-
If the questions raised in Lieuten-
ant Colonel Ansell's letter to Secre-
tary Baker, written on March IL and
just released, involved merely a per
Isonal dispute inside the war depart
ment, they would have only an in
cidental interest to the public. In
this dispute Mr.. Baker has given
his support to Lieutenant Colonel
Ansell's opponents, who differ abso-
Iutely from him in their theory Of
Ia proper scheme of military Justice.
What concerns the public most Is
the actual working of the system now
in force. Is 1t humane, modern and
efficient? Does it reduce abuses Of
arbitrary authority to a minimum?
Lieutenant Colonel knsell holds that
it does not. He goes further and says
that, even under the most favorable
conditions, it cannot. Here is an Isl
sue Of fact which can be determined
by a study of the record, regardless
OF personal controversies.
Enough evidence has been brought
out already to justify an ~investiga-
ition by congress OF the whole prob
lem Of military justice. Lieutenant
AOtDAOk ABDUL Buys Judb VQA cJotOhA
is more ~antiquated and oppressive
than that OK any army with which
ours has coilaborated in Europe,
That would not be strange, because
our army, up TO 1917, vas one Of the
oldfasliioned professional type, funct-
ioning quite aloof from the ordinary
life Of the nation. A discipline suit
ed for it would not be suited to a
~conscripted army; and since 1917
there has hardly been time to read
just the system of military justice to
new conditions.
We have time now to repair this
omission, Congress will undoubtedly
n0dernize the code, regardless OF
the views of the old school within the
war department. And no one will
have contributed more to that reform
than Lieutenant Colonel Ansell, who,
under trying circumstances, has made
d brave and Intelligent fight for the
vindication Of the rights OF the com
mon soldier.
