The general also approved sug-
gestion that offences of common law
character might be referred to the
Federal courts, except in actual war
zones. but was positive that no such
transfer Of strictly military cases
should be made. The army would be
glad to get rid of all trials for any
thing but military ofronses, he thought
so far as the existing military JUS
tice system goes. General Menoher said
there is no escape from the personal
element among the officers applying IT,
1t rs so bound ZIP With tho question Of
general d'scipliue, Ic added, there are
no means Of djvorcinE authority ovei
courts martial from the functions Of
military command.
General McAohar told Of his own ex
pcrience In sending cnsce back TO the
courts for rcconsiderntion. 1t was the
rule in these circumstances, not the
exception, he said, for the courts to
adhere to their original findings and
sentences.
Colonel Charles D Heron, who com
manded the 3l3th Field Artillery and
later was chief of staff Of the 18th
Division, also told the committee that
the present military system was ade
quatc, but that it's success depended
upon the intelligence Of the officers.
Courts martial. he said, were much like
whippings for children. At times they
might be necessary, but often they ere
hected upon the intelligence and in
genuity Of the parent"
Army officers felt it essential that
justice be given the men, Colonel Her

upon it, and morale was what won
battles. Some cases of seemingly ex-
cessive sentences within his expert
ence, he added, were easily explained
by the facts. Ten or fifteen years i'm
prisonment for a weeks absence with
out leave certainly appeared heavy,
he asserted, but the cases of this
kind he had noted in France were
those of men whose week of absence
kept them out of fight into which
their unit was going. The rear lines
men wandering up and down in search
of their companies, but never quite
finding them. These were "skulkcr"
cases, which formed a separate prob
lem, he thought.

the number of these cases actually
was small.

the AID Division,' he added.
Colonel Heron told of another
heavy sentence in his experience. A
soldier of his regiment vas sentenced
to three years and dishonorable dis
charge for stealing 500 from a COM
rade. In that case, however, the cul-
prit had addressed letter for com
rade who could not read or write and
wished to send $40 to his widowed
mother. The man who was punished

Engineman Friedley, in January.

The report called attention TO efforts

WASHINGTON, April 15--The pres

no radical alteration in the opinion of
Major General Charles T. Menoher,
commander of the 42d (Rainbow) Di-
vision throughout its active service
during the war. Appearing to-day be-
tore the committee of the American
Bar Association, which is conducting
an inquiry, General Mcnoher said that
with some elaboration of regulations
TO make the system more easily under

experience, saw no necessity of chang
ing court martial practice and rro-
cedure.
II do not recall" he said, chat in
this controversy it has ever been
claimed that any innocent man was
found guilty. With regard to the length
OF sentences, however, it is another
matter.

sentences would be made after the

Ten Women Missing;
Alleged Fiancc Held
Lessee of Walled Villa Who
Was Friend of Many
Widows Arrested

PARIS, April 15.-The disappearance
of a number of women from suburb
Of Paris has led to the arrest Of Henri
Laudru, who, Paris detectives say, may
be able to solve the mystery of their
continued absence from home
The missing women were acquain-
tances Of Laudru, who is said to have
made practice of becoming engaged
to widows. The police authorities sax
that from papers found in Laudru's
possession they believe he had at leas,
ten fiancces who cannot be found
Under the name of George Dupont.
Laudru rented in 1915 lonely villa in
the outskirts of the village of Gam
bass, on the border of the Rambouil-
let Forest. The villa is almost sur
rounded by walls and is 500 yards from
the nearest house. The allegation is
made that Laudru only paid brief
visits to the villa, accompanied bv
women, none of whom were seen to
leave the place.
One woman who visited the house
took with her two small dogs. the
bodies of which we're found Sunday
under a heap of leaves. Thcv had
been strangled by cord Womcn's
dresses, revolver, a rifle. blod-
stained mattress and cord similar to
that with which the dog was strangled d
are alleged to have been found in the
villa.
Laudru, according to statements
made by the detectives, admitted hav-
ing used various names because he had
been imprisoned several times. He do
med, the authorities say, that he did
away with any Of the women, but said

LOWER PRICES FOR

State, City and County Authorities
Urged by Attorney General Palmer to
Cooperate - Surplus Blankets to be
Sold by War Department

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Problems of
the high cost of living continued today
to absorb the chief attention of congress
and government authorities. While con-
gress went ahead with consideration OF
various bills and suggestions for legislative
relief Attorney General Palmer continued
negotiations with representatives of his
department and state, city and county
agents throughout the country for cooper
alton to bring about lower prices for the
necessities of life.
Coincident with the announcement by
the war department that prices of surplus
army food would be re-adjusted from time
to time to conform with reductions in the
retail market and similar commodities,
which was taken here as an indication
that retail dealers already were beginning
to feel the effects of the governments ae-
tion in placing the vast quantities OF
stores on the markets, it was announced
that the war department also would offer
to the public 100000 surplus blankets.
These include practically all grades and
range in price from Sc for the best all
wool to lbs for reclaimed products Sale
and distribution of the blankets will be
conducted through postoffice and munich
pal channels on the same plans that food
stuffs are being handled.

system of government regulation; re
turn of the railroads to their owners
as soon as remedial legislation can be
enacted and no extension of the period

railroads. in the public interest, when

country shall, is possible, be served by
more than one system.
