statement with a view to court
martial proceedings if it is found
that he has violated the articles of
war In employing the language used
in his statements. That question,
under army regulations, has no con-
nection with the truth or falsity of
any charge ae may have made.
On the second point Secretary
Davis feels that the war department
must demand a complete investiga-
ton by some agency outside the war
department, which must stand as the
accused party. To inject that ques-
ton into any courtmartial proceed
ings involving disciplinary question
could, In the judgment of the sec

plisf no good purpose in the public
mind since it would be a case of the

The third point, the truth or

par:ment could not pass, since it in

OF the acting war secretary, be
threshed out either by congress dir
ectly or some specially directed
