CHAMBERLAIN AND COURTS-MARTIAL

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon is
a consistent friend of the Yankee fight
ing man. He says of his courts-martial
bill:
Il am advised that the total of the
sentences imposed by courts-martiaI
during the world war passed upon
American soldiers was about $4,000
years. A clemeneYzboard has recon-
mended a reduction of sentences which
brings the total down to about 6,7OO
years that American soldiers must
serve In prison.
''The stigma of conviction Is not
removed by action of the clemency
board, and there is practically no re-
.visory power over these sentences,
where the court-martial had jurisdic-
ton and the proceedings have been
regular. I have introduced a bill be-
fore the senate the purposes of which
are:
'It restores soldiers, sailors and
marines, who have been sentenced by
.ies, and discharges them automatically

SERVICE THAT is BEYOND PRAISE

Senator Thomas of Colorado wrote
a letter the other day in answer to one
inquiring why he does not favor bill
for the payment of a bonus of $3.50
each to the United States soldiers in
the great war. This letter says, among
other things:
THE bill commentaries patriotism,
impairs the sentiment of loyalty, and
reduces to terms of money the service
and sacrifice of the citizen for the
public veal.
Every man in the United States
is the possessor of certain rights which
are reciprocal with certain duties or
responsibilities. His enjoyment Of the
one is inseparable from his recognition
of the other. The ultimat@sanction OF
society, whatever the form of its gov
ernment, is force, whose final analysis
is the soldier in the ranks. The OBJ
