D1sMIssALs OF OFFICERS.
Army Men Interested in Captain
Gregg's Case.

tEFeES's case.
Army officers are greatly interested in
a case which is shortly to reach the United
States courts in Washington. An ex-officer
of volunteers, who was dismissed by sem
tenee of court-nartiaI at Manila, claims
that General Otis, the reviewing authority
in his case did net have the legal aU-
thority 10 approve the sentence and that
the proceedings and findings of the court
should have gone to the President.
His case is similar to that of four or FIVE
others who were dismissed for various Of
fences, General Otis acting on all the cas-
es. The action of the ex-of1cer Captain
Gregg is based on the conclusion that :
state of war does not exist in the Philip
pines. in which event the President is
aI0ne authorized to act on court-martiaI
cases where sen tence of dismissal is involv-
ed. The War Department will defend the
action of General Otis with the assertion
that war does exist in the Philippines and
that all the conditions are those of actual
war while the rulings III all cases arc
such are governed b. q stale Of war.
Thus. in time of peace co2-t martial tri-
ais must proceed under law defining lirni-
tations of punishment and in time Of war
the law does not operate.
1t will be pointed cut to the court that
the law is not in effect in the Philippines
The law officers of the Army say the ap-
peal to the courts will avail nothing 10 the
claimants, for the President may yet act
on the cases. The only advantage the ex-
officers may hope to gain is in using theiI
influence with the President to secure an
nulments or notifications of the sentences
General Otis refused TO mitigate the SEN
tences and the cases never reached Wash
ing.on officially. except in the correction OF
a minor technical mistake in the record
due to ca~elessness.
