ATTACKS ARMY COURTS
Senator Chamberlain Says Many
Sentences Are Unjust.
Declares Courtmartial Proceedings
Assist in Making Anarchists
Of Many Youths.

New York, March 12.-Describing
certain courtsmartiai sentences in the
American army as things that make
Bolsheviki of our young men," Sena-
tor George E. Chamberlain, chairman
of the Senate Military Affairs commit
tee, sharply criticised courtsmartial
procedure in an address before the
United League Of America here.
These sentences are imposed abso-
lutely without any system as in the
administration of the criminal laws of
the land" he said, land they are really
imposed at the order of the command
ing officer, because If the court makes
a ruling which is unpopular with the
commanding officer he will order the
court reconvened and in some cases
issues instructions to it,"
Referring to long sentences which
had been imposed for slight infractions
of the rules, Senator Chamberlain said
that these boys know that an injustice
has been done them and it will not
increase their respect for the govern
ment.

Record Cold Spells.

Terribly cold spells have been e1-
perienced in Europe at various times.
During the year 401 the Black sea was
entirely frozen over; in 452 the
Danube was blocked, and an army
passed across it, while the Dardanelles
was completely ice-bound during the
Christmas of 642. The snow lay in
drifts of nearly hundred feet in
height. The Adriatic sea suffered two
centuries later, and remained frozen
for some considerable time. In 1898
Italy's river courses were blocked with
ice and during the same period the
Rhine could not be navigated. Severe
winters were the lot of those living
in England during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, the Thames
having been ice-bound on more than
one occasion.

Weekly Health Talks
A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
BY VALENTINE MOTT, M. d.

It is almost impossible to give list Of
the endless diseases that follow Indigestion.
Perhaps whole column in this newspa-
per would be required to print them all.
You eat to keep alive-to supply blood and
flesh and bone and muscle and brain. It
is easy to see that if your food is not d.
gested and taken up by the delicate or
gans and distributed where it is needed, a
disease of some sort is sure to come. Dys-
pepsia is common symptom, and so are
liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
,atarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
ous things. And all these disorders arise
because the food is not properly digested
in the stomach. 1t is plain even to a
child that relief and cure are to be had
,nly by setting up a healthy condition in
The stomach. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
T., many years ago combined a number
If vegetable growths into temperance
remedy for Indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. It is probably
The most efficacious discovery ever made
IN medicine, for the list of people all over
the world who have had their countless ills
overcome by DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes an amazing total of thou
sands. &..-
1 know of no advice better than this:
Begin home treatment today with this
good vegetable medicine. 1t will show
you better than l can tell you what it will
10. When taking Golden Medical Dis
,overy, you can rest assured of one very
important thing-it contains neither alco-
hol nor opiates. There is nothing in it
but standard roots and herbs that possess
curative properties of high order. A
safe medicine is the only kind you can
afford to take.

new COLLEGE COURSE
Every University Soon Will Be
Teaching Aeronautics.
Flying Training Is to Be Given During
Summer at Camps For
Student Officers.

New York, March 1O.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy, in an address at the aeronautical
exposition in Madison Square Garden,
declared the American people should
compel the government to adopt def
mite policy toward control of the air
and see that the United States takes
its rightful place in the airplane
world"
Colonel B. F. Castle, of the army di-
vision of military aeronautics, another
speaker, said that the War department
is planning to inaugurate at every col
lege in the United States an aeronau-
tical course identical with the ground
school course given to aviation stu
dents training during the war. Flying
training, he added, would be given dur
ing the summer at camps for student
officers. -l-.-..
The army will need about 1000 pi-
lots, $50 airplanes and balloon observ-
ers and 100 engineering officers every
year to replace men leaving the serv-
i've, he said.

COURT UPHOLDS
DEBS' SENTENCE
Conviction of Socialist Leader
Sustained Unanimously by
Highest Tribunal.
MUST SERVE 10 YEARS
constitutionality of Enlistment Clause
of Espionage Act of 1917 Is Upheld
by Decision-convicted on
Ohio Speech.

Washington, March 1.-THE conyic-
ton Of Eugene v. Debs, Socialist lead
er, found guilty of violating the es-
pionage act through statements made
in speech at Canton, Ohio, last June,
and sentenced to 10 years in prison,
has been sustained by the supreme
court.
In deciding the case the court in
effect upheld the constitutionality Of
the so-called enlistment section of the
espionage act Of 1917. Debs had con-
tended that this violated the constitu-
tional right of free speech. r. --
Court Ruling Unanimous. r
The opinion of the court was unani-
NOUS ...r-... .sr-
AS in the case of the espionage cases
decided last week the supreme court
in its opinion again made no specific
ruling upon the constitutionality of the
espionage act as a whole. The court
based its opinion largely upon the part
of the indictment charging obstruction
of recruiting service, which was unani-
mously upheld.
Convicted Last Year.
The arrest of Debs took place June
30, 1918, at Cleveland, Ohio. He had
been indicted for violating the espion-
age act by his speech at the Ohio So
cialist convention at Canton about two
weeks before. He was tried in federal
district court at Cleveland, before
Judge d. c. Westenhaver.
Debs was indicted on four counts.
charging him with the following acts:
Caused and attempted to incite in
subordination, disloyalty and mutiny
and refusal of duty in the military and
naval forces of the United States.
"Obstructed the recruiting and en-
listment service.
Provoked, melted and encouraged
resistance to the government.
Opposed the cause of the United
States war with Germany"
Free Speech Plan Fails.
Debs, testifying in his own defense,
admitted saying the things attributed
to him, and relied solely on the con-
stitutional guaranty of free speech
81 have no dispute with the evidence
presented by the government" he said.
Il would not take back word of what
believe right to save myself from the
penitentiary.
Il deny nothing, l repudiate nothing,
/ retract nothing"
The jury found Debs guilty on three
of the counts, and Sept. IA sentence
was imposed by Judge Westenhaver.
He gave Debs 10 years on each of the
three counts, but made the sentences
run concurrently.
Il do not regard the idealism of the
defendant as expressed by himself as
any higher, purer, nobler than the
idealism of thousands of young men
have seen marching down the streets
of Cleveland to defend our country"
said the Judge in imposing sentence

Name K.

Shall the man or the woman who or
crates q tractor be known as tractor
ator, a tractorist or a tractiOneer!
That is a question an answer to which
is desired by large numbers Of stu
dents at the tractor schools now being
established in various parts of the
United States. Tractor operations
have been carried on in somewhat
hit-or-miss fashion thus far, but now
the industry is being stabilized and
permanent terms of expression are
needed. Farming, in it's relation to
tractors, has apparently been set for-
ward a good ten years by the war.
Tractor production has outstripped the
training Of operators. Every farm boy
was brought up to manage horse. but
this big steel beast must be handled
in quite a different way. State tractor
schools provide short cut for turning
out tractor operators, whatever they
are to be called.-Christian Science

| NEW YORK MADE RAT TIGHT
Phrase Means That Enemy Agents and
Spies Were Driven From Great
United States Port.

'The port Of New York is rat
tight" This Is the phrase in the yer.
nacular of the sea which is going
around the world to every quarter OF
the globe since the customs intelll-
gence bureau was organized in New
York q year ago. Paraphrasec In
the speech of the average American
1t means that it has been Impossible
Cor an alien enemy or spy, any arti-
Gle of contraband, or any secret mes
sage or forbidden information thai
might benefit the cause of the enemy,
to come or go out of this port without
being detected by the vigilant eyes
of Uncle Sans guardians, a New YORK
Pittsburgh dispatch states.
More than IS per cent of the i'm
mense volume of munition shipments
sent from the United States to Europe
passed through the port of New YORK,
which has been the most important
war port in the world. Moreover, II
has been the main gateway through
which travellers have passed either IN
going to allied or neutral countries "
coming from such countries to the
United States. Because Of this vol
ume Of travel and traffic New York
has been the spot from which enemy
agents have worked most assiduously
to send information and supplies to
enemy countries. And it is because
Of these conditions that 1t has required
more force, more determination AMI
constant scrutiny to afford the protec-
ton which the vast interests centering
here have received.
The best evidence that these con-
ditions have been adequately met Is
found in the motto Of Seamen 'quote1
above: New York is rat tight" 1t
sums succinctly the full measure c1
value which has been rendered to
allied nations by an agency of the gov
eminent which has worked so quietly
here that many citizens even have not
known Of it's existence. This agency
is the. customs intelligence bureau, oe-
ganized ut the beginning of last year
by the collector of the port. Up 20
the time that America entered the
great world war persons desiring TO
travel abroad found no trouble in leaV-
ing the United States. But with the
opening of the war the customs
branch of the government became an
agency of grave Importance. And the
work they have accomplished without
any question has saved many lives cnd
millions of dollars.
