the civil courts il necessary 10 secure
tull justice. has caused not little specu-
latiOn as to Just what the civil courts
could do In such an instance. Time and
time again both the United States court
Of claims and the United States supreme
court have held that there Is no appeal
10 a civil court from military court
martial. except upon Illegal or unconsti-
tutional action, or gross error on the part
OF the military court which threatened TO
deprive the accused officer OF some con-
stitutionally guaranteed right of citizen
ship. The ground of complaint or appeal
to the civil court must be plain and be-
yond cavil and it is therefore n matter
OF grave doubt whether in the case of
the court -martialed young naval paymas-
ter who was given severe hauling over
Goals which has been construed as
reprimand. an appeal would be enter
tanned by the United States court.
AS to Reprimands.
AS matter of fact, reprimands are IL
legal unless administered as part of the
sentence OF a court martial. and while in
this instance the letter of the secretary
OF the navy rebuking the young officers
at the Boston navy yard is being con-
strued as reprimand IL Is probable that
Il civil court would rule that mere let
ter OF admonition cannot be regarded as
a reprimand which only a court-martial
could make legal. OF course as the Off
cial records show there have been many
a reprimandinS letter sent TO errinS Of
dcers, and sometimes as in the case OF
that splendid officer. General Nelson q;
Miles. who was so scathingly criticized
and reprimanded by President Roosevelt
they have been sent 10 distinguished Of
ficcrs I'm no way deserving of them. but
there Is a difference between repr,,
mandng letter and legal reprlmand, and
II a learned tribunal like the United
States supreme court should be called
upon to decide whether a reprimand is
not punishment and therefore no subse,
Quent punishment like a court martial
sentence. whatever IL be, is legal. the
chances are that il would decide that the
rcprimandng letter is not a legal repri-
mand, and that therefore the complaint
should have been made against the repri-
manding letter which no superior has
the legal right to send to any inferior
provided the latter objects. But the
court martialed young officers father is
talking mighty bg here in Washington,
and there are some good lawyers who
would cheerfuly carry the question up to
the highest court OF appeal for decision II
the father will permit that course to be
pursued
Has Bad Effect.
The effect OF this court martial on the
navy is bad. 1t so happens that Just

bitter fight Matching between the line
and staff OF the navy over certain
changes in the administrative methods

was just getting warm in the naval COM

Boston. As luck would have II. the two
young officers in trouble at Boston be-
long to the star departments OF The

belief prevails that for the time being
the hatchet Will be buried and the navy
Will stand united in sympathy for the
two comrades who have been made the
victims OF alleged political interference.
And right here is where the bad effect
OF the thing is likely to be felt-the re-
sentiment OF naval people and more
less back talk and criticism which In the
end will have a tendency to create I'M
pleasant feelings among some leaders

congress now, now more than for some
years past, and IL would have been far

Navy in Public Favor,
A well-informed man was talking the
other day of the manner in which the
navy had grown In public favor in the
past few twenty years in this country,
and he attributed the pleasing change
to the Navy league, which has been do
ing yeomsn work towards popularizing
the naval establishment IN the United
States. This league never made much
fuss or noise over Its plans or purposes.

into about 5000 patriotic citizens more or

navy at every opportunity. And behold

often, 1t is claimed. the individual per-

navy are subjected to too close scru-
