4 WOMAN'S LOGIC.

Sir Mortimer Durand. at a dinner at
LenOx. said of a certain unkind action:
1T was a logical action. There was
reason behind It. But to be simply logi-
cal and reasonable IN our treatment of
others is not enough. A certain amount
OF kindness. of unselfishness. must be
thrown in, or otherwise we are cruel. I
heard OF a reasonable but cruel young
lady the other day. A young man pro-
posed TO her and met with a fiat rejec-
ton. He seemed hurt andoffenled and
at this she expressed surprise.
But said the young man, In low.
reproachful voice. why did you encour-
age me If YOU didn't love me?'
e" Encourage you? cried the Young
lady. How did l encourage you?'
A." The entire summer. he replied. you

Annapolis Court Martial.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan 13.-The most
important trial that has yet come before
the hazing court martial at the Naval
Academy, and one that contains more
extensive charges, began this morning
when Midshipmsn j. Paul Miller, OF
Lancaster, KY, star member OF the
class that would graduate on February
IL, was arraigned on the charge of hazing
and also countenancing the hazing OF four
midshipmen of the fourth class. The
importance OF the case is shown by the
fact that the accused has additional
counsel in the person Hon. Charles A..
Lauchheimer, U. S. Marine Corps, who
is recognized authority on naval courts
martial. E. S. Thesll, of Washington,
ID. c., is also counsel.
Much work has devoved upon Lieu
tenant Commander VIM. X. Harrison,
Judge advocate 10 the previous trials be-
fore the court and, the superintendent oil
the academy has therefore designated
Lieutenant Commander G.. K. MARVEL
to assist Mr.. Harrison in the prosecu-
ton of he case.
Miller is alleged to have hazed Fourth
Classmen Henry G.. Cooper, jr., of Ok
ford, n. c.; Max b. Dpmott, of Niles,
Mich; Stanley K. Canon, oi Liano,
Texas, and John F. Donaldson. of
Pawnee, Oklahoma, by compelling them
to do the sixteenth" He is charged
with having permitted to do the same
act while in his presence, when it was
his duty to suppress it as one of the
senior midshipmen.
It is in this connection that the
"countenancing" charge comes in. Ii
will be noted that the academy author
ities have framed the charges that il
guilt is not proved Of hazing a conviction
will follow for encouraging or cOuntenan-
cling bazing. Miller's trial marks the
attn OF series Stree the courtmartial
was convened here on December IL.
The trial was opened with the reading
of The charges OF the accused. Miller,
when asked the usual question of guilty
or not guilty I" announced that he would
plead through his counsel
Thereupon Col. Lauchheimer entered
a demurrer to the charges and speci6ca-
tons against Miller in that the facts al
legged did not constitute hazing, etc, I'M
der the act of 1874, and the amendment
Of 1908, and be argued before the court
on the motion for demurrer on this
ground
Judge Advocate Harrison, in arguing
to the negative spoke of the authority
defining 'hszing," in that it is stated
any upper classman assuming unau-
thorized authority against new midship-
man. The court overruled the demurrer.
