There is nothing in the evidence warranting the conclusion that Lieuten- ant Colonel Mixter did not act in entire good faith in the transaction referred to or indicating that he was influenced by his ownership of this preferred stock, which paid fixed dividend.
 Lieutenant Colonel Mixter has per formed efficient service for the govern ment and at substantial sacrifice I believe that the offense was unwittingly committed and recommend that he be granted a pardon"

NO ACTION TAKEN

No action against either Colonel Win . cent or Colonel Mixter has been taken by the department of justice. and the granting of full pardon to them was recommended to the President by Attor- hey General Gregory. who took up their cases in separate letters to the Presi- dent.
 These letters were made public tonight.
 Colonel Vincent was vice president Of the Packard Motor Car company, and was one of the designers of the Liberty motor.
 When that motor had been designed Y said MT. Gregorys letter to the Presi- dent, the Packard company rendered MT. Vincent and it's engineering staff and facilities for such service as might be necessary to test out and develop the design for production. The authorities authorized MT. Vincent to build a re- auired number of models and experiment tai motors, and he directed his company to do the work. He was commissioned in the signal corps, but retaining the ownership of his stock. His offense is that he acted for the government in con nection with settling the compensation to be paid the Packard company for this work. There is no evidence that he did not act in entire good faith, or that any advantage was taken of the govern

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

''The production of the Liberty motor was one of the great achievements in connection with the war. Colonel Vim cent rendered invaluable services in de signing and perfecting it.
 In view of all the circumstances recommend that full and complete par don be granted for the offense, as l be lieve it was unwittingly committed"
 MT. Hughes report said Colonel Mix ter owned 25 shares of stock of the Cur tiss Aeroplane and Motor corporation valued at $500, while he acted for the government in supervising inspection and production at this company's plant. This was held by both MT. Hughes and MT Gregory to violate the law.

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE


 It Is understood that the President will take the stand, first that the Kali ser should be dealt with Just as all other fallen warriors of history have been dealt with, that is, with the most scrupulous justice. and secondly. that the trial of the Kaiser is not necessa- rily a point to be determined by the associated powers in their capacity of allies. It is said to be his contention that if England, France or Italy desires the arrest and trial of the Kaiser that country, quite legally, could pursue it's course independently of all other coun- tries,
 The "punishment of the Kaiser has become one of the interesting topics of speculation, both in Europe and Amer ica.
 It is with official force indicated that England and France have deter mined to extradite the arch offender try him, and in the event he is proven guilty, summarily to order his execu- tion. If the former ruler is tried, there is no question but that short shrift would be made of his life.
 With this extreme idea which seems 10 be the prevailing idea it is known that the President finds no favor. The situation, however. becomes exceeding ly interesting in view of teh fact that the Senate is as bitter against the. Kaiser as either England pr France.
 FEELING OF SENATE
 The Senate holds with Lloyd George and Clemenceau and against what Is reported to be the position of the Pres ident. It is definitely established this afternoon through interviews with certain senators of both political parties that if the President argues off, 6oia Nv ha nd al safety of the former Emperor, the Sem ate will make known to European au- thorities that in such contention ths President Is not their spokesman < The Senate sentiment is not neces- sarily that the Kaiser should be hanged Ky the neck, but that certainly he should be exiled for life to some re- mote spot on which successfully he could not plot against the peace of the world
