So you see that the trouble lies with the
very nature of an Army. 1t Is essentially
brute force II Is an instrument of Might.
not of Right.
And you see why Martial Court can
never satisfy both the Officer. who wants
Discipline. and the Citizen. who wants
Justice.
Perhaps also you see why an Army is
never popular in Democracy. why our SOL
diers are anxious TO get out of it as soon
as the war is over. why Americans do not
take to a military career, and why. If we
must have an Army at all, we want it to be
as small as possible.

A deal of discussion il going on these
times about the Court-Martial.

A deal of discussion Is going on these
times about the Court-Martial.
II is claimed on the one hand that the
system is wrong. that it becomes the IN
lstrument of tyranny rather than Of justice.
and that many of the sentences inflicted are
cruel. inhuman and outrageous.
On the other hand, military men seem
to regard these charges as extreme, to con-
slider the Court-Martial necessary to dis
cipline. and to characterize the sympathy
expressed for the victims as "a lot Of maud
! lin sentiment" to use the language at
tributcd to Maj. Stone.
What's the matter? Why this sharp d.
vergence of opinion between two classes
of minds. equally sincere, viewing the same
object?
The matter is simply this: You have got
two words together that don't fit, j. c.,
Court and Martial.
Court" carries with it the connotation
of justice; Martial" the idea of discipline.
Court looks at the Individual, his
rights. privileges and welfare; anything
Martial disregards the Individual. and has
its eye on the Machine and the desired re-
suits thereof.

a commander is to win. he is to take this
city, destroy that stronghold. or cause the
enemy 1OFce 10 suTTeuueT. III the uolnS vi
this human lives are but pawns, cannon
fodder"
We curse the Germans for their fright
fulness, their utter disregard of lives and
property and the whole human equation, in
their resolute purpose to attain their mill
tary ends. They were logical and consis-
tent. They carried the program of militar-
ism to its brilliant diabolical conclusion.
They were better warriors than their demo-
cratic opponents, who were faulted by hui
mainly and won by superior resources.
| All war is hell, simply because its aim
and method are non-human. II substitutes
the Will of Monarch or State for the Wei
fare of the People.
+ Every successful general has been called
a butcher. They brought that charge
against Grant and Sherman. They said
Foch was reckless in his sacrifice of lives.
4 But the fact is that war is essentially in
human, anti-human. You cannot win VIC
tories without paying the price of horror.
The military mind sees this clearly. He
wants to succeed, which he cannot do with
out paying the devil his price. He is not
in place to render his soldiers prosperous,
comfortable and moral, he is there to gain
the set purpose, to overcome the enemy,
and he uses only just enough humaneness
to keep his fighters fit.
To such a mind a Court-Martial is ac-
cented on the last word He regards it,
as Colonel Anse puts it, "as the right
hand of the commanding officer, to aid him
in the maintenance of discipline"
He is not considering the accused, nor
how his life may be spoiled He is looking
at the Army, and how its efficiency may
be upheld. And, from this viewpoint, he
is consistent. That is what he is there
for, to make perfect machine, not to
look after his boys.
Outside of his official duties, the military
man may be kind and humane man, Just
