WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-"No mem
Der of the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs is more anxious to mod
ernize and humanize military justice
than | am" Secretary of War Baker
said to- day, commenting on the reve-
lations made by Acting Judge Advocate
General Ansell before the committee
yesteday.
Secretary Baker said he would ap-
pear before the Senate committee fol
lowing the completion of the testimony
of Generals Crowder and Ansell, and
would at that time give the committee
his views of the matter of military JUS
tice.
General Ansell's declaration before
the Senate committee that "iniustice"
had been done numerous men tried by
military courts was widely discussed
in military circles to-day Army Of
fcials generally agreed that extreme
penalties had been the rule rather than
the exception since the entrance of the
United States IN the war. but some
excused the severity of the punish
ment on the ground that wartime SEN
tences necessarily had to be extreme
Officers of the line, however, assert
ed that General Ansells charges OF
injustice were directed against officers
in his own branch of the service, in
asmuch as the camp Judge advocate
has the authority to approve or dis
approve the findings of the courts

before any sentence can be executed
each case comes to Washington for re-
view. and that finally the President

Sharp Resignation
As Envoy to Paris
Vance Mccormick Likely to
Succeed Him Is View
at Washington; Wilson
Praises the Ambassador

WASHINGTON, Feb. II Pre- esident
Wilson has accepted the resignation of
William Graves Sharp as Ambassador
to France, to take effect when a sue
cessor qualities. This was revealed by
correspondence between the President
and the Ambassador, made public to-
night at the White House, without
comment.
There was no information in official
circles tonight as to whom the Presi-
dent had in mind for the Paris post
but at the time the resignation of
Vance Mccormick as chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee was
made known last month it was said
that Mr. Mccormick would become Am
bassador to France.
Mir. Mccormick is in Paris, having
been summoned there by the President
more than month ago in connection
with the peace conference. When he
left Washington he told friends he ex-
pectcd this work would occupy him
for several months, at least.
Mr.. Sharp's letter to the President
was under date of December 19 and re-
Vealed that he had first asked to be re-
lieved Immediately after the signing
of the armistice, his resignation to be-
come effective before the end of 1918.
This request was more formally re-
neWcd in the letter of December 19 and
brought a reply from the President
under date of December 21, accepting
the resignation and asking that Mr.
Sharp remain at Paris until his su-
cessor could qualify. This Mr.. Sharp
has agreed to do.
The Presiden letter accepting the
resignation follows
"ln view of what you have so fully
explained to me with regard to the cir
cumstances which make you feel it your
duty to retire from your present post
and give your close personal attention
to business affairs which depend upon
you, | cannot in conscience refuse to
accept your resignation as Ambassador
OF the United States to the government
OF France, and do so with the under
standing that the resignation is to take
effect when your successor qualities.
II am sincerely obliged to you that
you are willing to make this arrange
ment and to remain in France until
your successor actually can take YOUR
place. 1t is an arrangement which re-
lleves me of good deal of anxiety
because should not wish the highly
important post at Paris to be vacant
Tor even d short time
Let me tell you again how highly |
have valued the unusual services which
you have rendered our government
lhey have at every turn of the critical
events of recent years been of the
highest value, and~it has been a source
Of confidence and of strength to feel
that we had such a representative here
| am expressing not only my personal
feeling, but the feeling of all those
who have been familiar with your ser
wee here. You are certainly entitled
TO your release and assure you that
you carry with you the atfectionate re-
gard md confidence of those who havo
had the pleasure of being your colabor-

Berlin Hears Soldiers Coun-
Gil Ignored War Minister'S
Order, but Troops Obeyed
and Elected New Officers

BERLIN, Feb. - (By the Associated
Press).-The German offensive against
the Poles has come to a halt as the
result of political dissensions among
the troops, according to a dispatch to
the "Tageblatt" from Bromberg. The
Soldiers Council refused to recognize
an order recently issued by the Minis
ter of War. The troops, on the other
hand accepted it, and elected new mil
itary chiefs.
The operations then ceased despite
tho fact that the Germans had estab-
lished favorable offensive position
against the Poles, who proceeded TO
advance with numerically superior
forces.
A company Of German soldiers under
Lieutenant Partheneimer refused 10
return to Bromberg in the face of
warnings and, the dispatch adds, were
attacked on three sides by heavy Pol
sh forces. The company was almost
entirely wiped out and Parthenheimer
was killed
The dispatch to the "Tageblatt"
says the German forces are now reor-
ganizing for another offensive. 1t is
asserted that the Poles in occupied
territory are compelling German fam
lilies to send kilograms TO male men,
bers asking them to return home at
once. 1t is added that when the men

COBLENZ, Feb. Ia (By The
~ Associated Press The AL
lies have taken steps to gain pos
session of one of the long-range
guns which the Germans used to
fire upon Paris. The Inter-Allied
Commission at Spa has made de-
mands upon the German Deliver
ing Commission that a long-range
gun be included in the war ma
terial which the Germans are turn
ing over to the Allies.
All the German officers whom
the American officials have ques-
toned regarding the long-ra
guns have asserted that all the
crews who were assigned to the
task of handling the big Ber-
thas' were sworn to secrecy, and
ever since the armistice was signed
little has been known regarding
the fate of these monster weapons.
Recent reports were to the eff
feet that one of the "Big Berthas"
had been dismantled in West Prus-
sia, while another report from a
discharged soldier said that a
long cannon had been seen
on railway cars near Essen.

4rriual OF Missions
Ends Fighting Betteeen
The Poles and Czechs

WARSAW, Feb. IA (by The Asso-
ciated Press The arrival of two in
ternational missions, one to investigate
Polish affairs and the other to settle
the Teschen coal dispute, has created
confusion, SO numerous are the mem
bers Of each mission.
The Czechs are declared to be cutting
of trains and blocking the telegraph
wires. During the fighting, beginning
Jsnsry January Is, It , is said' they issued a
Teschen by order Of the Allies.
The Czechs have not yet restored 500
yards of telegraph lines, which are
Down near OIerberg. The Poles assert
Czech jealousy at the publicity given
to Poland led to destruction of the
telegraph lines.
The coming of the missions has had
the effect of stopping all fighting be-
tween the Poles and Czechs, although
the breach between the two nations is
believed to have been widened.
