While there is difference of opin-
ion regarding the policy of Gen. Jake
Smith in the Philippines when, after a
fair trial, he decided that drastic means
were the only ones that could possibly
prove effective in dealing with the
treacherous Filipinos, and gave what
has since beoo me known in the news
paper annals of the country as the
kill and burn" order, it is likely that
President Roosevelt's order retiring
Gen. Smith cannot be questioned.
Some Of the newspapers claim under
flaming headlines that the president
exceeded his authority, as he is per-
mitted only TO mitigate the sentence
Of court martial, and not to increase
its severity. Their position is that he
retired Gen. Smith in order TO make
the findings Of Che court martial more
severe. The error OF this is very APP
lHANht oAtNA u Auoultut IOuHlltIhtlOu.
The court martial ordered that Gen
Smith be reprimanded. This was
done, and was the extent Of the find.
ing The president has no authority
to retire an officer without a court
martial, except on account Of age,
hence he did not retire Gen. Smith AS
an addition to the verdict Of the court
martial for he could not legally do
so, and it is presumed President Roose-
welt knows what he is doing. The
only other reason that could be adj
vanced, therefore, is that he retired
Gen. Smith on account Of age, and il
he did this it was not necessarily u
part of the sentence Of the court mar
tial, and not to add to its severity.
