PRESIDENT is MERcIFUL.
Condemned Negro Soldiers to Suffer
L ife lnprisonment

Condemned Negro Soldiers to Suffer
Life Imprisonment.
Death sentences of the ten negro
soldiers who participated in the riot at
Houston Tex. August %, 1917. have
been commutcd to life Imprisonment by
President Wilson. In six other cases
the President affirmed the death SEN
tenCes because the condemned men had
been found guilty of having deliberately
and with great cruelty murdered civil
ians. This action. announced by the
war department, last Wednesday, con-
cludcs the cases OF twenty-nine ne
roes given the death penalty for their
part Of the riot. Thirteen were execut-
ed. and the president was called upon
to review the findings in sixteen cases.
The preident found the ten senten-
ces he commuted had not been con-
victed Of personally and directly caus-
ing deaths The soldiers involved were
not named in the statement. The pres
ident said:
81 commute the remaining sentences,
because 1 believe the lesson Of this
lawless riot will have been ade-
quately pointed out by the action al
ready taken, and that now directed,
and also because desire the clemency
here ordered to be recognition OF the
splendid loyalty Of the race to which
these soldiers belong and an inspira-
ton to the people Of that race to FUR
ther zeal and service to the country
of which they are citizens, and for the
liberties Of which so many Of them are
now bravely bearing arms at the very
front Of the great fields Of battle"
The president reviewed the record at
length, emphasizing the gravity of the
rioters crime and the care taken by
the military authorities to give them
justice. His statement said:
a mutinous and riotous group Of
soldiers participated in the affairs.
causing in all the deaths Of fifteen per-
sons and the serious wounding Of
twelve others. many Of whom were in
nocent bystanders. and all whom were
peacably disposed civilians Of Houston.
THE rights Of the defendants were
surrounded at every point by these
safeguards which an humane admin
istration of the law accords to those
charged with grave offenses Extraor-
dinary precautions were taken to in
sure the fairness Of the trials.
The review which I have been call

ed upon to make involves death pen
alties imposed upon sixteen persons
OF these I have affirmed six, because
the persons involved were found guilty
by plain evidence Of having deliberate
", under circumstances Of shocking
brutality. murdered designated and
peaceably disposed civilians.
The government relies upon Its SOL
diers for the defense Of the liberties OF
the people. and when soldiers forget
ting their obligations. break over the
restraints Of discipline and become
riotous and murderous mob. the very
foundations of order are shaken. When
peacably disposed and innocent civili-
ans are the victoms Of this sort OF riot
a stern redress Of their wrongs Is the
surest protection Of society against
their recurrence"

sIimp Hangs In the Air and Holds
Them Tight.
The "Blimp' Is the nickname which
the American pilots have given to the
little dirigible aIrships which are tech
nically termed as. S." or submarine
scouts.
The gasbag OF the Blimp Is $50 feet
long and thirty feet in diameter. The
lower structure is virtually that Of a
scouting airplane Of medium power. so
that the whole effect is that OF a sort
Of a cross between airplane and bal
loon. The crew is usually one pilot
and an observer. and the speed is forty
miles an hour.
The cargo Is load Of bombs which
work like a destroyers depth charges.
exploding by water pressure at depth
Of twenty to eighty feet. The carriage
contains steering gear bomb levers, a
wireless apparatus. camera and obser-
walton instruments.
Hundreds OF Blimps are constantly
on duty around the coasts OF France
and England. American pilots and
observers are just beginning to take
up this work. II Is the greatest u-boat
destroyer in existence, il the men who
work the Blimps are to be believed.
One enthusiastic American pilot who
had been dropping bombs up and down
the Irish sea for a month remarked:
THE Blimp Is not only one Of the ways
of destroying u-boats: it Is the way"
The advantage that the Blimp has
over the airplane is that II can stand
still in the air. IF a u-boat dives down
and lies out of sight on the bottom
the Blimp sits over II until II decides to
move on or come to the surface. II
the submarine does not move the
Blimp is just as well content. for in
the meantime the wireless has been at
work and the trawlers are coming up
in the course of an hour or two with
the necessary equipment to smoke Mr..
Submarine out OF his hole.
IL tlC itoSo utlOIS
help arrives the Blimp tackles it alone
with bombs. II the submarine tries
TO move away along the bottom of the
sea the Blimp follows it's shadow until
it comes, sooner or later. to a shallow
spot where 1t can be effectively dealt
with.
Subject to the Bimp's fuel supply
and its duration power" In the air.
there is little chance Of escape for a
u-hoat once il has been sighted by one
of these handy little drigibles. The
sighting or spotinG Of u-boats is the
great difficulty. for the seas around
England are large places and the range
of the individual Blimp is compara-
lively small.
\ larger type OF Blimp Is now being
used, known technically as the G. p,
or coast patrol. 1t carries a larger
crew and greater supply of fuel ana
is used for detecting mine fields rs
well as submarines.

Britain's lndians.-The Indians in
the British army on the western front,
notably the Sikhs, that highly discip-
lined military force from British India,
have little in common with the Ameri-
can red men. They come from the
other side of the earth; they are sons
of deeply religious sect, and for so
years or more have been an important
factor in tile British dominion Of the
far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most of them with boards and In
perfection of drill and military barring
they are not excelled by any-ts56ps on
the western front
But while their methods Of fighting
are quite dissimilar. the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian Is q
flexible unit, there is one thing In
which they are very much alike. AS
q humorous English writer-Punch
and its punsters still live-puts It:
II have had a chance to study both
the Indians from the East and the In
dians from the West, and while they
are very similar in most things, when
it comes to courage, may be excused
for saying that 1t is Skins Of one and
n half dozen of the other!"
