MEN In UNIFORM

Pleading guilty in the United States

woman, was sentenced to imprison-
ment for six months at hard labor and
it is announced will be taken from Pen
sacola to McAlester, Okla, where the
female government prisone. are con-
fined.
This woman, with yesterdays ap-
pearince In the federal court, was twice
before Judge Sheppard on the same
charge, that of furnishing liquor to
men in uniform. The first plea of
guilty brought forth a sentence in the
county Jail here, but the second plea
and appearance was more severe. The
woman was caught by Plain Clothes
Officer Mcintyre, while she occupied a
house on North Tarragona street. Her
place was under suspicion and the Of
ficer named stationed himself In a
growth of tall weeds in an attempt 10
get view of the interior of her home.
About the time the officer stationed
himself a short way from the house at
night, he saw woman dash from the
rear door to the clubhouse, and leave
the latter place with an armful of
bottled beer. The officer and his as
sistant in this case followed closely
and had them arrested. She was ar
raigned In the city court and from
there was bound over to the federal
authorities.

Clownish Captain Of
Coepenic Is Dead

Amsterdam, March 29.-William
Voight, shoemaker, who caused
the whole world to laugh at the eX-
pense of German militarism by his
escapade at Coepenic, in 1906, is
dead, according to an announce
ment made in Berlin.
In October, 1906, a man in the
uniform of a captain of grenadiers
recruited q detachment of twelve
men in the streets of Berlin through
Il forged military order. At the head
of the men, the captain" who was
Voight, went to Coepenic, a small
town near Berlin. There he arrested
the burgomaster and the treasurer
of the town and took possession of
funds amounting to about $1,000.
The trick was soon discovered and
Voight, in December, was sentenced
to four years Imprisonment. In
August, 1908, he was pardoned by
Emperor William and in March,
1910, he went to the United States,
where he visited Chicago and New
York. His deportation was ordered
from Washington, and in April he
was sent out of the United States.
After he was sentenced to prison,
a Frau Wertheim, of Berlin, offered
to pay him an annuity. This was
accepted by Voight, but last month
he was compelled to bring suit for
unpaid pension.

The government has fallen to the
moral level of the light-fingered
Crown Prince, and those who wish
to sell or buy the booty taken from
the captured towns of France and
Belgium are officially directed to the
war booty office.
Bonaparte let his generals and his
men plunder houses, perhaps be-
cause he had no other way to pay
them. When he sent art treasures to
Paris, it was with the excuse that
they would be safer there. This pre-
text has been used by Germany in
the present war to explain it's loot
ings of libraries. These, no doubt,
will be kept for the private edifica-
ton of the Hohenzollerns until
stronger hands take them away
and restore them to their old places.
The fate of the smaller bits of plum
der now officially offered for sale
in Berlin will be different, for they
will be dispersed beyond recovery,
sold by thievish government to en-
rich itself and please it's people.
Wellington shot his men when he
caught them stealing in the PENN
Sula, but the buSineSSlike William
sets up market for what his SOL
diers lift.
Few nations have clean hands in
the matter of unofficial loot. The
Sun was one of the papers that did
not shut its eyes to the disgraceful
conduct in Peking of the putative
Christian soldiers, citizens and mis-
sionaries who robbed temples and
palaces and who murmured that it
was the quickest way of obtaining
''reparation.' But this was not of
fetal. Even with the Germans, the
most brutal plunderers and murder
erS in China at that time, the crimes
were unofficial.
Perhaps the German government
has been driven to its official ap-
proval of theft-and it must be re-
membered that individual looting
has been forbidden by the articles of
war of all civilized countries-by a
consciousness that it's people are
jealous of its princes. The pickings
of these precious young men have
been notoriously rich. The Crown
Prince carried enough stuff out of
France to rival the warehouses of
Grand Rapids. Prince Eitel Fritz,
who was familiar with the furnish
ings of great Belgian houses where
he had once been guest, hurried to
rob these homes. Prince Joachim
proved to his father that even in
Russian Poland, an efficient furni-
ture thief could live up to the best
traditions of the house of Hohen-
zollern.
Is the thieves market in Berlin
a part of the democracy that Prus-
sia is giving to her beloved peo-
pie?
