TWO DESERTERS
GET 20 YEARS
Americans Go Ahead of Army
and Don German
Uniforms

Coblcnz, May 3.-Two American
soldiers who went ahead of the
Army of Occupation during its
march across Rhenish Prussia last
December, donned German army
uniforms and had a series of thrill
ling adventures, after court mar
tial recently were sentenced to
twenty years at hard labor. The
men, both privates, were charged
with desertion in addition to eight
other offenses connected with their
run away trip.
According to the testim ony
brought out at the court martial,
both men broke a little German and
after going ahead of the advancing
troops fell in with a number of Ger
man soldiers, also deserters. The
Germans had stored a lot of food,
wearing apparel and other articles
of value and. witnesses said, induced
the Americans to assist the Germans
lin rescuing the stolen property from
a cache.
The two privates. Frederick Rich
man and Frank Richards, probably
were the first Americans to enter
Coblenz, as they were more than a
Third Army in its march toward the
Rhine. 1t was in a suburb of Cob

their booty-in the basement of n
German woman's house. In some
way the CoblenZ police heard of the
thefts and for several days and
nights had guards watching for the

Hot baths mean the consumption of
more coal and require more work

ADVANTAGES OF FARM MULE
Than Horse-Aiso Less Subject
to Digestive Disorders.

The mule has certain decided adj
vantages as a work animal. For the
man who does not know how or Is I'm
willing to give his horses reason
able amount of care, the mule is the
better animal, because he will take
better care of himself than will the
horse.
The mule is naturally more able to
stand hot weather than is the horse.
He will slow down when the work be-
comes hard anG the weather hot,
whereas a horse will begin to fret,
and thus will he even more likely to
become overheated. Hence, a mule is
safer in the hands of a careless or in
competent driver.
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more roughage
than will a workhorse doing the same
amount of work. The mule is less
subject to digestive disorders.
