A SIEGE IN THE EAST, ALSO

situation in the eastern arena of the
war, is quoted as saying that both
armies have now dug into intrench-
ments and are deadlocked much af-
ter the fashion of the western bel
ligerents. He adds that it is quite
possible that the war, in these cir
cumstances, may last for years, and
that it is up to the military authori-
ties to make sure that an earlier
finish is effected because long con-
f1ict will impose such heavy sacri-
fees of both human and economic
stocks.
1t is not cheering piece Of news,
if it is justified by the facts. On
the western front, since the battle
of the Marne, the world has seen
men by tens of thousands sacrificed
to the futile effort, first of one side
then of the other, to break through
and effect a really worthwhile ad-
vance. But neither side has achieved
anything to compensate for the
losses suffered. Unless some su-
preme genius shall arise with capac-
ity to develop a new form of grand
strategy adapted to conditions of
present-day war there is little to
suggest that the great coup can be
effected at all.
1t would be interesting to have
some military expert or school of
experts give careful consideration
to the question of what Hannibal or
Napoleon would do in the circum-
stances and with the instruments
that must be dealt with in the pres
ent war. Either Hannibal or Ma
poleon might be fairly expected to
have some big ideas of continent
wide strategy applicable even in a
day of railroads, dreadnaughts, aero
planes, machine guns, and battle
lines as wide as an empire. There
is some justification for the feeling,
and many unprofessional observers
have it, that the old strategy needs
adaptation to new conditions, in a
more generous measure than it has
thus far had it. The military meth
DDS of today show strikingly the in
fluence of the Boer war experience
and of the campaigns in Manchuria
Yet it may be doubted whether those
campaigns produced so much really
adaptable to present conditions ir
Europe, as might be learned by the
study of our American civil war
There is some temptation to suspect
that if Napoleon could be reincar.
mated today in the place of Joffre
he would busy himself studying the
plans of the Grant campaigns
against Richmond, and the Lee dis.
positions that Grant had to confront
while it is equally possible that il
Napoleon were placed in the boots Of
the Grand Duke Nicholas, managing
the Russian assault on Hungary, he
would turn to the Atlanta campaign
and the march to the sea for his best
models.
War on a continental scale has
not been known to Europe since Ma
poleon; that is, since railroads were
built. But war on continenta
scale was very familiar to the gen
Grafton of Grant and Lee; and these
men handled it on a continenta
scale. They did not bind themselves
to the methods of their predecessors
any more than Napoleon bound him
self to the methods of Caesar O.
Gcnghis Khan. At least it is diff
cult to convince oneself that any o
these old masters of the military ar
would confess that the war of toda!
had dug itself into a stalemate
They would be expected, at least, t.
devise some new procedure tina
would dig it out.

Term in PRISON
Continued from Page u

to serve five years. Sentence was
/ pronounced under the indeterminate
sentence Law, which provides max
imum penalty Of 10 years in cases oil
! this nature.
Prior to the pronouncing of sen.
tence, City Attorney Brown said, In
substance:
May II please the court. the prose.
cution feels that the sentences about
/ TO be imposed upon this defendant
upon HIS several pleas Of guilty should
be most substantial, and by substantial
mean a substantial term OF impris-
/ onment.
1.-THE law provides a penalty of i'm
prisonment in cases of this kind not
to exceed 10 years at hard labor, or
by fine not to exceed i've times thu
amount OF the money embezzled.
The defendant in these cases Is not
the young, immature man that Hogs
was, nor Is he the old man of 81
years of age that Louis Abrams was
when, upon their pleas Of guilty. they
were sentenced by this court to pay
fines of $1,000 each.
Nor has this defendant. as ! am
informed and believe. made good a
single cent of the property embezzled.
whereas. in the cases of Hogs and
Abrams, complete restitution was
made
1T may be that. as a strict principle
of law. the matter Of restitution should
not enter into the question Of sentence
but II always has and | believe always
will influence the court to some ex-
tent In the passing of sentence.
-This defendant for years, as clerk
in the circuit court, has been In q po-.
sition to become familiar with the adj
ministration of criminal law, and to
know full well the serious conse-
quences of taking and spending other
peoples money and 1t cannot be said
that the example OF the penalties i'm
posed IN the Hoogs and Abrams cases
influenced this defendant In any Of
HIS embezzlements. for the reason that
this defendant committed these en-
bezzlements long prior to and before
these sentences Of $1,000 each were,
imposed.
This defendant knew just as well
as your honor knows, as know and
as his counsel knows, that the maxi
mum term Of imprisonment for EN-.
bezzlement of $1,000 or more was 10
years at hard labor.
The entertainments of the Egan
property by this defendant covered a
period of several years. They were g.
series Of embezzlements committed by
this defendant with his eyes wide open
and knowing the fearful risk he ran
by SO doing.
Under an these circumstances. It.
seems to the prosecution that II ever
q case of embezzlement deserved, JUS
titled and called for most severe and
substantial term Of imprisonment, this.
Ia the case.

JUDGE DEFENDS
LIGHT FINES OF
CROOK GAMBLERS

Directing strongly to the intimation
that the gamblers arrested in the New
Allangton hotel had gotten off easily.
Judge Monsarrat said today that he
thought the penalty was ample
Three hundred dollars is q heavy
fine" Judge Monsarrat remarked, "and
that was the penalty Johnson paid.
The prosecuting attorney asked for a
heavy penalty and thought $500 was
enough johnson had some crooked
dice and lot of gambling parapher-
MALTA, but 1t was not being used in the
game raided. As a matter of fact.
Johnson was merely playing in the
game, just like the men who we're fin
ed $25, and the heavy penalty imposed
was because the gambling outfit was
found In his room. Corbett, am in
formed, was not really the man be-
hind the game in room 10, but never
theless he was fined $3.50.

in town it might be different. But
