him before them immediately.
A telegTam was accordingly
sent to him, inviting him to ap-
pear before the commission and
it is probable that he will be the
first witness to be heard.
Unlcsa Major Seaman can justi-
fy all bis charges, he will be
court-martialed. In any event, it
is possible that he may be asked
whv he did not reserve his report
for the authonties, instead of
ventilating bis views in the press.
The war department authorities
openly promise that it will go
hard with Major Seaman if he
tails to sustain his charges, and
in the meantime he will be form-
ally held upon to render an ex-
planation of bis conduct in
criticising the department and the
military authorities.
His connection with the army
as a commissioned volunteer
regimental surgeon makes his
amenable to army regulations.
His statement that the soldiers
were “murdered” places the
blame for a serious crime upon
