to 25 Years at Hard Labor.

Henkes, Sixteenth infantry, .. s. A,
has been sentenced to dismissal from
the service and confinement at hard
labor for % years by a general court
martial held at Governors Island.
Henkes, who Is of German descent,
endeavored to resign his commission,
saying he did not care to fight against
relatives and friends.
Captain Henkes, who was stationed
at San Antonio, Tex, last May wrote to
the secretary of war, urging him to
accept the resignation which he had
already submitted.
Captain Henkes, soon after he had
submitted his resignation. was ordered
to France with the American expedi-
tionary forces, and from his quarters
there on June %, 1917, and again on
October 10, wrote to the adjutant gen.
eral in Washington calling attention to
the fact that he had resigned. Final
ly he was ordered to this country and
tial at Governors Island, where he
was formally charged with violation of
the ninety-fifth article of war. Henkes

worth, Kan.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Evidence that
he was in touch with German agents,
contributing to Won Bernstorff's prop
aganda funds and working for peace
at any price before America went to
war was largely responsible for the
heavy punishment imposed on Capt.
David A Henkes. This evidence was
discovered after Henkes was brought
back from France for trial because of
his insistent demands that he be al
lowed to resign,

the tactics of concentrating artillery

The American guns Immediately

a doubly heavy retaliatOry fire and

ing considerable damage.
The German guns promptly ceased
fire. Whether they We're silenced or
stopped fire for other reasons is un-
known, but since that time hardly a
shot has been fired from that point.
A German patrol was found once

The next time they come in, with

They do so, and when they're

them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or, what

Pays Tribute to Farmers.


President Wilson paid high tribute
to the patriotism of farmers, declar-
ing their work equally as important as
that of the soldiers in uniform. His
statement in part follows:
''To increase the price of wheat
above the present figure, or to agitate
any increase of price, would have the
effect of very seriously hampering the
large operations Of the nation and of
the allies by causing the wheat of last
years crop to be Withheld from the
market.
'It would, moreover, dislocate ali
the present wage levels that have been
established after much anxious dis
cussion and would therefore create an
industrial unrest which would be harm
full to every industry in the country.
81 know the spirit Of our farmers
and have net the lest doubt as TO the
loyalty with which they will accept
the present decision.
'"Those peculiar circumstances gov
erning the handling and consumption
of wheat put the farmer at the very
center of war service. Next to the
soldier himself, he is serving the coun-
try and the world and serving it in a
way which is absolutely fundamental
to his own future safety and pros
perity He sees this and can be re
lied upon as the soldier can.
'The farmer is also contributing
I.r
alive to the sacrifices involved.
Draft Favors Farmers.
'In order to relieve the farming in
dustry as far as possible from further
drains of labor, the new draft regula-
tions have been drawn with view to
taking from the farms an even small
er proportion of men, and it is my hope
that the local exemption boards will
make the new classification with a
view of tightening the load upon the
farmers to the utmost extent.
"The federal railway administration
is cooperating in the most active, in
telligent and efficient way with the
food administration to remove the diff
ficulties of transportation, and of the
active movement of the crops. Their
marketing is to be facilitated, and the
farmers given the opportunity to real
lie promptly upon their stocks.
1.-THE business of war touches every
body. It is stern business, a coop
erative business, q business of energy
and sacrifice, a business of service in
the largest and best and most stirring
sense of that great word"
