MILITARY COURTS.

i- wasn't so very long ago that at 'sntion was halted by inc long sen rencos which were given ty military courts So'iiers were sent to prison fo- long terms for ofeuse, which seemed trivial in comparison with thcse daily dealt with in courts Of justice But it was insisted. and read iiy recoEnI Ized. that discipline must be maintained and that much depended upon Inc way in which such cases wr-" handled as To what respect would bo given to officers and orders.
 There arr now available statistics ta show that there were over third Of 70 million trials by court martial in tto army rom the tune we entered the war up to the fourth or February -nd the sentences imposed ranged all -he wlv from days up 10 70 years, while there were not l few cases where sentence or death was imposed. How many executions took place we have not been informed but there were fi cases oe manelaughtcr and 14l of murder though no- an or the sen .ruccS of death were imposed for that "er'l' t'. -lN' IIalI- bl post treason and other ofens0s which endanCer an army are punishable by death.
 Tn many or these cases where death Feutences were imposed ccmmulatior 1f sentence was given by the presi- dent and now many vino received long prison sentences are having their terms greatly reduced, This was what vas expected inasmuch as the long ssntences were regarded as object les sons for others. but the claim is made That the court martial is far from be. iUg what it should be and that thc safeguards which are given prisoner, lnder civil law are entirely lacking. 4 committee Of tho American Bar as. sociation is considering this matter with the idea of removing the inius. ice and there can be little question put what it deserves attention. Disci. pline in the army must of course b, maintained but it should be done witt justice.

TO THE EDITOR
Gardner Lake Fishing.

MT. Editor: The letter of MT. Browns in The Bulletin this morning was certainly very amusing. MT. Brown posing as an ardent sportsman interested in the improvement of fish ing conditions and at the same time opposing law which is as fair to him and everyone else as to those advo eating it.
 MT. Brown could certainly not be interested in the fishing welfare of the lake, for if he was he would not take the view which he has of the matter.
 l will admit MT. Brown may have placed some fish in the lake, the same as a great many others have done, but after all isn't MT. Browns interest in opposing this law a selfish one? If it were not. he would be in the same po sition as those advocating the law
 It may or may not be true that his brother, who owns place on the lake, is opposed to this law, because he will not be able to rent as many boats to the fishermen coming to the lake when the number of days is limited to three instead of allowing unlimited fishing days. Is that any good reason why there should not be a limited number of fishing days placed on the lake? His argument about the cutting out i of the SunCcoy fishing, which l pre- sume he referred to, becomes absurd l when you realize that this law and no other law can touch the question of i fishing on Sunday, as that is already a violation of the law
 1 It is just as fair for one as it is for 1 the other to place a limited number on l the fishing days and everyone inter- 1 ested in good fishing is perfectly will
 ing to put up with the inconvenience
 which it imposes upon everyone alike for the sake of improvement that vii result from it.
 There are some two or three hun dred campers at/ the lake the whole summer some of them fishing in the lake every minute of the day. No
 one of them ever assisted to replenisf the fish in the lake and most of those
 who oppose this limitation are the one! to pull fish ouG and never put one ill Possibly we will not include MT Brown amongst this number, as he ha: put fish into the laFe, but his motive for opposing the law is very apparent | There is no reason in the world wh! any fair minded man sho-4ld oppos a law which is as fair to one as it i
 to the other, and he should be Willin;

Jews has been caused by enemies of Poland, while the Bohemian alliance declares that the charges against Bo- hemia is probably due to the fact that orders were issued for the Galician war refugees of whom many were Jews, to return home inasmuch as the war was over and there was no reason why they should stay away from their own communities. Later con- Gitions showed Galicia to be too un- settled and the order was changed, but the alliance is emphatic in it's declaration that the first order was not given because the refugees were Jews.
 Much sympathy has been manifest ed' in behalf of the Poles and the Czechs but not with the thought that those people would turn upon others and inflict as hard treatment as they lad been receiving. There have been demands for investigations of the sit uation, and certainly it seems as If too much haste cannot be made in getting at the real facts not only for proper protection of the Jews but for the benefit of those against whom the charges are made

Tn view Of the outcries which have been made In regard to the treatment which has been accorded Poland dur ing the war. and the desire of the Czechs 10 be freed from the yoke of oppression under which they have been kept, # is a strange situation which now exists in the territories where those respective peoples are in control relative to the Jews. If the reports are true the Jews are being made 10 suffer all kinds Of cruelties and hardships and it is being claimed that they are being hunted and mur- dered. Pogroms are said to have been carried out in Poland and Jews are said 10 have been expelled from Bo- Ecmia.

WHERE THE TROUBLE IS.

The director of fire prevention in Indianapolis has ordered a hotel in that city closed. There was a fire in the hostelry recently whereby two of the guests lost their lives and the di- rector declares that Conditions there now are even worse than they were when the fire started"
 It has been shown by an investiga- tion that the railways of the hotel had no red lights to denote the exits ond that the building had but one fire escape. and the Indianapolis News says Why it should always be nec- essarv to wait for such a disaster be- fore finding out such things remains a puzzle"
 Just why it should he a puzzle $ difficult 10 understand for if there are fire prevention regulations in that city and no attempt has been made to comply with them it would seem to he plain enough that not only was the hotel guilty of violating the law and therefore unjustly endangering the lives of it's guests but it is per factly apparent that there was negli- Ecnoc in the enforcement or the reg Tlations, or else those who are SUD- posed to enforce them have found tha+ they lack the proper authority.
