DEATH PENALTY
FOR WOMEN SPIES
Colonel West Says if Military Penalty
Was Modified Nation Would Soon
Be Overrun With Those of the
Fair Sex--WOuld Reduce Trials.

Washington, June 1.-The menace
Of the woman spy was brought out to-
day by Col. Eugene R. West, chief Of
the legislative section Of the judge adj
vocate's department, before the
courts-martial committee Of the Amer
lean Bar Association. Unless the
death penalty is provided for the con-
viction Of female as we'll as male spies
the United States would soon be over
run by the cleverest spies of them all,
he declared.
This statement came as the result
Of a question by Chairman Gregory,
who wanted to know il there should
not be provision excepting women
from the death penalty.
Edith CavelI's Death Just7
eve have heard much Of the case of
poor Edith Cavell,'" Colonel West
said, "yet | have become firmly CON
WINGED that she was subject to her
fate by the usual laws of war. Ger
tainly the French have put to death
women spies"
Colonel West agreed with the chair
man that it would only be consistent
with the Anglo-Saxo attitude on the
Cavell case to except women from the
death penalty, but he added:
II believe that woman spy de-
serves the same fate as 9 man spy.
Otherwise we would open the gates
wide to the most resourceful class of
spies that is known"
Provides Death for Drunkenness.
Colonel West brought out that the
Ansell measure adds new death PEN
atty to the laws Of war, that Of being
intoxicated while in the zone of COM
bat The present system, he says,
leaves punishment for drunkenness on
duty anywhere to the discretion of the
court-martial
Colonel West left with the commit
tee a series of changes which he
thought would cure the ills that had
caused the present inquiry.
Would Reduce Trials.
II would have three principal
changes made" said Colonel West.
First there should be more COM
plete preliminary investigation by
competent officers, thus reducing the
number Of trials by special and gen
eral courts. Second, only thoroly
competent officers should be detailed
to courts martial, thus insuring bet
ter courts. Third, better counsel
should be assured both the accused
and the government. With these
things accomplished there would be
no need of remedial legislation
The committee let it be known that
only two more days will be devoted to
taking testimony. An equal time, it is
planned, win be given to preparing a
report and it was indicated that no at.
tempt would be made to draw UP bill
to substitute for the Ansell measure
1t is probable, however, that number
of changes will be suggested for that
bill and also for the army regulations
relating to army accusations, trials
and punfshments.

PRINCE SHOOTS SELF
BUT RETAINS WIFE
Heir to Rumanian Throne Refuses Go
Quit plebian Helpmeet Despite
Royal Opposition.

Paris, June 12.-Crown Prince
Charles Of Rumania is suffering from
d bullet wound in the leg, self-in-
flicted, according to news reaching
Paris. The wound is not regarded as
serious.
The crown princes act, which has
caused a sensation in Bucharest, is
said to have been prompted by the
kings insistence that the prince
make six months trip to Japan to
forget Mile. Cecile Lambrino, the girl
from whom he was forced by his royol
parentfe to obtain a divorce because
abe was neither titled nor wealthy.
The queen has done her utmost to di-
vert Prince Charles mind from Ceeile
by trying to interest him actively in
her charitable works, but Charles is
still deeply attached to his former
wife and has frequently been seen in
her company. She lives in Bucharest
and recently gave birth to child,
which started gossip about the success
sion TO the throne, the heir to which
some say is Prince Nicholas, who is
studying in England, the crown prince
having, according TO report, renowned
his succession.
The crown prince created eonster-
nation in Rumanian royal circles last
year by marrying at Odessa, Mile. Ce-
cile (Seizi) Lambrino, daughter Of a
retired major in the Rumanian army.
For this escapade, King Ferdinand or.
dnred that he be given Is days soli-
tary confinement for absenting HIM
self without leave from his garrison.
All efforts at the time to have the
crown prince leave his wife were with
out avail

A SCOUNDREL UNCHANGED.
Enver Pasha Was the Brains of the
Atrocities of the Turk.
From the Outlook.

From the Outlook
1t is ardently to be hoped that the
recest dispatch reporting the capture
of Enver Pasha in some remote cor
ner of Trans-Caucasia is true. With
the exception Of his accomplice, Talaat
Pasha, no greater scoundrel ever
lived unchanged. He was the real head
of the Turkish government which,
with unconscious irony, called itselft
for time the committee of union and
progress. The control was in the
hands of Enyer, Talaat and Djimal.
Together they were responsible for
the massacre of perhaps million Ar
menians, Syrians and Greeks.
Enver was the brains of the crime;
the others were the brutal directors of
its execution. The three wholesale
murderers have been denounced by
the present sultan and he has hanged
one of their accomplices. If Enver is
not tried and executed by the now
cringing Turkish government, he
should be dealt with by the Allies.
Mr.. Morgenthau describes Enver
thus: Ellis nature had remorseless-
ness, lack of pity, cold blooded de-
termination, Of which his clean cut,
handsome face, his small but sturdy
figure and his pleasing manners gave
no Indication"
Enver and his accomplices betrayed
their country into the hands of the
Germans. Enver, particularly, simply
drove the Turks to war without au-
thority to act for them. When defeat
and disgrace came Enver and Talaat
fed after robbing the treasury of
many millions of dollars. They were
mean scoundrels as we'll as murderers
on colossal scale.
