Judge Advocate General Leber of the
army. In his annual report to the Secretary
OF War, calls attention to the entire insult
ftciency of the present reward for the an
prehension of deserters, and SAYS:
Formerly the amount of the reward was
not fixed by statute, but was left to the
Secretary of War to regulate For manv
years $50 was the amount designated. hut
this not being considered sufficient it was
increased to 500. In 1894 the power of fix
ing the amount was taken away from the
secretary of War by Congress itself pre-
scribing what 1t should be, namely. $40
SO entirely insufficient is this amount that
IL is little better than none at all and in
the opinion Of many who are in the best
posltlon Tor Judging, it encourages deser-
tlon think that the best plan would be
to return to the former system. when the
amount of the reward was regulated by the
secretary of War, but in any event II
should be largely increased"
There were 1,sS4 trials by general courts
martial and 1856 trials by inferior courts
martial during the past fiscal year, a de-
crease s OF io2 or the former and decrease
OF III OF the latter class of trials as com
pared with the preceding fiscal year. OF
the general court-martial cases only five
were those or commissioned officers The
number of trials was less than for any
year since 1893. Convictions for desertion
numbered 24f, being less than for any
previous year since 1893.
