Rebuked by the President.
In approving the sentence of dismissal
imposed by court-martial in the case of
First Lieut. William w. Ballard, jr.. Coast
Artillery Corps the President took oc-
casion to criticise the administration OF
affairs at Fort Wadsworth, n. Y, where
the derelictions Of which the officer was
convicted occurred. 1t is difficult to es-
cape the conclusion, remarks the Presi-
dent in his Endorsement, that many, If
not most of the derelictions of duty which
are disclosed by the record of trial IN
this case would have been avoided had the
post commander resorted to disciplinary
measures when the necessity FOR that
course was made apparent by the intern
perate habits of the accused and by his
the duties with which he was charged as
an officer of the Coast Artillery. AS con-
sequence of the lax administration of dis
cipline at Fort Wadswortb serious re-
proach has been brought upon the military
service and the efficiency of it's garrison
has been materially impaired.
