BEFORE COMMITTEE

today to answer charges. and criti-
cisms made. by Samuel T. Ansell. for
mer acting Judge advocate general.
and Senator Chamberlain, democrat,
Oregon, Major General Enoch H.
Crowdar, Judge advocate general of
the army, declared that there had
been a "torrential flow of accusations
impugning the motives of men until
the real issue has been obscured."
General, Crowder said he recognized
the necessityf for a revision OF the
present military Justice code and an
nounced that he would recommend
certain amendments later.
C~onceding that some excessive
sentences had been imposed by mill
tary courts. the general said these
sentenced had been emphasized by
critics Of the system 80 that the pub
lie has been misled.
General Crowder justifed heavy
sentences in cases of Absence without
leave as necessary to maintain disci-
pline. There were 1908 cases Of abb
sence at Hoboken in 1918 he said,
and, 1t was to stop this practice that
heavy sentences were imposed
