League Objects to
Solitary Cells for
Army 'Objectors'
Punishment of Men Who
Refused to Salute Flag or
Work Called Brutal"

Charges that the methods Of correc-
ton in the disciplinary barracks OF
Governors Island are not only brutsl
but medieval were made YESTERDAY To
Secretary Of War Baker by the Ma
tional Civil Liberties Bureau throush
Roger n. Baldwin.
The punishment of three so-callci
conscientious objectors was cited as an
example OF the alleged brutal treat
ment. Undergoing sentences for twen-
ty to thirty years each, they are sad
to have been sent to solitary cells for
periods of two weeks, following Their
refusal to work, salute the flag or stand
at attention when the national anthem
was played. Only bread and water were
furnished them in this period.
One of these objectors is Carl G.
Robinson, of New York City. He was
sentenced to thirty years by court mar
tial at Camp Dix. David Eichel. Of
New York City, and Samuel Steren-
stein, of Chelsea. Mass. are the others
We are not finding fault with the
officials said Roger \. Baldwin, at the
headquarters of the bureau, 70 Fifth
Avenue, "but we do want the terribls
punishment stopped. The punishment

Baldwin were examined yesterday BY

At present there are no so-cale.
conscientious objectors in the barracks
They have been sent to Fort Leaven
worth, where the discipline is rigid an.
strictly enforced.
Colonel John T. Hunt, commandan
of the disciplinary barracks at Gov
ernor's Island, was greatly interested
in the charges made by the bureau
Explaining the situation at the bar
racks. he said:
1.-The punishment inflicted on these
so-called objectors was III full accord
ance with the regulations. They were
not singled out, but. when they vio-
lated the rules and persisted in doing
SO, the proper punishment was ac-
corded them.
Colonel Hunt stated that the As.
sistant Secretary Of War had Just com.
pleted an inspection of the barracks

August Registration
157,963, Within IS
Of CroeUdey Estimate

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Regist
ton on August 24 Of men who had
reached twentyone years since June 5
last, added 157,963 men to the nations
man-power enrolment, the provost
marshal general announced to-day
This was just forty-eight less than the
advance estimate of 15S,01i.
Most of those found available for
military service in this group will be
on the way to camp during the present
month. The remarkable closeness with
which the registration approached the
estimate was said by officials of the
provost marshal's staff to indicate that
the proportion OF slackers among
American youths is entirely negligible.
The estimate was based upon totals of
the registration of June 5, 1913. New
York registered 1891, New jersey,
1892, and Connecticut 2,2O5.

be at periods of three months.
The point is made by the committee
that the colleges of the country have
patriotlcally coopcrated with the War
Department in the task Of making of
II ,crS by turning over their facilities
to the instruction of youths in col
lcgiatc and military courses. In return
for this cooperation the educational
branch of the General Staff hopes that
the emergency will permit the nstitu-
tlons to plan on some definite pro-
grammc, such as the three months
scheme would provide.
Should the programme be approved
