COBLENZ May 22— Two Ameri
can soldiers who went ahead of the
Army of Occupation during its march
across Rhenish Prussia last December,
donned German army uniforms and
had a series of thrilling adventures,
after a couit martial recently, wore
s* ntencod to twenty years at hard la
bor. The men, both privates, were
oho aje 1 with de c lion in ndd’tidn to
eiu .t other off* uses connected with
the r run away tiip.
According to the testimony brought
out at the court martial both m u

ahead of tin* rdve/'ing: troops fell in
with a number of Orman soldiers al
so deserters. Th Me mans had stolen
a lot of food, wearing: apparel and
other a tides of value and, witness*'
said, induced the Amor cans to assist
the Co mans in re cuing: the stolen
nun and Frank Richards, probable

refused to heed repeated German com- •
mauds to “halt”, the German police- |
man began to fire. One man f'”, j

after a chase, was caught. When the

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 160 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
P ‘.sscs from the interior converge at this point much as it
nature had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in salety at any time, and
wiiich in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topo.: aj the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to -its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
limited coal anu c II and mineral resources of Alaska will
iiow through this port to enter tne commerce of the world,
and in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great pert of the North Pacific or the
N EW i ORK OF ALASKA.

surrounding this city, write io the
