SOUNDS QUITE DUTCHY.

That sounds just like bull-headed
supporter of the ex-kaiser. Christian
Donhauser, young German aviator,
claims the distinction of having killed
Lieut. Quenton Roosevelt, in an air
battle near Chameray. And that is
not all; he announces that he plans
visiting the United States and even
tually becoming naturalized and en-
tering the U. S. military service as
an aviator. He is described as an
understood fellow, weight less than
100 pounds and wears an iron cross,
presumably for his feat of putting out
of he war one of our brave young
aviators. Somebody should suggest
to the young guy that there are no
iron crosses in this country and
should he ever come over and make
himself known, the cross he would
bear here would not be one to his lik-
ing.-Richland Democrat.

HOUSE DEFICIENCY BILL IS PASSED BY

 100000 Deficiency
 Appropriations
By Associated Press

 Washington, February 1O.-Thc
 House hill providing for a reduction
 of *15,OOO,OOO,0OO in war apprOpria-
 atiOns and contract authorizations
 and making dchciency appropria-
 tiOns of S205, 100000 was passed
 tOda ,by the Senate without n rec
 ord vote. It now goes to confer
 ence.
 With the exception of approx imately Sl1 GOO 900, the total appropriations car- ried in the bill for the army and navy. The measure repeals appropria- tions for the war and navy departments amounting to s7,119.l5 900 and cancels authorizations of sS,22l ,0ea.200. which officials of the two departments have said would not be needed
 The Senate in it's brief discussion of the bill paid scant attention to the appropriations and savings, most of the debate centering on the House pro- vision for a gratuity of s7500 to the widow of the late Representative Meek CT of Missouri.
 An amendment by Senator Robinson of Kansas to give the children of Mir. Meeker. by a former marriage, the gratuity, was adopted but later the Senate reversed it's action Senator Spenser of Missouri declared that the Missouri representative had left $s:, 7 600 life insurance, $20,000 of which was for his four minor children. Sena- tor Underw ood of Alab anna supporting the House bill in giving the amount to the widow, who was married to Mir Meeker few hours before he died, told the Senate that in his opinion no mem Der of Congress has died more heroic ally. MT. Meeker. he said, contracted Spanish influenza while caring for sol- diers sick with that disease in >canton- ments near St. Louis.

MEN SENTENCEDbY C0URT-MART|AL ID
 GET REDUCTIONS Revision of Sentence to Be Made by Board of Off, cers, Secretary Baker
 Announces
sy Associated Pros.

Washington, FeDruary 10.-Re-
 vision of sentences imposed by gem
 eral courts-martiaI for onenses
 made by a board of officers consti-
 tuted in the office of the judge ad-
 vocatc general of the army. Sec
 retary Baker announced today that
 the result would be "a substantial
 reduction of the sentences in nearly ' nH eases snve those of the s-rrvest
 character or where aggravated cir
 cumstances exist.
 The exact number of military pris- oners held at home and overseas. who might be affected, was not made known, but MT Baker recently informed the Senate that 22,000 trials by general courts martial had been held since the beginning of hestilities. Approxima te- Ivy S50,000 other cases were heard. but as the charges were not of a serious nature the trials were by special or summary courts.
 "The cessation of hostilities and the return to conditions approximating 2 those of peace," said MT. Bakers state ment render it just and proper that clemency be exercised towards prison CTS convicted by general courts martial for offenses committed since the begin ming of the present war.
 With this end in view board con- sisting of officers of experience in civil as well as military life has been con- stituted in the, judge advocates office to examine the records of these pris- oners and enable the judge advocate general to recommend to the Secretary of War reduction of sentences as the facts and dictates of justice in each case may warrant. The commandants of the barracks have been instructed to forward promptly to the judge advocate general their recommendations as to each prisoner.
 Such action will effect a speedy re- vision of sentences to meet the changed conditions and will u.squestionably re- suit in substantial reduction of the sentence in nearly all cases save those of the gravest character or where az grayated circumstances. exist"
