"WASHINGTON, Juno 1!). In
granting unconditional pardon to two
young soldiers sentenced to death for
having slopt on lxmt ut the front,
President Wilson expected his action
to act "aa a challenge to devoted sor
Vico for tho futuro." ThCgtoxt of hiB
ordor, Identical in both cases, and
made public today, says:
"In vlow of tho youth of tho pri
vates (Korost D. Sobastlnn and Jeff
Cook) and tho fact that their offense
Reomed to have been wholly free from
disloyalty or conscious disregard T
their duty, I hereby grant them a full
and unconditional pardon nnd direct J
that thoy report to their company for
further mllltury duty.
"Tho needs of riiscipliuo in the
army with propriety impose grave
penalties on Hi oho who Imperil their
fellows, and who endanger their
country's cause by lack oC vlgllanco
or by Infractions of rules In which
safety has been found to rest. I am
persuaded, howovor, that these young
men will tnko tho restored opportun
ity of their forfeited lives as a chal
lenge to devoted service for tho fu
ture and that tho soldiers of tho army
of tho United States in Franco will
realize, too keenly tho high character
of the causo for which they aro fight
Ing nnd tho contidenco which their
country Imposes in them to permit
the possibility of further danger from
any similar shortcomings.
Tho rehearsals of Mikado which
performance takes place in tho Phoe-

n movement on foot to organize the

a permanent organization for the
purpose of giving a grand musical
festival once each year during the

contemplated to Include presentation
of opera, oratorio and dramatic per

TRAINING SOUTH AMERICA.
A PARTS clisjintfli quotes
- paper 1 Jloiimm Libre
ecl from WasluiiKioii assert Hint a plan is under way lor
training troops of South American republics in the United
States.'
The splendid organization and magnificent results o(
the American svstem are apparent to tlie allies anu mur-fi
quicker results can be obtained from training Brazilians
and other South American recruits here, with the, Ameri
can machinery already perfected, than could be secured if
those countries attempted to create the training camps
themselves.
It is a comparatively simple matter to add to existing
cantonments or to build new ones, il necessary, with the
experienced contractors and their equipment available.
Another advantage is the concentration here of allied
instructors. Speed is the essence of winning the war, and
in no other way can the man-power of South America be
made so quickly available.
Moreover the training of tens of thousands of South
Americans in the United States would familiarize the va
rious nationalities with each other, their methods and
ways, produce a better mutual understanding and promote
firmer friendship among the peoples.
The people of Latin-America are favorable to the allies
though some of the governments are not, because Ger
man influence is being exerted in favor of the maintain
ence of neutrality in those countries which have not al
ready broken off diplomatic relations with the Hun. Ger
man agents, amply supplied with funds, used witliouistint
or scruple, -are constantly busy among the unscrupulous
politicians.
The most potent, agent of the kaiser in South America
is the German Trans-Atlantic Hank, of Berlin, with
branches in Spain and in all Latin countries, with hun
dreds of millions deposits. Its initials, B. A. T. (Banca
41 MV a J J 1 , i
Aiemaii irans-Aiianiicj nave given it tlie name, among
allied residents, oi I5at, and like a huge vampire with its
wings spread over the continent, it is sucking the life Mood
of the people for tlie benefit of its junker owners.
Through this bank the spies and other agents of Ger
many aro paid, credits for them transferred from one
country to another, communication kept up between them
in all parts of tlie continent and even the work of taking
up German bond issues promoted. It has managed to get
the fortunes of native Latin-Americans bound up inits af
fairs causing them to be directly interested in the main
tenance of neutrality so as to prevent governmental action
against it.
The common people of South America are against the
Germans, because of sad experiences with Germans.
Wherever the German becomes task-master, he is a slave
driver, and while employers favor German foremen, be
cause of their slave driving, the people hate them and fear
German domination. Wherever the German has secured
concessions, Prussian methods have been employed and
the natives enslaved. The average South American has
found it easier to make a living and to enjoy independence
than is the case anywhere else in the world. This is due
chiefly to the large excess of land and resources over the
demands of tin- population, to the relative freedom from
the rigors ol climate in some
the absence ol vast. industrial establishments with their
attending congestion and social inequalities. One reason
lor the frequency of revolutions is in the fact that there
is no constant economic pressure upon the people to sub
due their spirit and render them more tractable.
It is only a question of
tlie people ol Sotilli America, to have evcfy nation at war
with the kaiser, and with their vouth bcinir trained in the
United States and fighting side by side with the allies, the
democracies of the world will be united social! y as well as
politically and an era ot better
out the globe.

vels are being preformed hy the sur
geons attached to the various entente
armies. By exercising their skill they
have restored to the fighting strength
of tho allied nations each year since
the .beginning of the war, a whole
division ot men who In other wars
would have died ot their wounds or
would have been crippled for life.
Tho recent gigantic: battle, aa the
result of which more wounded men
than ever before have received sur
gical treatment within a short space
of time, have remonstrated the im
mense strides made, not only In sur
gery, hut in tho methods or remov
ing tho wounded from the battle field
and transporting them to hospitals.
So effoctive Is the cooperation be
tween surgeons and physicians at the
front and those at the hospitals In
the rear that an Immensely large pro
portion of the wounded recover than
otherwise was tlie case at the begin
ning of the war.
Men whose legs or arms have been
fractured by shell, now are restored
to their regiments in a minimum of
time. This Is due mostly to the fact
that they receive prompt treatment
and surgical attention which prevents
blood-poisoning and the stiffening of
articulation. Their recovery Is rapid
in the hospitals, behind tho lines
where they can be treated, under com
fortable conditions far from the nerve
wreoklng sound of guns.
Soldiers have been Inspires with
confidence In the army surgeons in
tho, great battles around Verdun, and
lit tho great German otfensiv
which began In March.
Promptness in tho treatment of
woundod men has been obtained by
segregating them In classes accord
ing to the nature of their wounds.
This was not generally done at the
beginning of tho war. Tho plan
then in1 vogue was to erect large
hospitals as near the fighting lines
as possible, say ton or twelvo miles
from the front, and to send all clas
ses there for treatment. When the
battles occured those hospitals wore
over crowded and owing to the de-
luy In operating there were many
cases of gangrene, tetanus and oth
er infections that resulted fatally.

ka's great volcano. Mount Katmia,
called the "Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes", Is to be visited this year
by two explorers sent north in the
interest of the 'National Geographic
Society, the organization that last
year sent 'Professor Robert Griggs, of
tho Ohio State college to make the
first exploration of the mountain.
The two men going north this year
are Jasper D. Sayer and Paul K. Ilag
olbrager. They are also from tho
Ohio Slate college and, It is believed
here, were recommended by Professor
Groggs. It is thought at the Univer
sity of Washington hero that Profes
sor Greggs would have returned
the mountain tills year, but did not
do so because lie could not get back
In time for the opening of tho rail
semester at college.
Sayro and 'llagolbarger will attempt
to roach the crest from an opposite
direction from that taken by Profes
sor Greggs and his party. The two
left here recently for the north and
probably will spend tho entire sum
mer studying the mountain.
Kntmnl is the greatest crater on
the fact of the globe, according to
Professor Greggs. It is over nine
inllos in circumference nnd 3000 feet
deep. It hurst forth in 1912 nnd
sent out tire and ashes that fell on
an averago depth ot ten feet for a
radius of 100 miles. It Is said there
was an appreciable fall ot ashes as

scientists claimed they round kiitmai
