(Ry The Associated Pressl

PARIS, Jan. "a (Havas Agency
Captain Matthew, who, after trial
before three former French premiers
last year, was sentenced TO serve
three months in prison for having di-
vulged government secrets, has been
reinstated to his former position by
a special court appointed by The
chamber of deputies. The sentence
was suspended for a time when it was
pronounced in May, 1918.
Captain Matthews trial created
much interest in Paris, where il was
described as an outgrowth of the Bon
net Rouge affair. Captain Matthew
and Sergeant Pai-Seailles were charg-
ed with having given important mill
tary information to unauthorized
persons. The information consisted
of copy of report sent by General
Sarrail to the French government
concerning the situation in Saloniki
and asking for reinforcements.

In the case Of Englebert Preis, m

The ruling was made in an opinion

and advocates the overthrow by force
or violence of the government Of the

In re Englebert Preis:

language of the act applicable to this

1t will be observed that belief in,
