THE RETIRAcY OF GENERAL

The friends of Adjt-Gen. Fred G.
Ainsworth commend the Judgment
which prompted him to voluntarily
retire rather than to have court
martial through which no good could
have come to the service and harm

1t Is generally admitted that he has
erred and thai he deserved to be dis
placed. but it is explained that his
offensive conduct is due to broken
health or nervous strain, which are
at least charitable views of the sit
uation. Under the existing circum-
stances. the compromise that has been
