Chamberlain's
Bill to Reform
Courts Martial
Measure Prepared by Lieut.
Col. Ansell and Others
Who Have Criticized Jus?
tice of War Penalties
It Curbs 'Unwritten Law'
Also Provides for Greater
Safeguards for Accused
in AH Serious Cases
ffaw York Tribuna
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 18.?A bill
revolutionizing the American system
of military justice will be introduced
in the Senate, Senator George W.
Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee in the war
Congress, announced to-night.
The bill was prepared for Senator
Chamberlain by Lieutenant Colonel
S. T. Anteil and other officers engaged
in the administration of military jus?
tice during the war. It ?3 aimed to
eliminate the opportunities for the
abuse of military power in courts
martial, to which Ansell called atten?
tion before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee and the special investigat?
ing committee of tho American Bar
Association.
''The primary purpose is to establish
military justice and regulate it by law
rather than by military command; or,
stating it differently, to supersede per?
sonal military power over military jus?
tice by public law," said Senator
Chamberlain in a statement issued to
r.ight.
"To this end offences are more
closely defined and punishment speci?
fied and the 'unwritten military low'
is practically abolished.
Basis of the Measure
"This bill is built upon tho following
basic cc nsiderations:
"1- It proceeds in furtherance of
the fundamental theory that courts
martial are inherently courts, their
functions inherently judicial, and that
their powers must be judicially exer
cised; an?! it discountenances and pe?
nalizes a disregard of the sacred char?
acter of these judicial duties and
functions.
"2?It requires that the fundamental
principles of right and justice shall be
observed from accusation to execution.
"3?It abolishes the present intoler?
able delegations of penal power and,
instead of leaving the military com?
mander largely at liberty to determine
the offence, the punishment and the
procedure, establishes these elements
with definiteness and precision.
Requires Just Results
**4?It endeavors to provide that
military punitive action be buttressed
in enlightened concepts of justice, be
regulated by the principles of justice,
and that it give results that can fairly
be accepted as justice.
'"5?It obstructs a hasty resort to
punitive methods and withholds the
hand of a commander who would be
arbitrary.
"6?It proceeds upon the principle
that military authority itself is sub
aject to the demands of justice.
"7?It has regard for the fact that
our soldiers are citizens.
"8?It regards grade in the army as
a requisite of authority only.
"9?t abolishes star chamber meth?
ods and gives access to the public.
Some Specific Changes
"More specifically the bill is charac?
terized by the following:
"1. A charge must be preferred under
oath, and by a soldier as well as by an
officer.
"2. A thorough investigation must be
made, in which both sides shall be
heard before trial is ordered.
"3. The restraining tendencies estab?
lished are such as to prevent the trial
of trivial charges.
"4. The charge shall not be referred
to a general court, except upon the
legal determination (a) that a thor?
ough investigation has been made, (b)
that the charge is legally sufficient
and (2) that the evidence ia prima
faci? sufficient to sustain it.
"5. The summary court, by reason of
its importance in the field of juetice
and discipline, is required to be an
officer specially selected for eanity of
Judgment and judicial temperament.
"G. In order to establish trial pro?
cedure according to law, the special

and general courts are to be provided I
with a judge advocate skilled in the j
law.
Provision for Counsel
"7?-Provision is made for the pro?
curement of competent counsel, both
civil and military. Provision is made
for the assignment of a specially
qualified officer to prosecute in the
name of the United States.
"8?Membership of the court is fixed
by law; the special court to consist
of three and the general court of,
eight members. ?
?<gi??it is provided, in the case ot ;
trial of a soldier, that three soldiers j
be on the membership of a general j
court and one on a special court.
"_??In addition to challenges for)
cause, peremptory challenges are au-j
thorized, as well also as challenges j
to the array which are rendered avail?
able through affidavits of prejudice.
Three-fourths or i general court and
two-thirds of ?- pecial court must
cur in a finding of guilty.
"10?The court and the Judge advo?
cate shall perform their functions in?
dependently, subservient to no mili?
tary commander.
"11. No action can be taken to affect
the lawful judgments of courts except
by way of pardon, mitigation, remission
and suspension operating to the benefit
of the accused.
"12. Trial courte, notwithstanding
the legal control of the proceedings
herein provided, will commit errors ,
which will be conceded to be such in j
tho light of more deliberate, consider- ?
ation. The court of military appeals, ?
composed normally of civilian judges, j
is created for the correction of prej- |
udicial errors of lax? committed in
sentences of death, dismissal, dishon?
orable discharge ani confinement for
more than six months.
"13. The court of military appeals
is also given a retrospectivo jurisdic?
tion to review and revise the judg?
ments of courts martial in the most
serious cases tried during the war.
"14. Offences are defined and no
longer left to the uncertain concep?
tion as to tho unwritten military law
entertained by men unskilled in law;
penalties are legislatively prescribed
within reasonable limits and not left
to be fixed by military command.
"15. The bill establishes legal guid?
ance of court proceedings from begin?
ning to end, and penalizes non-compli?
ance."

120 Cargoes of Food
To Europe in April
America Is Winning the Fight
Against Famine, Declares
Hoover in Report
PARIS, May 18.?The monthly state?
ment of relief measures effected by
tho inter-Allied relief organization,
issued to-day by Herbert C. Hoover,
shows a distribution in metric tons
during April aggregating 591.843.
The countries aided were Finland, Po?
land, Esthonia, Lithuania, Letvia, Bel?
gium, Northern France, Germany, Ger?
man Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Greater
Serbia, Rumania, Armenia, Turkey and
Bulgaria. The supplies represented
cargoes of about 120 steamships and
their value wa3 approximately $147,
800,000.
In addition to the above, approxi?
mately 100,000 tons of foodstuffs of
European origin were moved into areas
short of food supplies through various
agencies of the relief administration.
Since December 1 overseas supplies to
the value of approximately $325,314,000 j
have been furnished.
Mr. Hoover says if the great stream
of food can be maintained until July
the situation will have been saved until
the next harvest in Europe.
"Altogether, for the first time, I be?
gin to believe that America is winning
against the greatest famine the world
has seen since the Thirty Years' War,"
says Mr. Hoover. "I believe we shall
have passed the danger point of the
spread of Bolshevism."

American Memorial Hospital
There To Be Conducted by
Them Until French Can
Take Over Responsibility
Final Chapter of Story
Decorations and Citations
Given by Government of
France for Their Service
The American Memorial Hospital in
Rheims is to be conducted by doctors
and nurses of the Women's Overseas
Hospital force until July 15, or such
time as the French medical authori?
ties are able to assume the respon?
sibility.
This is the last chapter in the story
of tho women doctors who were sent
abroad by American suffragists as part
of their war programme. The Memo?
rial Hospital at Rheims has been
founded by the American Fund for
French Wounded, but the medical work
will be in charge of fifteen members
of the Women's Overseas Hospital
staff.
All other members of the overseas
hospital units have returned home
covered with glory, and some even with
decorations. Four women received the
Croix do Guerre, and the entire staff
of the hospital at the Ch?teau Ognoxi
during an air raid last July were cited.
Recently Dr. Mabel Seagrave has been
decorated by the French government
for her work in Nancy since the armis?
tice.
By Light of Lanterns
One group from the Women's Over?
seas Hospitals found themselves in the
midst of the great Gorman drive last
spring, and nuns held oil lanterns for
them while they worked over the
wounded pouring in from the battle?
field.
With the signing of the armistice
they were ordered into Germany with
the French aimy of occupation, but
were halted at Metz bv the great num?
bers of Allied prisoners needing at?
tention. They set up a hospital of
150 beds for influenza victims, and
then were sent to Cambrai to care for
the refugees in cooperation with the
American Commission for Belgian Re?
lief. Dr. Caroline Finley is on duty
"somewhere in Germany."
The National American Woman Suf?
frage Association organized tho over?
seas hospital in 1917, with a fund of
$125,000 collected from suffrage organi?
zations all over the country. This was
later augmented by $75,000 raised by
the Women's Apparel Unit, women en?
gaged in all branches of the garment
trade, who wished to show their sym?
pathy for the land of fashions in its
hour of affliction.
The women first offered their ser?
vices to the United States, but Sur?
geon General Gorgas replied that under
the rules no women could be enlisted.
France, however, accepted their offer
with alacrity.
Unit No. 1, headed by Dr. Finley,
was the one caught in the North of
France at Ch?teau Ognon during the
German drive. Unit No. 2, headed by
Dr. Marie Formand and Dr. Alice
Gregory, was sent to Labouheyre,
where its one-hundred-bed hospital
became the hospital centre for tho en?
tire Department of Landes. The work
of equipping it with running water,
electricity, and the inside furnishing
with shelves, closets and stoves was
done by women mechanics and a
plumber, who were members of the
original American woman staff.
Since tho armistice the fifty build?
ings of the Labouheyre Hospital have
been taken over by the French govern?
ment for a tuberculosis hospital and
the American women sent to assist in
the refugee hospital at Nancy.
Unit No. 8 was organized last sum?
mer as a gas hospital. In June the
French government asked the Ameri?
can women to establish a 800-bed hos?
pital for the care of gassed patients
The doctors sailed at once and served
in a French hospital, but the trucks,
ambulances and litters were held up in
the tonnage congestion until too late
for use. After the armistice the doc?
tors and nurses moved on to Nancy
where they founded the Jeanne d'Arc
Hospital in a half demolished building,
formerly occupied as a girls' boarding
school. Dr. Marie Louise Lefort, h?ad
of the gas unit, has been head not only
of the work in Nancy but of twenty
other dispensaries in the villages of
Lorraine.
The Jeanne d'Arc Hospital was
closed recently, to the deep regret o?
the American women, as expressed in
the following farewell letter of Miss
Leslie Cameron, one of the nurses:
"We all see tho wisdom," she wrote
"of leaving this field to the now de?
mobilized French doctors. Still, we
feel genuine regret in turning from
the last few months of successful ac?
tivity to needy but untried centres
fourther north.
Story Told in Figures
"In the three months since the open?
ing of the hospital, January 5, 28C
patients have been cared for. Twenty
three major operations performed by
Dr. Formad have been successful, and
we have had ' also seventy-two minoi
operations and 180 medical cases
Seventeen French babies have been
helped into the world.
"We opened with fifty beds on Janu?
ary 5, when we were told that refugees
were returning from Germany at the
rate of 800 or 1,000 a day. That night
the camions began coming with their
loads of French women. They had
travelled in box cars, with straw foi
warmth, very little food, and depressed
by the knowledge tnat tho homes tc
which they were- travelling were but
heaps of debris.
"Ono aid helped an old woman
eighty-three years old into bed. She
had pneumonia and tier mind was wan?
dering. The nid followed a thin, quiver?
ing hand under the pillow, and found
it clutching a crust of mouldy bread.
She pulled it away, with a cry like
that of a frightened animal, and
though tho aid told her she should
havo fresh, warm food she could not
understand, and wo left her clutching
her pitiful treasure and whispering to
herself 'Vive la France!'
"Theso are tho things we remember,
and this Is tho thing of which we are
proud, that we, as Americans, have
don? oar little to help this wonderful

Says ^War Risk
Nears Collapse
Director Blames Glass for j
Throttling Bureau With
Red Tape and Impairing
of Service Men's Rights'
_
Says Policy Is Intolerable
One Assistant Resigns
With Chief and Other
Four Expected to Follow
By Theodore M. Knappen
WASHINGTON, May 18. ? Colonel
Henry T. Lindsley, director of the $3^
000,000,000 Bureau of War Risk In?
surance, tendered his resignation to
Caiter Glass, Secretary of the Treas?
ury, yesterday, and will walk out of
the office to-morrow. Dudley Gates, of
San Francisco, one of Colonel 'Linds?
ley's five executive assistants, has al?
ready followed his chief's example, and
tho others are expected to follow suit
to-morrow.
According to Colonel Lindsley's
statement and correspondence made
pub?c to-day this denouement is tho
outcome of months of fruitless strug?
gle against red tape and the paralyzing
tendencies of bureaucracy.
Fearful that delay and inaction in
vital matters in the Treasury Depart?
ment threatened the very lifo of the
bureau, Colonel Lindsley on April 8
last wrote a letter to Secretary Glass
in which he bluntly said that the suc?
cess of the bureau was up to the Sec?
retary, and him alone, and that there
was not a condition complained of
which it was not within the Secre?
tary's power to remedy. This letter
fir.a'ly resulted in a request from the
Secretary, dated May 15, for Colonel
Lindsley's resignation. The latter con?
sidered his letter of April 8 as in ef?
fect a resignation unless his requests
were immediately granted.
On Verge of Breakdown
Hero are some of the salient points
in that letter:
The Bureau of War Risk Insur?
ance is on the verge of breakdown
and failure because of lack of co?
operation from the Treasury De?
partment and "intolerable condi?
tions in that department."
The director is without the au?
thority necessary to carry through
reforms or continue efficient admin?
istration. The bureau is a "volcano,"
which Mr. Glass inherited from his
predecessor.
There are Interminable delays In
passing on the most trivial subjects
by the Treasury Department.
The bureau ?3 not in good repute
with soldiers and their families.
There are millions of soldiers' ac?
counts with the bureau still to be
adjusted and settled, "each malad?
justment a source of antagonism on
tho part of the soldier to his gov?
ernment," but this work can not bo
done unless the bureau "is given
relief from the Bystem that exists
in the Treasury Department."
"In view of tho vast social and po?
litical importance of this work, the
Treasury's policy, as applied to this
bureau, is intolerable."
' Lindsley Explains Position
Colonel Lindsley's statement an?
nouncing his resignation is as follows:
"That I no longer enjoy the confi?
dence of the Secretary of the Treasury
is a matter of little concern to me per?
sonally, especially in view of the bu?
reau's record during? the five months
! since I became its director, which
Bhows a growing confidence on the part
of the public in its work,
"Considering the terms on which I
accepted this appointment, my resig?
nation has in effect been always in the
| Secretary's hands, for I made it an ex
, press condition to my undertaking the
task that I should have the authority
comensurate with the responsibility
,' that was placed upon me. When it be?
came apparent that the Secretary was
\ not living up to his undertaking and
? that delay and inaction in vital matters
, in the Treasury Department threat
, ened the very life of the bureau, I
i deemed it my duty to point out to him
fully and frankly tho conditions which
( were crippling the work and to offer
> suggestions for immediate improve?
ment.
? "My letter to the Secretary, of April
8, expressed in terms that I desired
should be unmistakable, could only be
' | contrasted as a flat tender of my resig
( nation unless the conditions I com
I plained of were corrected.
Wouldn't Modify Letter
1 "It was suggested to mo by Assistant
Secretary Shouse, when the letter
reached his hands and before it
. reached the Secretary's, that It might
I be taken as a personal affront, but
. | inasmuch as I had prepared the letter
, : only after the most mature consider
[ ation and in a very earnest effort to be
. helpful to the situation, I advised Mr.
Shouse that neither the Secretary's
! personal feelings nor my continued
connection with tho bureau had any
. weight compared with tho vital im
, jportanco of tho real issue presented,
t ! namely, whether tho bureau was to
. j succeed through tho cooperation of tho
. ! Treasury Department or fail for lack
I \ Of it.
'. j "Having been unable to make the
? Secretary understand in any other way
, ;the gravity of the situation, I deemed
. ; it my obvious duty to tho service to
' : speak plainly. This determination I
'confirmed in my letter to Mr. Shouse
? of April 9, since when the entire mat?
ter has been held in abeyance, accord
ing to the Secretary's letter of April 10.
"For tho sake of the millions of eol
_ diers and sailors and their dependents,
i j I am greatly concerned lest the Treas?
ury policy toward the bureau so crip
' pie its work as to impair their rights
I under the war risk insuranco act and
; thus cause untold hardship and suf
; fering."
Glass Asks Resignation
In asking for Colonel Llndsloy's
? resignation, Secretary fJlass wrote,
i under date of May 15, as follows!
I "The victory loan campaign having
: j ended, I am now enabled to give more
, I attention to Trsasuxy diUil?, and I
have read again with painstaking care
your letters of April 8 and 9 placed on
my desk as I was about leaving Wash?
ington on a speaking tour. After the
fullest consideration, I have reached
the very definite conclusion that you
are quite right in saying that the Sec?
retary of the Treasury should have as
director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance a man in whom he has im?
plicit confidence; and, in agreement
with this view, I am constrained to
ask you to let me have your resigna?
tion, to take effect not later than next
Monday, at which time I shall be pre?
pared to designate your successor.
"Very trulv yours,
"CARTER GLASS."
In reply to Assistant Secretary j
Shrouse's suggestion to the Colonel j
that the Secretary might take the let- ?
ter as a personal affront, Colonel
Lindsley declared that the sole issue
was "whether or not the director of
this bureau shall be vested with the
authority commensurate with his re?
sponsibility."
Lindsley Suffers
From Insufferable
Vanity, Says Glass
Nev> York Tribun?
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 18.?Late to?
night Secretary of the Treasury Glass,
who had not yet received Colonel
Henry T. Lindsley's letter of resigna?
tion as director of the bureau of war
risk insurance, issued a statement in
which he belittled Colonel Lindsley's
complaints and accused him of insuf?
ferable personal vanity. The state?
ment follows in part:
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
not received from the director of the
bureau of war risk insurance the let?
ter of resignation said to have been
prepared by the latter and handed to
the press for publication; but the Sec?
retary is quite ready to believe the di?
rector proceeded in just that fashion.
"It would not appear to be necessary
to explain to the public the desirability
of Colonel Lindsley's dismissal from
the service in view of his own author?
ized statement that on April 8 last he
expressed to the Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury in charge of the war
risk bureau his utter indifference as to
whether or not the director's official
communications to the Secretary of the
Treasury might fairly be construed as
a gross personal affront.
"This one sentence clearly reflects
the spirit of exaggerated importance
and insufferable personal vanity which
characterized the official conduct o?
Colonel Lindsley for the entire five
months' period of his incumbency of
office, culminating in his concededlj
studied indignity of April 8. The
strutting around of this official anc
the offensively peremptory tone of hi.'
memoranda finally ceased to be amus?
ing, and that, among things of great??)
consequence, accounts for his removal
"But aside from the effrontery in?
volved in the director's cool doman?
that the Secretary of the Treasury
transfer to him immediately the vari
ous duties and responsibiliitcs whicl
the act of Congress imposes on th?
Secretary with respect to the bureai
of war risk insurance, the pretend
that his administration had been im
peded or harassed by Treasury con
trol is without the slightest founda
tion in fact."
Americanism
Appeal Made to
Kill Bolshevism
Defence Society Meeting Is
Thrilled by Pleas of Dr.
Hill and Senator Harding
to Preserve U. S. Ideals
Ole Hanson Is Lionized
Speakers Warn of Organ?
ized Conspiracy Against
the National Government
More than 3,000 persons cheered at?
tacks on Bolshevism and pleas for un?
adulterated Americanism at a meeting
of the American Defence Society in
Carnegie Hall last night. The meet?
ing formed part of the society's nation?
wide celebration of America Day.
The speakers were Dr. John Wesley
Hill, Chancellor of Lincoln Memorial
University, and Senator Warren G.
Harding, of Ohio. Mayor Ole Hanson,
of Seattle, was to have spoken, too, but
was obliged to leave the city earlier
in the day on business. His name was
loudly cheered when it was mentioned
by the presiding officer, Newton W.
Gilbert, former vice governor general
of the Philippines. At the conclusion
of the meeting a telegram, approved
by the audience, was sent to Mayor
Hanson, expressing admiration for his
strong stand in behalf of Americanism
and the energetic methods by which j
ho suppressed the recent Bolshevik |
Congress "Coming Back"
Senator Harding drew loud applause
whan he said that "we went to war not:
in defence of world democracy but for!
the preservation of America's na-1
tional rights," and again when he
hinted that "Congress once more will ?
assert its rights now that the moment
of peril has passed."
Another outburst of applause fol?
lowed when, speaking of the United
States Senate, Senator Harding said:
"There are only ninety-six of us. I
know we are not held in high esteem j
just now, but watch us. The preserva- j
tion of American nationalism depends !
upon the United States Senate and it
is not going to fail you. You are |
American nationalists, not interna-1
tionalists." Senator Harding's remark j
apparently was interpreted by the au-1
dience as a thrust at the league of na?
tions. .
In his address, Dr. Hill violently as- ?
sailed Socialism and Bolshevism.
"Socialism is joy riding in the dark,
and that is a dangerous diversion,"
said Dr. Hill. "Socialism is that phase
of democracy which proposes to de?
stroy the institution of private prop?
erty. Bolshevism is only a new cloak
for the hydra-head, un-American mon- I
ster of Socialism.

Harriman National Bank
Fifth Avenue and 44th Street
NEW YORK
I Professional Services
Fruit of gross size is notorious for coarseness erf
texture and lack of flavor. Figuratively speaking,
similar attributes are sometimes attached by the
public to large banking institutions.
It is true of a bank as it is of the learned professions
that the business is dependent entirely upon physical
ability to transact it at first hand, and upon the ?per?
sonal equation of the administration. The result
makes for a bank's chief asset, good will, that is to say,
its reputation with the public. Thus, not merely
skilled services are demanded, but in addition thereto
a pleasant and otherwise satisfactory personal relation.
The personality of the bank's customer gives
another angle of observation. A bank does not loan its
funds to customers solely upon the figures of their
statements and the balances maintained, primarily
important as these are. To no small extent the bank is
governed by the personality of the customer. In an
overgrown institution it is often the case that dealings
must be carried on with a head of department and
translated to the official and executive head, the busi?
ness in hand not infrequently suffering by this dif?
fusion and loss of the influence of the customer's
J personality.
This is not so with the Harriman National Bank.
Customers come into direct contact at all times with
the executive heads, and full recognition is had by the
bank of its dependence upon pleasant personal dealings
for maintenance of that good will which has been and
is the basis of the bank's present prosperity.

the people of this country. These de?
portations should go on. I would load
all the anarchists and seditionists on a
ship of lead, with the wrath of God
for its sails, and its course steered tow?
ard the port of hell."
Dr. Hill outlined the situation in
Russia and the desperate state to
which Bolshevism has brought that
country. He supported his attack by
direct quotations from L?nine, and
