ASBURY PARK BABY
PARADE DRAWS 1000
Seven Hundred Children in
Line in Spectacle.

AsBuRY PARK, n. j., Aug. 27.--With
Gov. Runyon and a distinguished COM
pany OF State officials in the reviewing
stand, 700 children marched in Ocean
avenue here this afternoon in the twen-
ty-eighth baby parade. IL was the first
time in two years that the children held
their field day and $4,000 persons lined
the parade route for the spectacle A
Victory parade. in which 400 children
paraded with Miss Columbia and girls
dressed as representatives Of the allied
nations at their head, was another
feature.
The marching ranks of children dis
closed many handsomely decorated baby
carriages, floats and pony carts. There
was big division in which children
were dressed in fancy costume and
drePses fashioned of college colors. War
themes predominated and President VIII
son was a popular subject with the
marchers. A Tom Thumb wedding
party, which later enacted wedding
ceremony in front of Gov Runyon'i
box, was another attraction.
For the first time In the history of the
parade New Jersey was officially repre-
scented in the parade, the Bureau of Child
Hygiene having two floats, one sym
bolization Of the mother State protect
ing the children, the other a humorous
float depicting "A Strike in Babyland.'
The queen of the parade was nve-
year-old Anna Irene Psaki Of Forest
Hills, L. l., who was attended by COM
ps.ny Of 800 boys and girls dressed In
floral costumes. Miss Alice Brady, the
actress was the guest of honor for the
pageant. She rode over the parade
course in a gayly decorated automobile
and occupied box at the left OF the
queen.

never got beyond" Gen. Crowder. I'm
mediately, he said, he was relieved with
the knowledge IL not the suggestion OF
Secretary Baker'--from all duties re-
lating to military justice.
The truth is" said Mr.. Anseli, that
they didHt like my liberal views. OF
course they won't say 1t, but the facts
speak louder than words"
When he had opportunity later az
acting Judge Advocate General to re-
view court martial sentences and sent
clemency recommendations to Major
Generals, Ansell said, frequently he re-
ceived curt replies amounting to mind
your own business -
Secretary Baker later issued a gen.
eral order, prohibiting the Judge Advo-
cate General from making cieriency
recommendations, he said. but added
that in numerous cases, when he was
in charge Of the Office in the absence of
Gen. Crowder. he disregarded this order.
After the armistice, Mr.. Ansell stated.
army punishments, especially in camps
In this country, became more severe.
AT Camp Dix in particular, he said, pun
ishments were Shocking"
When he reported these conditions TO
Gen. Crowder. Mr.. Ansell said the
Judge Advocate General said he was
reluctant to act because he feared II
might be construed as IAN impeachment
OF the system of military Justice"
Ansell told the committee the appoint
ment Of Col. John Wigmore to the
clemency board set up In the War De-
partment did much to hinder his ef-
forts at securing clemency. After a pro-
test made by him, Col. Wigmore was
removed. he said, but Col. Easily Smith
an officer he regarded as more opposed
to his ideas than Col. Wigrnore, was as
signed to the board.
Between the treatment of the cases
of officers and enlisted men there is a
worldwide difference" said Mr.. Ansell
replying to a question. He declared
that In the cases Of officers there was a
long investigation before charges were
filed and that 1t generally was under
stood that there should exist IAN abso-
lutte necessity for trial.
The witness said that when officers
were dismissed it was difficult enough
for them to come back" but that in the
case OF the enlisted man who receives
d,shonorable discharge, his rehabilita-
ton was practically impossible.
I'VE follow the man with dishon-
orable discharge wherever he goes,
Ansell said. I'VE give him his yellow
sheet and wherever he goes We try to
keep him from getting a job. These
punishments are lifelong. Wherever the
army Is known his efforts at rehabiita-
ton are nil.'
