COURT-MAR7|AL SYSTEM
IS UNFAIR, SAYS ANSE[L
Tells Audience Many Officers on
Boards Are Unjust and
Untutored.

In an address last night at Wilson
Normal School, before members Of the
North Carolina Society, Lieut.. Col.
Samuel T. Ansell, U. s. A. formerly
acting judge advocate general, de-
clared that the Army court-martial
system is grossly unfair. and accused
many of the officers sitting in the
proceedings of being unjust and un-
tutored.
I'm the Army Of the old days." Col.
Ansell stated. 1.-The aggregate of in
justice was so small as not to chal-
lenge the attention Of the American
people The deficiency of the present
system was not due to the fact that
the Army grew to such large proper
tions and recruited a large number
Of men and new officers. Neither
was it due to the lack of quality of
these men, but it was due to the
fact that the system is fundamentally
and inherently wrong. and was just
as wrong when it was administered
by the old-time Army officer as it is
today"
