Refused Vaccination and Goes to
Prison.
Because he refused to allow medica
officers to vaccinate and innOculat,
him, Private Elmer N. Olson, of Good
rich. MIMI, member of the depo,
brigade at Camp Dodge, has been tried
ny general court martial and sentenced
to Is years at hard labor in the gov
eminent disciplinary barracks at TT
Leavenworth
This is the first case to come up fol
adjustment since the new ruling OF the
war department, making a refusal to
take medical treatment a penitentiary
onense. OF course Olson could have
been overpowered and forced to take
the dope" but the point involved in
his stern refusal was that Army Rule
No. SO was violated<n that he refused
to obey the order Of an officer. After
the court martial had rendered YER
dict Olson was informed OF the decis-
ION and given another opportunity, but
he still refused, so to the penitentiary
he goes. The contention of the court
martial was that vaccination and in
incubation were necessary for Olson
to perform properly his military duties.
Private George P. Kitchen, North
Dakota selective, has been sentenced
to five years by general court mar
tial on charges of desertion.
Ten years at hard labor in the fed
eral prison at Fl. Leavenworth was
the sentence given by a general court
martial to Private Herschel Rehmann,
of Salt Lake City, Utah, who was
found guilty Of desertion.
A new ruling has been promulgated
by the war department. 1t provides
as follows: "A garrison prisoner to
serve punishment will be required to
attend drills and perform military duty
generally, in so far as this is consid-
cred safe and advisa bic. and the hard
labor feature of the sentence shall be
applied during the hours when the
other soldiers are of duty. thus in
suring the military punishment will
not result In a relaxation OF discipline
or cessation of military training"

No Ground Glass in Food.
Last fall and early in the winter
there was very much of a scare at
the camp because of the report that
PARTICLES Of broken glass were found
IN canned tomatoes and in rice. Later
III 1t was reported that ground glass
was also prevalent in oatmeal. The
OmatOes were canned! in Missouri and
l member Of the firm who provided
hem was here on short notice to in
1estigate the matter. The war depart
nent finally censored all reference to
he matter and the excitement soon
lied down. In the meantime a thor {
,ugh investigation was made by Mr.. {
lowers department. His report has
