or such terms as twenty and thirty
years are reduced to minimum of
months by a plan. permitted under army
regulations, which has been introduced
into the disciplinary barracks at Gov

John e. Hunt. The plan involves a far.
reaching scheme by which the soldier.

and educationally to take up the battle
of life.
There are between six hundred and

one life term and several of twenty

one of the principal features Of the
rehabilitation scheme introduced into

many citizens were fighting the is
sue for the alleged reason that MIR.
Wilson's trips TO France were cost
ing the government enormous sums
of money.
The report above referred TO has
resulted in an Investigation being
made, with the result that no basis
for the story was found, and no Op.

found to exist here.
The citizens of ArdmOre have
priGd themselves that this city

top in all the recent bond and war
activities drives, and this in face
Of the almost complete crop failure
in this section Of the state last
fall. They feel there is NOT more
loyal community in The United
States than exists here, and that
no section Of the country has been
quicker in responding with both

war
That an investigation of the re-
port of disloNalty has proved it
was unbiased in fact is therefore
particularly gratifying, and it is
