DISAGREE. AS TO
COURTS MARTIAL
Col. Apsell and Col. Wigmore
Testify Before Bar Committee

Washington, April 24.--The radical
difference of opinion that exists not
only IN military circles but among
lawyers as to the present system OF
military justice was brought out
sharply yesterday before the commit
tee of the American Bar association
in the conflicting views presented by
Lieut.. Col. Samuel T. Ansell the off,
Ger OF the regular army who is chief
assailant of the system, and Col. John
Wigmore, temporary officer and wide
~ kncwn as a student Of law in civil
life, but the most active defender OF
the present system in the absence or
Major Gen. Crowder, judge advocate
general.
"The court martial system does not
need more law: but more facts Col.
Wigmore asserted, urging that amend
rlent OF tho present system to insure
perfectly fearless counsel for the &C

fects as had been disclosed. There
Is a feeling that by putting In more

that
Col. Ansell, resuming his argument
which will not DO concluded for an
other day, defined the real issue as tho
question: whether military justice IS
going TO be conducted by hard and
fast military rules, or Is 1t going TO
take on an aspect of civil justice.
IF we had had legal control from
the beginning of the proceedings" he
asserted after displaying charts SHOW

In the Judge advocate generals Office

Col Wigmore took direct Issue with
statements made by Senator Cham
borlain and Col Anseli He quoted a
speech made by Mr.. Chamberlain Oh
the floor of the senate which de-
clarcd that the army court-martfal
system represented neither a system
of justice or a system of law. IF

Similarly, he challenged Col. An

I'm brief, every question associated
with this settlement wears a row
aspect--a new aspect given it by tho
very victory for right for which Italy
has made the supreme sacrifice Of
blood and treasure. Italy, along With
the four other great powers, has be-
come one of the chief trustees of the
new order which she has played SO
honorable a part in establishing.
"And on the north and northeast
her natural frontiers are completely
restored. along the whole sweep Of
the Alps from northwest to southeast,
TO the very end Of the lstrlan peninsu-
la. including all the great watershed
within which Triest and Pola lie, and
all the fair regions whose face nature
has turned toward the great peninsula
u,on which the historic life Of the
Latin neople has been worked out
through centuries Of famous story
aver since Rome was first set upon her
seven hills. .
"Her ancient unity is restored. Her
Hres are extended to the great wallis
which are her natural Defence If Is
within her choice to be surrounded bv
friends. to exhibit to the newly HDer-
ated neoples across the Adriatic that

the settled peace of the world, are
now united with her older associates
IN urging her to assume a leadership
Whlch cannot be mistaken in the new
order of Europe.
America is Italy's friend. Her peo-
PIE are drawn, millions strong, from
ntai5 own fair countryside. She is
iihhed IN blood, as we'll as in attcc-
'ioh' with the Italian people. Such
6 ties can never be broken and America
was privileged, by the generous COM
Allsslon OF her associates in the War
10 initiate the peace we are about to
consummate-to initiate it upon terms
which she had herself formulated and
IN which 1 was her spokesman.
The compulsion is upon her to
square every decision she takes a, part
in with those principles. She can do
nothing else. She trusts Italy, and in
her trust believes that Italy will ask
nothing of her that cannot be made
Enthusiastically consistent with those
sacred obligations.
THE interests are not now in cues
ton, but the rights Of peoples, of
states new and old, of liberated peo-
pies and peoples whose rulers have
never accounted them worthy of
right; above all the right of the world
to peace and to such settlements Of
interest as shall make peace secure.
These, and these only, are the
nrfnciDles for which America has
fought. These, and these only, are
the principles upon which she can
consent to make peace. Only upon
these principles, she hopes and be-
lieves, will the people Of Italy ask
her to make peace

Soon two smaii villages or colonies sprang up abou, the little churches, taking the names of the two apostles. The influence or San Leo has been wiped out by the centuries, while that of San Marine exists today.
 Marino's desire was to found a free society, based upon liberty, justice. simplicity, charity, virtue, and. above all, a love of peace. When the gooc man came to die he called his follow CTS about him and bequeathed to them his mountain, free from every other man."

A Confidential Communication

The position of Judge Lindsey of Denver in with holding evidence in a murder trial on the ground that the evidence came to him in confidential ward of a juvenile court, seems to be untenable And while juvenile courts amount almost to an ob- session of Judge Lindsey. who is regarded as their founder the rule regarding the sacredness of com municatons from their wards is not yet recognized by the law.
 There are certain well defined kinds of confi- dential communications, but those between juvenile under definition, that the refusal of Judge Lindsey to divuhge what may be important informa- tion in murder trial however commendable his motive for refusal amounts punsable recacitrancv
 Some states have enacted legislation throwing secrecy about the proceedings Of juvenile courts The reason for that is obvious-to shield the youthful offenders from publicity which may enbarrass and discourage them. In states where there is no such legislation courts of their volition generally i'm pose this secrecy.
 But the secrecy whethe the result of legislation of court rules is adopted matter of policy and not as a rock bound principle which Judge Lindsey stands to the inconvenience of trial court in murder case.
 The position of Judge Lindsey becomes the weaker by reason of the fact that the youth from whom he received the communication five years ago, is not now a ward of the court. Nineteen years of age he no longer stands in need of the protection of secrecy which was thrown about him at the age of fourteen.

Two Kinds of Insanity

A woman is on trial at Prescott for what has the ear marks of having been premeditated murder, Naturally there but defense-the much over worked one of insanity. That promptly inter posed and it was supported by the conduct of the defendant in court that it proposed to ascertain whether or not she was insane. If so it would be improper to proceed with the trial. Insane persons cannot be tried for crimes; only for insanity.
 The defense objected to this procedure for if she were to be found by special jury such as would be called to nvestngate that particular aspect of the case the murder trial would be left hanging in the air. to be resumed whenever, if ever the defendant should recover from her insanity. Her attorneys doubtless reasoned that it would put something of strain upon her to maintain the role of insanity in definitely.
 But another jury has been called to consider the present state of her mind and not the state in which she was at the time of the killing. The de- fense favors what may call retroactive insanity, technical convenient insanity, but not present real insanity.
 Perhaps the defense went too far, was too ener getic and too zeaous, in fact did the thing in the way of impressng the murder trial jury with the mental deficiencies of the defendant.

SAN MERINO IS
 PEACE EXAMPLE

National Geographic Society Bulletin)
 Founded by a man whose parting prayer was that it never increase it's
 territory by violence. San Marine, which has extended rights of citizen ship to President Wilson, Is an endur- ing monument to that ideal, while mighty Germany has been laid low by 5til exactly opposite ambition.
 This tiny nation, "our littiest ally" IS
 located thirteen miles from Rimini.
 This little republic, whose greatest length is nine miles, is completely sur
 rounded by Italy who respects it's autonomy, as have rules of the past, with few fleeting exceptions, since the pious Dalmatian stone cutter left tho mountain to his followers, free
 from every other man."
 That this little republic, which today has eleven thousand inhabitants and an area of thirty-eig square miles,
 has maintained it's independence, it's ideal of liberty, in the midst of strife and bloodshed, of changing social con- ditions, for sixteen centuries, adds dig nity to the unwavering belief of the trusting ones in the neverceasing pro-
 lection of the saintly founder
 The position of the mountain, far from the great Roman roads. the Nfa ! ffaminia and Via Aemilia; sufficiently distant from the coast to be safe from
 maritime invasion; the stronghold i'm pregnable to assault by medieval arm- les; the retiring and unostentatIous, 1 peace seeking character of the inhabi- tants; the comparative poverty of the country-all contributed to San Mari nos being left alone. But external req sons were not sufficient-there was an internal cause which existed in its in- sttutios and it's morality.
 In the life of the republic today the l influence of the Dalmatian saint IS 1 strongly reflected. For country to maintain the characteristics of It's primitive founder is a social phenom- enon, of which possibly San Marine alone can boast.
 1 During the days of Christian perse- cutions, in the middle of the Fourth Century, Marine and Leo, two stone | cutters of Arbe, Dalmatia, crossed the
 Adriatic and came to Rimini. Their reason, says tradition. was to aid l Christians, condemned by pagan rulers, l to reconstruct the walls of that city. 1 The walls of Rimini having been fin ished, Leo and Marine looked longing 1 y upon the solitude of the two moun- tains. They sought peace and solitude 1 in those impenetrable heights. Hew- | ing bed from the rock and cultivatins
 a little garden, Marine found all his
 material wants supplied. This rougn bed and site of the garden are pointed
 out today by reverent peasants.
 A few slaves followed their former
 overseers in order to practice, undis- turbed, their Christian faith.
