BAKER uPHoLDs ARMY SYSTEM.
Approves kernan's Report Stating Re-
forms Would lnjure Discipline.


Washington. Aug. 25.--In approving
the report submitted to him by Mai,
Gen. Francis ]. Herman, head OF the
special war department board on
courts martial and their procedure,
Secretary Baker yesterday took the Of
fetal stand that the present system
should not be changed except in minor
details
lnfcrrentially, the secretary upheld
General Kernans view that courts
martial have always been agencies for
creating and maintaining the disci-
pline of armies" rather than agencies
for the nice exemplification of techni-
cal rules Of law"
The war department boards report
reflected the opinion of 225 officers who
were circularized. More than half Of
these gave hearty approval TO the
present system, forty-three condemned
1t as baslcally wrong and the remain
DER total of sixty seven. pointed out
specific Weaknesses which they
thought should be remedied. Tempo
rary officers were about equally d.
vided for and against any changes.
The most serious defect in the ex-
listing system. the report asserts,
arises from the lack of competent
trial Judge advocates and counsel" and
as remedy 1t is recommended that
defense counsel be appointed for each
general and special court martial. and
that special inducements be offered
young officers to study law.
'It is noticeable" the report said
that Officers who serve with fighting
units are as a class favorable to the
present . rtirles, while officers whose
duties kept them remote from the
scenes OF battle view the system with
a more critical eye"
Asserting that the Sovereign rem
edy' proposed by the most pronounce
critics is to transfer administration to
those who are lawyers first and SOL
diers by courtesy only. General Ker-
nan expressed the opinion that this
would make II impossible for the COM
mandcr to obtain the discipline neces-
sary to military success.
The report 'criticizes the pending
Chamberlata hill swhich would take
from the preasident and the war de-
partment heads the power to review
court-martiais findings and place ap-
peal "in civilian hands, pure and sim
ply"
Under such system, the report
holds. "the power to discipline effec-
lively in separately bound up with the
power Of effective command. would be
paralyzed."
Referring to charges that sentences
imposed upon soldiers for minor of
fenses have been 'grotesquely severe"
the report takes the view that. altho
such were the possible effects Of ap-
parently trifllng misdeeds in most
| cases. other factors justified the find
| ings.
Aside from the loss in discipline re-
! sultirg from unpunishcd acts oe dis
obedience the report says, there must
be faced the unfair proport ion ~ Gu
ties which fall upon the obedicn, SOL
dier as a result.
