PUNISH CRITICS
Ansell Says Opponents of Mill
tary Justice System Were
Denied Promotion.
CROWDER AND WIGMORE
ALSO ARE ACCUSED
Many of Our General Officers Are
Jokes to Every One Except
Ourselves and Themselves,
He Says.

Washington, Aug. discharges
that Secretary Baker, Major General
Enoch H. C. Crowder, judge advo-
cate general, and Colonel John H.
Wigmore established a propaganda
bureau to discredit critics Of the ex-
listing military justice system and to
defend the system" were made be-
fore senate military subcommittee
today by Samuel T. Ansell, formerly
acting Judge acknowledgement.
Ansell said several officers and
about fourteen clerks were regularly
assigned to duty in the bureau to is
sue statements to the press and to
congress. He also charged that Of
ficers who criticized the system were
"menaced, threatened and disciplin-
ed" while those who defended it were
promoted.
Most general officers Of the army
lack experience in handling men and
their views of military justice should
not be accepted merely because they
are Of high rank, Ansell said.
ut is well-known fact" sair Mr..
Ansell, chat the weakest grade in
the army is the general officer. Many
of our generals are jokes to every
body in the world except ourselves
and themselves"
Few general officers, the witness
said, ever commanded more than a
company Of troops before the war as
army post and department command
ers they were swamped in cred tape y
of administrative routine. In the
Spanish war, he continued, Major
General Leonard Wood was only a
regimental commander while General
Pershing's Philippine experience was
"tha bushwhacking of guerilla war
fare"
81 have had one hundred times the
court martial experience of most of
ficers," said the witness.
Declaring "a great gulf" existed
between army and civil court prin-
ciples and procedure, Mr.. Ansell "the
so-called lawyer of the war depart
ment," contended that none of the
great fundamental principles of the
constitution or the bill of rights
could be retained in court martia
| trials. He added that American court
martial proceedings, except in rare
instances, were not subject to review
by civil courts and that to this ex
tent the rights of military defend
ants were abridged.

DENY German Boat
Captured and Sent
Back to Owners

London, Aug. 26.-There is no
truth in the report that the crew of
the German commercial submarine
Bremen was captured during the war
and returned recently to Germany,
according to official information
given the correspondent today. 1t
was added that the British admiralty
has no knowledge concerning the
fates of the Bremen.
The report of the crew of the Bre-
men to Germany was circulated
August II by the Vossische Zeitung,
of Berlin. According TO this news
paper, the British had kept the crew
prisoner so chat the whereabouts Of
the missing submarine might remain
a secret. Several days later, Off
cial denial was made in Berlin that
the crew of the submarine had ar
rived in Bremen.
