COMPULSORY SCHOOL Law.
Address by M. Grant Lucas, Approving
Such a Measure

A large audience assembled in the Metro
politan A. M. E. Church last night, at a
meeting of the Bethel Literary and His
torical Association to listen to an address
by Mr.. M. Grant Lucas on the subject "A
Compulsory School Attendance Law for the
District of Columbia" The speaker in ar
guing for compulsory measure, based his
remarks upon facts and figures given in the
reports of the superintendent of public
schools the census bulletins and the penal
institutions of the District. The old COM
pulSOry law; recent enactments in other
places. the ethics Of such law, as we'll as
Its cost and its relation to parents teach
ers. children and crime. were treated in
order.
Mr.. Lucas made the statement that out
of the 1921 children Of school age given
by the census figures there are only 49, 4B7
enrolled, according to the superintendent
report. After making allowance for those
who are employed and who attend private
and parochial schools, he concluded that
there must be 10000 whom such law
would reach. He also argued that the law
would help to suppress crime by transform
Ing the uneducated classes who make up
the greater portion of the criminal record
into intelligent and law-abiding citizens.
There were 1900 arrests last year" he
said, "Of children under sixteen years OF
age, who would not have fallen into the
school,"
The address was frequently interrupted
by applause, and subsequent remarks were
made by persons present, approving what
had been said by Me- Lucas.
Mr.. George w. Jackson, who presided, an
nounced the appointment of committee on
resolutions indorsing the recent recommen-
dalton of the board of education for a COM
pulsory law. Prof W. H. Richards n
chairman of the committee. Letters were
read from the following school officers:
Gen. Geo. H. Harries, DIR. Richard Kings
man, Mrs. B. G. Francis and Superintend-
ent A. T. Stuart also from a number of
prominent persons interested in the meas
ure.

THE RED CROSS TROUBLE
Statement Of Suspended Members Not
Ready for Publication.

Nothing has yet been heard from Mr..
Hilary Herbert. ex-Secretary of the Navy,
as to the public statement of the suspended
members of the Red Cross Society. The
whole situation hinges on the return of
the statement by Mr.. Herbert and its publ
cation, which statement, as has been pre-
viously made known, contains a brief of
the position Of the suspended members of
the Red Cross and was prepared by Mr.
Herbert at the instance Of the other sus-
pended members. 1t was subsequently sub
mftted for consideration at a meeting Of
these members. and was referred to a
committee, of which Mr.. Simon Wolf is
chairman and Miss Boardman secretary
The committee considered it and presented
1t again to the full meeting. Mr. Herbert
was absent from this meeting, which was
held last Saturday afternoon. and the
statement was forwarded to him for his
approval Of certain changes that were
made.
Mr.. Herbert is in the interior of the
state OF Tennessee and it required several
days for the statement to reach him. It
will. Of course. take the same length Of
time for its return to this city, and it is
probable that 1t will not be given out until
Saturday. Aside from giving these facts
the suspended members will not discuss
the situation at all. They state that their
position is adequately set forth in the
statement they are preparing, and that
further than this they have nothing to say.

CONTROL OF TRANSPORT
AUTHORITY OF MILITARY Off
/. GER IN COMMAND.
Opinion Of Judge Advocate General
Davis Adopted by the War
Department.

Judge Advocate General Davis has given
an opinion to the Secretary of War as to
the rights and powers of the military on
board army transports in the case of civil
ians who refuse to submit to military dis
cipline. This opinion has been adopted by
the War Department and published to the
army for the information and guidance of
all concerned.
1.-THE authority to subject civilians to mil
itary control" the judge advocate general
says, ''is expressly restricted by law to
retainers to the camp and all persons serv-
ing with the armies of the United States in
the field. who. in time of war, are made
subject to orders according to the rules
and discipline of war.
can army transport is public vessel of
the United States. but differs in many es-
sential respects from a ship of war on the
one hand and from merchant vessel car
rying the papers and flag of the United
merchant vessel the difference being that
the authority to enforce orders among the
passengers is vested by maritime law in the
master of the vessel and acts done by him
in that regard are subject to review by
courts having admiralty Jurisdiction.
In the case of the army transports the
authority for the maintenance Of discipline
is distributed by the transport regulations
among the commanding officers of the
troops, the transport Quartermaster and
the master of the ship
"In the case under discussion paragraph
189 Of the transport regulations provides
that the commanding officer of troops en-
barked will be responsible for the discipline
of his command. including such casuals
discharged and furloughed soldiers as may
be given transportation on board ship, and
also responsible for the proper policing and
cleansing Of quarters occupied by the troops,
including mess decks
1.-The powers vested in the commanding
officer by the regulations above cited are
substantially those recognized by the ad-
miralty law Of the world as belonging to
the master of vessel which carries pas
sengers by sea. They seem ample and Of
fcers in whom they are vested have the
force at their command to carry them into
effect. AS in the case Of the master, a par
ttcular exercise Of authority on the part Of
the commanding officer may be reviewed in
courts having appropriate Jurisdiction and
1t Is the opinion Of this Office that such
right OF action cannot be Invested by leg
islation: nor. in the opinion Of this office,
does 1t seem necessary to make this matter
the subject Of legislative regulation
