ANT[-MILlTARY STEP
INJURY TO FRENCH ARMY.
Socialists Urging the 4bolition Of
Courts Martial


Paris. June 1.-THE Socialists under the lead
OF Jean Jaures and other advocates of anti
1nilitarism. together with the parliamentary
agents of the General Federation of Labor. are
concentrating their efforts to undermine the
discipline and loyalty of the army. They have
already won a partial victory in the Chamber
of Deputies by obtaining amendment 10 'he
law constituting courts martial. the chief point
of which is the introduction Of at least two
civilians into the composition OF the court IhlS
innovation. pronounced faulty by Maitre Labor
and reluctantly accepted by Premier Clemen-
ceau and by General Picquart, is severely
criticised by the best military experts.
NJ Meline Conservative Republican and
former PRIME Minister expresses the following
opinion on this perilous innovation:
This Intrusion Of civilians could be justified
only in cases of common law. This does not
obtain in military courts They will have to
Judge such things as desertion. abandonment o.
posts lack of discipline toward officers. etc
all breaches of common law being dealt with as
before by public tribunals. obviously. the real
aim of the Socialists is TO weaken the army
On the other hand, Jaures and the Socialists
say that they are dissatisfied with this haIt
measure. and that French liberal minded men
will not rest until a law is voted aoohshlhg
courts martial altogether and substituting civil
tribunals in their stead.
Meanwhile NJ de Freycinet indorses the fol-
lowing opinion set forth in the Echo de Paris.
the most authoritative organ of French military
men:
