16 WILSON FREES 2 NAMED BY HUGHES IN AIR SCANDAL Accused of Doing Business With Concerns in Which They Were Interested ash lug ton, Dec. 4. —Lieutenant Colonels J. C. Vincent and George W. Mixter, army officers named by Charles E. Hughes in his report on the aircraft investigation as having been guilty of transacting business with private concerns in which they were financially Interested, have been pardoned by President Wilson. This announcement was made last night at the White House: "It was announced at the execu tive office to-day that the President had pardoned Lieutenant Colonel George W. Mixter and Lieutenant Colonel J. G. Vincent, whom the re cent report on aircraft production showed to be technically guilty be ' cause of a breach of statutes because he entirely concurs in the views of the attorney general with regard to these two cases. He believed that the two gentlemen concerned were entirely innocent of any improper or selfish intentions, that their guilt was only technical, and that their services to the government, which have been of the highest value and of the most disinterested sort, de serve a most cordial recognition." No action against Colonel Vincent or Colonel Mixter has been taken by the department of Justice, and the granting of full pardons to them was recomnfended to the President by At torney General Gregory, who took up their cases in separate letters to the President. These letters were made public to-night. Colonel Vincent was vice-president of the Packard Motor Car Company and was one of the designers of the Liberty motor. Mr. Hughes' report said Colonel Mixter owned twenty-five shares of stock of the Curtiss Airplane and Motor Corporation, valued at $2,500, while he acted for the government in "supervising inspection and pro duction at the company's plant. SOLDIERS ARRESTED Five negro soldiers who started a free-for-all tight on a New Cum berland street car last night, were arrested and sent to the guard house at Marsh Run to await pun ishment. Five others escaped arrest while state police were being sum moned. "Because Tonall Helped Others, I Bought It. Because It Benefited Me. I Recommended Tonall. ' Mrs. Gertrude Schupp. of Mill wood. Lancaster county, Pa., says: "I am a widow and make my liv ing at dressmaking. I was troubled with my stomach and could not cat much, had difficulty with bloating. I used one bottle of Tonall and began to feel good almost immediately. I will continue to use it as I feel sure it will bring me around all right. "I bought Tonall because it helped others, and as it benefited me 1 rec ommend it for all stomach ailments." Tonall is sold at the Gorgas Drug Store, Harrisbtirg: at the Hershey Drug Store, Hershey, anil Mart/.' at Steelton. Aged Resident Has Narrow Escape "I was at my work, my limbs be came number, I got dizzy and faint, my ears seemed stopped up. I had been troubled with gas on my stom ach and severe bloating after meals. Doctors failed to help me. One dose of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, rec ommended by the corner druggist, proved a life-saver to me. I am continuing with it with splendid re sults."

WEDNESDAY EVENING AIR RAIDS WERE SILLY, SON OF EX-KAISER SAYS Asserts Commanders of Sub marines Went Much Too Far; Diplomats Err Oostcrlnnd, Holland, Dec. 4.—Fred erick William Ilohenzollern, the for mer German Crown Prince, is living a very simple Hie now. He strolls about the Island of Wieringen, chats with peasants, and is learning the Dutch language from a smnlt boy who speaks English. He says he is interned, although in reality not in-' terned, as all the other German offi cers have ben permited to leave Hol land. He does not expect his 4vtfe to come to Holland: she will remain in Berlin to superintend the educa tion of their children. Made Terms of Treaty Hard When the Brest-Litovsk treaty was mentioned, he said its terms were hard because in Russia the Germans were confronted by the Boishevikl. "The air raids on London and oth er to4vns and the big gun used against Paris were useless militarily and. in fa'ct, sill)*," said Frederick William. "Orders to submarine commanders were read differently by various of ficers. who went much too far. Re garding air raids. 1 suggested two years ago an international agreement confining air activities to the actual war zone, but my opinion was en tirely disregarded. 1 was again told my job was to command my armies." Compelled to Send Telegram German diplomats, he declared. | had made "awful" mistakes, being j unable to' see the viewpoint of the ; countries where they were stationed and misreading opinion in other countries Referring to the notorious Kaiser telegram during the Boer war, he sdid: "My father was made to send this telegram; by his political advisers." j Speaking of the beginning of the j war Frederick Wiliam asserted: "Contrary to all statements hitherto j made abroad, 1 never desired war. and thought the moment quite inop portune. 1 was never consulted, and the report about a Crown Council being held in Berlin to decide on the war I deny on my oath. I was en joying a stay at a watering place when mobilization was ordered. I "My father also. 1 am sure, did ; not desire war. If Germany had i sought the best opportunity for mak- j ing war site would have chosen the j period either of the Boer war or the! Russo-Japanese war. Certain England Would Enter "From the beginning i was cer tain that England would enter tlie! conflict. This was not shared | by Prince Henry and the other mem- | bers of my family. "People have credited me with ; warlike intentions. But i was only j a soldier with a desire to see the army kept thoroughly efficient, and i I worked hard to bring this about. | i'eople blamed me with the failure 1 at Verdun. But 1 refused twice to attack here wih the troops at my disposal. OOn he third occasion my attack was sucessful lor the first three (lays, but 1 was not properly supported. Thinks Verdun Attack Mistake "1 thought that tlie Verdun attack was a mistake. We should have at tacked to the eastward of Verdun, where there would have been great probability of success." The ex-Crown Prince was rather bitter regarding the work of the' general staff, which he asserted was I responsible for numerous mistakes, including the attack in March, 1918, which he was ordered to make, con trary to his own view, and was com pelled to obey. He declared that | Ludendorff was the mainspring of j Germany's warlike activities, while' Von Hindenburg was a mere figure-1 head. Discounted Yankee Strength Ludendorff and his staff continu- I ally underestimated the enemy's! forces and never believed that Amer- ] ica's contribution of soldiers was | as great as it actually proved to be. j Frederick William declared him self to be an admirer of President! Wilson, vfho, he felt assured, would bring about a peace of justice for the German'people, and concluded: "Any humiliation of a nation con taining seventy million people would ! only leave a feeling of revenge. Such ' a nation cannot be crushed. The' armistice terms are very severe and ; almost impossible of execution, as; the Entente powers are taking away ajurge portion of the means of trans port."

PENROSE TO ACT FOR PROTECTION Senator Will Present Bills to Look After Industries of the Keystone State According to a Washington dis patch to the Philadelphia Press, Senator Penrose will present import ant bills early in the new session. The Press says: "It is my thought that soon after March 4—assuming that Congress will be called in extra session—we will proceed to enact new tariff schedules, even though we realize that the President is very likely to veto the bill," said Senator Penrose, who is slated to be the next chair man of the finance committee. "Much will depend upon the state of public finances," said Mr. Pen rose. "We do not even now, with the revenue bill before the com mittee know anything about the financial conditions of the Treasury, and we have summoned Secretary McAdoo to appear to-morrow and enlighten us.

By that time the necessity of a pro tective turlff will be more apparent to tho People." Senator Penrose to-day declined | to discuss the movement to depose him further than to Bay that he | thought there was nothing in it j and that he felt sure he would be made chairman of the finance com-1 mlttee.' Inquiry among members of j the Senate developed the fact that the Progressives, led by Senator Borah, who initiated the movement, against Penrose, have made little headway. It has not proved a popular move ment in the Senate, because those who might not care for Penrose for chairman of the principal commit tee, fear to break the rule of senior ity lest it react upon them or their friends. This fact deters the Dem ocrats from giving any encourage ment to the revolution started by Borah and Norris, of Nebraska. They realize that if the seniority rule is broken it may embarrass them if they again secure control of that body. One thing that Pen rose's friends put forward in his behalf is the fact that he has fully qualified for the chairmanship. Dur ing all the years that he has been a member of the finance comnittteo he has missed hut comparatively few meetings, His diligence Is admit ted by his colleagues and this will be In his favor.
