ments OF the past few days have con-
vinced President Wilson 1t will be

ing tour In behalf of the treaty in u
short time, 1t was learned today.
The Mexican situation has cleared,
with the withdrawal Of American sol
dfers, following the punishment OF
bandits.
The campaign to reduce living costs
is showing results in way gratifying
to the president The threatened strike
OF railroad shopmen has been averted,
at least for the present.
Administration leaders have ex-
pressed themselves as we'll satisfied
with the treaty situation in the SEN
ate.
These facts have again forced con-
sideration OF the speaking trip to the
front, and advisers of the president
are urging that the time for it is
opportune.
The itinerary has been completed
and needs only to be filled with dates.
It calls for Journey to the Pacific
coast through the more northern
states, occupying about twelve days,
and return through the southern
states by way of Texas.
1t is possible, 1t was learned, that
the trip will be undertaken before the
arrival Of General Pershing and the
vanguard Of the first division, which
would prevent their review by the
president in New York, as suggested.
Pershing is expected to reach Amer
jca aho,1t Sent q or g.
This will be in ten days or two
weeks, 1t was said, since plans can
not be completed In shorter time.
A corps of assistants are working on
the itinerary today.
The president does not feel that
It will be necessary for him to wait
until the peace treaty IS reported
out of the senate foreign relations
committee. The trip will occupy
forty-five days, If the president can
stand the strain OF continuous speak
ing. 1t was said. It is considered pos
sible that the president will be IN
San Francisco in time to review the
fleet.
The plans for meeting General
Pershing in New York on Sept. or
9. as well as those for the review OF
the First division by the president
here Sept. 16, may nave to be
changed, 1t was said.

Court Martial Theories
In Wide Range at Hearing

CHICAGO, June 14-Court mar
tial theories based on experiences
ranging from that of the private in
France TO the city prosecutor of
Manila. 2. l., were heard Friday at
the last open session. of the commit
tee which is investigating military
justice and courts martial proceed
ure for the American Bar associa-
ton. The suggestions were as varied
as the experiences Of the witnesses
except that all seemed agreed that
trained low officers should be avail
able as counsel for accused men.
After the hearings closed the COM
mittee. through Chairman s S.
Gregory, of Chicago, announced that
there would be several executive ses-
sions while he and his associates
were preparing their report. This
report. he said, would be made to
the executive committee of the bar
association but he personally hoped
that all the evidence collected by
the committee here and in the east,
would be made available for con-
gressional use by being printed as a
public document.
Maj. Orville ]. Taylor. ir., who was
assistant judge advocate of the seth
division both at Camp Grant and
abroad and who later held the same
post for the district of Paris, started
the days proceedings by unqualified
endorsement of the present system.
He said his experience with regular
army officers had convinced him that
trained line officers were superior TO
