Always of uniform strength and means household economy. Lieut. Col. Ansell is having hard sled ding with his fight on the military court martial crime. Any man has hard sledding who attempts to combat any form of militarism. Militarism is a monster of frightful mein. Charlie Hallinan, secretary of the American Union against Militarism tells this newspaper how the militarists are us ing the tax payers' money to offset the effect of Sam Ansell's attacks on the courts martial. . Mr. Hallinan tells this newspaper, that the War Department has created an elaborate propaganda bureau, with a big staff and commod ious offices, for the purpose of flooding the country with publicity matter cal culated to convince the people, now thoroughly aroused to the injustice of court-martial system,- that it is worthy of their confidence and adulation. This publicity bureau is locateed in the old land office building, formerly used by the now almost defunct prov ost marshal general's office, and is equipped with all the equipment need ed in the preparation and distribution of propaganda. Its staff is composed of Col. Wigmore, Maj. John D. Iang ston, Maj. Jesse J. Miller, a captain and thirteen clerks. This force has been placed directly under the Secre tary of War, the officers being carried as "on special work for Gen. Crowder, who is now in Cuba. Maj. Miller was recently promoted from captain, far ing much better in this respect than thousands of over-seas officers who won, but have not received, higher mobilized when the functions of the rank for gallantry in action. These officers Should have been de provost marshal general's office ceased to exist in January, but Gen. Crowder retained them, and directed them to prepare data with which to refute fVior-TOs a pro Inst the military court- martial system as made by Senator Chamberlain in his speech on January 3, and otherwise defend the indefensi ble court-martial system. When Gen. Crowder left for Cuba on March 12, lie obtained authority from Secretary Baker directing his staff to take up the work of flooding the country with pub licity. It is said that Mr. Baker was reluc tant at first to adopt the scheme, and agreed to it only after considerable argument. At a conference Gen. Crow-, der urged severe disciplinary measures for Col. Ansell. He said to Mr. Baker, in effect, that the criticism of the sys tem was fraught with mischief, not only for the Secretary himself, but to Gen. Crowder and the discipline of the army in general. He then recommend ed the campaign of organized publicity that was finally agreed upon, and is now under way in an effort to influence the public mind against reforming a court-martial system that dates back the Revolutionary period and is as archaic as the rack' or the wheel.

Harrison, an Elizabeth City boy who has been conspicuous in ship ping circles in New York for the past three years has located in Baltimore and springs into the news again as president of the Washington South ern Navigation Co.
