FACE FIRING SQUAD

WSHINGTON, Reb. %. ~ ON
GERS of the judge advocate generals
office said Friday that any national
army soldiers charged with plot
ting, treason would be tried by mill
itary court martial and if found
guilty would be liable to the death
penalty. No report on the arrests
at Camp Lewis had reached the
Judge advocate general.
In the ordinary course the divi-
sion commander would make no re-
port on such cases until the mat
ter had been carefully investigated
and in case definite charges were
dled, the actual trial Of those con-
cerned had been completed.
Action to be taken depends en-
tirely upon whether the men under
arrest were apprehended while still
in the military service or after they
had been discharged previously on
grounds of holding enemy sympa-
thy. If still in the service they
would be dealt with under the mil
itary law.
If, however, the plotters were dis
charged from the army and the
military authorities would simply
report the case TO the department
of justice and then hold the pris-
oners for the disposition of that
