Late in the day, however, Acting Bee- Ttary ot ne Iivr Boo announced that the review would be held on Sep tember 1. This was decided upoa, he said, when the President several days ago had requested that plans for the review go forward without reference to his trip to the Pacific coast.

Execution by the Germane of Miss Lditlt t'avell, the Engliab nurse, which aroused the indignation of the r.llicd world, was in accordance with the laws of ''civilised warfare,' according to a minority re port of the committee oa military law of the Amencaa Bar Association, made publie here today, advocating abolition of the death penalty for wou.ea con victed of infringing military law. Both majority and minority report were pre pared by the committee, which waa ap pointed to investigate court-martinis and suggest reforms In military law. The reference to th can of Miss Cavel waa made by 8. 8. Gregory, of Chicago, chairman of th committee, and waa concurred in by Judge Wil liam P. Bynum, of Greensboro, N. C, th other minority member. Ia hit re port Mr. Gregory said! In Accord With Law. "A careful consideration of the eaa ot Miss Edith Cavell one of the moat pathetic aad appealing victims of the great war, whooe nnfortunata fat haa aroused the sympathy and excited tha indignation of two continents, haa led me to th conclusion that ahe waa ex ecuted ia accordance with the law and usage of what we are pleased com monly to refor to aa civilized war fare.

Th mere fact that bet trial waa attended by tha brutality ad daplUiy which commoaly marked the exercise or military power by th tfermarf command, doea not altar thia aspect of the case.

' Majority Cannot Coacar. The majority of the committee, An drew A.

"It would certainly be inadviwihle unless such a provisloa were ia the codes of alt the nations with whom we would be likely to be at war," they said. "We could not afford to be thua handicapped. We agree thoroughly thnt the penalty should not be inflicted except in the most extreme eases, but that it should be abolished entirely we eon not agree. Experience haa shown thnt on account of the aei lure women are the moat dangerous of all spies, and our chivalry towards eome should not allow ua to jeopardise the national cause or tho livea of thonaands of the sons of others."

The majority report as serted that although ''we believe some change ehould be made, w are satis fled thst the errors which were com mitted during the recent war aad the excessive penalties which were no doubt orten imposed, were due largely to the Inexperience of those in con trol and to the fact not only, that we had of necessity to train an officer class overnight for our volunteer army but that our practice in the past of scattering our regular army, divided iat ' battalion, evmpanlea aad even smaller nnita over the country had mado It impossible to train properly even our West Point officers." , "We are thoroughly ia accord," - the majority report continued, ''with the idea that there thold be with each di vision, brigade and perhapa regiment, a thoroughly trained military lawyer with the raak, perhapa of a lieutenant eolontl, who ehould serve either a a presiding judge or as adviser at all eourt-martiala."
