Disciplinary Methods Is
Proposed Would Change

Detention Barracks---It
Greatly Affects Military
Prisoners.

Washington, Feb. 9-Revision of the
articles of Wharf.-The military law of
the United states that has stood I'M
changed since 1806-is proposed in a
bill passed without a dissenting vote
by the Senate today designed to make
the soldier who is guilty of purely mil
itary offences, an object of reforma-
tory discipline instead of a peniten-
tiary convict with the criminal stamp
upon him.
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, would
cease to be a federal penitentiary I'M
der the terms of the bill, and hereaf-
ter would be known as the United
States military detention barracks.
The prison would be modelled after
the English army disciplinary insti-
tuition at Aldershot and no soldier or
civilian convicted of an offence punish
able by penal solitude might hereaf-
ter be confined there.
Military prisoners under suspended
sentence quartered in the detention
barracks would be organized into mil
itary commands and their training
kept up, where prison conduct war

of obsolete and inserting provisions

less drastic treatment of military Of

"The Day Of Great Things"

The president of the United States
will make no campaign speeches. IN
an address to the people as simple
and elegant in it's English as it was
forceful and irresistible in its logic,
the chief executive outlines his plans
for the immediate future.
This is the day of great things,
and the president, actuated by the
high spirit of patriotism which has
dominated his actions ever since he
assumed the guidance of the ma
tion's affairs, is determined that the
country shall not suffer through ey'
en- a temporary diversion from its
interests.
President Wilson has been tried
as perhaps no president since Abra'
ham Lincoln. He has been forced
to put in the background the most
sacred personal affairs that he might
serve the nation to the utmost OF
his mental ability and physical
strength. He was not permitted even
time for the expression of grief over
the loss of his best beloved, which
falls to the lot of the humblest cit
izen. Grim duty beckoned him and
he answered.
Now, all his energies are being
bent toward saving his country from
! the snares into which she nigh
easily fall through incompetency
Politics fades into insignificance IL
view of the weighty things which are
transpiring in Europe, and whicl
indirectly affect the United States
President Wilson believes in per
sonal service and self-sacriflce, :
necessary. To that end he IS max
| ing politics subservient to the grea
questions which daily clam0r for so
| luton.
The presidents Appreciated Of The
eternal fitness of things VII be ap
preciated by friend and foe alike. 4
is a relief to know that in ;hesC
days of stress and strain tns petit
ness of politics is not to be airet
by the chief executive of the United
States, and that personal ambition
is not to have precedence over ser
vice to country-The Mcr der
