necessary. The witnesses We're Col.
f. G.. Davis and Lieut.. Col. Alfred
Z. Clarke, members of the Judge 40
vocate Generals staff.
Colonel Davis sharply criticised Cen
eral Ansell, former acting Judge Ad-
vocate General, who told the COM
mittee a few days ago of unjust sen
tences imposed upon soldiers. His
testimony reveal the depth of the
feuG among War Department officers
over the effort made by General An
sell to secure a larger measure of jus
tica for accused men.
It was asserted by Col. Davis that
Gen Ansell had seen only the cases
which were wrong and that he had
not examined the records in more
than one out of a hundred of cases
disposed of. He declared also that
In the matter of number of death
sentences imposed by courts martial
in France, Gen. Ansell had twice pass
ed them without comment or objec-
tion; the third time the cases came
before Gen. Ansell for review. Col.
Davis said. Gen. Ansell recorded his
objection.
Col Davis admitted that there have
been some harsh sentences, but said
that in disposing of 5000 there were
bound to be. He said Congress could
reform the practice by fixing a limit
for sentences and that no other legis-
lation is necessary.
Col Davis defense of the system
in vogue in the War Department
aroused the ire of some of the Sena-
tors, who took issue with him in plain
language. He stated that the SEN
tences as a rule were not more Sc
we're than would have been imposed
by~civil courts for similar orrensea

HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
And THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative with Calotabs, the
New NauseaIess Calomel.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and in
fluenza can be depended upon for
full effectiveness until the liver is
made thoroughly active. That is
why the first step in the treatment
is the new, nausealeSS Calonel
called Calotabs. which is free from
the sickening, weakening, and sali-
waiting effects of the old style calo-
mel. Doctors afso point out the
fact that an active liver goes a long
way towards preventing influenza
and is one of the most important
factors in enabling the patient to
successfully withstand an attack
and ward off pneumonia.
p One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feel
ing fine, with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Druggists sell Calotabs
only in original sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. Your money
will be cheerfully refunded if you
do not find them delightful.-Adv.

This brought from Senator Thomas
the retort:
IF a civil court acted in such a
manner as these militory courts have
been shown to have acted it would
not last overnight"
Col. Davis went on to say that in
every case the soldier sentenced had
the right to appeal for clemency and
in such cases his trial was reviewed
by the Judge Advocate General. SEN
atOr Chamberlain said:
That works all right in theory.
but the record of this committee
shows it doesn't work at all. have
had innumerab1e letters from prison
ers who say they can't get any repIN
whatever to their appeals for elem
ency. No attention whatever is paid
to them."~
Col. Davis in further defense of
the army system asserted that no
man is now serving sentence whose
case was not reviewed by the Judge
Advocate Generals office and whose
punishment was not considered at
the time by the Judge Advoor,t,,
Generals Office to have been no more
severe than circumstances war
ranted'
This statement was challenged by
a number of the Senators. who de-
clared there was abundant evidence
to show that excessive punishnIents
had been inflicted. Senator Nickel
lar said:
1T is not clemency these men want,
but vindication. Their cases should
be re-opened. If men have been un-
justly tried and dishonorbly dismissed
from the army they are entitled to
justice and they ought to have it."
Col. Davis said he was very much
opposed to any legislation at this
time for the reason cit would afford
too much opportunity for sensation"

The train was about 500 feet from

should be advanced to the head of the

pheasants have saved themselves from
destruction during the recent cold
wave by migrating to orchards and ex-

Frozen apples" says Mr.. Peters,
ARE rather trying to a hungry bird in

have noticed that the birds sat on the
apples, thawing them out by the heat
of their bodies before making a meal
The birds would hover the apples like
an old hen at work over a nest of
eggs"
The pheasants also have swarmed
into farmyards to feed with poultry.
