At the. behest of Senator's Simmons
and Overlnan, who called on him Thurs
day. Attorney General McReynolds has
notified four Republican officeholders
in North Carolina that they must 60.
So far as has been developed, there Is
no reason for their removal except
politics and the desire Of the Admin
istratioE to defer to the wishes of the
North Carolina Senators.
H. +. Seawell and A e. Holton, dis
trict attorneys. and Marshal Claudius
Dockery and Marshal Logan are the
officials removed. They have been noti-
fed that their terms viii end on De-
cember Is. In the western district Of
North Carolina this will be right in the
middle Of a term Of court.
The Attorney General asked the off,
cials named TO resign, but they de-
clined. on the ground that they had
been lawfully appointed for four years,
md their terms were not ended; also
that they had properly carried out all

FORT MYER SHOWS
GOOD Department
Judge Advocate General Reports
Only $50 Trials in a Year,
With 739 on Duty.

Depending on the standard of COM
parison selected, the conduct of the
soldiers stationed at Fort Myer. Va.
is either very good or very bad Plac-
ed beside the behavior chart of the
enlisted men, say at Fort Bliss, Tex,
the record of the men at Fort Myer
looks like the school report of a

Christmas. Contrasted with the show
ing of the soldiers at Fort Armstrong,
Hawaii, or jefferson Barracks. Mo-,
there is nothing about the local sit
uation to call for an extra supply OF
wings.
There's no going behind the figures.
ages computed, in the annual report
Of the judge advocate Of the army,
made public today. Take Fort Myer,
for example. There, during the last
year, an average enlisted strength OF
73s men was present on the last day
of each month. In that time, there
was q total Of $50 trials by summary
courts for various offenses. In other
words, the percentage OF trials Tor
offenses during the year at Fort
Myer was 80.
Many Trials at Fort Bliss.
At Fort Bliss, the percentage was
12s, based on the fact that with an
average of GIG men on duty, there
were 761 trials. At Fort Armstrong,
the percentage was with an average
OF "a men stationed at the post. and
at jefferson Barracks there were 3o6
trials with an average Of 1,050 sta !
toned at the barracks.
On the whole the department showing |
of the army, according to the judge |
advocates report, is not the worst in |
the last five years, although the total |
number of trials by summary court in I,
1912 was t6 per cent OF the average
against IS per cent in 1912. and 43 per i
cent in 1911 In 1910 the percentage was
81: In 1909. 81, and in 1908, SO.
One Of the offenses causing most con-
Germ to the army, according to the
Judge advocate, is committed by class
Of citizens which finds it more profit
able to beat the United States Govern
ment than to beat the railroads.
