Courts-Martial
Sentences To Be
Tempered
Washington. Reduction in tho
numb of dishonorable discharges
from the army and a grading down
in the severity of courts martial sen
tences a-ro expected by the Judge Ad
vocate General's Department to re
sult fVom an executive order limiting
military peace time punishment which
gies into effect tomorrow. The order
follows wido agitation over court
mnj-tial penalties during the war pe
riod. A memorandum from the President
attached to the order directs that
maximom punishment and dishonor
able discharges be imposed only in
aggravated cases. This is expected
i have more effect in reducing pen
alties, it was stated than the actual
order, which reduces punishments tov
21 different offenses under the mil
itary code.
The old maximum of ,18 months'
confinement for desertion by men lees
ttuin one year in service hits been re
duced to one year, and in casess of
moro titan six months- service, from
2 12 to two years. The period of ab
sence for which desertion penalty's
WHY, TAKING
can be imposed is increased from 30
to 60 days.
Th maximum penalty for fraud- I
ulent enlistment has been reduced !
from one year's imprisonment to six !
months. The greatest reduction of
maximum confinement is fer assault
without deadly weapons, which was
five years, reduced to one year. The
maximum where weapons are used
still i3 five years.
The maximum for obtaining under
falso pretenses money or property
valued at $50 or more is reduced from
five years to three years.
"The executive order will not re
sult in a radical reduction erf penal
ties," Colonel C. A. Kreger, Acting
Judge fdvooate. declared. "Punish
ments for offenses in the army have
been based since 1914 on a consensus
of those fixed by different state laws
for similar civil offenses. The execu
tive order reduces maximum penal
ties for such offenses as fradulent en
listment, desertion and other pecu
liarly military in nature, but maxi
mum penalties seldom have been
awarded for these offenses.
"Tho President's memorandum
calling attention to thie Articles of
War which pro-vide for n. grading
down from maximum penalties where
cases are not aggravated -probably
will have more effect in lightening
punishments than tho reductions
which he actually orders. His mem
orandum, however, but stresses what
is already a part of military law."
Since 1S90 the president has been
authorized by Congress to fix the
limit of military punishment by exec
utive order, and several such orders
have been issued from time to time
by different presidents.

The styles are strikingly original, yet in
order to divert from the plain effect, many
are trimmedwith henna,that is the collar and
the girdle, which gives them a distinctive
touch. Many have embroidery or bead work?
used with effective results. Most of the
dresses of serge are cut with long sleeves, as
are the dresses of Jersey. We venture to
say that the same dress would cost a good
deal more elsewhere.. ... ....... . $7.95
