Cases' ih Point .. By DAVID LAWRENCE ,L (( opTright. 1921, by The Morning Star) ' WASHINGTON. Oan. 27. Members ct congress who. have lately visit4 the war department in behalf of soldier ronstituents who have been disciplined for trivial offense have gone back to raDitol Hill incensed and indignant over what they term hard-boiled" treatment by the officers of the regu lar army. smouldering controversy has just come to the surface which either, will be cured in legislation pending before congress or there will be a sweeping investigation to apprise the house " of the severity of the punishment being meted out to men who served with dis tinction in the World war only to-be piven dishonorable discharges for un lawfully borrowing a blanket or a pair of shoes. ' Out of 16,000 cases, it develops that the efforts of a reform element inside the regular army .have .resulted in the restitution of more than 4,000 to the status of honorable discharge. Just how many more of the remaining 12, 000 are deserving of leniency Is hard to conjecture. Though both sides in the controversy say the percentage will probably be small, Ib, to .get Justice for that small percentage which is agi tating members of congress who a. u trying to wade through the meshes of red tape to get at the bottom of the army system. Just for Pqir of Shoes It sounds incredible .but the -stigma of dishonorable discharge must be car ried through life . by one ah'anvwho fought in France and whose offense on his return to the United States con sists of taking a pair of shoes from. a comrade. It develops that the -soldier wanted to go to a dance and asked the sergeant of his company if he could borrow a pair of shoes. The request was granted. A wek latter; when the same soldier wanted to go to a dance again the sergeant wasn'tin , the bay;-- raeks and naturally thinking there would be Bo objection the private bor rowed the ; shoes. When the sergeant came home, he reported that his shoes were missing. When the private who borrowed them came back from the dance he was locked . upland charged, with theft. There isn't a thing in the evidence to prove that the soldier in tended permanently to deprive the sergeant of the pair of shoes nor that he was a confirmed thief. His record was good. Nevertheless he was given six months in the barracks as a pun ishment. In civilian life, even if he were convicted of petty larcency, he might be given 10 or 30 days,Mut in this instance not only was he confined for six months but j his record in the World war was stained by a dishonor TEGR0BS THOUGHT JUG, OF GASOLINE' WAS RUM Assaulted a Boy With a Club to .Get the "Drink" ' (Special to The Star) , WARSAW, Jan. 27. -A few days ago, John Moore and his 15-year-old son had started to town from Turkey, Bev - tral miles from here,! when they found they were out of, gasoline The father gave the boy a Jug, and sent him back for some. As he was return ing with it, two negroes accosted him, demanding that he "give them- that whiskey." Upon the boy's refusal to surrender the jug, telling them it was not. as they thought monkey runv. they f Jackson and Caswell .

Upon arrival here. mously for this, and made contrlbur ine occurrence was renorted to the ! iown authorities, when a crowd with ine city's bloodhound went in search tf the negroes, but till now, they have not been apprehended. . r John Bowden, a respectable negro man, died at his home here Tuesday, after an illness of several weeks, fol lowing a stroke of paralysis. He was about 60 years of age, and one of the landmarks of the town. He was In dustrious and energetic, and well 1'ked by both White and negro people of the town. He had accumulated ' onsiderable property, mostly in real state, and before his illness was en gaged in keeping a restaurant and "tore, as well as a' butcher shop. ;. An automobile ran -away from its "river here a few days ago, and turned rtle on one of the streets. Both it a"a its owner, a negro'; were reported to have been "loaded" "with monkey 'um, but nothing has been learned s to what became of It.

The candidates are CapU Wllllani T: Holland who commanded 'the JDunn fnuitia company while It was on the -wexican border nnl if in tVi fl tr-Vi !"s in Europe until incapacitated by " neairh t xi . . A 1 1 Miesman. iawver. and Edgari Carlyle West, from the American Censorship of O Ulcer Instances' of this kind can I be found .In the records and whiW a "number of army.ofncerswith kind hearts are dis tressed over the pitiful pleadings of friends and relatives for Justice, they can't say, a word . to anybody i but their superior officers. " Under a rule of the war "department, no officer can com municate anything of this kind, to a member of congress unless the sugges tion goes through' military i channels,. That often means going through the same officers who are , defending,; the practice complained of . i j , . ? The whole troubJjB, however, seems to lie in - one or those mischievous riders that are ' mysteriously attached to appropriation bills:. when nobody is looking. t It so happens ' that in the .ct of l15j a rider . was tacked on declar ring that all matters' relating to prison- L ers in disciplinary barracks should be. transferred from the ludtre advooata general tp he . adjutant general. The provision of , law : was ignored - from 1915 until , October; 1$0, when -it' was suddenly applied: . '. And most of : the trouble has developed since last- Octo ber, . because;;: the " adjutant general's I office' simply acts upon a statement, of facts withoufgoing into: the record of cases I: or extenuating circumstances. The adjutant general's office , does its duty as It sees it'jbnd If a an's paper shows ' that ' he ' ;was convicted of thievery, It' doesn't make a whole lot of differehce 'whether 'a soldier stole a pack of playing cards or a suit of un derwear or 'embezzled . funds.' The dis honorable ''discharge" has been given Just the same. " Essentially the judge advocate gen eral's office is the place where matters of lawand evidence and justice are concentrated. A clemency board in the judge advocate general's office , con stantly reviews case and recommends changes. ; , The adjutant general's office is a huge "clerical, organization where ' not attempt isv made : to-' inquire intor questions of penology. If congress will j put the power to handle dishonorable ' discharges back into the hands" of the , lawyers of the army by repealing the rider, that was put into the 1315 act, much of the trouble will be eliminated but members of .congress are wbndr ing what they can do to restore tome of their constituents to- an honorable discharge whose cases already have been finally ruled upon by the war de partment. There are thousands of cases hanging over from the civil. war, veterans who hae been vainly en deavoring for years to; rid themselves of the stamp' of dishonorable discharge but without avail.- Ahd,it is said that most of the offenses are Just as trivial as the borrowing of a blanket' or a pair of shoes without any idea of theft.
