Col. 8. T. Ansell if the War Department takes the recommenda- tions of Secretary Baker's latest board to investigate the system of military justice. This commission, appointed May 10 by Secretary Baker, is composed of Major Gen, Francis J. Kernan of the Kegular Army, Major Gen. John F. O’Ryan, former commander of the 27th Division, and Col. Hugh W. Og- den, a Boston lawyer, who served as Juage Advocate of the Rainbow Divi- sion, A preliminary report of the board, which has been filed with tpe General Staff, turns down the principal changes recommended by Lieut. Col. Ansell in all his pleas for court The board has recommended, how. ‘ever, that standing counsel for the jefense be provided for each general nd special court martial. ‘The indl- vidual will be changed from time to time, EXPERIENCED OFFICERS NEED- ED FOR BOARDS. The commission blames much of leged injustice during the war to inexperienced oflicers on courts and ‘ecommends that hereafter, in time of e, courts shall have a majority of their members from officers who have had at least two years’ experience in the service. “The copy proposed by the Acting Judge A cate General in concu rence with the war plans division, says the roport, “undertook to | troduce into the summary court- martial procedure heretofore existing, \|changes in the direction of increased paper work and increased formality. When we remember how the army labored for years to get a summary court, the procedure of which should be prompt, simple and freed from the laborious clogs of overmuch writing, any stép now, under the supp pressure of uninformed opinion, to elaborate tho procedure of that court is, in ‘the opinion of the board, most y | undeairadie. “The copy also undertook to intro- duce into our system a ‘soldiers’ counsel’ as a standing functionary. In the opinion of this board the de- tail of a subordinate officer thus singled out and made to appear as the specini friend and protector of the soldiers of that command would create therein am atmosphere of an- tagonism much to be regretted. CAUSE OF ANTAGONISM FEARED BY BOARD. “The basic assumption seems to be that offi generally are indifferent to the rij ‘and welfare of the sol- diers under their command, that a natural antagonism exists and that the soldier, if he is to depend upon his officers for justice in the general case, will fail to get it; and therefore a special protector must pe provided. Thore is in this proposed scheme a subtle suggestion of a state of things not existent in fact but which, if the scheme were in operation, would foon be developed. “The nearly universal and kindly interest now taken by officers in the welfaro of their men, and without which a decent and efficient army is ingonceivable, would be threatened by the new idea that the soldier is to be looked after-by a particu@r in- dividual whenever he falls under sus- picion, and that hence his natural protectors and friends are relieved of further responsibilities in this re- gard. Wb it these considerations the board has stricken out this proposed inno- vation, It has, however, substituted a rule that for each general and spe- cial court-martial standing counse’ shall be provided. This individual will change from time to time just as the trial judge advocate changes. “At any rate this plan by which at the same time and by the same au- thority the officer who is to prosecute and the officer who, in the general case, is to defend are named and selected from the same field of choice, ought to secure equality of skill as between the two sides. MOVES AGAINST RED TAPE IN COURTS MARTIAL. “The board has stricken out those Parts of the sutfMitted draft which un- dertook to fix rigidly the procedure between an appointing authority and his staff Judge Advocate. In general the plan submitted to this board re- quires the conferences between those officers upon the sufficiency of the case before trial to be a matter of record, and similar conferences after th? pro- ceedings are received to be similarly recorded and afterward forwarded to Washington. The board considers this unnecessary and inadvisable, “& commanding General and his staff should be permitted to transact their neceseary business through yer- bal exchanges across the top of a desk if, in their opinion, that method suf- fices, The custom of the service has always favored this method of pro- cedure, and no good reason occurs to this board why an ironclad set of rules should require this particular staft oMcer to treat with his superior in writing instead of orally, when tne latter method will serve the purpose. any result is to follow, would be in- terference from a distance in a rela- {and settled by the commanding o jand his assistant on the spot, MITTEE. proposed requirement that the The effect would be to exhibit to | Washington at times a diversity of opinions and the inevitable result, if ‘tion which ought to be harmonious or LACK OF CONFIDENCE BY COM- “The board strongly disapproves the att Buffet Porceloid Side Icer in quartered oak, golden finish; 48+ inches wide; Brees FD ge iatrarigth wide, 2D WNiCor!

The board has also proposed that the re- viewing authority have the benoft of the opinion of the staff Judge Advo- cate before stating his decision and orders, “This board has undertaken to sim- plify the investigation required before charges are f@warded for trial by general or special courts martial. In general, the board has endeavored to follow the idea that this is an in- vestigation and not a trial, and that oaths and an elaborate procedure are out of place. There are other minor chgnges perhaps, but those are the principal points whereon the opinion of this board suggests modifications In the final draft as submitted to it from the Judge Advocate’s office through th’ Chief of Staff.” ——>—_—_ FIGHT MINE NATJONALIZATION D@ish Coalitionists Hint at New Parilamestary Election.
