REVISING MOST
 OF SENTENCES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-R-- Secretary of War Newton D. Baker announces that there will be a re- vision of most of the court martial sentences imposed during the war With the exception of cases of the gravest character or where aggra vated circumstances exist, the sen tences imposed by general court martial will be lessened.
 MT. Baker announced that 1t was the policy of the war department to be as lenient as was compatible with justice in the matter of military crimes. A great number of those convicted by general court martial were for comparatively minor of lenses but the discipline of the mill tary establishment demanded that the men be punished. With the de mobilization of the army in progress many of these men now being pun ished for military offenses will be re leased and given a clean record.
 There are many cases. however where 1t Is so evident the convicted person is at heart a criminal that these cases will receive no consider ation from the war department.

TWO MEN KILL
 TWELVE WOLVES ON BIG CHENA

Joe Chesna. an old time prospectol and miner of the Big Cinema, ar rived in town Sunday for load O. supplies. Yesterday he narrated how he with his partner. Andy Batolla recently killed twelve wolves in . small gulch near their camp.
 The attention of the men was at tracted by snarling and yelping noises coming from the gulch. Think ing that some of their neighbors dog team had run away they wen, to investigate but found instead of { dog team large number of wolves The band had cornercd two moose and had downed em ;il l were oe. vouring the carc;l;s"s l'ne animals were fighting among themselves over the spoil and that was what attract. ed the attention of the men.
 Hastily putting the guns into ac. tion they succeeded in killing quite { few before the band broke and ran The next morning the men again visited the scene and found nothing but the bones of the moose left. the wolves having returned in the nigh' for their prey.
 Joe estimates that there must have been at least a hundred of the raven ous animals in the pack, which Is an unusual thing as scarcely over three to five wolves have ever been no. ticed together in that section at one time. Three pelts were brot to town being a source of good revenue as there is a bounty of $15 on each animal slain and the price of a good pelt is worth considerably more, The average length of the animals was about seven feet from tip to tip.

CONTRACT BEEN COMPLETED FOR
 BIG FIST FIGHT

HOBOKEN. N. J.. Feb. 10.-R- A formal contract was signed here today whereby Jack Dempsey wil, meet Jess Willard in a champion. ship fight at some later date. Neith CT the date nor locality has beeL decided upon at present. Tex Ric. ard, famous fight promoter and cat. tleman, who is promoting this match will select the time and place of the fight.
 This is the first fight in which Willard has appeared since his de. feat of Johnson on April 5, 1915, at Havana, Cuba. Dempsey had been endeavoring to obtain this fight fol some time but the big champion has made numerous excuses about post poning any appearance in the ring until many thot he would never fight again.
 That the contract was signed is due largely to the efforts of Tex Rickard. who has been working un- ceasingly for several months on the project. Rickard is also the man who promoted the Johnson-Jeffries bout at Reno, Nevada, at the time the grand old man of the ring made desperate effort to send the negro down to defeat.
 - Up until he met the negro cham. pion at Havana, Jess Willard was practically an unknown heavyweight fighter. His defeat of the black champion instantly made him fam ous and for the past few years he has been content to rest upon the laurels gained in that battle.
 The coming fight between Demp. sey and Willard will be eagerly awaited by fight fans turnout the United States, many of whom con tend that Dempsey will emerge the victor.

JOHNSON WANTS
 YANKEE TROOPS
 RETURNED HOME

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1l.-R-- Senator Hiram Johnson of California, speaking in the senate today, ad. vocated the immediate withdrawal of the American troops from Russian territory. In his speech. the sena. tor stated that he planned to intro. duce 2 resolution to that effect in the near future.
 He contended that the American troops were not rendering any bene. fit to the United States or any other country by their occupation of Rus. sian territory. He also argued that this occupation was not in compli. ance with the foreign policy of the United States. Some time ago Sen. ator Johnson declared himself as being strongly in favor of the with. drawal of Yankee soldiers from Rus. sia and 1t seems that he has
 launched determined battle to gain his end.
 This Is the second time that the Californian has expressed his opin. ion On this subject in an address before the United States senate. Some of the most prominent senators agree with him in his views. It is expected that he will introduce the resolution in the near future as he does not want any delay as to the withdrawal of the troops. No state ment has been made by the officials of the war department concerning the attack of Senator Johnson on the Russian policy.
