z EVER trials by court-martial than
7 in any year since the Spanish
American war were held by the army
during the last fiscal year, according
to the annual report Of Brigadier Gen
eral e. H. Crowder, judge advocate
general.
During the year there were 1851
general courts-martial, or a decrease
of 1856 as compared with the year
preceding. The number of trials was
only per cent of the average en-
listed strength of the army, whereas
the 1910 average was sos per cent.
and in 1909 it was IA per cent. Alb
sence without leave and desertion
were the chief offenses.
Trials by summary courts decreased
last year by 9,193 compared with the
previous year. These trials represent
ed 43 per cent. of the average enlisted
strength of the army, decrease Of IA
per cent. from the 1910 percentage.
The reduced number Of summary
courts, according to the Judge advo-
cate, has been accomplished without

Direct approval of the campaign for

given by the American Federation OF

by the National Association for the

the American Federation of Labor a
resolution was adopted calling for all
the members Of the Federation to
lurther the sale as much as possible.
lpe resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, The American Fedora
tlon OF Labor has in every possible
way aided the movement for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
throughout the United States and
Canada; and,
whereas, The American National
hed Cross has been in the past and is
now making an especial effort,

mas seals to secure funds to carry
on the war against tuberculosis, and
by means of the funds raised in this
manner has been able to do much ef-

Intervention That Made II Certain

Not Struck.

Senator Duncan U Fletcher Of Flor
ida sought his berth one night on a
eleeping car on the way south from
Washington. Pulling back the cur
tains of a lower nine. he saw that HIS
bed was already occupied.
HI, there!" called the senator,
shaking the stranger by the shoulder.
The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily.

the statesman. "and this is my berth. "

er, and this is my berth"

Sos mine." agreed the intruder
"Ah, / see." said the senator po-
litely. There must have been a mis-
take in reserving the same berth for
two men Of the same name. I'll go
into the next sleeping car"
The stranger, by this time, was fully
awake. and proceeded to apologize,
and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead and found a place
to sleep.
An hour later the train was wreck
ed. The car IN which the stranger
occupied the lower nine fell through
a trestle, and that Fletcher was
killed. The senator's car was not
damaged at all.-Popular Magazine.
