Quick Vengeance Fell
On U-BOat Commanders
Perfect American Espionage
Brought Death to Every Guilty
Officer. Colonel Asserts

Not single German u boat COM
mander known to have committed
atrocities on the sea after America
entered the war succeeded in living
more than two months after his bar
barities became known, according to
Colonel George A. Chester, formerly
an engineer officer in the army. For
thirteen months he was connected with
the Bureau of Naval Intelligence.
Speaking at dinner last night of
the United Anglers League, at Miller's
restaurant, 115 Nassau Street, Colonel
Chester said that the speedy punish
ment of the U boat commanders was
due to the work of the Naval Intelli-
gence Service
ut is not a secret any longer" he
said. $50 closely and accurately were
such German officers followed by the
Naval Intelligence Service that their
whereabouts always was known in
spite of the use of false names and
other devices contrived by the German
Admiralty.
Every effort to hide their identity
failed, so complete was the system and
information of the bureau. Their YES
sells were followed constantly by a.
swarm of Allied destroyers and their
destruction was certainty. None of
them escaped longer than two months"

Attack ON Baker Renewed
Representative Charges Secre-
tary Knows Little About Army

WASHINGTON, March TO- - Repre-
sentative, Royal c. Johnson, of South
Dakota, renewed his attack on the con-
duct Of court martials in the army
to-day. He charged the Secretary of
War with possessing little informa-
ton about the army Of which he is in
charge" and repeated the questions he
addressed to Secretary Baker week
ago, which still remain unanswered.
The purpose of these questions was to
show that Brigadier General Ansell,
Of the judge advocate generals de-
partment, was denoted and super
aeded because he had criticised the
War Department in testimony before
committees of the House and Senate.
when the Secretary of War de-
tends this court martial law he does
himself an injustice" said Representa-
tive Johnson, Gas he is defending a
statute under whose workings men
have been, and are being, and will be,
sentenced to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for forty years for moth
ing. If his statement is correct that
the charges are not substantiated, why
Is it that he brought into being a
clemency board which has reduced
these sentences in many cases by
twenty-five years"

Der, 1917, will become chairman of the
Commission Monday, it was announced
to- day. The appointment is made by
the members of the Commission. Mr..
Aitchison is the youngest man ever to

rector of valuation for the ce minis
sion; the late Judson C. Clemens, and

llvered an opinion asserting with great
positiveness the commissions authority
to review rate rulings of the railroad
Administrations
Mr.. Aitchison was born in Clinton,
Iowa, February %, 1875. He was ad-
naitted to the bar in Iowa, in 1896, and
practised law at Council Bluffs until
1908. His first experience in railroad
law came while obtaining the right of
way for the Chicago and Northwestern
Railways second track from Council
Bluffs to Missouri Valley. He is the
author of "Annotations of Iowa De-
cisions." He went to Oregon in 1908
and engaged in the practise of law
at Portland.
In the latter part Of 1906 Mr. Aitchi-
son was employed by the General Mer-
camille & Lumber interests Of Oregon
to assist in drafting railroad COM
mission law. When the Legislature
enacted the bill prepared by him he
was made one of the original commits
sioners. After serving for more than
eight years as a member of the Oregon

The decision authorizes the release
of the men on their own recognizance.
In the case of the nineteen men or
dered deported he said he would imme-
diately apply for habeas corpus writs.
The government, he said, had been in
formed OF his intentions to defend
them, and has assured him of a reason
able time to file his briefs.
The entire group is still detained at
Ellis Island, Secretary Wilson's order
having reached this city too late to
obtain the immediate release of the
men because of the Saturday half-holi-
day. Mr. Becht was not sure that the
men would accept their paroles, there
being a possibility that they might
elect to remain with their detained as

cases and the men ordered sent out Of

cases." said Mr.. Recht, where the
men professed. membership in the

Teutons in history.

The term Teuton Is of Latin origin.
In ancient times the part Of Europe
now embraced In Germany was called
Germania, and one OF the principal
tribes of the country was called by the
civilized Romans Teutons. just as we
speak oe the Apache Indian. Being q
fierce and warlike people they gave the
Romans a great deal of trouble, and
as they were the dominant tribe OF that
region the name of Teutons gradually
came to be applied TO all the people oc-
cupying what WAS called Germania. IL
has survived In the form of Teutons.

Observations of the dark part of the
moon were made by Professor Lowell at
the observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
says the New York World. The dark
part of the moon is lighted only by the
faint light reflected by the earth, and
the color Of this light would be the
color with which the earth shines to
the other heavenly bodies. This color
proved TO be blue. which was to be ex-
pected. as the atmosphere, as We see
ii, is blue, and II is the earth's stmos-
phere which chiefly would be visible to
ether planets. Thus the earth Is a
