CAPTAIN / hverir:s. of the United Stotes
Army, who is TO be tried for mistrcat ting
a private soldier under his command
named Hammond, claims that his treat
ment OF Hammond comes under the
hoad of "JustiCablc" military discipline.
and he Is surnortcd by one Colonel Hail,
comnlandFEttgPoSt where the mon are
stationed, who says:
''If It was necessary 10 prod Ham
mund With u sword or To kick him
I'M order to compel him to obey an
order l regard it as perfectly 1usti-

The charge against Captain Lowering
Is that he dragged Private Hammond
about by tho hocls; that he kicked the
PROSTATE man ana pruddcd him with his

punishment was justlnuhc Captain
Lowering ana Colonel Hail would do well

big, but do these officers not know that
logging IN the United States Army
was abolished by act of Congress in
1861. and that their conduct Is far more
rcprchcnsihlc than If they had logged

Every ono knows that discipline Is
necessary In the army, and it should

nor approve the method or Captain Low
