Capt. HcnkCs' Case.
stamford Advocated

Capt. David A. Henlles of the 18th
Infantry Regiment, a part of the
American eXpeditionary force in
France, has been dishonorably dis
charged from the army and SEN
fenced by Il courtmartiaI to twenty
five years imprisonment at hard
labor. lie had demanded to be re-
leased from service on tho ground
that he was unwilling to fight friends
and relatives in tho German army.
General Pcrshing was quite convinced
that that officer WAS out of place in
his ranks, and sent him home for
such disposition as the Government
would make of his case. There was
no question of course that he had
taken the commissioned officers oath
to be faithful and true to his flag
Equally of course his demand for re-
lease, and the reasons he gave for it
were sQuarely in opposition to the
cath he had taken. In explanation Of
the heaVincss of the sentence it is
stated in Washington dispatches that
ample evidence had been found in
Eis papers and correspondence show
ing that he was in touch with Ger
man agents of dcViltlN in inns coun-
try, was q contributor to Won Bern
storff'S prOpa ganda fund, ana worked
tooth and nail against the govern
ment and country whose pay he was
drawing and whose uniform he wore.
TTo econos 10 have inherited q full
share Of that peculiar German mind
which can sec no disgrace or dis
honor in conspiracy or perjury, pro-
vided only his crime be committed in
behalf of the German cause. He may
como TO q. different conclusion later
on. Certain il is he will have ample
time to think it over.

Bryan'S Easier job.
providence Journal

Mr.. Bryan's remark about mil
lion Americans springing to arms be-
tween sunrise and sunset OF single
dax to rcpel an invasion reappears
from time to time in print to plague
him. Thus the Waterbury American
says, paraphrasing the quotation, ap-
parcptly. from memory:
One Of the great opportunities Was
lost when William Jennings Bryan
was not sent to Russia. He is the
man who cOul0 create an army OF a
million overnight, so he said. What q
help he would have been to Russia
in the present crisis.
But Mr.. Bryan is not concentrating
his attention on military matters at
present. He will devote himself, 1t
is reported, to pushing the federal
prohibition campaign. He has seven
wears in which to raise his ratifica-
tior army, so that the task is a good
deal more leisurely than the ono he
formerly. contemplated.
