this afternoon. The measure embraces
virtually all offences against the mill
tary laws. with the exception of high
treason and desertion in the face of the
enemy. Mutineers Of the Black Sea
fleet are not included and must serve
their sentences.
Adoption OF the amendment came
after a dramatic speech by Deputy Jade
OF Finistere, who commanded a COM
pany throughout the late war. He re-
called that before Souan in Champagne
orders came TO execute a surprise at
tack in broad daylight without artil-
lery preparation. Jade refused TO send
his company over the top. but he was
not court-martialled.
According 10 the narrative OF the
denrty-veteran the officers or the com
pany next in line ordered their men to
attack but the latter refused TO leave
the tren hes. saying they preferred to
be shot 4 buried where they We're
rather than lang on the barbed wire for

division then instructed the French
artillery TO turn Its guns on the trenches

speaker. several men Of the company
were tried and shot, although a short
time previously they had volunteered for
a dangerous and hazardous mission.
This execution was aboninable T. he
then shouted. and | ask the Govern
ment 10 give US guarantees against
similar outrages IN the future and re-
dress for those condemned now lying

Deputy Ignace, who had opposed the
amendment, Immediately moved its
adoption, Louis Barthou seconded Il, and
the amendment was voted unanimously.
