Ansell Testifies Before Investigate - - tog Committee PRESENT COURT-MARTIAL - LAWS BITTERLY SCORED Former Judge Advocate. Gen. . era! Declares That Military ' Justice Is Not Being-Best Served By Method Pursued By Investigating Committee of Bar Association (By the AuodaUd Pirn. ) i Washington, April 21. Lieut. Colonel Samuel C. Ansell, former Acting Judge ' Advocate General and chief figure in the attack upon the army disciplinary : system, accused the committee- of the American Bar Association today with baring placed itself under domination of the war derailment in its invest iga- i tioa of.military justice and of shutting fTTrraeJtnT AY SYSTEM ATTACKED UN-AMERICAN made on hi appearanee before the committee was promptly challenged by Chairman Gregory, who warned Colonel Ansell that he was over suspicious and flu the wrong track." ; fcWe are rot anybody's tools," de- i clared Judge Gregory. "I have prac , ticed la two ard a naif times as long as Secretary 3-ker. I don't propose to surrender' my judgment to anybody. If you are for justice, this committee will al.'ike hands with you." Attacked Member Committee. Colonel Answell specifically attacked the right of Martin Conboy, of New ' York, to ait on the committee. The re lationship between Conboy and Major General Crowde Judge Advocate Gen eral, has been such, Col. Ansell assert ed, as to make him "a staunch sup porter" of General Crowder. For that reason, Col. Ansell said, Mr. Conboy should withdraw from the committee. Mr. Conboy was not present at the session, but judpe Gregory pointed out that he and the other members of the committee had known General Crow der and respected' him highly, and , added: "I do not think that would influence , ' System Is the American. V- ' Ansell then proceeded with his arraignment of the eourtmartial system Itself, denouncing it as un-Amerlcaa .. i ad the practically unchanged survival c' the old British military code adopt - ed In 1774, when soldiers were the erea- ' lures of a sovereign or Over-lord. The witness was assured by Judge Gregory that he might have all the time he v. lthcl to prcent his ease or to (-.11 of ficers or others whose views he wished t b' presented. Colonel Ansell . will nntinue tomorrow with his carefully prepared argument. He did not pass I'xlay beyond the legislative history if I he articles of war, seeking ,o show that liiey have never been Changed Substan tially or brought into harmony with American ideas i ( right anil justice. Colonel Ansell opened., his hearing tvith a prepared statement nhietr he declared his conscience required him to ' make before he could proceed. His at tack upon the method and personnel at the committee was contained in this nocument. Declaring that lie was the leading opponent of the army court system and bad been subjected to "military restric tions" in his efforts to reform it, the officer said the fact that the committee "it this rather late date" had asked him to appear was significant to him. - He expressed regret thst the committee did not call him sooner in order that hf might have better prepared the ease - he desired to present. Jaetice Nat Beat Served, , said, "it not being best served by the method of investigation pursued by this committe but on the contrary stands in a fair way to suffer at your hands." ColoneV Ansell declared that while Lis own view was that the army court system was un-American and oppres sive, oa the other aide were "those in highest military authority" who were endeavoring "by the use o.' the or ganised power of government" to make the people believe that there was noth ing ! the system to cause uneasiness. When he launched his attack, the wit ness continued, the War Department, through the judge advocate general, had aprung strongly to the defense of the court-martial system. He said the com mittee would gain nothing by "avoid ing a hearing" of such personal dis agreements as were necessarily a part ef the discussion. "It would seem natural that yon at the outset would have offered me the opportunity to be heard," he aald, "and reasonable opportunity to bar heard those who share with me the views I hold.' '' , "None of this did you do. Iasiead you have ignored me until the end of this hearing. Yon have shut your eyss and deigned to regard me as an officer of no special knowledge oa this subject."

Parisv Jlpril2UThe qusstion 4f-the Italian claims wss not disposed of at the meeting of the eouncil of four this afternoon. The council was unable to agree on the Adriatic question, and decided to proceed to other business. It was hoped that the issue between the Ital ians and the Jugo-Slavs on the sub ject of the Adriatic roast and Fiuma would be settled at the afternoon ses sion at the "White House," but con trary to expectations, neither Premier Orlando nor Foreign Minister Sonnino sppesred. For this reason the ques tion could not be taken up. No Farther Action New. Pending receipt of information as to the course of the Italian delegates in desiring to ronjinue the negotiations the couocil will take no further action on the subject. Ns statement regarding the Adriatic issue has appeared, and it was said that none would be issued today.

The Amer icans were chosen by the IrislPsocieties ir the United States to apepal to the peace conference on behalf of Ireland. The arrangement for the meeting was made by Colonel Edward M. House, of the American peace delegation at a luncheon today at the residence of the ; British Premier. Mr. Lloyd George said ! he was nnnble to receive the Americans 1 this wAk, owing to the pressure of busi ' ness connected with the peace treaty ; and requested them to remain over for i a conference until next week.

Jflr'aen appore ntjy the council of fou r was ready to take decisive action on the Italian claims in the Adriatic, in cluding the coast, islands and Ficumo, the Italian delegates, Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino,. failed to appear at Monday afternoon's ses sion. These ministers hsd discussed the problem insistently with Premier Clem enceau and Premier Lloyd George earlier in the day and for the purpose of bringing the matter to a climax, President Wilson attended the after noon session. It waa then expected that the ques tion which up to that time was con sidered almost insurmountable would be decided but, owing to the absence of the Italian delegates, discussion of the Italian claims was dispensed with. It is announced that the eouncil will take no further action on the subject pending information as to the future course of the Italians. Germany has accepted all the con ditions of the Allies with respect to the Versailles conference. The aspirations of Italy as regards the Adriatic Sea roast still appear to be the insurmountable question before the Council of Four at the Paris Pence Con ference. Sunday's discussion of the Italian claims was followed ou Monday by two additional conferences, but as yet there apparently has been no breach in the deadlock over the demands which the Italians consider irreducible and the compromise offer of the other partici pants in the negotiations Premier Cle meneeau, David Llo.vd George and President Wilson. As in the case of Sunday's discussion, President Wilson did not attend Monday morning's ses sion of the council of four. He did, however, gather with the statesmen for the later session in the afternoon and was reported to be ready to Issue a pub lic statement on the situation surround ing the controversy in esse ss sgree nient waa not reached. Italian Parliament Peatpened. That there is no immediate prospect that the impassee ia to be breached without further argument possibly is inmraira dj an omciai announcement that the convening of the Italian nar- linment which was to have taken place Wednesday anil before which Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino nopect to place the facts accomplished hss been postponed for two weeks from next Wednesday until May 6.

The German delega tion to Versailles will comprise six high) personages, at the bead of whieh will be Count Voa Broekdorff-Ranttau, . the foreign minister. Marshal Foch was so informed lata this evening, according to official sn nouncement. The delegatea cannot ar rive at Versailles before April SO. Although the peace conference ap parently was taken by surprise by the announcement of Germany's intentioa to send a small delegation to Versailles to receive the text of the treaty, the plan is really old, and Berlin and Weimar despatches of The Associated Press more than a mouth ?go indicated that the German delegates would not have power to make Dual decisions. Germans Mlsnaderatood Plant. . The determination of the German foreign office was based on misappre hension of the programme for the initial meeting of the German pleni potentiaries with the representatives of the peace conference. It had been derstuod through press statement! thai at the first meeting the German dele gates would merely be handed tht text of the treaty, but would not he per mitted to discuss its terms, and would -. he sent back to Germany to confer with the government and the natioual as sembly, returning after a stipulated interval to Versailles for the actual dis cussions. ' Voder the rirruinstatiros, as Count Von lirockdorff-Rantzau, loreiga min ister, explained to The Associated Press, the German government considered it unnecessary to send the entire peace delegation more than onehusd red -persons, headeo by six plenipotentiaries to Versailles merely" to - receive- the draft and return to Berlia with it, and therefore send i smaller delegation and later proceed to Versailles far the actual discussions and the signature of the treaty. Program wae Changed. The German government then formal ly inquired through the 'armistice com mission regarding the program, aid ea the basis of the reply seemingly de termined on the dispnteh of the smaller -delegation. Meanwhile, howo er, the plans and program of the council of four for discussions with the Germsaa hsd been altered, in no small degree, nppsrently, on account of the fact that it was found a physical impossibility since the instructions to appear on April 23 were sent to the German delegates to have the actual text of th- proposed treaty ready by that date. This would necessitate communicating the determi nations of the allied -and -associated governments to a certain extent In out- line, or in a less format shape thaa. the definite text. . For this purpose the presence ot the plenipotentiaries charged with the peace negotiations waa imperative, quite a par: from the point of prestige that plenipotentiaries of the allied aad as sociated powers could only aneet with German representatives of equal rsak and dignity.
