LIEUT.. PLUMMER's CASE.
Gen. Wint's Comment on the Action Of
the Court-Martial

First Lieut.. William H. Plummer, 9th In
fantry, was recently convicted by court
martial of charges of neglect of duty and
absence without leave and sentenced to
confinement within the limits of his post for
six months, to forfeit SIS per month for the
same period and to be reprimanded.
Gen. Theodore J. Whit, commanding the
Department of Missouri. in reviewing the
proceedings in this case said that the court
erred in sustaining the motion of the de-
Tense to strike out the first charge and the
three specifications hereunder. Each of
said specifications" said General Whit.
sets forth a certain pledge given by the
accused to abstain from the use of intox1-
eating beverages for a certain period and
alleges its violation under the 61st article
of war. In support of the motion it was
claimed that said pledge was obtained by
duress, and to substantiate such claim the
defense offered to produce proofs; none,
however, was required by the court, nor Is
the existence of duress manifest from the
form of the pledge, and in absence of evil
dence to that effect, or of any statement by
the court, 1t is uncomfortable upon what
theory they base their conclusions. The
sufhcfency of the charges had been passed
upon by the converting authority and moth
ing short of a clear demonstration in law
or fact upon the merits of the motion would
justify the court in thus summarily dispos-
ing of a material part of the charges refer
red to them for trial. The courts action
IN this respect Is therefore disapproved.
The proceedings, findings and sentence upon
the remaining charges and Specifications
are approved, and in consummating the
punishment imposed 1t is believed that the
publicity given to these proceedings in Or
ders will have the force of a reprimand in
preventing a recurrence of the offenses
tried. The sentence adjudged will be duly
executed at the station where the COM
pany OF the accused may be serving"

RIOT PRovoKEs TROUBLE.
Solicitude Over Strained Relations Be.
tween Austria and Italv.

VIENNA, November 5-The attack upon
the Italian students at Innsbruck Thursday
occasions great solicitude here. There is
no attempt to disguise in certain official
circles the apprehension that the relations
between Austria and Italy, which have been
strained for some time, are now near the
breaking point
1t is well known that the anti Austrian
feeling throughout Italy will be greatly in
creased by the unfortunate events of Thurs
day, and the public feeling which has long
been excited under the propaganda of the
Dante Alighieri Society may become infam-
ed to war pitch. There can be no doubt
that, notwithstanding the earnest efforts
OF the German emperor and of Count Won
Buelow to pour oil upon the troubled waters.
the triple alliance is practically at an end.
The trouble was revived recently by the
failure to renew the commercial treaty be-
tween the two countries.
The Hungarian government opposed the
renewal, because of the competition of Ital-
ian wines and produce. and the Italian and
Austro-Hungarian governments were forced
TO go under a moduS vfvendi. There was
constant complaint in the southern prov
inces of Austria of ill-treatment of Italians
by a German element and of like ill-treat-
ment of Austrians in Italy, which culminat-
ed in series of disturbances throughout
Italy some time ago, during which the es-
cutcheons of the Austrian consulates in sew
eral large cities of Italy were disfigured.
An important conference was held be-
tween Signor Tittoni, the Italian foreign
minister, and Count Goluchowski, the Aus
trian foreign minister. at Abazzia, in April
There had been an urgent demand by the
Italian citizens of southwestern Austria for
the establishment of a school at Trent for
the purpose of teaching Italian literature,
law and history.
This matter was considered with great
care at the Abazzia conference and the
Austrian representative declined to estab-
lish the school at Trent because of his fear
that it would increase the anti-Austran
spirit in that section, but he compromised
by establishing an Italian faculty at Inns
bruck, and there has been constant trouble
between the two groups ever since, culmi-
mating in the riots which have just taken
place.
