Germany's new war against Russia apparently is not popular with the German or Austrian people, according to comment in the press of the two countries.

George Bemhard, in The Vossisoho Zeitung, emphasizes this point and wants explanation of who was responsible for this disappointment. The socialist Vorwaerts takes the same line and says: "The more we meddle in Russian affairs, the more we get away from peace. What must bo done is to {stick to the defense of our own soil and to make peace wherever possible without annexation or forcible amputations." v i Alarm in Austria. * t A large section of opinion in Austria-Hungary also is alarmed over the prospect of a renewal of war with Russia.

The Neuc Fn'e Presse and The Reichspost argue that as AustriaHungary no longer has any enemies on her caste 111 frontiers, she is not called upon to interfere in Russia's internal affairs. The Arbeiter Zeitung, Vienna's leading socialist newrpaper, insists emphatically that Austria-Hungary must not take part in a new offensive. It thinks that the invasion of a totally defenseless country will gain the German government ittlc support among the German workers, who, although they entered the war against Czardom with enthusiasm, will not endorse its continuance for the purpose of overthrowing the labor government in Petrograd. "Austria-Hungary," it adds, "can- ' not hinder the plans of the German , imperialists, out it cannot and dare not join Germany in a new war on Russia. This appears also to be the view of the Emperor and the government, but the people demand from Count Czernin, the foreign secretary, absolute assurance that Austria-Hungary regards her war with Russia ' as ended." o DISLOYAL CAPTAIN GIVENLONG TERM New York. Capt. David A. Menkes, Sixteenth Infantry, U. S. A., has been sentenced to dismissal from the service and confinement at hard labor for 25 years by a general court held at Governor's Island. Menkes, who is of Genu an descent, endeavored to resign his commission, saying he did not care to fight against relatives and friends. Contain Menkes, who was stationed ^ -- 4- r - ' " at San Antonio, Texas, last May, wrote to the secretary of war urging him to accept the resignation, which he ha<l already submitted and giving reasons which, lie declared, would no longer allow him to serve as an officer of the American army. "Further service as a commissioned officer must sooner or later take me to Europe and there bring me in conflict with my relatives and friends, although for the time being my legal enemies," Captain Hcnkes wrote. "My father came from Germany. My mother was born here shortly after the artfvai of her parents.

Captain Henkes soon after he had submitted his resignation was orderid to France with the American ex peditionary forces, and fgom ther", on June 29, 1917, wrote the adjutant general in Washington calling attention to his resignation and declared his battalion commander, the department quartermaster and the command , ing officer of the southern department had approved his action. Again on October 10, while still on duty in France, Captain Henkes svrote to the adjutant general urging acceptance of his resignation. "The underlying facts are unutterable," he declared. Captain Henkes was then ordered to this country and summoned before a general courtmartial at Governor's Island, whore ho was formerly charged with violation of the 95th article of war. The charge recited that "having taken an oath of office in which, among other things, he swore to support the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,' and that he would bear true faith and allegiance to the same.' m had written the letter concerning his resignation. Tin? same charge was made in connection with the other letter. Court martial Sustained. The courtmartial found him guilty and the findings having been reviewed by the judge advocate general, the sentence of the court, dismissal fro/n the service and confinement at hard labor for 25 years, were ordered carried out. The United States disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., was designated as the place of imprisonment and it was declared that "Capt. David A. Henkes, Sixteenth Infantry, ceases to be an officer of the army from February 28, 1918." The report was signed by Maj. William A. Mann, commanding the Department pf>t^e East and by Coi. \V. E.
