Quilted in January at Columbus Bar
racks, Ohio, of raising a voucher from

and to try him now on the allegation
that he committed perjury when he
swore he was not guilty was placing

fense Seven of the eight specifica-
tons rested on the perjury charge and
a majority of the court martial sus-
tanned the motion to dismiss. Major
Lang has been on the retired list since
his two last wounds in the Chinese

a bout recovered and that he will be re-
examined with a view of restoring him
to active service.
