WRATH
 STIRRED UP BY
 TAFT'S DEFENSE
Says Ex-President Debases His Position to Become Ignorant Partisan of
 CroWder.
SEN. CHAMBERLAIN
 SCORES TAFT TOO
Brutality of Courts Martial An Outrage on Ameri-
 cans, He Declares.

| Washington, Sept 16.---A newspaper article written by former President Taft defending the present system of military justice and Gen. Crowder, Judge Advocate General of the Army. | brought forth yesterday a storm of criticism from Senator Chamberlain, chief defender of Samuel T. AnseIl, former Acting Judge Advocate Gen eral. on the floor Of the Senate and a sharp personal criticism of the former | President by MT. AnselI.
 l Taft thus perverts hiS power to the furtherance of plan not only to maintain the existing vicious system ! of military justice and to do me great l personal injury but he abuses the con- | fidence and trust of the American people and misleads them, and de- bases his exalted position as ex-Pres- ident of the Republic to become an | ignorant and bitter partisan in behalf | of his friend" said in a statement is- sued last night in reply to Taft
 The inspiration of this article Is | well known" he adds Taft wrote 1t | at the instance of Gen. Crowder, his | close personal and political friend.'' ! Anseu declares that Taft is utterly 1 ignorant of the facts Of the cOntro- l versy and has adopted as his own the | arguments and statements of Crow | der without any investigation as to
 their credi5ility.
 He has also adopted" Anseu de- | clares, the methods of defense | agreed upon in the beginning by the l Judge Advocate General and his off | cIal supporters. namely, a general | denial of the injustice through the official isrepresen tation of facts and an attempt to discredit and destroy me and every other officer who had 1 opposed the system.
 | He says that I was guilty of sur | repdtious conduct and disloyalty to
 my generous friend. Gen. Crowder, in | November, 1917, and that conduct became known at the time to the
 Secretary of War and the Judge Ad- | WOcate General A moments reflec- | ton should have served to convince | him of the falsity of that statement. ' If it was true, or believed to be true, | why then did they not charge me | with that misconduct then and there ? | Why was I retained throughout | the war in my grade of Brigadier | General, with every. evidence of re- | spect and esteem by the Secretary of | War and the Judge Advocate General | himself? Why, at the end of the war, | did the Secretary of War, upon the | recommendation of Gen. Crowder award me the Distinguished Service i Medal for especially meritorious and | conspicuous service as Acting Judge : Advocate General of the Army. whose
 broad and constructive interpretation I of law and regulation have greataly | facilitated the conduct of the war and
 military administration
 ''The obvious truth is that the Sec
 retary of War and the Judge Advo-
 cate General lavished upon me undue | praise and found no fault whatever | with me until I publicly found fault
 with the system of which Gen. Crow l der axroneously claims the pattern

MAGAZINES HAVE GR0WN RAPIDLY
 In 100 YEARS

The growth of the magazine field, the weekly, and the monthly edition, has been astounding in the last cen tury. On Sept. Is, 1884, William Blackwood died in Edinburgh, Scot land. Eminent as bookseller, he was the founder and publisher of the we'll known periodical, "Blackwood's Ma gazine."
 Up to the opening of the Twenti- eth Century, to be lampooned by either one of the three famous peri odicals, Biaczwood's Edinburgh Re view, and the Quarterly, meant anni- hilation to the rising hopes of young authors It was the Quarterly that "did to death John Keats. as Byron says in his matchless way of Keats, That fiery particle

 When Keats, one of the lOveliest poets who ever breathed, a genius direct from the empryean, publish ed his first poem Endymion, the Quarterly, no more able to understand OF grasp the delicate genius of Keats than an elephant to explain a fairy palace, came out with a villainous at tack on the poet. codnselling him to

go back to his shop, and stick to his galliposts. Now, this was unpardona- ble from gentlemen. Keats father, in very humble circumstances, kept a small chemists shop. The youth of fragile constitution, unable to stand up against the nation wide laugh that the Quarterly aroused, succumbed Keat, poor quivering boy, had a hem orrhaSe. As he looked at the blood, he said, "It is arterial blood. I shall die" He went to Italy, but sank rapidly. He is buried in Rome. Thank God, he had published his wealth of marvels, the SOnnets and Odes that set him with the Gods. The petty men on the Quarterly recoiled at what they had done. Too late. But, Keats is in the sure niche of Immor- tality.
 It was a sneering article in the Edinburgh Review, on the early and quite uniformed style of George Cor don, Lord Byron, that prodded Byron into the fiery outburst that released the pent-in splendOr of his genius. And he wrote English Bards and Scotch Reviewers" wherein he shook the old carpers of the Edinburgh Re- view by the beard-till they cringed.
