Endless avenues OF discussion on

court-martial against Col. William
Mitchell Thursday night, really means,
continued to be exploited throughout
official Washington today with en-
phasis laid on the possibility that
recommendation will be made by the
reviewing board for notifications III

status for the next five years.
Partially has not or does not enter
into the countless arguments on the
subject. This is borne out by the fact
that those officers who indirectly play
ed part against him In his trial, or
were in sympathy with the prosecu-
ton are as much in maze for a con-
else Interpretation Of the sentence as
the pro Mitchell element.
Penalty Questioned.
The constitutionality of the sentence
was raised in reliable quarters today
because, it was argued, if the punish
ment is carried out to the letter, the
personal welfare of the officer would
be vitality affected. Although the
colonel is wealthy, in the question OF
law the ability of a prisoner to with
stand punishment, is not raised. There
fore, to deprive him of pay and allow
ances for five years and still retain
control over him as an integral part
of the Army, although without rank,
command or duty, could not be sane
toned, it is claimed.
To this end, it was confidently pre-
dicted by legal experts in the Army,
that the board of review, or possibly
the President, could modify the SEN
tense to include a portion of his pay
and specify a certain line OF duty.
which would keep him just within the
jurisdiction of the Army and prevent
any outside activities.
However, a loop-hole was thrown
open to the colonel to escape from the
punishment in case a resignation is
not accepted. by recent law to the
effect that If an officer of the Army
accepts and performs the duties of a
civil office, he therefore vacates his
connection with the Army. In fact, he
is summarily dismissed.
Court Lighters Burden.
One thing stood out certain today
as a means of preventing the general
discussion from reaching serious pro
portions, which is that the courts
