Some of the shops are open, but no body seems to be buying anything ex- eept where food is sold.
 The only autos going about the streets are those of the military and a few of the high government officials. These are used very sparingly, for gasoline is almost unobtainable. The water supply comes from wells and has to be distributed by a. pumping station.
 There are practically no autos. no gasoline, and no horses, and so every body walks The electric current is turned on late in the afternoon and turned off at 10 o'clock.

 At the United States army barracks at Columbus, O., Captain Francis M Doyle, -quartermaster corps, is under arrest and awaiting trial by court martial because he went over the head of his commanding officer in de nouncing the treatment of enlisted men in court martial proceedings.

 Doyles' request for stenographic copy of all evidence was denied.
 He then went over Colonel John sons head and wired protest to the commanding general of the central de- partment at Chicago, in which he de clared. among other things, that all the officers sitting in the court mar tial were 'unfitted to act in a judi clal capacity, lacking education and mental power to arrive at a logical conclusion; that one of the of the officers was especially notorious for his abuse of mem; that Colonel John son himself will not even allow a stenographer to be employed to safe guard the interests of the accused; that the court acted in a '.tyrannical manner" and he ended by iemanding that the accused boy be tried before an unbiased court martial
 For this, Captain Doyle himself now faces court martial. with severe pen alties, if he is found guilty.
 COUNSEL WRITES
 LETTER TO BAKER
 His civilian counsel, Attorney Big ger, in his letter to Secretary Baker. says:
 We believe that the manner and method of courts martial at the Co., lumbus barracks (which we belisve to be typical of courts martial throughout the entire country) will bear immediate investigation and in- spectiOn. We believe. with consider. able reason, that the interests of an accused enlisted man are not generally protected.
 There are provisions in the ar ticles of war intended to protect an accused man, but most of these pro- visions are notoriously ignored, or de hberately disregarded.
 If enlisted men generally could speak without fear of reprisals, thou sands of them would come forward to complain of the manner in which they have been tried, convicted and sen fenced by army courts martial.
 Instead of Captain Doyle now fac ing trial for openly complaining ! against the injustices that are heaped on enlisted men by courts martial, the whole court martial system should be placed on trial.
 When the public comes to realize the real facts, there is no doubt in my mind that an indignant public opinion Twill force the abolition of our present Prussianized system and substitute a system that insares an absolutely square deal to every soldier, whether he be enlisted man or officer. Tt is a sad travesty on American justice when every boy in our army, who goes before a court martial is assumed to be guilty before a syllable of evidence is taken.
 There must be need of reform 1 when the sworn word of an enlisted man counts for nothing against the i sworn word of any officer who either ' brings charge against him or testi- fieS against him
 T Will never believe that public ' opinion, if sufficiently enlightened, would countenance the terribly hard sentences that are generally meted out ] to enlisted men for even trivial in, ractions of army regulations. Many ! boy today are serving army prison sen tences of % years for crimes that, in civilian life they would have received sentences of only two or three years" definite phase. Therefore. he asked
