Dbject o f Courtmartial, Say Officers,
Is Efficient Army.
Washington, D. C.—The system of
military jurisprudence is designed to
produce an efficient, dependable fight
ing army, not to do exact justice to in
dividual soldiers, according to the
views vigorously presented Friday to
the committee of the American Bar
association by army officers of field
experience, including Majqr-General
Edwin F. Glenn, organizer and com
mander of the 83d division, now in
command of Camp Sherman.
In attaining that objective, the of
ficers contended, the present machin
ery for enforcing military discipline
had proved both efficient and fair
the final product of the system closely
app^ximating justice to the individual
in addition to producing what General
Glenn described as the best disciplined
grmy in France.
£ases of court-martial sentences so
excessive in the penalty awarded as
to be* ridiculous were freely admit
ted by the officers. Such sentences
only served, General Glenn insisted
to prove that even in the early stages
of military-legal proceedings, the ac
tion of the courts in no case being
final, fairness was the general rule.
Judge Gregory, chairman of the com
mittee, and General Glenn, engaged in
considerable argument which brought
out that the officer, speaking both
from his military experience and his
special training in civil law as a grad
uate of the law school of the Univer
aity of Minnesota, saw little in com
mon between the purposes of civil
justice and its militay equivalent.
Major 'Charles H. MacDonald, Gen
eral Glenn’s divisional judge advocate
at Camp Sherman, and before the war
an attorney for the federal trade com
mission, followed his chief and ex
pressed the same views.

ate to the limit with those counties,
and to urge additional co-operation
from the government. Roughly, about
400 miles are involved in the plan, 148
miles in Lake; 145 miles in Klamath
and 105 miles connecting Lakeview
and Klamath Falls, the mileage being
about equal between the two counties.
For Lake county the state will put
up $200,000? the county will bond itself
for $200,000, which Is its limit, and
the government will be asked to con
tribute $400,000.
The contemplated
road improvements in Klamath will
cost an estimate of $861,980. The
county will turn over $20,000 now on
hand, and bond Itself for $360;000> and
the Indian department will give at
least $25,000, as the road will go
through the reservation. The rest of
the money iftcessary will he raised by
the state and the government.
Not a great deal can be accomplish
ed on this Lake-Klamath program this
year, for the projects for co-operation
must be taken up with the government
which, it is understood, is willing to
help.
. The plan calls for developmept of
the 105 miles from Klamath Falls to
Lakeview, which will cost $557,674 for
the lake end and $234,594 for the Kla
math end. There Is 130 miles of road
projected from Lakeview to the north
county line, which will cost about
$557,674, and this road will codnect in
Deschutes county and continue on to
Bend. From Lakeview south to New

It had been expected to open sooner
but the crop of fall-sown spinach was
not as successful as expected. The
first run is to be entirely of spinach
and is expected to total 800 tons, for
which growers are to be paid $20 a
ton. vThe product Is estimated to
reach 800,000 cans.
Mr. Turvin reports a strong demand
for canned spinach. Thirty men are
now at work preparing for the resump

about 90 per cent of the stuff canned
in the 1918 season ha3 already been
