clares Military 'Justice'
Too Severe.
N"w York Jan. 4. Administration
of military justice la the United
States array will be one of the sub-
jects considered at the annual meet-
imp of the American Bar association.
President Georse T. Pace of
Peoria IIL declared that the war has
determined "tha't our military laws
and our system of administering
military Justice are unworthy of the!
name of law or justice.' The united
States be sad. still is following rules
copied from England in 1T74 but
which were abandoned Ions ago by
Great Britain and which were better
suited 'to the armies of feudal times
than to the citizen armies of a mod-
ern republic"
Pnnlikmrntl Too Harsh.
Punishments are not only grossly
harsh as compared with the penal-
ties Imposed for like offenses by our
criminal courts he cald. -hot they
also differ so widely that we find the
same offence punished in one court-
martial by 16 years In the peniten-
tiary and in another by six months'
punishment in disciplinary barracks.
"A boy overstaylne his leave or
vleMinf to a natural impulse to so
home for Christmas is charged not
with absence without leave but with
desertion. Disobedience of orders is
seen by a zealous officer as mutiny.
In neither case is there present the
intent to desert or to mutiny against
the authority of the army but boys
have been convicted of the graver
crimes and sentenced to as much as
35 years' imprisonment.
Refer to Texas Case.
The negro soldiers convicted of
shooting up a Texas town were exe-
cuted within a few hours after they
were convicted and before there was
an opportunity for a review of the
record of the trial.
-A group of noncommissioned offi-
cers after being ordered under ar-
rest by a youns officer were accused
of mutiny because they refused in a
body to do drill duty while under ar-
rest. Their positoin was in accord-
ance with army regulations. Never-
theless they were courtmartlaled for
mutiny and sentences ranging from
15 to Z years were imposed.

the designation of Mr. Hoover to take
charge of the relief work is in con-
formity with the request of the allied
governments that the United States
take a predominating part in tne or
ganisation and direction of relief
measures.
Mr. Hoover said that German ships.
wuu"16 uconj .v .-. .
lused to carry food to Europe and that
utilised to send American soldiers
borne.
"Food worth $1. 500 1000 must be
Imported into Europe between now
and July X." he said.
In discussing the food situation In
Germany Mr. Hoover said that the
United States has ZS officers traveling
through that country conducting an
btvestigatSon. He said that as yet. re
ports are not sufficiently complete
tor a definite statement of the Ger-
man oositten. but he thinks that im
mediate relief will probably not be
imperative.
In any event he Indicated that
Germany mnst wait until the other
snfferers are fed.
When asked hew the commission
would prevent the great drain on
American foodstuffs from raising
prices In the United States. Mr. Hoov-
er said that the food would be taken
gradually and only as it could be
spared.

Guest At Official Dinner.
President Wilson was the guest of
honor at an official dinner given at
the Quirinal last night. There were;
only two addresses by king Victor;
Emmanuel and by Mr. Wilson.
The king said:
"Ton. yourself. Mr. President are I
become our welcome and pleasing j
guest onlv today but in the con-;
science of oar people your personality
already for a long time has Inscribed
itself In an tneffscable way. It is
that which In Itself gathers all the
powers which go to stimulate a will
bent on liberty and justice and gives
inspiration toward the nicnest con
ception of the destinies of humanity
Reception Sbom Admiration.
The enthusiastic salutations which
have accompanied your passage
through the streets of Rome today
are attestations of the sentiments of
admiration and recognition that your
own name and labor and the name
and labor of the United States stir in
the Italian people. The principles In
which you with magnificent synthesis
have summed up the Ideal reasons of
the war for liberty find resonance in
Italian hearts.
The best traditions of Italian cul-
ture the liveliest development of our
national thoughts have constantly
aimed at th same Ideal coal toward
the establishment of the Internationa
peace for which vou hare with tena
cious Xaith. stood.
Already before t.e aorror of
yrmr nnd the fraternity of our
amir hud established today's

tions and purposes between our
two rotxntrles. lejrton of oar
workers bad emljrrated to year
crest crrat repnblle. They had
knitted America and Italy to-
gether with atrooj; cords of re-
lationship aad these became re-
laforeed by tbe spiritual affinity
between both peoples who had a
common faith la the Tlrtne of frre
political corernment.
"Italy having; now gathered to her
own bosom those brothers so Ions sor-
rowing under foreign oppression and
having- reconquered the confines
which alone can give her security and
true independence- is preparing her-
self to cooperate with you in the most
cordial manner; with you to reach
tne most practical means for drawing
into a single circle the civilized na-
tions for the purpose of creatine tn
ine supreme xorm ox a league ox na
tions the conditions most fitted to
safeguard and protect each one's
rights.
Moved By Same InrDOse.
"Italy and America entered together
into the war through a rare act of
will; they were moved by the purpose
to concur with all their energies in
an effort to prevent the domination of
tae cult or force in the world; they
were moved by the purpose to reaf-
firm in the scale of human values the
principles of liberty and Justice. They
entered into war to conauer the
powers of war. Their acornplishment
is still unfinished and the common
worK must still be developed with
firm faith and with tenacious con
stancy for the purpose of effecting
tne security or peace.
Toasts Mr. Wilson.

in your honor and in the honor of Mrs.
TVUson. whoce gentle presence adds

prosperity and to the continued and
increasing preetige 01 tne great

In renlv president Wilson snolce as
follows:
"Tour majesty
I have been very much touched by
the generous terms of the address you
have Just read. - I feel it wonld be
difficult for me to make a worthy re-
ply and yet if I could speak simply
the things that are in my heart. 1 am
sure they would constitute sn ad
equate reply.
America Admire. 'Italy.
T had occasion- at the parliament
this afternoon to speak of the strong
sympathy that had sprung up between
the United States and Italy during the
terrible years of the war. but perhaps
here 1 can speak more intimately and
say how sincerely the people of the
United States had admired your own
course and your own constant asso-
ciation with the armies of Italy and
the gracious and generous and serv-
ing association of her majesty the
queen.
"It has been a matter of pride with
us that so man7 Italians so many
men of Italian origin were in our own
armies and associated with their
brethern In Italy Itself in the great
enterprise of freedom. These are no
small matters and they complete that
process of the welling together of the
sympathies of nations which has been
going on so long between our peoples.
Serve Countrymen In IT. S.
"The Italians In the United States
have excited a particular degree of
admiration. Tney I believe are tne
only people of a given nationality who
have been careful to organize them-
selves to see that their compatriots
coming to America were from month
to month and year to year guided to
places In Industries most suitable to
their previous habits. No other na-
tionality has'taken such pains in that
and in serving their fellow country
men they have served the United
States because these people have
found pieces where they would be
most useful and would most immed-
iately earn their own living and add
to tne nrosDerlty or the country it
self.
Value Their Contribution.

was El vine- nlavfullv to nremier Or
lando and baron Sonnlno this after-
noon that In trying to put the people
of the world under their proper sov
ereignties we would not be wlllln to
part with the Italians in the United
States because we too much -value the
contribution they hare made not only
in the Industry of the United States
out to its tnougnt ana to many ele-
ments of its life.
This therefore 1. a welcome
occasion noon which to express a
feeling that goes very deep. 1 was
touched the other day to have an
Italian a very plain man say to
me that we bad helped to feed
Italy daring the war. and It went
to my heart because we had been
able to do so little.

also won its victories without which
the other victories on land and sea

so much needed during the progress

goes out to the little poor families all

the brunt and the strain of the war

other men free and other women and
other children free. These are the
people and many like them to whom
after all we owe the glory of this
