Gen. Crowder's Reply.

In reply, Gen. Crowder made a gen
erAl defense against recent criticisms
in Congress and elsewhere concerning
court-martial cases and charged that
Gen. Ansell, without his knowledge
and consent, had submitted a brief
TO Secretary Baker early in the war
urging revolution in the military
Justice system.
The judge advocate general said the
supposed controversy" between him
self and Gen. Ansell as to military
justice had been magnified since the
real issues and the only ones" were
in differences to opinion as to whether
the power to review and oVerturn
executive verdiets of general courts
martial existed and whether that
mower should be exercised by the
judge advocate general or the Presi
dent.
Gen. Crowder held that there was
no authority for review except by the
President under present statutes and
was sustained by Secretary Baker.
Congress then was asked to create
that power for the judge advocate
general. but failed to act Gen. An
sell insisted that such power existed
under the present statute and that
it should be exercised by the judge
advocate general and not the Presi-
dent.
Turning to criticisms that the SEN
tences of courts-martial during the
war have been atrociously severe.
Gen. Crowder wrote that this was not
a criticism of the system of military
justice and not a criticism of his ad-
ministration of that system.
Penalties Provided by Law.
.It Is a criticism" he said, "of the
sDmcerS who imposed, for instance, sem
tences of death for sentinels convicted
OF sleeping on post, for soldiers will
fully and contumaciously refusing to
obey the direct orders of their COM
manding officers, and for desertion in
time OF war. and it is criticism of
the Congress which authorized a death
penalty in plain statutory terms to be
assessed on convictions for these Of
fenSeB. ] do not mean to say that IL
criticism in this Connection is due am
immune. / am not I agree with the
statute. and shall defend 1t, but am
not responsible for it,
Reviewing his efforts to obtain a
complete revision Of the old military
code, which finally were successful in
1915. Gen. Crowder said:
During much Of this time Gen. An
sell was one of the most promising
and trusted officers In my Office. Dur
Ing ali the time that the code was in
revision he never suggested to me
nor, 50 Tar as ] can learn, to any one
else, any OF the changes he is sug-
1esfing now. He participated in pre-
pairing the manual for courts-martial
which was based upon the new code
but he advanced none OF these new
views"

Editorial

There is talk of trying to
bring manufacturing plants to
the District. and we would be
glad to welcome the newcom-
ers.
But, first of all. let's cult
vate a civic pride in the things
that are already made within
the confines OF our city
Glance through the back 81
the telephone directory and
YOU will be surprised how many
different products are brought
to life in our midst.
Why not hold carnival or
exhibition or whatever you
wish to call it at which the
different, things made in the
District OF Columbia will be
displayed along with interest
ing data about the making, raw
state, etc, of the various finish
ed necessities.
No doubt such display
would be wonderfully interest
ing and ENLIGHTENING. We
know it would create greater
spirit of fellowship among the
manufacturers thems elves. and
that alone would make the
show worth while.

Saturdays gridiron contests in the
Pacific Coast intercollegiate confer
ence are to established at least one
thing--between what two teams is to
lie the battle for championship honor.
With Oregon Agricultural college
and the University Of California elm
mated from the running by defeats
last week at the hands Of Stanford and
Washington State college, respectively,
the race for honors now lies between
w. s. c.. University Of Oregon, Unp
versity of Washington and Stanford,
with the latter the weak sister Of the
quartet.
BY critics Stanford is not considered
as a serious contender and the contest
ts thereby narrowed to the three north
west schools, and interest centers on
the Oregon Washington game, which
will entertain Seattle fans tomorrow
afternoon. The Eugene artists have
a slight edge on the dope, but the 1870
to 0 drubbing which the northerners
handed out to whitman college last
Saturday has not instilled any great
amount of confidence In Coach "Shy'
Huntington's Oregon lads
Washington State, rated on paper as
the strongest team on the coast, should
have little trouble in disposing of Ida
no. and secondary interest In to-
rows game is, therefore. centered in
the Q. A. C.-California battle at Berk-
eley. Here California is slight favor
lite. due to Its performance in holding
w. 8. 9. to two touchdowns last Sat-
urday.

AS We w ere Saying
By Haywood Broun

nous difficulties OF making a play from
novel, no matter how fine the book
may be. In fact the better the book
the more difficult is the task Of the
dramatizer. The two methods Of telling
d story have little in common. The
novelist is apt 10 take his time in de-
veloping his characters. His art lies
in letting US know them bit by bit, but
the dramatist must make his sketch
quickly and be on his way. According
ly, the playwright usually avoids folk
OF great subtlety or leaves the fine
points of shading TO the actor. A char
acter who is transferred from book 70
stage is almost invariably coarsened
and cheapened in the process. Ger
tainly this is the result of snatching
Silas Lapham from the pages Of How
els. Moreover, novelist's story Is
very likely 10 be over-complicated and
slow-moving for dramatic purposes.
When reshaped into the dramatic form
many Of the values are lost and false
meanings introduced
But no matter how bad play "The
Rise Of Silas Lapham" may be, and II
seems TO be unusually lacking in dis
tinction, II is at least an attempt to
examine a period Of American life
which is pretty generally neglected by
our dramatists. These gentlemen ap-
proach American history as il there
were only three possible periods open
to treatment. Very occasionally we
have d play about the Revolution and
somewhat more often we deal with the
Civil War. Then again we have to-day.
If play does not fit into any one OF
these periods it simply doesn't exist.

Willy Pogany Explains
About Batik Costumes

Since 1.-THE Magic Melody" swept
into the Shubert Theater with its spec
tacular Batik costumes people have
been asking one another What in the
name Of heaven is Batik?" To solve
this problem for all concerned we IN
terviewed the artist, Willy Pogany, who
was responsible for the introduction
of Batik to Broadway.
Mr.. Pogany's definition of Batik is
that it is "Simply a most wonderful
method of putting artistic patterns and
designs in varied colorings upon ma
terial of the most delicate nature. In
fact tho more delicate the material
the more wonderful the color effect is.
There is no other method by which
the same results may be obtained.
THE method Is essentially Oriental,
having been worked out successfully in
Batavia and Java, in the Far East. In
Batik work. patterns are not mechan-
ical repetitions. but they are in fact
tho actual painting of the artist on
the material. No amateur could, there
fore. execute Batik work. II is expen-
siye. because il is necessarily the work
OF an artist of skill. 1t is not lot
tery. II is the most eXacting kind
Of artistic work.
THE famous modistes OF Paris are
to-day making extensive use Of Batik.
The Dutch originally brought the meth
cd over TO Europe for the making Of
draperies. The French applied it to
the making of gowns. 1t is now becom-
ing a fad. in Paris to wear these actu-
ally hand painted gowns which bear
no indication Of suffering from the in
congruities of painting. The re-
suit with Batik is that II looks as
though the artists painting was actu-
ally woven into the material No bro
cade can ever be as beautiful as
Batik. because brocade is essentially a
mechanical repetition OF the main pat
tern.
"Batik Is only in it- infancy, and
so the stage leads in its presentation,
but its use is sure TO become universal
in the more expensive and pretentious-
Iv decorated materials, whether they
are used for the making or gowns or
for decorative purposes.
"ln the hands of an amateur batlk
is unauestionably an awful thing ana
might leave the effect. some writer
said. which would result II you thre"
