nnlshed condlt1On, the null OF the QouDie tur-
reted monitor Amphibryon, on which work has

preparations. PetltlonerS nave suffered serious
inconvenience and loss by being deprived OF one

Ole The Secretary OF the Navy 10 complete the

Mr.. COckrell. from the committee on military
affairs, reported adversely on the bill to remove
the charge OF desertion from the military record
OF Charles Corselius and others. In view OF the
very large number OF applications to Congress
for removal OF charges OF desertion, Mr.. Cockren
called attention to the concluding sentence of
the committees report, Which expresses the
conviction hat such special legislation is neither
proper nor wise ana tnat as general RUE, tne
War department has ample power to do
equal justice 10 an apphcahts ior rele1.
