SAILOR CANNOT GO no TRIAL IN
STATE OF VIRGINIA.
New State Law Requires His Dis
charge From Service First.

On tho 10th inst, because the pris.
oner still was in Uncle Sans service
Police Justice Crutchiield decided
that his court had no jurisdiction in
the matter Of Louis lmblcr, 30 years
old, OF KokOmo, Ind, second class
pipe filter in the Navy, recently ar
rested at the naval training station
in Philadelphia and brought back
here last night to answer two
charges of housebreaking and grand
larceny.
The court let the case go over UNI
til August rs so that II ruling could
be obtained from the United States
Attorney General. Failure of the
Navy authorities to discharge Imblcr
when he was turned over to Il Rich
mond detective by order of Secretary
Daniels caused the hitch. the court
pointing out that Il special Virginia
law eNempta soldiers and sailors
Sro'n prosecution by civil! aut"orittca
Tor the period OF the present war so
long as they are in the service
The order from Daniels merely di-
rccted that Imblcr be released and
that he be returned to the Navy if
not convicted. Justice Ccutchiicld
held that this was far different from
Il discharge and that lmbler was just
as much sailor as ever.
The man appeared in court in his
service uniform. He enlisted in the
Navy in Norfolk two months ago and
was trained at the station there. He
was released several months before
from the Virginia penitentiary after
serving half of ten year term for
burglary in Newport News. He is
alleged to have committed the Of
tense here soon after his release.

WORK AND PLAY FOUND SOLC-
TION TO VICE PROB
LEM

PARIS, Aug. 2S. - The Ameri-
can expeditionary force constitutes
the most moral army in the world,
according to official statements Of
the United States medical corps.
Attributing the extremely low
percentage of affected men in the
army to the medical programs of
the United States forces, medical Of
ficers say the two important factors
in the production of the most moral
army were vigorous work pro-
grams coupled with the diversified
recreations of the camp and hygenic
measures.
At a meeting of the research So
ciety of the American Red Cross,
consisting of the medical officers
of the United States army, the plan
now in operation in the training
CdupS VI the OultOu OIdtCo, WhSAO
illicit houses and the liquor traffic
is suppressed, was spoken of as
highly productive of good results.
The introduction in the training
camps of the United States of ath-
letic games, libraries, recreation
halls under the Young Mems Chris
tian association and other organiza-
tions, lectures and wholesome
amusements were hailed as a great
step in the solution of the problem
of vice in the army.
The work of the chaplains, the
universities and the press also was
mentioned as playing a great part
in the alienation.
The education of men along NOR
al lines conducted by the medical
officers, through literature which
was distributed among the men, by
exhibits and through the agencies
of the wal department commission
of training camp activities served
to keep the men in the right mental
attitude toward the problem, the
medical officers stated.
