DAUGHERTY REVIEWS THE RELEASE OF DEBS Washington, Dec. 0.—Eugene V. Debs, the socialist leader, was grasted his free- dom from Atlanta federzi penitentiary on Christmas by President Harding saleiy as “an act of grace;” his violation of the war laws remain unforgiven by the gov- ernment. This was disclosed tonight by Attorney General Daugherty, who made public the text of his recommendations to the president in the Debs. case. “It wiil be observed,” Mr. Daugherty said, “that a pardon was not granted Debs. but that his sentence was com- muted. The action of the president in nowise condones the offense and the re- lease was solely an act of grace. The gratitude of Debs will be measured by his conduct in the future.” The administration’s theory of action in the Debs case, according -to Mr Daugherty, is to be considered as the government policy in relation to others imprisoned for violation of the war laws, of which class of offenders “probably no better case could be selected,” he de- clared, than that of Debs. Regarding this class of so-called ‘po- litical prisoners, as they are termed L those who are demanding their release r. Daug®rty said, “there is no real reason why they should be treated any differently than any other person who violates the law aside from the fact that many of them, as well as their friends and associates on the outside, believe, and are sincere in their belief, that they have violated no just law and were strictly within their constitutional rights in tneir public utterances which have been found to be in violation of the spionage act,” In reaching his decision regarding Dabs are prising about 10,000 square mi New Yogk, Dec. sweeping over vast sections of and followed by famine, thousands and left ands starving.

WHITTIER. e ———————— the attorney general reviewed the history of the case, quoting copiously from the speech delivered by Debs before the so- clalist convention at Canton, O., in 1918, pointing out that the constitutionality of Debs’ conviction was upheld by the su- preme court and asserting that this was the second time Debs had “set up his theories of government against the gov- | ¢ s0- | e ernment itself”—referring to called Pullman strike in 1804, In dealing with pardon cases, he con- tinued, the object to be accomplished by imprisonment, the protection of society must be taken into account—vengeance the should not enter into a case—and other | reasonable punishment neces: example to others is accom: , there Is no justification for further imprison- | William Romaine Newbold, professor of | Philosophy at the University of Pennsyl- By deciphering the voynish mar.- had | found unmistakable evidence that Roger ment. Considering Debs’ age of 66 years, the attorney general asserted that the per- centage of his life appropriated to the ten-vear sentence was excessive. Clemency in some degree was justified, Mr. Daugherty found, but he could not recommend a pardon, “as it would doubt- less be misunderstood to be a justification or condonation of his acts.” To require Debs to undergo his full sentence, he added, would present to many “only an example of extreme and unjustifiable se- verity,” while too great leniency “would be resented by those who have stood loy- ally to the support of the government In its hour of greatest need.” EACH TRANSPORT BRINGS 800 SOLDIERS FROM THE RHINE ‘Washington, Dec. 30 (By the A.
