PRESIDENT WILSON SAVES BOYS

President Wilson has again done right He has saved
from firing squad four young American soldiers who
went to sleep while sentry duty in France and were
sentenced be shot There will be rejoicing through
out the United States because of this act of humanity
and justice Two of the young given abso-
lutte pardons given sentences of three
each in prison.
1t seems that there very extenuatng circum-
stances in connection with this case. The boys

to the heavy gun fire which made it almost impossible
to and simply and lost conscious
They discovered asleep arrested, tried by
court martial and sentenced to be shot Sc
President Wilson had wisely decreed after the hang
ing of IL negro soldiers Texas that there should be
executions until he could review the evidence
required time for the testimony be transcribed and
the findings of the court martial be sent to Wash
ngton but the president acted promptly when he had
reviewed the evidence

Washington is a muchly changed

AS for the war in France, it is too
bad that when expressing himself,
Sherman's vocabulary was so extreme

when we get four or more million
more men over there things will be-
gin to brighten up, and that the first
seven years will be the worst
However, on my way back our
transport met 10 large transports go

good sized body of water there may
have been more at that time that we
didn't see.
So far, the administration has GER

News from Khaki Bows

The following letter to the Moscow
Chamber of Commerce from E. G
Boom, formerly well-known local at
torney who was associated with A. L
Morgan, will be read with much inter-
est by his many friends:
Takoma Park, D. c., April "a.
Gentlemen: Please do not think for
moment that because an acknowl-
edgement of the receipt of the COM
forts of life consisting of cigarettes,
candy and night shirts forwarded to
me by my friend Pickett, has been so
! long delayed by reason of any lack of
appreciation on my part. These pack
ages, together with the letter from
your committee consisting of Messrs
Oversmith and Suppiger, reached me
early in January. Also mighty nice
letter from Mr.. Pickett.
Just to show you how very much
all these things were appreciated, I
will say that outside of three other

ing the nine months l was in France,
although I know of dozens that were
sent
However, Notwithstanding I gave

less fortunate, / am still smoking on

the others who contributed to this
shipment.
The fact that / received these par
ticular packages is due, / am convinc-
ed, to the painstaking care with which
Mr.. Pickett prepared them and adj
dressed them.
Cigarettes and tobacco are more
plentiful over there now, but I have |
read an estimate that there are $4,000 |
or more packages in France that it
has been impossible to deliver.
I reached New York on the 9th Of
his month and at my own request
vas sent down here pending my dis
,harge from the army, as one who
will have to use crutches the rest

tated from doing military duty in

However, since being in Washing

cup OF coffee, held it in front of his
eyes, spat in 1t and threw it in his

1T was the usual thing whenever
they offered us anything to drink for
those German nurses to spit in il
first" Prendergast declares.
The prisoners were detrained at
Senne Lager bel Paderborn, one of the
first prison camps opened by the en-
envy.
"For II days." says the Irish boy,

There was no shelter above us and
not even a pallet of straw beneath US.
There were barracks and stables near
by that might have been used, but we
were not allowed to enter them. Most
Of us were too weak from our wounds
and virtual starvation to be able to
move. AT last they put up marquis,
mere canvas roof, without sides, and
we were permitted to lie under it.
The first medical attention l got was
when some French and Russian doc
tors-prisOners- arrived at the camp.
They dressed my head as best they
could, but they had no bandages, ex-
cept what they could make from my
dirty old army shirt.

erected in the center of the camp.
The officers would pick out a couple

the fact that they were hated British

ground Then they would set bowl

Another favorite entertainment for
he officers was to compel us to run for
hours with our bare feet in wooden
'abots that chafed with every step.
We would run until we dropped from
heer exhaustion.

With Albania. safely in the hands
OF the allies. there is every reason
to hope for the early redemption
OF Montenegro and Serbia, with a
well-defned threat against the Aus
trians in their most important posi-
tions. Give the allies Albania and
the Macedonian situation will be
greatly improved and a general
breakdown in Austria and Bulgaria
brought that much nearer.
But it is not the allies alone who
will benefit by such a series of vic
tories as the French and Italians
are now scoring. The Albanians
themselves can hope for independ-
ence- and freedom OF action only If
the allies win the war. They will be
made tributary to Germany and
Austria if the Central Powers
should come out ahead. President
Wilson's doctrine of the independ-
ence and protection of the small
states is their only hope.
