Military Affaira Committee, and that
of other members of Congress, ex?
pressed both privately and in debate,
is of any value as a criterion, Acting
Judge Advocate General Ansell is In
a fair way to win a fight for making
military justice the real justice that
he has born waging for twelve years
or more.
General Ansell has made a deep im?
pression on the Senators of the Mili?
tary Affairs Committee, tioth by rea?
son of his encyclopedic knowledge of
his subject and his profound under?
standing of both civil and military
jurisprudence. They n:e also im?
pressed by 1;is remarkable courage in
so boldly dealing with a subject where?
in ho has to front ? compact body of
military prejudice and interest that
is almost solidly opposed to him.
The fact that General Ansell is a
West Pointer of some twenty-four
years' service, gives his testimony and
advice a degree of weight that would1
not attach to the opinion and judg?
ment of a temporary officer, who might
be assumed to be personally resentful
of military ways. The Senators are
so surprised by his audacity in facing
what they are now convinced is a
hoary citadel of military iniquity that
he was minutely examined to-day as
to what had been the consequences to
him of his long advocacy of military
judicial reform.
Relieved From Duty
General Ansell said that because of
his views he was relieved in the latter
part of 1918 of duties in connection
with the section of "military justice"
in the judge advocate general's depart?
ment. He found no fault with this
removal, and no matter how good and
obedient a soldier he might be, his
views, varying as they did from those
of the judge advocate genera!, Crow
der, made it somewhat embarrassing
for him to try to administer a policy
that profoundly differed from his su?
periors.
He admitted also that about ten days
ago he was again relieved of the same
duties, to which he was restored last
summer. lthough he is acting judge
advocate general, he is no longer offi?
cially concerned with the affairs of the
section of "military justice," to which
he has devoted so much attention.
Senator Thomas thought this "relief"
was a matter of coincidental signifi?
cance, but General nAsell would not
concede that that was necessarily .so,
as there might have been' other rea?
sons for the circumscribing of his
duties. At any rate, he is no longer
in a position to continue his labors
for the correction of the errors of mili?
tary courts along the lines f his ideas.
Advises Commission
In advising the committee to-day of
improvements he would make in the
pending Chamberlain bill to reform
military judicial organization and pro?
cedure, which he warmly approves in
principle. General Ansell concurred in
a suggestion made by one of the Sen?
ators that it would be wise to create
some sort of commission or court to
review under authority of Congress
that would be empowered to review all
military convictions during the war
with a view to revoking all that are
contrary to the fundamental principles
of law and in defiance of the constitu?
tional rights of the accused.
Executive clemency, he said, could
undo much of the wrong.that had been
done, but in order to fully cleanse the
record of a man unjustly convicted it
would require, in his opinion, specific
extension of power by Congress. He
| cited as an illustration of his meaning
; the cases of men unjustly convicted
?and dishonorably discharged.

'Y'Girls'Fudge Pau
Routs Gen. Gloom;
In Big Irish Battle
American Soldiers Were Sad j
and Complained of Rain j
Until They Caught Sight ]
of "Faces from Home"
LONDON, Feb. 15.?When it became
j evident to the authorities that even
a sailor was not meant to live by
scenery alone, even in Ireland, it was
| fixed up that a Y. M. C. A. girl hostess
be sent to the "Y" hut in Aghada to
help lighter, the dragging hours, for
time hangs as heavy as the clouds
there. And the clouds are the very
reason. They spill over every day and;
make Ireland a land to dream about,
but not to be in.
Ruth Tattershall. of White Haven.
Penn., was the first girl sent, and she
was followed two days later by Miss
Caroline Arbus, of New York City.
Miss Tattershall went with a Kuilty
conscience, concealing something, the
fact that her only accomplishment was
making fudge. She had r.lwnys
lamented this iack of training. It had
kept her for months from volunteer?
ing. Sorrowfully, she watched her
talented friends go across to sing and
play for the soldiers till at last she
could stand it no longer. She volun?
teered and went to Aghada, opposite
Qucenstown, in Ireland.
Muddy Road to Dublin
All the mud that wasn't in Flanders
was in Ireland, and most of it in
Aghada. The war was too far away to
give the sailor something big enough
to keep his mind off the mud. No
matter where his mind was?in heaven,
wherever you like his feet were in
the mud, and it told on his morale.
The sentiment was: "If Ireland is
heaven, bury me with my raincoat on."
It was. with this mountainous job
of combating nature that the first Y.
M. C. A. girl landed in Aghada. And
she had nothing to do it with except
a fudge pan.
For a while she felt that, she needed
the "Y" more than the sailors did.
But her morale picked up when she saw
what an American girl really meant to
the men. "Look! A 'Y' girl!" she
wou]> hear them say. "An American
girl! A. girl from home!"
"You are the first American girl I've
seen in fifteen months, and I want to
talk to you so much. I've just lost my
mother, and it would help so much to
talk to a good American girl for a lit?
tle while," said one sailor, approach?
ing, cap in hand.
Quite naturally, and without think?
ing that it was her sole accomplish?
ment, Miss Tattershall replied:
"Why not come, into the hut and we
will make some fudge and have a little
chat?"
And from that hour fudge had a
more important, bearing on the morale
of the American forces in Aghada than
any inspiration of the war. The fudge
pan became sort of a cup of friendship.
The next day when a second "Y" girl,
Miss Caroline Arbus, appeared, two
heads got together with the result
that the two young ladies asked tho
sailor if he wouldn't like to take tholfi
to dinner at his mess.
"Oh, Fudge" Routs (.loom
"Would you really go?" the sailor
asked in delighted surprise. And that
night the Y. M. C. A. girls dined at
the enlisted men's mess. The next day
it was the petty officers who invited
them, then the warrant officers and the
commissioned officers. This completed
a circle that is still running. In the
mean time the girls brought out the
fudge pan .every evening and holiday
afternoon and gave a crowded fudge
party.
Finally they reached a standing
where one of them was asked if she
would go walking with a certain sailor.
She went in slicker, nor'wester and
rubber boots, and the lad spent th*
whole time telling her about the girl
back home, and asking if she would be
waiting for him when he got back there.
One night an older sailor, on learn?
ing that the Y. M. C. A. girls were in?
terested in everything that interested
the men, held a party attended by
more than a score of jackies who
proudly displayed to them all their
treasured photographs of folks back
home. The older sailor had just re?
ceived a picture of a granddaughter,
and he was so proud of it that he con?
tributed 8 shillings' worth of sugar
to the party.
What They Think Of
One of the "Y" girl's ideas was a
"Happy Thought Book" for collecting
all the witticisms and epigrams of the
r.ailors. Most of these followed one
line of thought?Ireland.
"God bless Ireland; He's always for?
gotten it before," Keith Horning, of
Portland, Ore., wrote.
Others and their particular inspira?
tions were:
Frederick J. Andrews, Merrimac,
Mass.?"Ireland, but not forever."
J. C. Townsend, Baltimore?"You
can't live on scenery alone."
R. B. DeRonde, Peekskill, N. Y.?"If
Ireland is Heaven, burji me with my
raincoat when I die."

Capital and Labor Are
Asked to Join Hands
Prof. Farnam, of Yale, Declares
Mutual Understanding Is
Needed in United States
NEW HAVEN, Feb. 15.?A call to
Americans to lay aside their personal
differences and unite for the promotion
of industrial supremacy was issued here
to-night by Henry W. Farnam, profes?
sor emeritus of economics at Yale, in a
lecture on "Reconstruction and Indus?
trial Organization."
The term "reconstruction," Professor
Farnam said, hardly applies to the in?
dustrial organization in this country,
for it .implies a previous destruction,
and our own internal organization has
not been dstroyed. But it has de?
veloped defects, he granted, thus mak?
ing the problem one of repair rather
than one of rebuilding. He contended
that the lack of personal contact and
mutual understanding between labor
and the employer is responsible for
strikes and lockouts, for restlessness
among the workers and for a wasteful
turnover of labor.
Industrial progress cannot be at?
tained, the. educator contended, by Bol?
shevism or a passive attitude. These
two extremes, he insisted, can produce
nothing, and he urged that less time be
devoted to debating how the product of
labor shall be divided and more time to
increasing the product._

National Guard
Proved by War,
Says Wingate
General Protests Agaiust \
Tendency in Washington I
to Belittle Organization i
Serious Handicaps Shown
Pleads for Legislation to
Permit Fighters to Go{
Back to Old Commands j
By General George W. Wingate
During the hearings before the Con- j
gressional committees on the Dick and
Hay bills and upon many other occa
sions various high army officers and
representatives of the War Department i
insisted, particularly through inspired
publication, that the National Guard !
of the states was practically of no
value as a military organization, that i
it could not bo controlled by the War
Department, but few of its members
would respond to a call from the Presi?
dent for active service and that those
who did so would not, serve outside the
United States.
Afe the same time they asserted the
army, small though it was, was ready '
for service, and it either had the sup- i
plies necessary to tit it and also the
Guard to do this or it had arranged
so they could he procured when re?
quired.
Texas having been invaded and it3
border threatened, President Wilson on
July 10, 1916, ordered to Texas much of
the regular army and the National ]
Guard of the states. It was three '
weeks before the former reached the !
border. The National Guard of New
York and of many other states were
in their armories in forty-eight hours. !
But their service equipment, which the ;
government was supposed to have ready,
| did not come for months. In fact, I
! some of the organizations were not !
j fully supplied at the end of their six i
months' service in Texas.
Sent to Border Without Uniforms
It appeared that the War Department :
had planned that the regiments it
' callad out would go in a leisurely way ;
to different camps, where they would
j be equipped while being organized and :
! instructed, which, it was estimated,
would take three months. But the j
emergency was pressing and the Guard
was hustled to Texas so rapidly that it
was short of almost everything. Many
recruits went in citizens' clothes, and
the field artillery for several weeks
after their arrival only had ammuni?
tion enough to fight their guns for
twenty minutes?much less than Villa
had.
The National Guard then had a total
paper strength of 130,000. On July 22
it had on the border 92,000 and in
camps 33.266, making 125,266. In a
month and a half it had 110,000 on the
border. Compared with this, the regu?
lar army on March 13 was authorized
to be incro-/;ed by 20,000, and had from
'.hat time to August 31 obtained 8,463
recruits, leaving it at that time 29,300
short, and on December 1, 1916, had a
combatant strength of 52,000 and 17,000
coast artillery; total, 69,000.
When the Guard returned at the
close of 1916 its organization had had,
as above stated, six months' service
under war conditions and under the
direction of regular officers. They
were, therefore, "fit to fight."
Guard Reduced on Eve of War
Notwithstanding that relations with
Germany in the beginning of 1917 were
greatly strained and virtually all mili?
tary students and most thinking peo?
ple regarded war as inevitable in the
near future, the Guard was ordered to
be reduced to its peace strength. Con?
sequently its organizations had to dis?
charge about half of their trained men,
who scattered to the winds. Then in
April, 1917, came the declaration of
war and the Guard again was called
out. It responded with alacrity, but
how it missed the trained soldiers it
had been compelled to discharge! It
I was sent to different camps and fran
i tically endeavored to procure recruits.
It was successful in doing this to a
great extent in a short time. But the
men it secured were green and had to
j be hardened and trained.
The method in which this was man
I aged by the War Department deserves
nothing but praise, and showed that
the failure on the border had been a
most valuable lesson. The idea of the
draft was a stroke of genius.
But what the Guard had accomplished
in Texas had not seemed to alter the
feeling in the War Department against
it. Whether from this reason or not,
a systematic effort was instituted by
the military authorities in Washington
to break it up.
No Credit for Service
Thus it was provided in the law
passed by Congress at their instigation
i that the members of the Guard at the
? expiration of the term of service under
the President's call should not, as had
been the case in the Civil War, the
Spanish War and "the peace war on the
border," return to their state organiza?
tions, but should become civilians, so
if they should desire to return to the
Guard they must enlist for a full six
year term (three years with the colors
and three in the reserve), without any
credit for their previous service, but as
ordinary recruits, which, of cource,
! they never would do.
; But the guard was given even a
! harder blow than this. Not only his?
tory but common sense recognizes that
the "esprit du corps" of an organiza?
tion adds largely to its value. Some
of the National Guard organizations,
such as the City Troop of Philadelphia,
go back to the Revolution. Many of
the others antedate the Civil War and
served in it. Each of these had many
members whose fathers and grand?
fathers had served in it in their youth.
Yet the War Department deliberate?
ly and successfully "scrambled" these
different organizations so as to
destroy th^ir identity and the esprit
de corp.'? which went with it. In New
York part of the 7th was added to the
69th and with detachments from the
23d and the 14th became the IC5th.
Yet the public attachment tp the old
National Guard organization is such
that the 165th is habitually spoken of
as the "old 69th." The rest of the
7th was mixed with part of the 14th
and 23d. or other new regiments in
the 106th.
Organizations Broken L'p
Other organizations lost their iden?
tity in the same manner. The 1st
Cavalry was broken up into machine
gun companies, although there were
then and for months afterward, no
machine guns, and directly afterward
a new regiment of cavalry was formed.
As vacancies were caused by casualties
in these organi?ations they were filiert
by drafted men. The Guard, however,
showed its soldierly training by obey?
ing ordern without, a murmur.
Tho 42d Division was made up of a
National Guard regiment from each
state, hence its name "Rainbow
Division" and tho idea was not a bad
one, as New York was about the only
?tute which had Guardbmcn enough to
'Plane Flies From IS. Y.
To Pacific in 40 Hours
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 15.? I
The return flight of Major
Albert Smith from New York to
San Diego, completed last night,
was made in between thirty-five
and forty hours, or from fifteen
to twenty hours under the flving
i
time on the trip from San Diego l
to New York, it was said to-day
at Rockwell Field.
The official flying time from
San Diego to New York was :
fifty-five hours, but the return
time has not been compiled,
though Major Smith said it prob- j
ably would be between thirty
five and forty hours.
Of the five 'planes which orig?
inally comprised the transconti?
nental air mapping squadron,
that piloted by Major Smith was
the only one to make the round
trip intact. The 'plane carried,
in addition to the extra airplane
parts, a dog kennel and a full
grown police dog.
make a complete division, as it did with
the 27th.
These different organizations spent
practically a year in camps in this
country in intensive instruction, under
supervision of French, British and
Canadian experts, and United States
regular officers, and were sent to
France beginning in May, 1917.
During all this time, however, the
feelinp: in army circles against them
rather increased than diminished. West
Pointers, who had graduated without
serving their full course and had
never commanded troops, and Pitts?
burgh graduates, who were usually
civilians with only a month's training,
were stated and assumed to be better
officers than men who had served years
as commanding; officers in the Guard
and in the previous six months on the
border under service conditions and
?the supervision of regulars.
Army Prejudice Charged
In fact, as late as last June, the j
general talk in army circles in Wash?
ington was that the National Guard
organizations then in the service were
of such poor character that a regiment
of drafted men commanded by Pitts?
burgh graduates was superior to any
of them. It was even reported and
generally believed that General O'Ryan
would not be allowed to retain his
position as commander of the 27th
Division, "because he was a National
Guardsman."
The test that has since come in
France has proved the fallacy of all
this talk. The 27th Division.
which is composed entirely of Na?
tional Guardsmen, has done most des
pcrate fighting, broken the Hinden
burg line and been cited for its ex?
ploits, and Genera] ORyan has been
decorated.
The 42d has shown the same
efficiency and gallantry. Many Na?
tional Guard organizations from
other states have earned equal credit.
It is therefore, not surprising that
a bill has been introduced in Congress
to allow their members, after their
discharge, to return, if they so desire,
to their old organizations of the Na?
tional Guard and that Congressmen
are beginning to voice their praises
of the conduct of the Guardsmen in
service.
The men who have served glorious?
ly in these and other National Guard
organizations are now returning to
find themselves "out in the cold," ex?
cept in the very few states (if there
are any except New York) which have
organized a new state guard, so the
returning Guardsmen will find their
organizations virtually have ceased to
exist and their states have no mili?
tary force to keep the peace, until
Congress enacts some option of uni?
versal military service or substitute
for it, which is in the distant future.
' They will also find that in all the
? states, whether they have or have
i not a new Guard, the returning Guards
| men do not belong to it, but when they
are mustered out will become civil?
ians. This should be remedied, and
at once.
Is not now also an appropriate time
j for those in Washington and else
i where, who hav. for so many years
j belittled and scoffed at the National
I Guard, conspicuously and publicly, to
I take back what they have said about
the National Guard, which assertions
the events of the war.in France have
i demonstrated to have been dead
! wrong?
Gems From a Virginia
Sermon by Billy Sunday
Billy Sunday dropped on his knees
upon his platform at the City Audi?
torium last night and, pfeering over
the edge?figuratively into the abyss
of hell?he flung a defiant challenge
i at the evil one.
"Go back into hell,, where you be
I long, Devil!" he shouted in his husky
; voice. "It isn't as far from Richmond
| to hell as it was a week ago. Devil!
i Come on, do your worst! There are
men and women in Richmond who
i will not sell out to the devil at any
price! "
And the evil one having, as it were,
retreated before the strength and ef?
fectiveness of the onslaught of the
servant of God, the evangelist con
; tinued his supplication for divine ap
| proval in a conversation with the Lord
; Jesus Christ Himself.
Standing on top of his pulpit, to
! which he had sprung with the aid of
| bis sturdy chair as he brought his
| sermon to a dramatic climux a few
! minutes before, Mr. Sunday bad de
1 manded the answer of Richmond to
i the solution of "the problem of the
! twentieth century," . . . Man de
