IN recommending that the death SEN
tence OF Private Dvoratck be com
muted to life imprisonment for the
crime of killing Sergeant A. C. Bradley
on July 70, 1918, at Camp Dull Valda-
non, France, General Pershing said the
soldier was in an abnormal state of
mlnd, induced by dissipation extending
over considerable period of time. and
declared that "a better administration
OF the accused's organization would
nave resulted in his restraint at such d
time as would have prevented the
CRIME" The commander of the over
seas forces concluded his recommends
ton Tor life imprisonment by asserting
that while | do not consider drunken
ness legal defence, l hesitate in this
case to direct the execution Of the
death penalty upon a man whom I do
not believe to have been a murderer
when IN his normal state of mind"
Corporal Skiles was found guilty of
shooting to death with a pistol Ser
geant George J. onken at Trondes
France, August 10, 1918. While the
commanding officer, Major General W
r. Burnham, approved sentence of
hanging, General Pershing's recon-
mendation that it be commuted to life
Imprisonment was carried out by the
President.
The execution by hanging of Private
Jeremiah Reese was the verdict of a
court martial which tried the soldier at
Camp Dix and found him guilty of
wounding Second Lieutenant Austin
Wcedin with knife in the neck, on
September 13, 1918. The President re-
duced the extreme penalty to twenty
years Imprisonment.
Private Frank Rush was found guilty
Of being absent without leave from
Fort Leavenworth from September 90,
1918, to October 81, 1918. He was sem
fenced to be shot. Colonel Sedgwick
Rice, his commanding officer, noted in
approving the verdict. that the military
court failed to explain to the accused
the maximum penalty for the crime.
The President committed the sentence
to two years confinement.
The sentence of death by musketry
against Private Steiner, the conscien-
tious obiector who refused to obey a
command to clean up some refuse at
Fort Riley, Kansas, was reduced to
twenty-five years by Major General
Leonard Wood, and again reduced by
the President to fifteen years.

there IS serious opposition to it, he
ought at the same time to admit that
there is some real reason on the part
of New York City automobilsts to be
so opposed
One piece of automobile legislation
proposed would differentiate between
citizens and non-citizens when it comes
to getting chauffeur or owner-driver
licenses. The scale is TO be SIS for
chauffeurs and 81 for owners. when
citizens. Rates are to be SIS on
chauffeurs and $11 on owners. when
non-citizens. Renewals are always to
be at $40 for non-citizens
incidentally, the bar against enemy
aliens being permitted to take out anv
sort of driving license apparently still
stands. 1t probably Will until peace is
declared. Another reason for some
hyphenates to hope the signatures are
inscribed soon.
A grand warfare is now on between
the New York State Automobile Asso-
grafton and the New York State Motor
Federation to see which can grab the
credit for all the Objectionable motor
vehicle legislation that is killed. Rival

GREAT YEAR

From all indications it k beginning to dawn on thc folks of Alaska that the year lJlg is going Co be big year in the history of the Territory Already the boats leaving thc South are crowded with folks who are coming North to aid in the upbuildmg oi the industries of the country
 Naska-thc very name brings before the eyes of the world a great mcNplored em- pirc and couimcs up visions of wealth and bomdlcss opportunities. To the soldier it means the land of the last frontier and a chance to try out his new feeling of self reliance acquired from splendid physical health and test his training as a rough and ready fellow used to outdoor life.
 There is room and opportunities for many aud we hope that all their dreams come truc-that Alaska is all they expected it to be and that the infusion of so many fine young citizens will bring new life to tagging industries and herald a new era of prosperity to the Golden North.

ANXIOUS WIFE.

Ha! SO you are having trouble. Shake. Well. to the best Of my be- lief, the alleged" Gin cans are made of a new kind of. sheet iron that is the cans I have tried to open.
 The best way to open one of these alleged tin cans Is Co take it to the basement. if you have one, or else outside of the house some place. Put the alleged tim can on the floor; take the ax and go to it; chop, cuss, chop. cuss. chop. then a couple Of cusses. IT by this time the can re- fuses to reply to the operation, put the can on the floor, take a 8lcdge hammer and beat the can around the basement or the vacant lot Let the can hit any and everything and perhaps it will spring a leak lf a leak is sprung, then perhaps you can put a wedge in and perhaps your efforts are awarded. If this op- eration is not successful, just cuss.
 If the can is a milk can, place the can on chopping block. summon aid. Have the aid hold the sharpest- pointed augur you have upon the top Of the milk can. Then hit the top Of the auger with sledge ham, mer. You might be able to make a hole through which the milk will flow
 1T you can not make an impress sion. save the can, and when the kicking husband comes homo, bean him, and no jury will find you guilty.
 Oh. yes-beforc you start on any of the above operations send the children away from home, fl you have children. Tell the hddica to go to the neighbor living the great est number of blocks from your house. Tell them Co get a left-hand- cd monkey wrench or anything. When they return, it should be safe for you have either opened the can or you are 30 exhausted with efforts that you have no further life in your body to create a disturbance and use naughty. naughty language, which should not be spoken in the presence Of children.
 By the way, tho editor forgot to mention that a gas mask should al- ways be worn in Alaska when open ing cans.-Seward Gateway
