No simple "A. W. O. L." the princi
pal crime .on. the calendar of Amer
ica's peace, time army, can De
stretched to cover the courts martial
procedure in war times, according to
Captain Cicero Frank Hogan, who
returned yesterday from 31 months
service with the A. E. F. and in
Washington. . After serving five
months at the front with the 148th
field artillery, the Portland attorney
was sent with the army of occupa
tion into Germany and a few months
later transferred from the Judge ad
vocate's department to a post as spe
cial counsel in the inspector-gen
eral's department in Pans.
In the French capital Captain
Hogan was connected with numerous
sensational army cases and acted as
legal advisor in the winding up of
A E. F. affairs after the declaration
of the armistice.
"Army Linen Washed."
"We had everything from petty
larceny to murder and arson in the
ranks." he said. "While I have been
in the uniform I have met some of
the finest men the .country can boast
of, but scattered in among them were
some ' of the cleverest crooks the
United States ever produced. It was
up to our department to wash the
dirty linen and not leave it on the
hands of the French when the troops
were withdrawn."
The captain declares that the uni
form made it easy for crooks to get
by and, in describing some of his ex
periences, said that while visiting a
prisoner, whom he was defending,
the man asked him, "It's so easy, Cap
tain Hogan, why don't you do it
yourself?"
Commissioned in Cavalry.
Captain Hogan left Portland with
commission In the old Oregon
cavalry, with which he saw service
on the Mexican border. At camp
Greene this became part of the 148th
field artillery and was sent to France
to receive training at Camp d'Souge.
While stationed at this place the cap
tain was trial judge advocate. He
went to the front with his unit, tak
ing part in the Champagne-Marne de
fensive and the offensives of the
Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel and Meuse-
Argonne, spending five months and
two weeks contfnuously in the line.
When the armistice was declared
Hogan went on into Germany and
was stationed at Coblenz as as
sistant trial judge advocate and as
adjutant of the 66th brigade. In April,
1919, he was ordered to the Fans of
fice of the judge advocate and in
September transfered to the Inspector
general's department. He arrived in
Washington December 23 and re
mained there until last Tuesday,
when he was given a 30-day furlough

SPIRITISM DENOUNCED BY
PLAIN BIBLE TEACHINGS
Sir Oliver Lodge Does Not Communicate With"
, His Son Raymond, But Is Laboring: Under
Great Last Day Deception, Declares
Evangelist L. K. Dickson.
That Raymond, the son ot Sir Oli
ver Lodge, bas never been communi
cated with since his death at ths
hands ot the enemy, and that the
great claims of his father and Spir
itism are but evidences of the last
great deception foretold in the Bible,
were the declarations of Evangelist
I K. Dickson In his sermon delivered
last night in Chrlstensen'a hall on the
subject, "Spiritism What About Sir
Oliver Lodge and Raymond Is It All
Fraud T'
The evangelist said In part:
"In spite of the fact that Sir Oliver
Lodge is an eminent scientist and a
very learned man. and in spite of the
fact that many other equally as emi
nent and learned as he are just now
confessing to believe the fundamental
claim of Spiritism, namely, that the
dead can and do communicate with
the living, the evidence upon the
question has never been given. For
it is only to the one who either has
forgotten, or does not believe, that
there is a deceptive power at work
in the world and in the heart of
men, even as the Rlble declares, who
Is willing to take as evidence the fact
that certain pictures or something
else not known to the living Investi
gator Is described and afterward
found, as described by some super
natural power. This would not prove
the identity ef the spirit Involved.
They seem to forgot, while admitting
that there Is sometimes trickery man
ifested, that there could possibly be
any trickery manifested regarding
the identity of any of their relatives
whose apparition comes to them. Cer
tainly such science Is what the Scrip
tures term 'science, falsely so-called';
for 'science comes from the word
'scio,' to know.
"It is only by an utter disregard
of the plainest kind of statement In
scripture that such doctrine can be
believed. Wherever the Bible treats
upon the pretended communication
with tho dead It shows clearly that
those who continue in this deception
'shall not Inherit the kingdom of
God.' (Gal. v:19-21). While this
modern cult disclaims any part with
those mentioned in the scriptures as
necromancers, yet to one who will
take the trouble to look up the mean
ing of words It will be shown that
this so-called 'new revelation' la noth
ing short of modernized sorcery. The
Century dictionary defines necroman
cy aa 'calling up the spirits of the
dead and Conversing with them; the
pretended summoning of apparitions
of the dead In order that they may
answer questions.' Dr. Cesare Lom-
broso, founder of the science of crim
inology and a leading Investigator of
the claim which Sir Oliver Lodge
teaches, says, in the book, 'Are the
Dead Aliver page 121: 'At Venice I
assisted at a most strange occurrence.
By the aid of the medium we Invoked
the spirit of a defunct countess,
Countess M The spirit was very
long In making her appearance, and
when she did she quickly disappeared,
leaving a message written on the ta
ble in Latin.' The New Standard dic
tionary says that 'invoke' means 'to
summon or conjure aa a sorcerer or
by means of sorcery.' 'Defunct' is
defined as 'dead, deceased. Thus spir
itism in its modern setting is proven
identical with the claims of ancient
sorcery. .
"Synonyms for necromancy.' ac
cording to the dictionary, are 'divina
tion, enchantment, incantation, magic,
the black art, witchcraft.' The God
of. the Bible has expressed his con
demnation of all sucn practices (Deut.
xviii:10-12; Lev. xx:6; Lev. xix:Sl; Ex.
xxii:18). Me has expressed the cli
max of his abhorreace In Rev. xxi:8,
'But the fearful, and unbelieving, and
abominable, and murderers, and for
nicators, and SORCERERS, and Idola
ters, and all liars shall have their part
in ine iaxe tnat ournetn with fire
and brimstone; which la the second
death.'
"The more modern aspect ef thla
ancient sorcery began In the Koa
family In Hydesvllle, near Rochester,
N. T., In 1848. They began by myste
rious rapplngs on bed and wall and
panel. Invisible, and accounted for by
no known physical law. The rap.
ping responded to question by the
use of the alphabet, showing Intelli
gence behind the noises. These In
telligence claimed to be th dis
embodied spirit of those who once
lived upon the earth. With this small
beginning this belief has grown In
Christian lands by leap and bound
and 1 now encircling the globe, hav
