 No less interesting was the prompt dis approval of the action of the court on the part of Brig. Gen George A. Allin, the camp commander, who has ordered that the accused soldier be released from confinement and restored to duty in his organization. The order issued by Gen eral Allin was issued after the sentence of the court had been held to be Illegal by the judge advocate general of the army
 General Allin' s foot-note in disapproving the sentence calls especial attention to the provisions of General Order No. 2S, war department. insofar as they are ap- plicable to the accused and suggests that they be carefully observed in future deal ings with this man.
 The specification under which Private Jasmagy was brought to trial before a general courtmartal was that, having received a lawful command from Lieut.. Zen s. Purse. his superior officer to po-
 ice the kitchen, did at Camp Gordon.

LOCAL SAILOR TELLS OF RESCUE WORK ON
 NORTHERN PACIFIC
Transport Held Record of Quick Passage Overseas and Crew Record for
 Buying Liberty Bonds

John E. Mandy. chief petty officer (machinis) of the transport Northern Pacific now stranded off Fire Island New York, arrived in the city yester- day on two-day visit to his parents, Mir. and Mrs. Edward c. Mandy of Ave- nue E, Ensley He states that the fear full battering given the stranded vessel by the high sea breakers has practi- cally made wreck of the vessel and that in his opinion it is doubtful whether it will ever be seaworthy again.
 MT. Mandy, who enlisted in the United States navy two years ago, has made 13 return trips to and from France on the Northern Pacific He deeply re- grets that the ship seems destined for the scrap yard, stating that the North ern Pacific held the passage record of all the transports, having made the trip from New York to Brest and re- turn, including loading and unloading, in II days and 10 hours. The ship also held the record among the trans ports for the purchase of Liberty Bonds by the crew.
 In speaking of the stranding of the vessel Mr Mandwy stated that while at
 
 breaking, the extremely rough sea and the adjacent sandbars made rescue work very difficult There were over 5000 wounded soldiers on board all of them practically helpless, but despite all disadvantages they were all re- moved from the vessel without sim gle loss of life or serious injury. He stated there was much discomfort aboard owing to all the ships ma chinery being put out of commission, but that the men made few or no com plaints and cheerfully aided in the res cue work.
 TRIBUTE TO RED CROSS n.'I want to pay tribute to the great work done for the men n service by the Red Cross said Mir, Mandy. Tt is undoubtedly the greatest humanitarian organization on earth, and it will be gratefully remembered by those who were the beneficiaries of it's kindly min istrations. It stands out pre-eminent in all the war work activities.
 Next to the Red Cross comes in lhe Salvation Army. The Salvation Army workers earned the undying gratitude of all the soldiers and sailors, for without ostentaton, without glamour, they went to the front and catered to the boy in the trenches and the boy from the ships to the very best of their ability, and did it well. As for the Y. M. c. Alas an institution I presume it is all right but as to it's war workers well, the less said the better
 , MT. Mandy has been transferred to the United States cruiser Des Moines . and will leave in a few days for cruise to the China seas.
