to the German questioners as it had al
ready been proven that Private Perl
mutter spoke German fuent1y. General
Crowder was further of the opinion that
an element of doubt existed inasmuch as
the American officer did not see Perl
mutter on the occasion that he was al
legged to have given the information to
the enemy. Congressman Siegel became
interested in Private Perlmutter's case
when the latter returned to this country
on his way to Fort Leavenworth.
In October the announcement was
made at Washington that on the recon-
mendation of the Clemency Section of
the Judge Advocate Generals Depart
ment the twerity-year sentence had been
reduced to five years pending re-ex-
animation. The decision of Secretary
Baker RENTS the entire sentence.
The New York Times gives the fol-
lowing detailed account of the evidence:
ANOTHER DREYFUs cASE7
An effort has been made to draw
comparison between the case of Private
Lawrence Peh1mutter, which bids fair
W DCCOIIlC IuC 1uOSL HOtCu COuIC
case of the American Expeditionary
Force and the famous Dreyfus case.
But beyond the facts that Per1mutter is
Jew and that he is under conviction
of charge that brands him as traitor,
there is no similarity of circumstances.
Looking at the case with the eye of
the dramatist, four chief scenes present
themselves:
First scene: The night of April 49,
1913, near Rouvroi, when Captain Will
liam Fl. Gordon, Medical Corps, Ninth
Infantry, and small body of men with
him at the Advance Dressing Station,
near the front trenches were cap
tured by the Germans. One of these
was Lawrence Per1mutter, who, in 1917,
at the age of 10, had left his home at 16
East Eleventh Street, New York City,
and had enlisted in the Medical Corps.
Second scene: A few days later, at
small railroad station inside the German
lines; in one room Captain Gordon lying

on bed listening; in an adjoining room,
separated by a wooden partition, Perl
mutter being questioned by German of
ficer for information about the Ameri-
can forces.
Third scene: The court-martia1 at the
headquarters of the I'd Division, Ger
many, eleven minutes later. Five wit
nesses follow each other on the stand.
The important ones are Captain Gordon
and Private Perfmutter., Gordon swears
that he overheard Per1mutter give in
formation to the enemy, classified in the
charges under fifteen heads, and de-
scribes in detail answers he alleges Perl
mutter made to the German officer.
Perlmutter denies the allegations.
On Gordon's testimony, the verdict is
guilty.
Fourth scene: Congressman Siegeps
interview with Per1mutter at the door of
prison cell at Governors Island, New
York City, the beginning of fight for
a reversal of.the. verdict. Mr. Siegel, as
the result of investigation started here,
asserts that at the court-martia1 the re-
quirement of the Constitution that two
witnesses be required for conviction on
charges of treason was violated in that
in this case Gordon's testimony alone
bore on the charge; that Gordon, Jew,
who had forsaken the Jewish faith to be-
come a Unitarian, was prejudiced against
Jews; that he bore Per1mutter i11-will in
particular because the latter had inter-
posed in behalf of some comrades; that
for about eleven months after the alleged
occurrence neither Per1mutter nor any
one else, so far as divulged, knew that
such charges were to be brought.

timony:

The Interesting Case of Laurence PerLnutter
Said Be On FoursW

New York.-A twenty-year sentence
imposed some time ago upon Private
Lawrence Per1mutter of this city, only
member of the American Expeditionary
Forces convicted of treason, has just
been remitted by Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker Mr.. Baker acted on the
recommendation of Judge Advocate
General Crowder. Word of Secretary
Bakers decision has been received by
Congressman Isaac Siege1, who has in
terested himself in the young soldiers
case.
Private Perlmutter was member of
the Medical Department, 9th Infantry
I'd Division. He was convicted by court
martial in Coblenz of having furnished
military information to the Germans
while he was prisoner of war. His
conviction took place when he joined
the American army after the signing of
the armistice and general headquarters
approved the sentence then imposed.
The only witness against Private Perl
mutter was Captain William Fl. Gordon.
Two witnesses are needed to convict an
American soldier of treason, it is point
with Captain Gordon April IA, 1918. The
former declared at his hearing that at
the time of his capture he had been in
the sector only ten days and had no
knowledge of the location of the various
units of his regiment. Captain Gordon
charged that while he was lying in cot
he had overheard through a wall the
Germans ask questions of Private Perl
mutter regarding the location of Ameri-
can units and that he had heard the an
swers given by the private.
In the approval of General Crowder's
report, evidence of hostility toward Pri-
vate Perlmutter by his fellow prisoners,
noted by General Crowder, was taken
into consideration. 1t was further
noted that according to the evidence, the
between Private Per1mutter
and his German questioners was in Eng
lish. General Crowder's opinion was
that it was inherently improbable that

blotters for d year than the entire city of London. Previous to her work Ut St. Ambrose. Miss F'reeland was act i've in social service at the St. George mission
 She does not regard Americanization as a new work, although it is still much misunderstood. In reciting her >expe- riences in the small district in New York where more than 1000 Italians are housed she laid special stress on two points in the clubs established there.
 We insist upon all clubs being con ducted in English. If they desire to cherish a heritage of the past, they can do so in their own homes. but we impress them with the fact that they belong to an American club and must do things like Americans. The second point we make is that Americans are not spongers We make them pay dues. Before our coming there, the guests were bribed, with parties and presents. to attend the club. but we discouraged the something for nothing habit and demanded a fee of cents 9 month We offered to pay the dues if the member could not afford it."

Friend ship. too. has its power in the district, she claimed. as she pointed out how, with a word to judge, she had saved one of "her boys" from the reformatory which she called a school for a crim inai

CAVALRY TROOP
 IF ARIZONA N. |.
 ASSURED IN CITY
After First Meeting Re mains For Only 15 Men More-Must Send In Ap- plications At Once

A cavalry troop Of the Arizona na- tlonal guard is assured for Phoenix
 There is still an opportunity for men to join the troop before it's final or ganization, providing they take speedy action.
 These two facts were the outstand- ing features of the preliminary organi- zation meeting for the cavalry troop at The city hall last night when 5S men turned out and declared they wanted 10 become members of the Phoenix na- tional guard unit. The hearty re- sponse given at the meeting made cer- tain the organization of the troop here.
 While 5S men are already applicants TOT membership in the cavalry troop. the troop will muster 73 men. Thus openings are left for 15 men among the many in the city who want to get in vet who were unlucky enough as to be unable to attend last nights meeting.
 Men who desire to be among the lucky 15 to yet join the troop may file their applications, it was announced last night, by mailing their names and addresses to The Republican, where they will be passed on to the proper hands.
 Send In Applications At Once
 It was emphasized last night that names and addresses of applicants for the troop must be mailed in at once however. as only 15 vacancies exist and the applications will be taken up
 
 Applicants will be notified by mail from the adjutant generals office of the time for the next organization meeting for the troop. Final organiza- ton. together with the election of of ficers, will be effected after the full quota of men has been obtained.
 Full equipment for the troop and it's mounts will be furnished by the gov ernment, and men who join the Phoe- nix horsemen will not be required to furnish anything. The government will also furnish the troop B horses for permanent training use, enough mounts to permit the men to drill mounted a platoon at a time. Tn case of actual service. of course, mounts for the entire troop are furnished.
 The Phoenix troop, when organized, will drill one time each week. Pay in ordinary times is s6 a, month for pri- yates The captain will receive $500 a year, the first lieutenant S240, the sec ond lieutenant $200. In case of emer- geucy if called into service, the troop will be paid on the regular army scale.

MANY CASES REQUIRE U. $. COURT ID OPEN HERE IN FEBRUARY

That there will be a February term of the U- s. district court at Phoenix was the announcement made yester- day by J. M. Holub, assistant U. $. attorney, who stated that Judge David J. Dyer of the eastern district of Missouri, would preside.
 Judge Dyer will time his arrival from St. Louis in order to open court here on February g. Among the impor- tant cases to be tried during the term will be that of A. J. Peters. prominent hay merchant of Tempe. who is charged with conspiracy to defraud the government. There are five charges against the wealthy southside resident, all of which have to do with the sale Of hay to the government dur ing the war. It is alleged by the gov ernment that the hay was represented as belonging to one class, when it was hay of lower grade There are q number of defendants named in complaints, among whom is J. A. Jag gers. former hay inspector. It is be- lieved that these cases will require many days for the taking of evidence.
 The Missouri judge will take up many cases now pending here at pres ent, and after a brief term in Prescott will return to Phoenix. While the winter term of court will relieve the crowded condition of the court calen- dar. it will nevertheless be necessary to hold an April term, according to Holub, who said there was fully six months court work here alone MT Holub left last evening for Tucson to finish a number of Tucson and Globe cases. He does not expect to return to Phoenix before court con Venes in February
 It was hoped by having Judge Neterer from Seattle, here in the autumn that it would be unnecessary to hold another term of court until April, but although the Seattle 1urist dispatched large amount of business the cases pending. coupled with those that were continued, have congested the calendar. Judge Sawtelle has not the time to sit in the winter term having an unusually heavy calendar in Tucson and Globe

WHERE THE RIVER
 SHANNON FLOWS

The Del. $. Lawrence company on their return will present the we'll known Irish play Where the River shannon Flows. This is the play that was used for several seasons by the well known Irish comedian Chauncey Olcott
 While the scenes are laid in America the characters are of the type that are found in the political world in New York city. The leading character is that of an Irish lad who comes to this country to earn his livelihood and in so doing becomes rich and influential. Tn the course of the play he is ap- pointed guardian of a little Irish girl whom he has never seen and who is the daughter of his former sweetheart he had left in Ireland.
 The many comedy situations and dramatic episodes that arise from this story is one to make up one of the most entertaining plays of the season. Where the River Shannon Flows will give Miss Steck one of the best opportunities to show her ability in the role of the Irish girl. that she has had since she has been here. Miss Steck is noted for her impersonations of the Irish characters and in this she excells.
 The cast is a large one and several musical numbers will be introduced in' the action of the play.

GET ALIENS TRUST
 AND HE WILL MAKE
 4 BETTER CITIZEN

Aliens come to this country wantin g 10 be Americans, and will become good citizens if not disgusted with the Americanization attitude which meets them, according to Miss Louise Free land, social settlement worker of New York who made informal talk on Anericanization before the members of the civics education department of the Woman's club yesterday. Miss Freeland declared that the Americans must learn to recognize that the alien has something to give this country, that we have q gift to receive as well as one to give.
 The big mistake that is made is the way the stranger is met, said the sneaker as she cited the fact that all too many Americans gave the impress sion that the alien was not wanted. showed no friendliness, and emphasized inc differences between himself and Inc American
 .sYet we expect the alien to be a good citizen, 10 love America, when they get nothing but discourtesy and rudeness. They are sensitive as children and are afraid of being laughed at. and that is what the work CTS must learn If they hope to have results Meet them in the spirit of appreciation-meet them on common ground" urged the speaker. The poor and lowly have to put up with a good deal of impudence.v continued Miss r-reeIand, as she pointed out the man 1er which certain people adopt toward the allen.
