ARMY DISCIPLINE

In 4 discussion OF Army D!acl-
pline," apropos Of General AnseiIs
revelations of excessive sentences
imposed upon soldiers for conpara-
lively trifing ctfenses. The Chicago
Tribune, a journal Of peculiarly
twisted mentality, makes the remark
able assertion:
General Ansell'S testimony before
the Senate is based on a fundamental
Instrumentation. He thinks the first
object Of an army is justice. 1t IS not.
The first object Of an army IS victory
General Anscll is poisoning the public
mind against the army because he
wants his W bureau OF the army
the J&dge Advocate Gencrals-to Dc
given more power. He wants to be a
supreme court Of army discipline. He
is striking at the foundation of the
army-discipline.'
There is something remlnlScently
familiar about this style of argument,
says the Philadelphia Record" II
recalls the Zahern incident Of 1915
and the reasons given by Pruss!an
militarists for upholding the STRIPPING
lieutenant who cut down . lame cobb

tanned at all costs. 1t was stated then
that if Il German officer suspected i

justified in running his swo"! through
him.
There is 10 good relscn. so Tar
as Americans can see. why army dis
c;pline sho-ld. not have the same res
pcct for Justice that the c!vl! law IS
supposed to have. If We admit that
a Court martial is justified IN sending
a mere boy, unused to military ways
and the military point Of view, to 40
wears in PRISON. we are adopting the
Plussian theory Of iron-c': discipline
and army supremacy. That is II OF
the very things our troops thought
they were fighting against IN
France. Ne want no IabcTn affairs II
the United States, and the sureSt way
70 "uar! against them is TO have
army officers imbucd win i sense OF
Justice as we'll as Of discipline. Il
fragrant injustice TO soldiers is con-
doned in the army it will inevitably
lead TO that arrOngant attitude to-
ward civilians taken by German olli-
GERS. This helped to bring abo.t the
revolution in Germany. The Amer!-
can people should not be less z-nsi-
tive about sucil matters than the

NO RISE IN ICE COMING
Trade Predictions Are a Plentiful
Supply This Summer Also

There will be no increase in the price
of ice in Philadelphia next summer.
Furthermore, there will be no ice short
age, despite the open winter. Not only
will this city be taken care of, but eff
forts will be made TO send some of the
surplus to neighborng towns.
These comforting statements were
made by Samuel Freer, secretary of the
Ice Publicity Association.
Back Of the optimistic situation are
the forehanded measures taken by the
trade TO cope with conditions. More arti-
fetal ice than ever will be manufactured,
and the makers are expecting to ach
their maximum output of 1850 tons a
day, Last summer the output was often
20 per cent less than this.
The present price of ice as the house
holder buys it, is at the rate of sixty
cents a hundred pounds, according to
Mr.. Freer. This is the price that has
prevailed for year, the ice delivered.

ROTARY ARMY CLUB
SERVED 100000 MEN
Activities of Branch on Van
Pelt Street Reviewed as
Work Is Suspended

The Rotary Army and Navy club. -
South Van Pclt street, has ended its war
activities with record Of having served
I OO, 900 men in the service of the army
and navy
Though the club has been closed. the
parent body. the Rotary Club of Phila
delphia, will not cease other war service
activities. The club is taking an active
part in assisting the authorities in the
rehabilitation of disabled soldiers. Its
members are advancing the first months
expense money to disabled men who
have been gent to sb vocational training
school. The government pays such men
s65 month while they are taking the
course. but does not pay them until the
end of the first month. 1t is to tide the
men over during this preliminary period
that the Rotary Club is making its con-
tributon.
The service club in Van Pet street
was run at n large financial loss. due
to the cost" charges to the boys who
took advantage of its many facilities
The club members contributed volun-
tarly about $4,000 and an additional
$4,000 was allotted TO the work by
the War Chest.
The other sums necessary to run the
plant, which was an extensive one, were
obtained through small charges to the
boys for meals beds and other Incl
dentals. Meals We're served at actual
cost. Bed" for the night cost thirty five
cents and cots fifteen cents. These were
always supplied with fresh linen.
Dances were given every Wednesday
and saturday night from the time the
club opened, in February. 1918. until it
closed last night. More than 100 of
these dances were enjoyed by the men
and their friends. At the dances they
found socia! relaxation and pleasure
which they would have failed to obtai
otherwise, as many of the men taking
advantage OF the clubs entertainments :
We're strangers in the city.
On each Sunday night there was an
informal entertainment. From 500 to
500 men attended these affairs At The
period of the greatest demand most of
| the 23f beds were occupied nightly
| There was n natural falling off in the
! patronage of the club after the signing
! of the armistice.
! The first president Of the service club
| was Charles c. Tyler. Mr. Tyler was
succeeded in office by Charles "A. Stin.
son.
