Differences OF
OPINION ON ARMY
LAW ARE RADICAL
Lawyers And Military Off
Gals Have Conflicting
Views.

Washington, April ,23-The radical
difference of opinion exists not only
in military circles, but among law
yers, as to the present system OF mil
itary justice was brought out sharp
ly today before the committee of the
American Bar association in the con-
flictng views presented by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Sam II. Ansell, the Off
Ger of the regular army who is chief
assailant of the system, and Colonel
John Wigmore, temporary officer and
widely known as student OF law IN
civil life, but the most active defend
er of the present system in the abb
sence of Major General Crowder,
judge-advocate general.
"The court-maritla does not need
more law, but more facts" Col. Wig
more asserted, urging that amend
ment Of the present system to insure
perfectly fearless counsel for the &C
cused' to bring out the facts would
go far toward remedying such defects
as had been disclosed
Differs With Belief.
"There is feeling that by put
ting in more technical law we will
get more justice" he added. 81 do
not believe that"
Colonel Ansell, resuming his argu-
ment, which will not be concluded for
another day, defined the real issue
this way: E
whether military justice is going
to be conducted by hard and fast mil
itary rules. or going to take on an as
| meet of civil Justice"
eff we had had legal control from
the beginning of the proceedings" he
asserted, after displaying charts
showing the extensive machinery set
up in the judge-advocate generals Of
| flee to correct errors, eve would have
had no need for this great revisory
machinery at the top"
Colonel Wigmore took direct issue
with statements made by Senator
Chamberlain and Colonel Ansell. HE
quoted speech made by Mr.. Cham
! berlain on the floor of the senate
which declared that the army court
martial system represented neither a
systm of justice or system OF law
Position Is Hopeless.
J. eff any man, after any rational in
curry whatever, holds to that view,
Colonel Wigmore declared, che is
/ hopeless"
! Colonel Ansell in his argument to-
day recited figures to sho what 81
| per cent of the enlisted men brought
! to trial were convicted. About Z
per cent of the officers tried are
convicted. Colonel Ansell added, bu
continued:
"Of course, people in the army arr
not going around convicting enlisted
men because they are enlisted mel
and acquitting officers because the!
! are officers. That is not true; but w
/. do know tina THE officers get bette
trials"

include officially, recorded subscript-

by banks or which are in the pro-
cess of being reported to district head
quarters or compiled there.
Only 10 of the IL districts were
represented in figures given out to-
night by the treasury, the Kansas
City and Atlanta headquarters not
having submitted official reports.
The first complaints that the
treasury's official reports do not
fairly indicate the records of various
communities reached here today.
They were met with the explanation
that the figures given out by the
treasury at night in most cases were
transmitted bv districts managers
about noon of that day.

report the standing of some city as
of the night before, and this is re-

For nearly two years we have questioned 'why?' and as we ques- toned we have tried to do our duty, and in doing our duty we have been abIe to learn that even out of war, some good can come. One thing we have learned Gs appreciation of fel- lowship. Life will never be quite the same again. All classes have been leveled through a common suf- fering to one class and the spirit of fellowship.
