Camp Dodge, la, July 5.-Three
negro soldiers convicted by court
martial of "assaulting and outrag-
ing" a l7-year-old white girl on the
cantonment grounds, the night OF
May "a, were hanged here today,
with virtually the entire division
witnessing the executions.
The three traps were sprung 81
multaneously at 900 a. m. and
death was almost instantaneous in
each case. The negroes marched
onto the scaffolds singing God
Have Mercy on My Soul"
The negroes were Nelson ohm
son OF Tuscumbia, Ala.; Stanley
Tramble of Stroud, Ala, and Fred
Allen of Georgiana, Ala, all selec-

Two Confess the Crime.
Johnson and Tramble were de-
clared by military police officials to
have confessed their complete guilt,
but Allen, while admitting his pres
ence when the crime was commit
ted, maintained to the last that he
did not outrage the girl.
Three negro soldiers among the
spectators tainted when the men
dropped to their death and another
ran amuck. He started on a dead
run directly toward the scaffold, but
guards overpowered him.
A white soldier also tainted.

Admits That as Result of Being Cut

Amsterdam, July Sin leading
article the Socialist newspaper Vor-
waerts of Berlin declared that the
desire of the German people for a
speedy peace with honor is SO strong
that a sensible accommodation from
the other side would be bound to
lead to its realization.
Our enemies today continues
the newspaper, have the opportu-
nifty of obtaining peace NOT pre-
scribed by the war map, but based
on the equipoise of the military and
economic forces on both sides.
"The policy of truth demanded
by Philip Scheidemann (Socialis,
leader requires an admission that
the economic forces of the German
people are not inexhaustible, and the
fact that we are cut off from over
seas raw material is being increas-
ingly felt.
The more candidly we speak of
this matter, the more ready will our

this oppressive situs' on can only

What He Said
The crown prince said:
at was when the Germans were
preparing to storm the Chemin-Des-
Danes. The frogs. which were found
in millions in the marshy Ailette
river region, croaked in such deaf
ening fashion that they enabled the
Germans to bring up batteries, am

Why He Hesitated.
He said he hestated until his mill

hands of the enemy the towers OF
the castle might menace the lives of
hundreds of German soldiers. The
emperor then remarked:
Would the French act different
