Not a single member of the
American Army has been put to
death since the beginning of the
war because of the commission
OF a purely military offense.
Major General Crowder, Judge
Advocate General, states in his
annual report to Secretary Ba-
ker.
The report shows that l2,357
officers and men were brought
before general courst-matshal.
Of whom 1O,873, or SO per cent,
were convicted, More than half
the charges against officers were
listed under three heads Cab
sent without leave, drunkenness,
and conduct unbecoming an Of
fcer."
Convictions Of enlisted men for
assertions, the General said,
were actually less than in the
previous years, although the
strength Of the army had in
creased many fold. {
The report shows that one i
enlisted man was tried and con- {
victed Of being a spy" and P
that 773 men were convicted Of
sleeping on post.-N. Y. Times.

Platinum Jewel settings and teeth

CAPITAL OYSTERS
DOING THEIR BIT"
TO WIN THE WAR

Eat oysters and help win the war.
This might well be one OF Wash
ington's slogans for the conservation
OF food, as today all oyster markets
IN the city are glutted, and, instead
OF wishing for more oysters as they
were some weeks ago, proprietors of
oyster markets in the District are
wishing for more room in which to
put their supplies OF the succulent
bivalves.
Several weeks ago oysters could
not be had for love nor money. With
Chesapeake Bay frozen over, oyster
men found it impossible to get at the
bivaIves, but today it's different.
With the recent thaw. the oyster
Eatherers made up for lost time. and
the result is that markets i'm the city
have more oysters than they can
comfortably handle.
Washington dealers have sent or
ders to their wholesalers not to ship
any more oysters-not that they do
not want them, but what will they
do when they get them, since they
have mop lace to put them.
Yes. it sure Is hard luck.
Sometimes there is not an oyster on
the market, and then again there are
tons and tons more than the de-
mand. but this Is the advice OF one OF
Washington's largest dealers. He
says Go get 'em while you can. as
they may not last long. and don't for
get that when you are eating oysters
you are also conserving food, and In
that way helping to win the war"
