Second Lieut.. Merrill Reed, Of Com

has been dismissed from the army by
authority of President Wilson.
Lieutenant Reed, who has been hrId

military court found him guilty Of tbs
UtfrnSr and sentenced him to a term
Of imprisonment, has been freed from
confinement, as the President dsap
proved of this portion Of the findiugs,
but he is compelled to doff his Khaki
and don the habilimcnts of Il civilian
and hereafter will be known as Mrr
rill Reed without a military PREFIX. He
il barred from further entry INTO the
rorvicc of the army.
On the night in February when he
- shot up' the dancing hall, Reed. who
had formerly been a nOn-r0mmlssiour
officer of the army, learned that a Pur
tugurse girl with whom he had been
friendly before, was in the hail. He
entered it, although the dances rs 4
rule are not frequented by commission
ed officers, and on seeing the girl dane
ing with an enlisted man, became en-
ragged. The girl, it is said, tainted him
as she whirled around the hall in one
step, and Immediately Reed pulled II
revolver from beneath his blouse and
began shooting. Fortunately no one
was hit or hurt.
Private Lcsmristrr, Company r., Send
Infantry, was the man dancing with
the girl at the time. I.esmristrr really
saved the girl from harm, for the in
slant he saw Reed reach for his gun,
he rushed the girl out Of sIdr EN-
trance. Soldiers grabbed Reed and
took away his weapon.
Reed received his commission as Il
