MAJOR cARRINGToN,s CASE.
Record of the Courts Proceedings Sent
to Washington.

The military secretary has been informed
by cable that the trial of Major Frank del.
Darlington, LIST Infantry. before a general
court-martial at Manila. p. l., on charges
of alleged financial irregularities. has been
completed, and that the record of the pro-
ceedings of the court has been forwarded
by mail to Washington. The reference OF
the case to Washington. instead Of dlspos-
ing of 1t at Manila, is taken by some army
officers to indicate that the officer was sem
fenced to dismissal. A sentence of less
severity could have been passed upon by
the commanding general of the Philippine
division. Major Darlington was recently
sentenced by the civil courts of Manila to
forty years imprisonment because of al
legged misadministration of Philippine funds.

Desertions From the Army.

AS the result of the numerous assertions
from the army during the past year a cir
cular has been issued by the War Depart
ment directing the recruiting officers to do
their best to obtain men for the army The
general staff is concerned over the heavy
increase in the number of assertions and
has the matter under consideration 1t was
shown by reports recently received at the
department that the assertions at some or
the larger posts were as high as 30 per
cent That high rate is attributed to the
lack of care of the enlistment corps to get
good men. Most of the men who have de-
serted have been addicted to the intern
perate use of intoxicants, and ii is be-
lieved that with little more care to get
the right kind of men by the enlisting
corps the rate of assertions will decrease.

Brave Non-Combatants.

The non-combatants gave splendid ex-
hibition of their devotion to duty, with al :
most the same risks and without the oppor-
tunities for glory Of the men in the fight
ing line. All supplies of rations and ammu-
milton had to be taken across the river
and the open fields under fire from the Rus
sian batteries, and during the last stage of
the trip before the Russian rifles. South of
the river bed was the plain, at least a mile
wide. with no shelter, and over this went
pack trains, carts and hospital men, bring
ing back the wounded, the stretcher-bearers
carrying bodies to the cremating fire behind
Witesan. For two days this zone was swept
by almost constant artillery fire, and for
three days the roads and approaches were
shelled at intervals for several hours. Yet
on the plain the engineers were calmly re-
pairing the telephone lines, while the men of
the hospital corps plodded back and forth
on their journeys. One of the base hospi-
tails was situated in Chinese hamlet back
of low hill on the border of the plain,
and was frequently struck by shells. The
road from this hospital to the headquarters
of the division, which were on the reverse
of a small slope further to the front, ran
for several hundred yards in sight of
Russian battery. The Russian guns were
sending shell every few minutes during
the night well as the day. The carts
and horsemen were sent across the road
and at full speed, to present the least pos
sible target. One Of the roads to the river
led from the headquarters village down the
farther side of the slope, and this road was
shelled frequently. The shrapnel burst In
cornfield SO near that frequently they
kicked up clouds of dust almost at the back
wall of the generals house, but never quite
reached 1t. In this village there were Chi
nese going about their work and children
playing In the fields during the most inces-
SAINT fire. Four soldiers came across the
field to the village bearing the body of an
officer while shrapnel were dropping all
about them. but although they shuff1ed
along at as fast a gait as their burden
would permit they did not drop it.
