PENALTYFORLARCENy

Maj Gen. Frederick Funston, com
manding the Southern department, with
headquarters at Fort Sam Houston
Texas, has called the attention of his
command 10 the laxity observed in
some instances in the trial of soldiers
accused Of larceny and, the like. He
says; -
1.-THE examination Of records of trials
by special COURTS. martial at these
headquarters disclOses convictions by
this court Of offenders charged with
acts of larceny or similar offenses in
volving moral turpitnde, The, refer,
cnce by post commanders Of charges
alleging acts of personal dishonesty TO
an inferior court which is statutorily
without Jurisdiction TO impose SEN
tence including dishonorable discharge
is deemed INAPPROPRIATE, does not re-
ceive the sanction of the department
commander, is in conflict with the we'll
settled policy Of the war department
forbidding the enlistment or retention
in the service of q thief, and suggests
the propriety Of giving general ex,
preston to the views to be properly
entertained as to such offenders.
at is believed that no encourage
ment should be given at any time TO
policy that will induct into or hold
in the service a thief, association with
whom would thus be forced upon a self,
respecting enlisted personnel. Every
opportunity should be grasped to serve
notice not only to the public in gen.
eral, but to the enlisted personnel, that
the standard expected Of those in the
military service shall not be lowered
by permitting the presence among
them of known criminals, This would
seem to be especially important at this
time when special efforts are being
made to work back men into the serv
ice who have been guilty of purely mil
itary offenses not involving moral tur'
pitude.

of the Gulf Of Kola.
The distance between Kola and Eka.
terina is about thirty five miles. In the
winter time the ice prevents vessels

alf miles. In the harbor of Ekaterina
lee is seldom seen. except for a short
period around the last of February OF
early in March, and then only during
winters Of unusual severity.
Near Gulf Stream
Ekaterina enjoys the advantage of
being near to the gulf stream. That
stream on crossing the western ocean
passes close to the North Cape and
back lashes, as it were, to the eastward
along the Thurman coast, which latter
name is the one given to the Arctic
shore Of the province of Kola, The eff.

terina is an open port the year round
Archangel, in the White Sea, is closed
to navigation early in October and is
seldom open until some time in May.
During last winter Russia made
great efforts to keep Archangel open by
means of ice-breaking vessels of the Er
mack class, but without more than par,
tial success. For number of months
of the winter of l9l4-l5 Archangel was
closed to all navigation. There never
was time when Russia felt more
keenly than the present the necessity
of having direct and sure communica
ton with the western seas outside the
Baltic.
1t Is expected that with the inaugura
ton of the new service communication
can be had between Ekaterina and
Petrograd in twenty-four hours time
The distance is about 900 miles.
