ANSELL TO QUIT.
Friend Of Buck Private To Resign
From Military Service.

From Military Service.
Lieut.. Col. Samuel T. Ansell, the
North Carolinian around whom the
| fight over military justice Of the army
has centered for several months past,
will resign from the army within the
next few days, says H. E. c. Bryant,
Washington correspondent to the
Charlotte Observer.
Colonel Ansell. with New York at
torney, will form a law partnership
| with offices In New York and Wash
| ington. He has been looking for Of
fee quarters in both cities for some
months. His retirement from the ar
| my, his friends here say, will open the
way for some fiery criticism of the
existing system, which he has refrain
ed from making because he was still
| subject to the army discipline.
Colonel Ansell was born at Coin
| jock, Currituck county. He is the son
| Of Henry Ansell, who was for 40 years
clerk of the court Of Currituck. He
received his early education privately
Il IlLShlSl q oASS4AAo e-S@A>N
| Harvard graduate under whom he
| studied classic English, history and
law.
| He was graduated from West Point
| in the class Of 1899 and was sent i'm
mediately to Porto Rico, where he
| served as second and first lieutenant.
From 1900 to 1902 he commanded a
company in the Philippine insurec-
ton. He served two terms Of three
| years each as instructor in law and
history at West Point.
In 1913, Colonel Ansell was assign
/ ed to the Office Of the judge advocate
/ general Of the army, as legal advisor
| to the secretary Of war in all matters
pertaining to the civil government of
/ the Philippines and Porto Rico. He
was also legal advisor to the army en-
| gineers in charge Of river and harbor
work.
He is an expert in the law pertain
| ing to navigatible weters In the Unit
| ed States and. since 1913, has repre-
sented Porto Rico anrd the Philippines
| in all cases before the United States
supreme court. His principal hobby,
however. has been the defense of en-
listed men before courtmartial and the
| civil courts. He has defended more
| enlisted men than any other man IN
| the army.
Early this year, Colonel Anselrs
criticism Of the system Of military JUS
| tice before a senate committee result
ed in his reduction from his army
| grade Of brisadier general to his pre-
war status as lieutenant colonel and
his removal as acting advocate gen.
| eral of the army and precipitated the
| law between him and General Crow
| der. the judge advocate general.
Prior to the disagreement, General
Crowder has on several occasions de-
/ clared Colonel Ansell the best lawyer
| in the army.
Colonel Ansell is to be the chief
| speaker at the annual meeting Of the
North Carolina Bar association at
Greensboro next month.

Finally the lads from my organiza-
ton got back to barracks with about
forty quarts in canteens. The stuff
was freely passed around and good
many drank literally at first. 1t was
stronger than the law however, and as
one took a big swig of it, his wind just
seemed to leave him sudden-like and
he sorter wished he had an iceberg
down his throat. Some Of them real

laid off; but the majority of 'em being
from Pennsylvania and New York
where they had been more or less used
to rye all their lives and not having
had an opportunity in some time kept
on hitting it. One lad drank seven
wine glasses Of the stuff in a couple of
hours.
Then he started to "chow" but he
didn't get there because he decided that
it would be better for his physical be-
ing to 20 to bed. That was about 4:S0
in the aftrnoon and he didn't know he
was living any more until the following
morning.
Never Again!
Scores of others soon were in var
ious and sundry states of intoxicated
bliss and the barracks looked like a
cyclone had passed through. Over In
the negro barracks there was singing
and shouting and whooping and hol-
lering throughout the night, q dozen
or so fights and all kinds Of troubles.
The following morning there were
some Of the sickest looking white and
negro soldiers around that could be
imagined. They gave one the impress
sion Of q bunch of chickens with the
sorehead, too far gone for cure.
There was plenty Of the liquor
around the next morning; but nobody
appeared to want an eye opener.
While it had kicking effect, 1t also
had a sickening effect and knowing
that they were sure to again become
sick, nobody wanted the kick. Indeed,
it was a month before the last Of that
liquor ulSdppSdlSu 1'0Ah ootAeSfNS S~1~

Came From Baltimore2
From whence came the barrel OF
LIQUOR we never knew. 1t had probably
been in the water for several years,
the sole survivor Of a ship torpedoed
early in the war by the Hun. Maybe
it was hoisted overheard intentionally
by the sailors of some ship who having
tasted it or some just like 1t, knew
how mean it was. The barrel was old
and covered with barnacles. The only
word on the barrel we could distin-
guish was Baltimore" where perhaps
it was made. There was one man in
the company, however from Baltimore
and he was among those who partook
literally of the liquor. The following
day he solemnly swore that 1t came
not from his native city because he
was sure that there was no man or
men in all that great town so mean as
to sell such vile stuff to anybody.
