All the creatures fur and feather,
Cuddle close this snowy weather;
Jimmy Chipmunk, meath a tree
In his home a. safe can be.
Puts his head beneath the clothes
or his little wooden bed
In the oak tree overhead,
And within the fsrier Patch
Billy Bunny drops the latch,
Every ones almost asleep
Waiting for the Springs first peep.
Chilly Mr.. North Wind blows from
his home at the North Pole, making
his snow horses whirl over the Pleas
ant Meadow and along the Old Snake
Fence. The Babbling Brook IL covered
with coat of ice and the Mfilcrs Boy
skates over the Old Mill Pond. Bun
Uncle Bullfrog doesn't hear him, for he
is sound asleep in the mud way down
deep whre the ice never forms.
Dickey MeadowmouA makes little
tunnels under the snow. for ne is so
small he cannot walk over the snow
drifts. But Daddy Fox. that sly old
robber, sneaks over the snow leaving
his foot prints to tell you where he has
been. Sometimes they lead To the
Friendly Forest, and other times to the
farm where Cocky Docky and Henry
the big haystack. The weathercock on
he red barn swings back and forth and
wishes 1t were spring.

TO five years imprisonment on account
Of minor disagreement" in one OF
the army camps with some West Point
soldiers
In spite of a ruling OF the war de-
partment that there was no authority
for review beyond that of the COM
handing officer, General Ansell as
serted his right of review under a sta
UIte of 1862, reopened the case, set
the sentences aside. and restored tho
men 20 duty. He did more. He wrose
tn the secretary of war and told him:
You can not approve the iniquity OF
such system According to the gem
erals testimony before the senate
military affairs committee. Mr.. Baker
did not support him. being advised. 1t
seems. that General Anself had no
right TO review proceedings. Neverthe-
less. he has persisted in what he con-
sidcrs the line of his duty. To re-
solve any doubt, Senator Chamberlain
has introduced a bill giving the judge
advocate general the power Of review,
so that a commanding officer shall not
exercise II exclusively.

martial authority of the army as II
las been exercised since the United
States entered the war Summoned
before the senate military affairs com
mittee, General Ansell said on Thurs
day:
The sentences imposed for sisht
offenses by the courts martial nave
shocked every sense Of justice. Taey
have reached the heights Of inJusuce'
The sentences in many instances pore
no reasonable relationship to the Of
lenses committed.
General Ansell did not defend court
martial sentences Of the past. the pre-
war period: they had often been harsh.
and the system being archaic the vic
tins could obtain no relief, unless TIE
president interviewed. But there were
recent proceedings that were particular
~ revolving. and which General Ansell
with no announcement from his
superiors. had taken charge OF to see
that Justice was done. There was the
case OF the twelve non commissioned
officers who were dishonorably dis
charged and sentenced to from three

sentences have been imposed for trivial
offenses.'
That he was not citing exceptions
appeared when he communicated these
cases to the committee: A boy who
deserted from the army At West Point
and remained for five months with a
father dying Of paralysis reported for
duty the day after his fathers death
and was court-martialed and sentence
OF death imposed. tSet aside by Gen
eraI Ansell, who could not say what
was done with the boy A3terward0
Another young soldier got" fifteen
years for going to the homo Of sick
wife without leave and staying there
forty days. A soldier was sentenced to
death for refusing to drill in France
after extreme exposure to cold for
twenty four hours. Two others were
sentenced to death for sleeping on post
when they had scarcely closed their
eyes in four days Of exactins duty.
These men," said General Ansell
seldom have adequate counsel. and
don't know how to defend themselves"
Contrast these terrible sentences for
offenses committed under extenuating
circumstances with the release from
prison OF conscientious objectorf
who had refused to do any soldierly
duty at all. Consider that scores or
them received their liberty with back
pay and what was practically an apol-
ogy from the government. II 10 very
difficult TO reconcile this amiable
clemency to slackers, honest or other
wise. with failure to support General
Ansells insistence upon the riEht-or

Secretary Baker that abuae Of court
martial authority was personal ab-
soIutism.'' There must be reform In
