DIAZ: ITALIAN COMMANDER IN CHIEF

Gen. Armando DiaZ is an interest
ing world figure just now, inasmuch as
he is the commander in chief of the
Italian armies and much depends upon
him in the complicated situation of
which Fiume is the storm center.
General Diaz was noteworthy figure

conference and left with Orlando when
the Italian premier went TO Rome TO
consult with the Italian parliament.
AT the same time there were reports
that Ii divisions of the Italian army

ON the Italian basis of $4,000 troops
TO the division this means nearly 200
900 soldiers.
Fiume is Hungarian seaport that
has had Italian characteristics ever

In 1914 the city held 10000 Italians

Hungarian government had tried by
colonization and in other ways to
wine out the Italian traits of the city.

ANSELL ON ARMY JUSTICE SYSTEM

Lieutenant Colonel Ansell, former
acting Judge advocate general of the
United States army said before the In
vestigating committee of the American
Bar association that the existing army
system of justice was derived from the
days when common soldiers" were
the vassals of the king rather than citi-
zens of the state, and declared that
1t was the natural result of such a sys-
TEN that an officer caste should be
built up.
Declaring it fact that the enlist
ed man did not receive the same con-
sideration of his rights under the sys-
TEN that officers enjoyed, Colonel
Ansell argued that the only remedy
lay in writing into the law the guaran-
tees of the rights of the soldier. While
this is left to regulations to be pre-
scribed by the president, he said, it
cannot be effective. THE attitude of
