commend the system which he admin
istered."
The difficulty with this code, Col
onel Ansell said, "is that it does not
contemplate that a court martial
shall be court doing justice ac-
cording to well established principles
and independently of all personal
power. On the contrary, it regards
the court martial simply as the right
hand of the commanding officer to aid
him in the maintenance of discipline.
"Under this system an officer be-
longs to a caste-is a thing apart.
Any officer can prefer charges against
a man and at his will can really sue
coed in getting him tried. The sta. tie
requires no preliminary investigation,
and such as is required by the regu-
lation is not thorough and effective.
"The penalties awarded are shock
ingly harsh, and | think that every
body, if everybody would cceak
frankly and helpfully, must be heart
lily ashamed of them," said Colonel
Ansell.
"This old system oup1t to be
changed at once" he added. at ought
to be changed to accord with the prin-
ciples of our government, to accord
with the view that soldier is not the
personal retainer of an officer, but is
citizen, with rights as such. The
less we regard soldier as serf and
the more as a citizen, the greater a
soldier must be-"

Memorial Day Proclamation
lRY the Governorl

Each year as Memorial Day comes
around, we are glad to pay homage
to the brave men, living and dead. who
by their splendid achievements nearly
six decades ago, saved this nation
from disruption. Their heroic deeds
will never die. Their memories will
be cherished while the Republic lasts;
for in the hour of their country's
need they left their homes and loved
ones and went forth TO do battle for
the life of the Union Our debt To
them can never be paid but il is our
high privilege to hold these men and
their achievements in lasting remem-
brance and honor.
Again. two years ago, our free in
situations and our national ideals
were menaeed by fierce and power
full foe. Our young men betook them
selves in thousands to the training
camps and later crossed the seas I'd
uphold on foreign soil the honor of
the flag. With fortitude and a val
or beffiting the sons and the grand
sons of those patriots Of an. ea~l;ey
day. they grandly bore their part in
the struggle Now they are coming
back to US, but not all: and through
our proud Joy today. as we greet the
returning hosts, there runs a note
of sadness. We mourn with those
who mourn for the noble fellows who
will not come back to us. God helm
us all so to live, so to keep and guard
our birth-right Of true freedom. that
we may be worthy Of the great sac
rifice they made for US. -
Therefore. that we may pay a tri-
butte Of respect and esteem to the
surviving veterans of the Civil war
the Spanish-American war and the
recent World war. and honor the
memory of the men who gave up their
lives in all these wars. I. Albert E.

ding players in the boys doubles were
clearly outclassed by Ionia's more ex-

circumstances made a good showing
and we expect some great things
from them in the tennis tournaments
of the years to come. This match
was followed by the girls doubles in
which Mildred Kramer and Maudk
Bignell represented Belding. The girls
played a splendid game and won by
good score over Ionia. This is the
first time that the girls have won
in the tennis tournament and hope
to make as good a record in the
tournaments yet to be played.
