CONTINUE HEARINGS
Army Board Will Hear All Cases of
 Soldiers Being Held in United States
 Government Prisons.

Leavenworth, Ka.s.. Feb. 27.--En- couraged by the prospect of carly free dom, the remaining forty of 22S mili- tary prisoners in the federal peniten- tiary here were called today before the special clemency board appointed by the war department to review their cases.
 Major James Stanstield and Major F. k. Ross members of the board, planned to complete hearings at the prison today and to resume them to- morrow at the United States disciplin- ary barracks at Fort Leavenworth.
 Recent appointment of the clemen- cy board offered the first ray of hope for imprisoned soldiers generally since the visit of Colonel Julius A. Penn of the judge advocate generals depart ment to the penitentiary here in De- tober, 1921. At that time Colonel Penn addressed the 566 military prisoners and granted interviews to those re- questing them. Nearly one hundred paroles and reductions of sentences followed.
 Of the military prisoners now in the local prison, siAty-eight served overseas and t75 were convicted by court martial in time of war. All were enlisted men, with the exception of a captain, fire lieutenant and a second lieutenant. Originally 1l6 were serving life terms. but the number has been reduced to S4 by communications of sentence and otherwise.
