Three prisoners at the Portsmouth

selves back into the good graces of
the Navy by attempting to prevent

they were able to leave the naval
reservation.
Nathan Hopper, an apprentice sea-
man, who was serving a sentence of
six months. three of which he had
completed, and who was to be given
a bad conduct discharge upon the
completion of the sentence, has been
ordered released by Secretary Wilbur
and restored to duty Internationally
The other prisoners were serving sem
fences of three and six years on more
serious offenses and for their con-
duct in the affair have been recon-
mended for clemency to the naval
clemency board, which meets on
July g.
The three men were working with
three other prisoners in the prison
ice house under sentry when the
latter was overpOWered. The three
men who have been rewarded by the
Navy sought to prevent the escape
but were overpoWered and, together
with the sentry, were bound and lock-
ed in the ice house. They effected
their release, however, and gave the
alarm in sufficient time to permit the
apprehension of the escaping prison.

riding in the wake of the dIsas-

their carSoes are inadequate to meet
the needs of the stricken community.
Although every able bodied man

assist in relief, the number is not
sufficient to carry on the work. Con-
ditionS are aggravated by looters
who have made their appearance de-
spite the Gordon of military that has
been thrown about the district.
Large funera! pyres have been
built and bodies are cremated as
soon as identified identification.
however, in many cases is impoS-

145 were recovered, 81 of them in
Leon and its suburbs and the others
in the surrounding country, bringing
the total of those found to be about
