1.-THE Articles Of Wal provide 1or
the punishment of enlisted men
who disobey military orders. Are
we to suppose that colonel Ed

the same? This officers is not alone
in his alleged disregard for Memo

that Commanding Officers at Fort
Knox, Kentucky, Goldman Field,
Kentucky, Hendricks Field, Flor1-

misconstruing Memorandum NO. 81

view of using strong disciplinary
measures. We further urge that
