Along a battlefront six miles in length the Germans had massed a force of 800,000 men and added 100 bat- teries. of artillery to the force. An ‘example ‘was made of ‘four United States soldiers in the United States Court when Judge 'Robert W...Jennings sentenced them - to fifteen months in jail on their pleas of guilty to indictrents charging the sale of liquor to In- dians. Information was that the soldiers had broken the law in or~ der to avoid serving out their term in the army. Mrs. H. S.
