Washington Bureau J
washington, April 21.?what s
lounted to a sweeping arraignment .
Lieutenant Colonel Samuel T. An- I
1!, of tho handling of the investiga- \
>n of the court martial system in (
s ..-.".ly by tho special committee of I
e American Bar Association, reisulted
much acrimony at the eommittoe's '
sfeion to-day. ^
Judge S. S. Gregory. chairman of the 1
anmittee, interrupted Colonel Ansell *>
me after time in the midat ..f his 1
tding of a prepared Btatement at
king the committee, to deny Colonel -
sell'a attacks.
You have a prc.iliar attitude of
?picion," said Judge Gregory, "and
j do r.ot seem lo have the capacity, '
ich an older man would have of
tting yourself in the other feUow's '
ice. You havo h narrowness of
iw in approaching this whole ques
?n, rather tl an the breadth of vision ?
[ich j ...i should ike." 1
upting a little later, just after
ilonel Ansell had commonted sarcas- ?
plly on the calling of all the ox
sretariea of War, Judge Gregory told
i he was mistaken, that the com
'.... had merely notiftod tho former
:rotaries it would be glad to hoar
>m thi in if they had any suggoationa.
a matter of fact, he said, ho hnd not
ard from any one of them, and did
: now expeel any of them ti> toatify.
Promlscs Some New Facta
inaiatod thut he was
' - to i*i\e the committee some new
. "although you are well m
? 'd."
"At a late date in your hoaiings,"
olonel Ansell said, "you have asked
e to appear before you. T do so
ly and with pleasure, even ox
ig regrret that you have not seen
to ca'.i mo sooner.
"Vou yourselves, so far as \ am
are, have never deiined the subject '
?l are to investigate or framed the
sue you are to answer. The logic [
the situation, as well aa public
inion, it seems to me, has det';ned
for you. There are those who hold
e view and have said that the existing
rst :m of military justice is archaic,
l-American, oppressive and leads to
injustice as to rcquire immediate '
an . rauical reformation. Such is my '
of ii and I perhaps am regarded, ,
. b'.ic opinion at least, as the most
ounced exponer.t.
>n the other side are those in high- |
i military authority who strongly |
defend the system and who havo en- !
deavored hy the use of the organized I
power of government ar.d otherwise to
have the people believe that this sys- |
tem is modern, liberal. has not resulted I
in injustice and is worthy of popular t
esteem and confidence.
;- Conflict of Principles
"Such, I should suppose, is the state
nent of the issue. lt involves no per
aonalities in any such sense as would
justify you in avoiding them or the
It involves persons only in the
that conflictine principles at?
tempted to be estabfished in govern?
ment must involve those who respec
tively support and advocate them. And
the merit of contending principles can?
not he.;i be understood by avoiding
i.earuig either i - of supporters.
"You took up the investigation of
4he system of military jurtice doubt
?ess by reason and dn the light of the
icriticisms I had made of it. It would
/? seem natural, logical, in accord with
the usual methods ot legal investiga?
tion, as well as the only method of
getting at the truth, fur you, at the
outset, to have. offered me the fullest
and fairest opportunity to pre.-ent to
you my specific criticisms, my evi
idence of the defficiencies of the exist?
ing system : and my views of the
proper remedies, and I should have
been given reasonable opportunity to
have you hear at least those persons
who iha i '! v th me tl e hurdens of
the actuai administration of the office
of Judge Advocate General for thc
greater part of this war. And then,

Su; s Committee Ignorcd Him
"None ? r this, I regret to say, did
you do. Instead, you ignored me, my
views, my very existonco, until you
were nearing thc end of your hearing,
You have shut your eyus to my lela- ;
tionship to this vital question, and
you havo deigncd to regard me simoly
as an offlcer having no special knowl
cflge of, or interest in, thc subject
you are investigating. Until last
Thursday you had not permittcd me
to know, except as the world knew,
of your existence.
'?You then called upon me and ex- j
tended me an invitation to address
you as early as I conveniently could, '
and you preferred that I should do
so that very afternoon, m view of your .
anticipated early termination oi' the
investigation.
"On the other hand, it is apparent
that ever since you assemblcd here, on
or about March 25, you have taken an
attitude o? cooperation and concur
rence with the War Department and
those officers who are so intent upon j
retainir.g the existing system.
"I am advised, and I believe, that you
have been in frequent conference and
communication with the Secretary of
War, the Chief of Staff, the Acting
Judge Advocate (who himself, o?
course, communicates easily and di?
rectly with the Judge Advocate Gen?
eral), and with certain officers who
are notoriously known to represent
personally and officially the Judge Ad?
vocate General, his views and his de
sires. The War Department and the
ofTice of Judge .'Advocate General
placed themselves in dircct and im
mediate contact with you. and in my
judgment they have established such a
relationship to you that the views of
those who differ with the Judge Ad?
vocate General and the War Depart?
ment and who by them have been
denied fair consideration are likewise
now to be denied fair and thorough
consideration at your hands.
? i am further advised and believe
that the witnesses called by you have,
i in a way that precludes thc s'uggestion
oi ? iere coincidence, represented but
1 one side, the views of the judge advo?
cate general and the department.
"Those matters I must think are but
| mistakes as to methods. owing, doubt
j less, to a failure on the part of the
; comm tt'ee to apprr-ciate thc situation
i and what. the situation requires of
them if then- investigation is to be
thorough, reliablc and effcc.tive. Th^re
i is, however, one matter that affect? the

Defeat Every Legislator
Who Aided Ratilication
Opposition to nation-wide prohibi?
tion was the keynote of the sixth an?
nual dinner of the Society of Rcsta i
rateurs of New York, held last night
in the Commodore Hotel. Five hun?
dred members and guests thundered
their approval of speeches in denun
ciation of the constitutiona! amendment
by Justice Victor T. Dowling, of the
Appellate Division, and Bainbridfce
Colby.
Justice Dowling wamed the hotel
keepers and restaurant men that they
i might as .well reconcile themselves to
the strict enforcement of the law, as
j m his opinion it would bo on the
statutc books for a long time to come
or until the people realize fullv that
| they havo been deprived of their lib
. erties.
j Mr. Colby. who followed Justice
J Dowling, sa.d he approved of all the
justice had said regarding the unde
| sirable effects of prohibition, bul he
counselled against tame submi ion
and urged h,< h, ircrs t0 obey lh(, ,(.?.
, but to get to work immediately to
, bring about the di feat at the polla of
1 every legislator -who in "craven cow?
ard ic has submitted to the bi roti ?
and imbccility of -, ? "anaemic and
i vangehcal minority.
"The greatest blow ever aimed ai
1 " locracy and individual liberty has
been etruck in thc. United States bv
this nation-wide prohibition," said
Justice Dowline. "Strange to say, it
camo during thc Vdminis ration of a
great party which has previously beei.
vjgUant againsl such intrusions on
popular right;..
"Economically, perhaps, benefits mav
result to employers of labor in the
form of greater cfficicncv, but by and
by. when thc question of substitutes
for this custom of countless ages comes
up, I am sure it will bo found that the
expected efficiency of labor will bo
dimmed.
Mr. Colby said; "It is important in

for First Test To-day at

Also Mav Take the Air

Iction Will Drtennine the
Equipment To Be Used
in Aetual Atlantic Dash
The huge naval flying boat NC-3,
built to fly across the Atlantic, will
make her first flight to-day at Rock
away. There i-s a possibility that she
will be in thc air at the same time
a. the NC-2, one of her sister ships.
The finishing touches were put on
tho XC" yesterday. The minor rc
pairs nere.-.ary on ti.e wings of the
XC-2 also were completed, and the
engines given a tuning up. While
both boat.-, were ready to fly late
yesterday afternoon, the flights were
po. tponed until to-da.\.
Crews Assigned lo Statlons
Thirty-six petty officers and mcchan
ics of the trans-Atlantic section at the
Rockaway Naval Air Station left for
tho Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday.
Thej are part of tho shore crew that
has heen handling thc N. C. boats,
and have been assigned to statlons
along the route the boats will fly.
At tho Brooklyn Navy Yard thc men
v. ili bi c;. ?.:: v i to the cruisers Bai?
timore and Columbia and the convert
.??! mine layer Aroostook. These ships
v. il] . hen .'-.r.. e for theit' appointcd
: tations, Braj le dai bor, X. !?'., H rta,
Azores, and Lisbon, Portugal, roapect
ively.
This order i nd icates I he plans of
tho Navy Depai tmenl i to thc route
of ih.- trans-Atlantic flight. It points
to 1 he probabi I i, - thal the I i ps
?'. . ! not fly ii. England or I
Mras lo Harbor, N. I ., is aboul ini.l
woy between Cape Race and St, John's,
on thi ensl con ; of Newfoundland.
Tho il.re. naval shins will carry full
. upplies i'm- thc three Ij ing boats, in
clurling spnro parts and cngincn. Tho
boach crew sent .>ut from Rockaway j
day are fully .?-. perienced in
handling tho X. C. bouts, and havo
been spi cially selcctod for i hat pur- I
pose.
From an observation of tho expcrl
ment . nnd from the equipment of the
four NC type of flying boats, lt is
now possible to outlino tho navy'a
for tho t i--;,. atlantic (light.
Thc attempt will be made with three
";" thc four : hip ? earlj nexi month.
They will be, it is understood, the
r- C-l, NC-3 and NC-4. Thc NC-2,
according to present information, will
be u ed throughout in the role of ex
perimental ship, and the results of
her test flights will determine the
neces ...;. c iuipment of the other
thn , .
Fourth Enginc on NC-2
Until yesterday it was understood
the NC-1 was eliminated from the
attempt due to the fact that her wings
wen badly damaged in the storm of
last month. This ship was originally
equipped with three engines.
It was observed yesterday that four
pngii ,1 ad been placed on the NC-1,
in exactly the same manner as thev
are litted to tho NC-3. This is an
entircly different arrangement from
the NC-2, and i due to ti*.e lessons
learned in test flights with the latter
craft.
'I ?? wings of tho NC-1 are in "the
Curtiss plant at Garden City, L. I?
untlergoing repair. Should they not
bc completed in time for the flight,
it is understood the wings of the NC-2
i wil! be placed on the Xi'-l so fhe can
take off with the Thn-.' and Four.
. Under this plan all three of thc
i navy's flying boats making the attempt
to fly across the -\tlantic will be
! identical in structure a id equipment.
I Thc XC-2 was dc igned to niako the
at! mpt also, but she was equipped
with a fuselage body carrying tho con
trols of the machine. This body was
i placed above the boal body between
| the two wings. The engines were
i placed tandem on eithor side of the
fu elago.
The flights with the Two proved,
i it was learned yesterday, that the
fxiselage offered too large a resistance,
i nr.fl the er.gine arrangement did not
I give the rear propcllers their full ef?
fieiency. This was because they were
operating in the rush of air from the
forward propeller .
Changes Would Delaj Trip
As far as can he learned it would
take too much time to remove the
fu ? la ge from tln 1'wo, and change
the arrangement of the engines, and
th i ha - 1-1 in the dcci ;ion ti> u-?-?
the One, Three and Four in the
actual tc?t.
It. will hc much easier, it, was said,
to transfer thc wings of tho Two to
the One :-hould that be necessary.

332d Regiment, Back From
the War, >Iarches Up 5 th
Avenue and Deploys Into
Park for Final Ceremony
Medallion for the Colonel
Gen. Guglielmotti Thanks
Americans i'or Parl They
Plaved in Beating Austria
The ?>32d Infantry, the only Ameri- j
can regiment which saw active service
in Italy and the first. troops to enter i
Tagliamento, marched up Fifth Avenue
yesterday 3,fi00 strong, each man with
a gold Lion of St, Mark'.-. emblazoned
on his left shoulder, They were
escorted by 3,000 members of th<-> Sons
of Italy, h ci by Stcfano Miele, supreme
venerable of the order, and from Wash?
ington Square to the North Meadow.
Central Park, where they were re
viewed, they were met and followed by
mingled "vivas" aud "hurrahs."
Ohio and Pennsylvania furnished
mo.t of the men of the regiment, an.l
both states sent. delegations to its
triumphal parade. Thompson, Sullivan'
and Macdougal streets, Mott, Mulberry
and Flizabeth?-every italian colony in
the city made a festa of the occasion.
From south and easl they Bwarmed to
Fifth Avenue, coming by groups and
familics, which iitcluded even infants
who were unborn when thc Au triam
a ha nd 011 ed Tagliamcnto.
The > corl me rc i I was
symbolic, in a way, of ihe dark days
on the Italian front which preceded
victory. Flags with gold stars and
bar.ds of crape among the Sons of
Italy told of sacrifice as well as glory,
and there was inany a catch in the
voices that shouted "Viva America!"'
so bravely as the olive drab platoons ',
swung past.
The soldiers were in light marching
order and wore overseas caps tilted at
n rakish angle, instead of steel trench :
helmets. They started from Washing
ton Square at 10 a. m. and stepped so
briskly that they reached Forty-second |
Street in twc-nty-six minutes, despite
a de'ay of five minutes at Eighteenth
Street, -when Mayor Hylan and other
reviewing offieials in fifteen automo
biles and escorted by mounted police,
broke into the line of march.
General Emilio Guglielmotti, mili?
tary attache of the Italian Embassy; j
Romolo Tortoni, Italian consul gen?
eral; Luigi Mariani, vice-consul gen-,
eral, and ten Italian armv officers con- \
nected with the Italian mission, re?
viewed the regiment t'rom a knoll in
the North Meadow. With them stood'
representative:-, of the. Goveruors of
three states, Xew York. Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and representatives of
the United States army and navy.
Generai Thomas Ii. Berry, command?
ing th- Department of the East, and
Brigadier Central George II McManus,
in command of the por' of embarka
lior. ,-,t Hoboken, repres-nred thc army
; nd Commodore R. P. Forshaw, the
navy. .Mayor Hylan and Senator Sal
vatoro Colillo, representing Governor
Smith, made addresses.
Consul General Trltonl presented a
gold medallion to Colonel William
Wallace, commander of fhe regiment.
cn behalf of the Italian-American so
cicties. .The medal shows a flgurc of
Italy presenting a gold wreath to Co
lumbia, and on ihe rcverso side boars
this inscription:
"The Italians in New Vork to the
glorious 332d Infantry, in commemora
tion of the battles fought in Italy in
101S for th.- riobie ideals of liberty aml
democracy."
Colonel Wallace repiied in a speech
which told the full story of the career
of the regiment from the time il. was
sejected by General Pershing to rep?
