important measures having that object
in view already have been introduced for

Special Despatch 10 THr suv.

ALBANr, Jan. 5.--Senator Ross Graves
OF Buffalo introduced the first bill for
1919 In the New York State Senate. II
is bill for the reorganization of the
Department OF Health and includes ap-
propriations OF s225o.oo0. The measure
Is introduced at the request OF the As
ISOLATED Manufacturers and Merchants
OF the State. It has caused consider
able comment here and is regarded as
the first step by organized employers 70

health insurance.
THE Associated Manufacturers and
Merchants" said Carleton A. Chase OF
Syracuse. president of the organization.
which is now recognized as the strong
est State employers association in the
United States, accepts responsibility for
the bill introduced by Senator Graves
and Assemblyman Bewley. and we be-
lieve we have made start along right
lines. 1t is not quite true, however, to
say that the bill is put forward as an
antidote for compulsory health insur-
ance. The bill stands squarely on its
own merit and owes its existence only
indirectly to the campaign which has
been waged for compulsory health in
surance

1T was while investigating compulsory
health insurance, however. that the at
tention of the association was attracted
to the possibilities for good that might
accrue from proper system OF sickness
prevention. and our bill is the direct out
come
Our association does not expect that
the sickness prevention bill will be taken
up and passed Immediately. II realizes
that X has merely made start along
sound lines and that there will be con-
siderable criticism and comment on the
Graves-Bewley bill. But in any event

ARMY OFFICERS TO
GET ,COURT-MARTIAL


discipline must be maintained, even at
the expense of bringing to trial some OF
those who are shortly TO leave the ser
vice. 1t Is a sad thing for an officer at
the close of his career TO find himself
before a court martial, but something
must be done or 1t is certain that con-
ditions will grow steadily worse.
Calls on Press to Give Its Help.
IL believe the public press of New
York can render to our Government a
great service in this matter. During the
progress OF the war the loyalty OF the
press was one of the very greatest as
sets of our Government. The press can
still perform a great duty and render
valuable aid to our country in matters
connected with the return Of our troops
Gen. Shanks complains at this point
that untrue or inaccurate statements
have appeared in the news columns of
some newspapers regarding the arrival
of troopships. One instance had to do
with a statement that the process of re-
moving the wounded from France was
intolerablv slow because OF poor ar
rangements. and another complaint
touched upon a statement that men were
migrants and 'herded below like cat.
tie" Gen. Shanks denies this absolutely,
writing that American troops are trans
ported in the best vessels that float. that
they are made comfottab and that they
are fed as no other troops in the world
are fed. Returning to the main topic of
his letter. he says
IT have found on investigation that
not infrequently the relatives and friends
of the officer concerned are to blame.
They call him up by telephone or some
times wire him from distance insisting
he join them Immediately. These rela-
tives and friends overlook the fact that
the officer is still In the service, that the
Government has a claim upon him and
that frequently he is needed in the per-
Torrance OF some duty which suffers by
reason OF his neglect.
Omcers to He CONCENTRATED.
'F have been obliged to place some
officers in arrest and to order their trial
by court-martial. This course is a sad
one for the officer and l greatly regret
the necessity that compels its adoption
1.-THE thought has occurred to me THAI
the public press of New York. which has
already rendered such valuable aid to
the Government. would be capable OF
rendering still further aid by placing this
important matter before the public in its
proper light"
From official sources other than Gen
Shanks, THE SuN learned last night that
it is becoming common for both soldiers
and sailors returned from overseas ser
vice to refuse TO salute their officers. and
instances OF insulting remarks made de-
lberately in the hearing of officers have
