Camp Meade. Nd, Feb. S.-The sem
tence of soldier to ten years conflne-
ment at hard labor for disobedience has
been cut down to one year by the re-
viewing authority at this cantonment.
Private Frank Hertz. of Company L,

as well as the unfortunate lad. He was
arraigned for failing to roll his pack
and fall in with company for a hike"
when ordered to do so by Captain James
Cary Thompson. his superior officer, and
with failing to appear at the fixed time
for drill. The court sentenced him to
be dishonorably discharged. to forfeit all
pay and allowances due or to become
due, in addition TO tho ten years.
In reducing the sentence. the review
ing authority called attention to the fact
in the published record that he regarded
it as excessive. and he named the United
States disciplinary barracks ut Fort
Jay, n. Y. as the place OF confinement
for Hertz for, one year. After the lad
serves his term he will be dshonorably
discharged, however. .. N.
The rehabilitation of what is left Of
the Lafayette Division was resumed this
morning, and the task Of returning all
of these men back to civil life will be
completed in tho next few days IL the
present pace continues. Several hun
dred men went out this morning with
their honorable discharge certificates in
their pockets and more will go tomor-
row. Before the end of the week. how
, ever. II is expected that thousands OF
men from overseas will begin streaming
into the big wooden city to spend their
last days as soldiers. They. too, will be
mustered out at rapid rate.
