'ANSELL ASSAILS
 BAKERS DEFENSE OF ARbiY COURT
War Dept.'s Methods Are Such as "Habitually Re ceive Condemnation of
 Honest Men"
PUTS COMMUNICATION
 BEFORE THE SENATE
Charges of Former Acting Judge Advocate General
 Filed by Chamberlain.

Washington, Aug. 1S-The War De- partment in it's efforts to defend the existing system of military justice has
 employed methods such as when
 employed in private life habitually re-
 ceive the condemnation of honest men," Lieutenant Colonel Samuel T. Ansell, former acting Judge Advocate General of the Army, charged in a
 letter laid before the Senate today
 by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon.
 Lieutenant Colonel Ansell charged
 specifically that public funds had been
 improperly used in an attempted vim
 dication of the system; that official
 favors had been lavished on General
 Crowder, principal defender of the
 system: that official power had been
 used ito suppress, discredit, menace.
 denote and discipline those who op- posed the system; that clemency
 boards had been packed" with
 friends of the system, and that the
 simplest mercy has been denied in order to vindIcate the system and those involved in it's defence"

 tain the existing system of military justice and the articles of war;" ! ! ing the letter. While General Crow der is entitled to credit for the suc- | cess of the selective draft, he is not entitled 10 any creditf or softening ] it's essential Prussianism.

his protests men were subjected to 'barbarous cruelty, physical violence anI torture," in prison pens without trial. Bureaus of the War Depart ment were set to work, he said to defend the existing system and Col. John H. Wigmore was assigned to conduct the defence.
 Colonel Ansell charged that Secre- tary Bakers letters to General Crow der expressing faith in the system of military justice, but calling attention to criticisms and asking if they were justified, was prepared by "the chief of the propaganda section" of the War Department. This officer also prepared General Crowder's reply, in vindicatiOn of the system. Lieuten- ant-CoIOnel AnseIl sad. A second defence was later prepared by this officer, he added, and sent broadcast across the country under official frank.
 L;eutenant-Colone1 Ansen took this last statement and analysed it in 20 typewriter pages, in which he at- tempted to show the weaknesses of the system as demonstrated by Gen. eral Crowder's defence.
 'The War Department has indeed undertaken to maintain this vicious system, at all costs,' he concluded, "and by methods which reveal the weakness of both the system and the department"

who had an unpleasant reputation for hard drinking, confessed that they could not compete with the English. An official of the German court who belonged to a temperance society was sent as envoy to London and Henry VIII. did not rest content until he had made his envoy break his VOWS of so- briety. Throughout Elizabeth's reign hard drinking was just as popular.
 James l., who succeeded Elizabeth, was not so passionate a person as the robust Henry VIII, and the quick tempered Elizabeth but conditions did not improve. We have a very detailed account of an entertainment given at this time by the Earl of Sails bury in honor or King Christian of Denmark and there is nothing in the worst periods of Rome to match it. The women at this reception drank as heavily as the men and soon the whole assemblage was reeling about in a disgusting condition.

Looking backward from rural France of today to Elizabethian England, the change is not one toward sobriety. It is not exaggerated to say that Shak- spere's England was 8 drunken Eng land. The contemporary drawing re produced above shows how the inns were crowded about the Southwark entrance to London bridge. Almost everywhere along the London water front were clustered these inns and taverns and Q great many of them were places of evil resort. In town and country, on city streets and on slightly frequented lanes in rural dis tricts, one had not far to travel to find Q place where alcoholic drinks could be bought.
 Camden, trustworthy chronicIer of the period, says that there had been an age when Englishmen were more sober than all other peoples of the north. By the time of Elizabeth, how ever, drunkenness was common. Cam den thought the habit was fastened

 the inns in London were crowded
 from morn to night with determined drinkers.
 If the Englishman was slow in learning how to drink as deeply as other peoples of northern Europe, he seems to have caught up quickly to
 his competitors. Massinger, one of the dramatists of the age, says that an Englishman of his time was able to drink more in two hours than the |Dutchman or the Dane in four and twenty" And when Rabelais wanted to find a fit expression for man hopelesly intoxicated, he said that he was drunk as an Englishman.'' 1 In the reign of Henry VIII, drunk l enness and dissipation were so pop i ular at court that even the Germans,

the Queen of Sheba in a representa- ton of her visit to King Solomon, stepped forward with presents for the Danish and English kings. Unfort- unately she had innbibed too freely, tripped over some steps, and pitched her presents into the lap of the sur prised Danish monarch. In an effort to show that he forgave her, the King gallantly arose and offered to dance with the lady but he too had poured so much wine down his throat that he could not stand and had to be carried away to bed.
