Wilson approves soldier sentence at court martial
President Wilson approved an army court martial decision sentencing Lewis C. Gardner of the New Mexico militia to a dishonorable discharge and a year in prison with hard labor for failing to obey the federal border duty call last June. He remitted the prison term as the case was treated as a test. War Department officials see the ruling as a warning to over 10 000 National Guard members who have not reported for federal service.
