Your telegram asking favorable
consideration Of the new project for
the Improvement Of the Okawaha
bill was being considered by the con
ference committee of the two houses
The house conferees were unable to
assent to the Inclusion Of this new
project in the pending bill They
were actuated by number of rea-
sons and primarily because Of the
small volume Of commerce now being
carried on the river, amounting dur
ing 1917, according to the last annual
report of the chief of engineers, to
only 1000 tons However, the con.
ferees did reach an agreement ap
proppriatng $95,0G0 which it is
estimated will not complete the ex.
sting project
I have discussed TINS matter with
Hon Charles A. Kennedy. the pres
ent ranking minority member Of the
committee, and who will in all prob
ability succeed me as chairman Of
the committee in the next congress.

estimated cost Of the new project
for the OklaWaha river was $7a5.oGA
ana at present prices the cost would

was obvious to us that neither the

which would be promoted would JUS
tify 50 large an expenditure.
"9Iay We offer some advice to The
sections tributary to tins river. The
existing project provides for SIX feet
from the mouth OF the river - the
SILVER Springs run. and thence four
feet up to Leesburg This depth
would enable the tributary sections
to develop a large commerce There
are number OF rivers in the country
having a minimum depth of four feet

to the people Of Florida who are in
terested in the improvement Of this
river to demonstrate its value as an
instrumentality of commerce"

AN EXCEPTION.

We relate the following incident,
not because it is illustrative of a con-
dition, but because it is an exception
to a rule:
An army captain, in civilian cloth
ing, sat at a table in the dining car
of a train a short distance from Bill
ings several evenings ago. A dough-
boy-just an ordinary doughboy,
wearing the usual ill-fitting issue I'M
iform-entered the diner, seated him
self across the table from the mar
in civilian clothes and grinned the US
ual doughboy grin Of good humor and
frinedliness. The lines of the officers
face stiffened ~forbiddingly; he aimed
at the private the blank, unwavering
gaze of the military martinez; his
words, audible in every corner of the
car, issued with the level information
of a ba%rrack-room command:
"You are sitting with an officer.
You will remove yourself to some 9TH
err table at once"
Surprise froze the grin on the
doughboy's face for an instant. Then
there was nc expression at all on
that face except the one Of pain and
growing humiliation in the eyes. The
doughboy arose to rigid attention; his
hand snapped to a perfect salute.
Every we'll, sir" he said quietly, and
turned to an unoccupied table.
There was a certain dignity about
it all. But the doughboy sitting alone
at his corner table, had a monopoly
on it.
Probably the doughboy, sitting there
with moody gaze directed through the
window, felt very alone, very aban-
doned, very disconsolate. He need not
have felt so. With him was the SYM
pathy and the comradeship of the
whole cal. 1t was the snug, AFRO
CANT officer in civilian clothes who
should have felt alone. HE could lay
claim to nothing but contempt.
On the sleeve of the doughboy were
two golden chevrons. The civilian
diners were willing to wager that the
officers uniform, had he worn it,
would have displayed no similar in
sigma.
For no officer who has served in
France, who has known and responded
to the devotion of the private soldier,

IANkS PARDONED MAKE

"oo' w "a l LIEF lLl4tb
Washington, August 21.-One of the
two American soldiers sentenced to
death for sleeping ON outpost duty in
France, and subsequently pardoned by
President Wilson, was killed in the
great Aisne offensive in july, 1918,
and the other was twice wounded and
finally discharged. This was disclos-
ed today by al exchange of correspon-
dence between Secretary Baker and
President Wilson.
Private Forest d. Sebastian of Ell
Dorado, ILL.,, 20 years old, was killed
in the Aisne battle. Private Jeff Cook
of Lutte, Okla, aged 10, was wound
ed in the same battle, but recovered
to again fight CALAMITY in the Ar
come offensive, where he received his
second wound.
In writing the president of the gal
liant conduct of the boys after the
president had pardoned them, Secre-
tary Baker said:
"You will recall that early in 1918
four death sentences were presented
to you from France. Two for dis
obedience of orders you RENTED to
terms of Imprisonment, and two young
boys, Sebastian and Cook, who were
convicted of sleeping on outpost duty,
you fully pardoned.
"It will interest you to know that
upon restoration to duty both made
good soldiers. Sebastian died in bat
tie in the Aisne offensive in July,
1918. Cook was wounded in that bat
tie and restored to health in time to
fight in the Meuse-Argonne battle,
when he again fought CALAMITY and
was the second time wounded. He
has been now restored to health
through medical attention and has
been %honorably discharged from the
service"
President Wilson in acknowledging
the secretary's letter wrote:
"Thank you for your thoughtful
ness in telling me about the records
made by Sebastian and Cook, the two
youngsters who were pardoned for
sleeping on outpost duty. 1t is very
delightful to know that they redeemed
themselves so thoroughly, and it was
very thoughtful Of you to give me the
pleasure of learning about it."
