NAVAL DESERTERS.
An Important Opinion by the Judge
Advocate General.


The judge advocate general of the navy
has rendered an important opinion in re-
gard to the provisions of the naval regu-
lations relating to desertion. The question
was raised by Lieutenant ellis, command
ing the torpedo boat Porter. who expressed
the opinion that a recent decision of the
judge advocate general that an enlisted
man is not guilty of desertion and does not
lose his rights Of citizenship until he has
been proved a deserter by due process OF
law, does not accord with the evident in
tenti0n of the articles Of the Naval Reyil-
iationS bearing on that subject. The iuuge
advocate general quotes the articles refer
ring TO the subject and admits that they
are liable to miscOnstruction. As remedy
ne suggests that The present article az; be
stricken out and that the following be in
serted IN lieu thereof namely:
Every person vino deserts the naval
service of the United States shall. upon
CONVICTION thereof, be forever incapabl.. of
holding any. office of trust or profit under
the United States, or of exercising aay
rights of citizens thereof
Inc judge advocate general also calls at
tentlon to the frequent miSConStrllction h,-
officers in the naval service Of paragraph /
OF article $50 of the Naval Regulations.
which provides that the captains shall
cause the proper entries of the facts tf.cis
attending unauthorized absence of Y hich
he shall be the judge. to be made i'm rbs
log and on the pay officers books"
The paragraph quoted. the Judge alyo-
cate general says. does not mean thar The
entries referred To are a final detarmirls-
uon IN The matter of unauthorized absence.
ana mat the mere ipSe diXit of the Capt.fn
can make a man a deSerter and sIIb iart
MN lpso facto to the penalties for that Of
tense; but seems simply thar these ,f.cI1ra-
uons Of the captain make such a man
ptlma facIe 'stfaggler' or ''deSer5er'' for
the purpose merely of his enlistment rec
ord and the pay officers accounts.
