UEKKIOT Paris.. N<#v. f?. ? A donkey whose owner christened him "Her riot." Ik the central figure of a trial at Blols, where the owner i has been hu ninioni d before a local court on the charge of defama tion. The peasant owner plead* that he meant no harm, that his donk ey is a good beast and a willlnK worker, and that he and his four legied fiitrui have the greatest respect for the former premier and present president of the chamber of deputies. Itut the ItloJs authorities, loyal radical so cialists for the moat part. see in this christening a facetious dig at the leader of their party. \ All the excitement over the cane naturally is causing great glee In conservative camps. One nuiH. ' critic has even gone so far aa to express the opinion that "giving the name of the negotiator of the London agreements of 1924 to an inoffensive <iundrupcd certainly 'entitles the donkey to aue his mas ter for libel."

COURT MARTIAL ; LONG SUFFERING ABOUT COLONEL Army and Navy Officer* Amazed at Way Prece dent Has Been Thrown to tlir Winds SHAKES TRADITION True or False Army and Navy in the I'ast Have Not Brqoked the Slightest Disrespect 11} KOIIKKT T-KMAI.L iCtiriHI. The A??aw> Washington. Nov. 5? Army uml Navy offtrera stationed In Wash ington have been amazed at the liberality and tolerance of the court martial which Is trying Col onel William Mitchell, of the air service. They say the court is act tine extraordinary precedent* for the future conduct of military cases. Ordinarily In military law i there would be no iuquiry what soever Into the truth or falsity of the statements made by Colonel Colonel Mitchell. The only ques tion would have been as to wheth er or not his conduct and attitude 1 were insubordinate and his lan KUnce disrespectful to higher of t firers and officlala of the Govern ment. That the court should per mit the defense at this time to go fur afield and virtually to "try" the War. and Navy Departments, as w>ll as the Department of Ag riculture and the poatal service, has shaken military tradition in the capital to the very founda lioua. True or falae, the Army and Navy in the past have brooked neither disrespectful conduct nor language. That a military court now should permit an accused of ficer to go ut great length Into the quest ion us to whether or not the United States Government has been in "treasonable" hands is pronounced by higher officers of the Army as agalnat all stated m II i ilury practice. The Mitchell court they aay is leaning so far back ward it may yet fall on *he nape of its neck. 0 i There is no question hut that the Mitchell court has been long suffering, and General 'ftob" llowre. the preaid?ut. has itated it is prepared to ataud at III more. Representative Frank Reld. ci vilian counsel for Colonel Mitchell, has tuken liberties with the court ? which have caused old military men In the ramshackle courtroom to stiffen in their placea, ready for the flare-back, nut the court has not retaliated lu kind. Mr. Held hus made statement after statement which in language und in tone have conveyed hi* con tempt for the entire proceedings. In the past courts martial, have been quick to resent even the sug geston of a slur upon its dignity. Of course the proceeding* are being held in the shadow of ti;e dome of the capitol and Mr. Held Is a member of Congress. Mili tary officers have been so roughly handled at times by Congressional committees that perhaps they have come to expect that sort of thing even when a member of the na tional legislature merely is acting us attorney for an accused officer. No word of resentment has come from the court over the. obstruc tive tactics' which already have prolonged the trial ahd which promise to carry it well Into the winter. At the War Department today It was said that the effort to create a "sensation" out of the fact t h :? ? President Cootldge has been held uj/as both accuser and final Judge In the Mitchell case must fall of Its own weight because nominally (the President in all court martial cases and also the reviewing au thority In every case Involving punishment or lack of punishment. Presidents repeatedly have chided courts martial for returning ver dicts of not guilty when it has seemed to them a case was truly made against the defendant. Kvery Important act in the Army, the Navy and 1he Marine corps is done by direction of au thority of I be President No gen eral court martial la called with out his consideration and sanction The Secretery of War and the Sec retary of the Navy are merely the "hands" of the President. They express hla authority. Slurs cast upon the conduct of the Army and Navy therefore, are in effect. ! slurs upon the President. \OMI\ATKI> CANDID \TKN HHI IJMODW S4 HOI.
