Not the Only Negro Army Omcer.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Etr. II
seems almost hypercritical to hnd any
fault with the full and fair account Of
the career Of Major Charles Young.
published IN THE STR of SUNDAY. April
Q, but tho fact remains that there ara
two other negro commissioned Officers
in the United States army besides tho
subject Of the sketch. exclusive of chap
lsins. OF course this Ia an infihtesinal
representation for an element constitute
ing n tenth OF the population, but the
peculiar policy excluding negroes from
West Point accounts in some measure
for this disparity.
The two officers omitted are Lieuten-
ant y. o.. Davis and Lieutenant J. A.
Green. both OF whom were commits
stoned from the ranks after successfully
passing the required examination.

ment, inrrmities Of purpose and TEN.
peramental defects which need not
now be catalogued should continue to

familiar saying, Don't swap horses

there be general acquiescence In the

Common sense In the Courts.

In the midst Of the world war the
British Parliament has found time to
effect a reform In English criminal
procedure amounting almost to a e
olution. The chief purpose Of the
new indictments act. which became
operative April 1. is to prevent an
accused person who has been found
guilty from escaping the penalty of
his act through a mere legal bubble.
No longer is the omission from an
Indictment of an inconsequential word
70 cause n miscarriage of Justice. Pc
dantic devotion to t%echnicalltIes IL a
thing Of the past.
The enactment OF such a law In
London was nOt needed to make n
drastic reform Of American Judicial
procedure. based on the English
standard, highly desirable. Already
we had much to learn from the Eng.
lish courts, notably the elimination
Of extraneous matter from testimony
and the prevention Of long and need.
less delays In the hearing of cases
and the imposition Of penalties.
But while in this country WI have
dom little more than discuss the nd.
Visibility Of such improvements. Eng
land has taken a long step FORWARD
from her already advanced position.
The new law provides that indict.
uaents themselves shall he based on
common sense. Figures and All
hreviations may be used for express
ing anything which il commonly ex-
pressed thereby and, what Is more
to the point:
The statement OF offence shall de-
scribe the Offence shortly. In ordinary
language. avoiding as far as possible the
use of technical tcrns, and without
necessarily stating al the essential de.
tails OF the Offence
Indeed, section u imposes penalties
10 cases "wherc 1t appears to the
court that an indictment contains un-
necessary matter or is of unnecessary
length OF Is materially defective Ia
any respect"
The new form Of Indictment is SGT
forth as follows.
"sTArEMENr or ofFgEcl.
