SALMON IS STILL.
HELD AT HOSPITAL
Order for Release of Hunger.
Striking Conscientious OBJ
jector Not Yet Received.

Although Secretary Of War Baker an
nounced last night that the tf1irty-three
conscientious ohjectofs to military sery-
ice who remain in confinement had been
ordered discharged. Benjamin j. Salmon,
the hunger-striking objector now at
walter Reed Hospital. was still being
held today and the officials there
said they had no official knowledge Of
any remittance of Salmon's sentence.
At the War Department no officials
could be found who would say whether
the orders for release of the prisoners
wouid go ont by mail or telegraph The
night said:
The cases of the thirty-three con-
scientfous objectors who remained in
CUSTODY some. weeks ago have now been
nnaliy reviewed by the Secretary Of
war on the recommendation of the ad-
3ufant generals Office. and the remainder
7oI sentences rendtted and the men dis
- Csnss1ered IN Merits.
Each case has been considered on
itE merits and the principle on which
they have been considered il to remit go
much OF the sentence as exceeds the
normal peaee-ti7nc penalty for the of.
fenses charged.
THE major part Of these men have
been in confinement for more than
two years. Those last discharged
were men who had refused to do any
sort OF work while in confinement. :
benjamin j. Salmon. whose case
has attracted some attention, was the
last case disposed of by reason of the
fact that legal proceedings instituted
in the civil courts have delayed con,
sideration OF his case
More than four months ago Salmon
started hunger strike while at st.
Elizabeth's Hospital and forcible feed
ing has been resorted to by physicians
in charge of him.. A few days ago he
was removed to Walter Reed Hospital
1t was sald there today that he was
physically able to leave any time or
ders came to discharge him - He has
twice appealed to President Wilson
against being forcib1y fed.

WIDE THANKSGIVING
DAY ORIGINATED HERE IN 1865

/. The committee was composed most
ly of New Englanders. prompted by
the fact that they had been in the
habit of setting apart a regular day
each year to give thanks to God. and
because they wished to see Presid ent
Lincoln's idea carried out. President
Lincoln had designated days for pray
er during the civil war.
The First Congregational Church
had just been organized. The first
regular pastor was the Rev. c. H.
Roynton. father of the late Gen.
Henry v. Boynton. the nestor of the
Washington press for years
The elder Boynton was mad e
chaplain of the House of Represent
ativcs soon after he was made pas
tor Of the LEGAL church and in his
first winter of service Congress-
granted him permission to hold re-
ligious services on the floor of the
House every Sunday. This is the
first and the last church which has
ever conducted it's regular, worshi D in
