REVERTED TO TYPE
Eerret's Night Off an Orgy Of,
Slaughter.
Little Killer Left Thick Trail Of Dead
Which He Had Destroyed for the
Pure Joy Of Staying, and
Went Home.

His mother was a ferret, lean. gel
low and pink eyed and a she devil
to boot, says a writer in London An
swers.
His father was worse, a wild pole
cat of the mountains, and u worse
devil than ever.
But he, the cherub, was so soft and
furry and fat and creamy, and, though
he had got pink eyes, there seemed
to be nothing else of his mother and
father about him. He never bit, he
Gever spat, and he used bad lam
guage, and he lived upon bread and
milk, like a gentleman.
So he was till the spring broke.
1t was their own fault. the ferret
ers. They took him out rabbiting, as
usual. They put a collar with a bell
on round his neck, Is usual. and a
long, long string on the collar. as
usual. and they turned him into q
rabbit warren, as usual. And he
sneezed three times, as usual, and hq
walked docilely down the first rabbit
hole he came to, as usual, to turn out
the rabbits from their burrows. as
usual. that the sportsmen outside
might shoot them as they bolted.
So far, until he got into the middle
Of the mazes Of tunnels, the inky dark
nesses, and the stuffy heat, full Of
the smell Of castor oil-don't know
why, by the way-and he could hear
the drumming of rabbits feet fleeing
before his ghostly, terrible self. every
thing happened as usual. Then nothing
did.
He was pulled up with a jerk that
yearly choked him. He tried going for
ward, but 1t was all no good. He
had only a yard Of play either way.
His line was entangled in a root.
The hours passed, and the %ferreters,
after trying every device known to
man to get him out, gave it up and
went home. The cherub did not give
1t up. He worried slowly. and he
chafed, he pulled. and tugged, he
backed, and he sweated, and he
sneezed,. and finally his collar came
undone or broke.

ONLY ONE AMERICAN
CONVICTED AS Spy
Not One Execution i'm u. S.
Army For Purely Mill
tary Offense. $50

Washington, Dec. 9.--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
Gen. Crowder, judge advocate gener-
al, declared in his annual report today
to Secretary Baker.
VERY few death sentences have
been imposed" he said, land none
of these imposed for purely military
offenseS have been carried into exc
cution.''
Records of the judge advocate
generals Office show that 1887 off,
GERS and men were brought before
general courts martial, of whom
10,S73 were convicted. More than
half the charges against officers were
listed under three heads: Absent
without leave; drunkenness and con-
duct unbecoming an officer" Convtc-
tions of enlisted men for desertion,
the general said, were actually less
than in the previous year, although
the strength of the army had in
creased many fold.
The report shows that one enlisted
man was tried and convicted of
being a spy" and that IT'S men were
convicted of sleeping on post.

MACMILLAN HARDEN IS
kAISER'S CHAMPION
Famous Editor Declares Will
helm Not Responsible For
Bringing About War.

London, Dec. 9.--Maximiliaa Har-
den, editor of the Zukunft of Berlin,
said to the correspondent of the E;x-
press, according to a dispatch from
the German capital, that the impress
sion abroad concerning former EN-
peror William is false one. He said
that he, himself had suffered too
much through the former emperor to
incur a charge of partiality, but that
it was a fact that William Hohenzol-
lern had no personal part in willing
the war, but was a mere tool in the
hands of the military party, by which
he was regarded as a coward.
when the moment for declaring
the war came, the miIitarists were
afraid he would refuse to sign the
declaration" said Harden. The for
mer emperor missed his vocation. He
never was happier than when posing
in the limelight. He ought to have
managed a cabaret or taken a show
on tour. He was q great Snowman
Declaring he knew when America
came into the war that Germany
would be beaten, Harden said:
Il fought with the censors to tell
the people this, and when President
Wilson published his 4 points l ad-
vocated their acceptance because I
knew we could not get better or more
favorable conditions"

Matthew BureiIe Succumbs to Injuries
Received When Dinl<y Runs
Him Down.

Matthew Bureile of Bridgeport died
at the New Britain General hospital
this morning of injuries received
when he was struck last night by the
inbound Berlin dinky, at the Park
street crossing. Bureile, who is about
35 years of age, stepped in front of
the dinky, it is believed, thinking it
to be on another track. He was
picked up by the dinky crew, uncon-
scious, and hurried to the hospital
where he died a few hours after
being admitted.
Bureile was walking the tracks
coming toward the passenger station,
presumably to get a train for Bridge
port, when the 1898 dinky came
along. Whether he believed it to be
on another track, or failed to hear
it is not known, as he stepped dt-
rectly in the wake of the dinky. He
was struck and taken to the hospital
where it was found that he had q
fractured skull and a number of ser
ious bruises and cuts. He was un-
conscious and nothing could be
learned of him with the exception of
his name and place Of residence,
taken from his registration card. The
Bridgeport police have been notified.

of efficiency boards. 1852; deserted 2,
included in the total under the head
ing faction of efficiency boards, the
report says, were SO officers dismissed
by sentence of court martial. The
large number of officers dropped can
be satisfa ctorily explained, General
Heavey said, by the fact that only a
small proportion had had any mill

portion lacked the necessary basic
education and physical qualifications
The aggregate strength Of the Ma
tional Guard drafted into federal
service is given as 100 officers and
367,223 enlisted men.

British Army Surprised at Frater-

Rejoice at British Adyance.
"AS We approach the Rhine" the
correspondent says, "our reception be-
comes more surprising. The authori-
ties in such places as Duren say un-
disguisedly that they rejoice at our
arrival. They give two reasons for
this, that they are afraid of their own
people and are afraid of starvation
Many men confess that the end of the
war brought such relief that the
stigma of defeat weighs little. Chill
dren sometimes cheer our arrival
Revolution a Real One.
The revolutionary movement is
real, but not much on the surface.
The outbreaks during the.Lfrst days
were suppressed by the retreating
army which Is much less Bolshevik
than the soldiers in reserve and at the
bases, have seen many German
soldiers IN uniforms shorn Of badges.
They are demobilized but they have no
civilian clothes to take the place Of
their uniforms.
Armed Guards Friendly.
The armed men guarding the arms
In the barracks talk without rancor
of their experiences In the war against
both the British and French. An
overwhelming desire for peace makes
of these soldiers q strong instrument
of socials solidity, at any rate FOR the
time being.
Danger signals are received at
times and on occasion cavalry and
machine gunners are called for bv
the Germans for fear-generally. 7
think, exaggerated fear-of Bolshevik
outbreaks of Russian character. Tho
