WAR JUSTICE IS
NOT OVER HARSH
Court-Martial Sentences Nearly
Always Suspended in the
French Army
By Associated Press

Paris, April 20.-Two- thirds of the
court-martial cases at the war front
and Immediately behind the front
have developed from either drunken
ness or fear, sometimes from both,
hol, who has had more than two
years experience as counsel for the
defense in such cases. Drum head
court martials, with summary execu-
tions of spices and deserters, have
been far less frequent than might be
ina gined. Not only have sentences to
death been infrequent, but. extraordi-
nary as it appears, the verdicts of JUS
tice at the front are seldom executed,
Thegeneral in command of the sec
tor has the power of suspending all
court-martial sentences until the end
of the war. and he exercises that pre-
rogative nearly always, even in cases
of second offenses. The only penalties
Immediately applied are those of
death and punishment that involves
military degradation. Even in these

his request is sometimes accorded aft
er certain lapse of time.
Sentences to prison and hard labor
are few. 1t is considered absurd to
lodge in prison rugged soldiers whose
misdeeds would thus have the effect
of relieving them from fighting while
we'll behaved soldiers are rislSing their
lives. That is why military jurisdic-
ton at the front has become essential
ly jurisdiction of honor.
More Latitude Given
The changed conditions of warfare
have developed situations to which old
martial laws are not adaptable. A
much disputed point is: When has an
infraction of discipline or a crime
been committed "in the presence OF
the enemy" an aggravating circum-
stance under military Jurisprudence
In trench warfare the old definitions
of presence of the enemy have be-
come obsolete; great latitude is now
given for leniency on this point and
it is exercised in all but the most
fragrant cases.
Under the old martial laws the sus-
pension of sentences for first offenses
was not obligatory but was simply a
matter of discretion on the part OF
the general commanding. Amend
ments passed by Parliament in the
course of the present war make such
extensions of sentence obligatory for
all cases excepting those of capital
offense.
Drunkenness, the most frequent of
all infractions of law and discipline,
is punished by Imprisonment from two
months upward. -
A frequent and effective means of
defense invoked by counsel for ac-
cused soldiers is the citation for gal
liant conduct on the battlefield, 1t

Australia Does Rushing
Business Selling Europe
Jack Rabbits For Meat

Melbourne, Australia, April 20.-
Rabbit-trapping and expectation of re-
frigerated' rabbits has experienced a
boom as a result of the war. Hereto
fore the rabbits have been a curse to
Australia and millions of pounds sterl-
ing have been expended in an effort
to eradicate them.
Lately, however. the commonwealth
authorities have been taking an ac-
tive interest in rabbits for consump-
tion both in Australia and abroad. The
view that the rabbit is pest which
should be eXtirpated is not being en-
couraged. Steps have been taken by
the government to have the poisoning
of the animals suspended, and trap
pers are being urged to maintain the
output for consumption.
Undoubtedly this policy is a result
of the war strain upon food supplies
in Great Britain and among the other
Entente allies. A month or two ago
the British government notified the
Commonwealth government that 1t
had decided to buy the whole of the
surplus of Australian refrigerated rab-
bits for the season of 1917. The trans
action will involve about S2,500,00O.
Last season Australia exported 10,-
100000 panrs of rabbits, showing the
extent of the supply which Great
Britain has contracted to take.

EXPLAINS ARM 7

lily spared from the prosecution of
the other activities which the
country must engage in and to
which it must devote great deal
of its best energy and capacity.
The volunteer system does not
do this. When men choose them
r selves they sometimes choose
without due regard to their other
responsibilities. Men may come
from the farms or from the
mines or from the factories or
centers of business who ought not
to come, but ought to stand back
of the armies in the field and see
that they get everything that
they need and that the people of
the country are sustained in the
meantime.
THE principle of the selective
draft, in short, has at its heart
this idea, that there is universal
obligation to serve and that a
public authority should choose
those upon whom the obligation
of military service shall rest, and
also in a sense choose those who
shall do the rest of the nations
work. The bill, if adopted, will
do more, / believe, than any
other single instrumentality to
create the impression of universal
military service in the army and
out of it, and if properly admins
tered will be a great source of
stimulation.
Those who feel that we are
turning away altogether from the
voluntary principle seem to for
get that some 100000 men will
be needed to fill the ranks of the
regular army and the National
Guard and that very great field
of individual enthusiasm lies
there wide open"

BY associated Press
Washington, April 20.-As one step
toward meeting opposition in Con-
greSs ia the administrations army
plans, President Wilson yesterday sent
a letter to Representative Helvering
of Kansas, explaining what is meant
by selective draft, and expressing ear
nest hope that the bill drafted by the
War Department would be passed.
The letter said:
Il welcome the inquiry of your
letter of April 19, because l have
realized the truth of what you
say from my own observations,
namely, that what is meant to be
understood by the selective draft
is not generally understood
throughout the country.
The process of the draft is, I
think, very clearly set forth in
the bill drafted by the War De-
partment and which 1 so earnest
ly hope the Congress will adopt,
but it is worth while to state the
idea which underlies the bill a
little more fully.
II took occasion the other day
in an address to the people of
the country to point out the
many forms of patriotic service
that were open to them and to
emphasize the fact that the mill
tary part of the service was by
no means the only part, and per-
haps, all things considered, not
the most vital part. Our object
is a mobilization of all the pro-
ductive and active forces of the
nation and their development to
the highest point of cooperation
and efficiency and the idea of the
selective draft is that those
should be chosen fo- service in
the army who can be most read

Drinking Not Encouraged
in the British Armies

London, April 20.-In reply to an
appeal from temperance societies that
"teetotalers serving in the army should
not be given orders which involve the
breaking of their pledge" Arthur
Henderson, labor member of the war
cabinet, sent a statement on behalf
of the cabinet, saying:
LAS regards the army. both from
what 1 have seen and what 1 have
heard, 1 am satisfied that the stand
ard of sobriety and good conduct
among the men generally is higher
than it has ever been before, and
compares favorably with that pre-
vailing among the civil population.
There is no reason to fear that a
young man of good principles and
careful training will be exposed to
special temptations as a soldier, or
that he will find himself unsupported
in standing to his convitions."
