CONSCIENTIOUS 0BJECT0R GETS
 LONG SENTENCE
Must Serve Five Years Two Arkansas Destert
 CTS Punished.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.--Privatc Hem ry H. McGilvery. claiming to be conscientious objector and a member of the Seventh-Day Adventists, will serve the next five years in the military prison at Fort Leavenwort.l. according to one of nine courtmar- tial verdicts announced at Camp Pike Thursday.
 Albert Duane Swift Jr of Bates- vile, Ark, who was found guilty of deselTion will serve 20 years, while Private J. w. Harris of Rounc Pond, Ark, charged with numerous Dffenses, including assertion, .issu. ance of fraudulent checks, carrying concealed weapon and persuadns; other privates to desert, also will serve five years.
 Private McGilvery was charged with refusing to obey a command of his superior officer. Later on two additional occasions he was charged with refusing to obey all officer. claiming that the orders, issued on Saturdays, would necessitate that he work on day which he consider ed the Sabbath. An order which had been issued by Major General Stur- gis, commander of the 87th Division. that bonafide members of the Sev- enth-Day Adventist faith not be re. quired to work on Saturdays unless military necessities made it advisable. was still in force, Colonel Miller. camp commander, held in disapprov- ing findings in two specifications. On the other specification. how . ever, McGilvery claimed he was a ' conscientious objector, Colonel Mil Ter found that the work. that O. cleaning latrine, was not combat ant, and that therefore McGilvery' s claim was not valid. even if he had originally claimed to be a conscien, tious objector.
 Swift, the Batesville man given a 1 2O-year sentence was consclen- tious objector. He formerly taught school at DeQueen and Mena. In ad- dition to teaching school he was a self-styled preacher.
 When ordered to report for service he refused and refused to entrain for Camp Pike or to don a uniform. He was arrested by United States off 1 cers and later turned over to mill- tary authorities.
 Swift's father lives at l'atesville He is timber buyer.

attempted to re-take Serey but each time he was repulsed with heavy losses. Then he made a fierce as sault on Meurcy farm, east the Ser, inges, which was piled; with the dead which he had left there the day before, when every man defend- ing 1t died at his post. There again the enemy was unsuccessful, though not until steel has crossed steel in the big farm yard and the heaps of German slain had been doubled in the ruins about it.
 Battle to The Death.
 "This was classic fighting indeed man against man and the better to win. There was no call for quar- ter. The pride of the professional SOL dier was up against the pride of the free man, both precerring death to surrender.
 Later in the morning the fight ing extended still further eastward and in every case the Germans who attacked were annihilated. Later came the attack on Seringes and an attempt at the same time to drive the allies from Hill 1S7, west of Seringes.
 There for the first time since tho allies crossed the Ourcq the Germans may be said to have definitely taken the offensive.
 All though the days fighting the enemy's airplanes attempted in the ,nAost daNing manner to assi;D in the battle. Early in .khe morning six enemy planes succeeding in pene- trating as far as the La Croix Blanche farm, near Le Fere forest They swooped down close above the roads in the valley and fired upon allied troops.
 "Members of the Prussian guard who were taken prisoner state that their orders were to hold the line at all costs and well they OLeyed. All three of their battalions were .appar- ently in the line on this memorable day, which ended everywhere in vic tory for the allies, although there was no great gain of ground.
 During the following night ground near Cierges was captured by the Americans. This advance will mak' it possible for the troops in this sec tor to join hands with the conquer ors of Sergy and Seringes.'

Londan, Wednesday, July 31.-(Ry the Associated Press .)-Yesterday was a day of sheer, hard in-and- out fighting on the American front, tele- graphs Reuters correspondent on the front north of the Marne. He says that the final capture of Seringes by the Americans was an especially cred itable achievement.
 After the Americans took the vil- lage on Monday, the Germans made no infantry attack on the place, but kept up constant artillery and ma chine gun fire to drive them out. This continued all day on Tesday and towards evening the enemy seemed to think that the spirit of the defenders might possibly be broken and then they began to emerge from the Nes- les forest in way that seemed to forecast fresh attempt to take the village. Of the fighting which en- sued the correspondent writes:
 Americans Set Trap.
 "The Americans after three days of to-and-fro fighting through villages, had learned subtlety and were deter mined to have real fight to finish. They consequently withdrew as if re- tiring from Seringes and the Germans crept down from the high ground con- vinced they had their opponents beat en. Additional German troops came pouring in until the town was occu- pied as it never had been before.
 "But as the new occupants began to organize their defense, they found that bullets appeared to be coming in from three sides of the village and it was not long before they discovered that the Americans, while withdraw ing from the front of the town, had commenced an encircling movement on both sides, thus forming ring al most completely around it.
 "Then came tragic fighting. The Prussian Guard had voted not to sur- render and their opponents were just as anxious 10 see the thing through. It was an affair of small arms, but the Americans proved to be better shots there.
 Ring Closes on Prussian&
 "Then the Americans began to ad- vance and slowly their encircling ring closed about it. As the ring drew closer and the defenders saw doom ap- preaching they redoubled their fire, but still The Americans came on un- falteringly.
 When the Americans reached the precincts of the villaage their fire ceased and with one wild yell they closed with the foe. The fierce uproar suddenly gave place to a strange sil- dnce as man grappled with man. Only the clash of steel and the groans of the stricken could be heard.
 Yankees Prove Superiority.
 1.-The issue w|as never in doubt for an instant At this kind of fight ing the American is more than equal to any Prussian guardsman, and in a little more than ten minutes all was over. Except for few German prisoners. every German in the will lage had breathed his last Such was the final capture of Seringes.

Next evening I was summoned for my lessons to the Schloss itself, the princes preferring to remain there with the Kaiser. While I was there, the mob again gathered outside, and shouted for the Kaiser to come out.
 was left by myself in apartment looking out upon the crowd, and saw what happened, though. I only heard from Prince Oscar afterwards what actually took place.
 T will go out to them,' the Kaiser suddenly announced.
 His sons and members of the court endeavored to dissuade him.
 q will go," he repeated, and or dered out one of his open carriages
 He entered this, with Prince Eitel Friedrich and Prince Oscar. The gates were thrown open, and the car riage was driven out into the midst of the surging crowd, and there halted.
 The Kaiser rose, amid such cheers as I have seldom heard in Berlin, and held up a hand for silence.
 Here I am, among my people g he called. What is it you want of mel"
 Their answer was to unharness the horses and drag the carriage back into the palace courtyard. Then they dispersed with cheers-and that was the end of their demonstrating.
 fAThe dirty swine,'' said the Kaiser to his sons after it was all over. q knew they would not dare to raise 8 hand against ME-"
 My first introduction to life in the Palace of the Kaiser was an eventfuI one, which lam not likely to forget as long as my memory serves me.
 My engagement as sports tutor to Prince Oscar was not many weeks old when I received one day telegram from the Prince, asking me to come without any delay to the Ber1iner Schloss, the official residence of the Kaiser, corresponding to Buckingham Palace in London.
 At the same time a servant, who, because he was able to speak English always waited upon me, came to an nounce that the car was ready. The car in question was Prince Oscars own, and, like those of all the Kaiser's son, and of the Kaiser him. | self, was painted a dark red and fur nished with the musical horn by | which the cars of Hohenzollerns were distinguished from those of ordinary 1 people.
 I may say here that while I resided at Kabinetthaus a special car, of or. dinary description, was always re- served for my use, but the occasions on which I rode in the Royal cars were rare, and always rather excft- | ing. The distance from Potsdam tc Berlin is something a little under | twenty miles, and the rapidity witt which we covered that distance, an6 the respectful manner in which the traffic pulled out. of our way at the toot of the musical horn was an ob. ject lesson in privilege.

SCHEME IS PARAMOUNT
 TO EDUCATION

The Bridgeport administration has ruled that the education of children is of secondary importance to the so- called public plaza, the benefit of which has not yet been explained to the public. At a meeting of the Board of Education last night Chairman FL mer H. Havens said William D. See ley had told him that it would be inn possible to take money from bond is- sues for the construction of schools this year. Seeley is not connected with the bonding committee, but is president of the Board of Apportion- ment
 Following Havens' statement it was voted to temporarily abandon plans for the South and Myrtle avenues school building. Congestion in that vicinity as well as several other sec tions of the city badly hampers educa- tional facilities, according to repeated reports made to the board by Schools Supt. Samuel J. Slawson.
 Two more High school teachers have joined the colors. Leaves of ab- sence were granted by the board to Donald B. Wilson, science teacher,and Arthur Sykes. The former is called in the draft and the latter is now sta toned at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
 Miss Ruth Campbell, fourth grade teacher at Maplewood school, submit ted her resignation to take effect on Friday. The schools committee re- ported the following new appoint ments:
