SAYS ARREST reward
SHOULD Be REFUNDED
Judge Advocate General Decides Is
sue Over Soldiers Absence From
Washington Barracks.

The commander of a company at
Washington Barracks recently wrote
to the chief of police at Manchester.
N. H., that one Of his soldiers living
in the latter city had been absent for
three days without leave and that un-
less he returned the day following he
would be considered a deserter. Sew
eraI days later, the police chief ar
rested the soldier and delivered him
to the military authorities at Fort
Constitution. with a copy of>the let
ter from the company officer at WASH
ington Barracks, whereupon he was
given the reward ofs$5o usual in such
cases. When the commandant at
Washington Barracks was ADVISED OF
the payment of the reward he pro.
tested against it on the ground that
the arrest of the soldier as deserter
was not justified.
Judge Advocate Generd1's Decision.
The case was referred to the judge
advocate general and that official has
given an opinion that under all the
circumstances the arrest and payment
of the reward were not justfned. IN
view of the fact that the soldier was
only absent without leave and not
an actual deserter the judge advocate
general held that the company com
mander be reQuiped to reimburse tne
government the amount of the re-
ward. 49,.
The Army regulations provide that
no man shall be reported as deserter
unless the company commander mas
reason to believe that the aoseheee
does not intend to return.

Fitted Out With a Layette.

Already providence has provided in
part. for a tall person arrived with
gifts from that city of plenty with
the queer name of Chicago, and little
Marcelle was fitted out with layette.
And the good wishes from the readers
OF the Daily News that went with 1t
brought a world of thanks from the
pale lips.
Marcelle has had her picture taken,
in the arms of the American Red
Cross nurse who takes care of her,
Miss Stephens, from Sacramento, Cal.
It's hard to tell in a picture how de-
lightful she is. but you may take my
fectly good baby.
With her In the picture. in the arms
Of the Daily News representative, is
another recipient of your gifts, a
youngster whose start in life is even
sadder than that of Marcelle. He is
q little boy month old. thin and al
ready undernourished, although he
seems quite normal in development.
say he seems normal because his
mother suffers from very severe epi-
lepsy and is herself decidedly abnormal,
SO that Mime. Chardayre has been
obliged to take her baby away from
her. Last week she tried to kill the
child by lying on it. Mercifuliy she
did not succeed. These people are also
refugees. The father is a soldier, but
the authorities. in spite of their eff
forts. have not been able to locate
him. This little boy has three older
sisters and brothers. who are now
being cared for by kindhearted
French soldier and his wire, Lieut..
Desmeules, who was working under
the subprefect of Noyon. NJ. Besques,
and helped evacuate that martyred
town. But what will be done with the
little boy do not know.
These two mites are fvo o,,t ~ <bo
millions of children in France who
have been cut of from their place in
the sun by the apostles of kultur be-
fore their life had begun. They are
two reasons out of millions why we
will fight this war to finish.

ind TORPEDOES
ARE MUT|LA
German Workman Arrested for
"Doctoring" Machinery for
Propulsion of Navy
Missiles.

New York, Dec. 31-Paul Hennig,
naturalized German, who has been en-
ployed as a foreman in a Brooklyn
factory engaged in the making of tor
pedoes for the United States govern
ment was remanded to Jail without bail
in federal court here. today charged
with treason.
Hennig, authorities say, superin-
tended the assembling Of the gyro-
scopes which control the course OF the
torpedoes. According to District At
torney France, some of these gyro-
mutilated." This was done in such a
way as to render useless the torpedoes
in which tho horoscopes were Installed.
Not only would these torpedoes have
been worthless as weapons, but IT IS
possible they would have proved I1r, en-.
users" said the district attorney.
Hennig came to the United States in
1908 and was naturaliZed in 1916.
Naval inspectors, it was stated, have
had him under close observation Tor
several weeks. Imperfections in the
parts of the horoscopes which We're as
sembled in Hennig's department Law
ing aroused suspicion
The gyroscope which has been
| termed "the brain of the torpedo" is or
such intricate construction, authorities
say, that a defect which could be de-
tected only by an expert would divert
| the missile from it's course.
In the Indictment, which was re-
| turned yesterday by federal grand
| jury and kept secret until today, it is
charged that Hennig "malieiously and
| traitorously aided Germany" by equip
| ping torpedo horoscopes with imper-
| fectly fitted bearings and wheels which
We're found to be cracked. District At
| torney France declared emery dust, an
| abrasive which would disable the deli
cate gears of the horoscopes, also was
found among some of the assembled
| parts.
| Hennig, authorities declare, is a
| highly skilled mechanic and holds
American patent rights on number of
torpedo control and propulsion devices.
| One of Hennig's sons, it was said, has
| been interned as an alien enemy at Ellis
| island.
When arraigned before Federal Judge
| Veeder in Brooklyn today Hennig. in an
accent which was Enthusiastically Ger
man, pleaded mot guilty" He was or
tlered held without bail until January
i 2, when date will be set for his hear

While ( have no doubt that these
merchants are actuated by patriotic

that they have failed to consider the
