Mr. Heflin had written to the pres- ident saying some of his recent terances on the war apparently vl caused confusion over the issue with Germany. In restating his position the president again made it clear that the United State has no quarrel with the German people, but with an au- tocracy “which acts upon purposes to which the German people havp never consented.” i The letter follows: Dear Mr. Heflin: It is incomprehensible to me how any frank or honest person could doubt ‘or question my posi- tion with regard to the war and its objects. I have again and again stated the very serious and long-continued wrongs which the Imperial German government has perpetrated against the rights, the commerce, and the citizens of the United States. The list is long and overwhelming- No na- tion that respected itself or the rights of humanity could have borne those wrongs any longer. Our objects in going into the ‘war have been stated with equal clearness. The whole of the con- ception which I take to be the conception of our fellow-coun- trymen with regard to the out- come of the war and the terms of its settlement I set forth with the utmost explicitness in an address to the senate of the United States on the 22d of January last. Again in my message to congress on the 2d of April last those objects were stated in unmistakable - terms. I can concelve no purpose in seeking to becloud this .matter except the purpose of weaken- ing the hands of the government and making the part which the United States is to play in this great struggle for human liberty an inefficient and hesitating: part. ‘We have entered the war for our - own reasons and with our own ‘objects clearly stated, and shall forget neither the reasons nor thé objects. ‘There 1s no hate in our hearts for the German peop'le. but there is a 'resolve, Which % cannot be shaken even by “misrepresentation, 8 overcome thé pretemnsions of the autocratic government which acts upon purposes to which the Ger- man people have never consent- ed. Cordially yours, WOODROW WILSON. COURT MARTIAL SOLDIERS Privates Becker and Rhodes of Co. E May Be Sent to Federal Prison for Stealing Automobile. At the urgent request of Lieuten- ant .Ashley J. Grifin and Lieutenant Robert V- K. Harris, Jr., commanders of Company E, First Connecticut In- fantry, Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett this morning turned over to a provost guard Privates Fred Becker and Roes Rhodes, both charged with the theft of J. H. John- ston’s automobile on Monday night. The two soldiers, who broke guard at the armory to take the car, were ar- rested in Meriden. . Lieutenant Griffin assured the pros- ecuting attorney that the two soldiers will come up before a general court mal and a severe and extreme pen- alty will be imposed- It is not im- probable that the accused men may be sent to the federal military prison at Governors Island or Atlanta. Regi- mental officers state that an example will be made of these refractory sol- dfers. In order that the ends of justice may be met and the civil authorities may be satisfled, Prosecutor Klett is holding warrants for both Bécker and Rhodes and will prosecute in case the penalty imposed by military authori- ties is not deemed enough.

Lovers of music were treated to a musical feast last evening at & con- cert given by the choir of the Swed- ish Lutheran church. That the ef- forts of the director, Harold Sjoland. er, and the choir were appreciated, was shown by the large attendance. The director was assisted by Mrs. E. L. Anderson, contralto; August Klein, baritone; Herbert Anderson, violinist; Mies Alfrida Hellstrom, pianist; the Arpi Sextette and the Milo ' Octette. The rendition of Stubbe’s “Vandrings- lust” by the Arpi sextette made a de- clded impression on the audience. Another number on the program which pleased was “The Las’ Long Res,” sung by August Klein. Miss Hellstrom favored with several solos and piano selecuons among them be- ing Chop! “Polonaise in A flat” and the “Norwegian Bridal Proces- sion” The Milo octette should come in for a bit-of praise as their singing of “O, Lovely Night” and ‘Bedouin Song” was very well liked. To complete the program Herbert Anderson, a local violinist of repute, favored with selections on the violin. probably best among them being Kriesler's “Rondino” on a theme by Beethoven. The program was brought to a close with the singing of Grieg’s ver- sion of “Landsighting” sung by Mr Klein and the male chorus. In all the program was a pleasing onc and the singers had to respond to several ene cores throughout the evening.
