CRABS ON THE MARKET.
Baltimore Reports indication o
Lower Prices Coming Season.

BALTIMORE. April 19.-The first
crabs of the season made their ap-
pearance in the market this week. and,
judging by the prices at which they
sold-$4 and less barrel-they will
be considerably lower this year, as at
this time last year crabs were selling
at from IS to IS a barrel.
Last season, with scores of men who
grabbed for livelihood entering the
ammunition and essential industry
plants, it was almost impossible to
obtain labor. AS a result crabs were
scarce and very high. This situation,
however, brings it's recompense this
season. Left in their natural home
during the spawning period, crabs
will be more plentiful than ever, while
the return of labor, which is no longer
required in war industries. will insure
q most constant supply for the market.

Easter Flowers in Bloom.
One of the show places in Wash
ington today for the Easter visitors
is the National Botanic Garden.
where many Easter flowers are in
bloom. Superintendent Hess has
made arrangements to keep the
garden open for visitors all day. and
caretakers will be there to guide the
visitors to the various attractions
There are more than twenty
varieties of magnolias still in bloom.
Among the prettiest sights are the
hawthorne trees flanking either side
of the pathway through the north
gate.
There are several school parties
now in Washington. and arrange
ments have been made for them to
visit the garden tomorrow. Nearly 200
school children are from Massachu-
setts, and twice as many from other
New England states, who expect to
see the gardens tomorrow.
Parties from every state, in the
Union and from five foreign nations
visited the Botanic Garden during the
last week. The Belgians here to aid
in popularizing the victory liberty
loan will be shown around the garden
tomorrow by Mr.. Hess. Many of the
bulbs now in bloom came from Bel
gium before the war.
Soldiers and sailors passing through
Washington are finding the Botanic
Garden a welcome place to rest. The
superintendent always makes a point
to see that the men in uniform are
afforded. every opportunity to see all
they want and to have the museum of
plant life explained to them.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 19.-Lieut.
Col. S. r. Ansell, whose criticisms of
the military courts-martial system in
volved him in a controversy with high
officials in the War Department. in an
address at a. luncheon of the city club
here today discussed the military
code. which he said had been deScsibed
by some as archaic, un-American,
oppressive and that it has led to in
tolerable injustice: in short. that it

LIT was upon this side of the Ques-
ton that he stood. he said. adding:
There are others. however, in high
and responsible positions. who defend
the system, who stoutly insist that it
lNmodern, liberal has not resulted in
injustice, and these have taken almost
every means to assure the people that
this system is worthy of the highest
popular confidence. l am led to be-
lieve that the people themselves, upon
the information they have, are i'm

Many Investigations On.


There are many Investigations
about the system. 1t is announced
that a Judge advocate has recently
been dispatched to Europe to investi-
gate the European systems of mill
taEy justice, a field which l covered
just one year ago and made a report
Which was never read. A committee
of sthe American Bar Association is
making an investigation. So far as
] can discover from the press, l can
hardly think that that investigation
is likely to prove beneficial. They
seem to have called the available
major generals of the Regular Army,
and 1 understand that they intend to
call all living former Secretaries of
War. 1t is rather a pity that Gus
tavus Adolphus. from whom came a
considerable part of our code, could
not also appear before them, to COM
mend the system which he admins
tered
COL. Ansell recounted briefly the his
tory of the code, which he said "sys-
tematically and largely in detail is
the British code of 1T74." He spoke
Of its successive revisions. the last
being made in 1916, which now. put
on1its defense, is heralded abroad as
all that a military code can be-
The difficulty with this code. Col.
Ansell said, lis that it does not con-
template that d court-martial shall
be1a court doing justice according to
we'll established principles and in
quite the contrary 1t regards the
court-martial simply as the right
hahd of the commanding officer to aid
him in the maintenance of dis
cipiine.
S"rnder this system, an officer be-
longs to a caste, is a thing apart.
Amy officer can prefer charges against
aftan and at his will can really sue
coed in getting him tried. The statute
requires no preliminary investiga
ton. and such as is required by the
regulation is not thorough and ef-
fective.
Penalties Shockingly Harsh"
'The penalties awarded are shock
ingly harsh. and 1 think that every
body. if everybody would speak
frankly and helpfully, must be heart
lily ashamed of them.
Some of the very harshest punish
stice was signed. / well know my diff
stice was signed. well know my diff
culties as acting judge advocate gen.
eral in endeavoring to prevent such
punishments or in having them mod
flied.
rBut it has been said that all these
sentences were reviewed in the Office OF
the judge advocate general.
II surely should know all about that.
There was not one in twenty that was
reviewed, and it must be understood
that even when we did review we had
10 authority to cut down or modify or
set aside the sentence of a court-mar-
tial. however unjust it was.
This old system ought to be changed
at once. 1t ought to be changed to ac-
cord with the principles of our govern
ment. to accord with the view that a
soldier is not the personal retainer of
an officer, but is a citizen with rights
such. The less we regard a soldier
q serf and the more as a citizen the
greater a soldier must be.
