' "The ordering of my court mar tial Is a continuation ot the medi eval system that is now In vogue," he said. - "This action avoids any possi bility of looking Into the rights and . wrongs ot the present system. I ; am confident that I will come outj on top." I The 96th artlcie of war. under which Mitchell will be tried,-" if general In its nature. In some; quarters K was thongbt that the 62nd art We of war wonld be charged, under which "contempt- j nous or disrespectful words"; against a number ot officials and congress. Including the secretary of war is specified. The 96th article of war says: "Though not mentioned In these articles,- all disorders and neglects to the prejudice ot good order and, military discipline, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the military service, and all crimes or' offenses not capital, of which per- sons subject to military law may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general or special or sum mary court martial, according to the nature and degree of the of fense, and punished at the discre tion of such court." Conviction under article 96 pro vides a penalty ranging from dis missal from the service with con finement at bard labcr down to reprimand and admonition, so that the court will have wide latitude. Alternative penalties besides these two listed In court martial law are: - Dismissal: loss ot rank or files;' suspension from rank, command or duty, with or without loss or de tention of pay or part ot pay; for feiture of pay or part of pay; de tention ot pay or part ot pay; res triction to limits; dishonorable dis charge. It requires a two-thirds vote of the court marlal to convict. The decision of the court mar tial Is subject to review first by a board of review composed of three officers, as to technical procedure, its correctness, the admlssabillty of evidence presented and other ques tions. The decision then goes for re view to the judge advocate general, they could not retreat northward, he subject also to review by Presi dent Coolldge, since the court was ordered at his direction. Gen. Butler Is Held Absolute Necessity WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 20. United News General Smedley But ler, loaned from the marines to make Philadelphia a law-abiding city, can no longer feel that there are i few If any who appreciate his "clean up" efforts In tho "City of Brothurly Love." Governor Plnchot of Pennsylvania not only believes in tho efficacy of Duller'! work, but frankly told 1'res Idcnt Ooolidise In conference Monday , that to take Butler away now "would : encourage every vkioua element in ' the state and weaken every force that it fighting tor decency." Plnchot told the president that there la a strong and earnest desire on the part of "Uod-fearlux, constitution-respecting, decent people of Pennsylvania that General Butler j should be allowed to finish the job! he had 'to well begun The Pennsylvania executive had a king talk with the president.

Plnchot as to the president's deel' sion on Butler's retention. COCLIDGE HOLDS RELIGION IS NEED (Continued from Page One) blame wben evil conditions arise. "It is always easy to criticize the government for failure to reform all morals, to prevent all crime, and generally tq abolish all evils," he added. "I have great faith In the , of economics at Syracuse univer local and national governments oflslty, maintained that surtaxes the United States' but much of! should be maintained at a high this field is beyond their reach. I rate, even up to 5 per cent, in They were not established to dls- stead of placing the maximum at 20 charge this duty; they are utterly per cent as suggested by Mellon, unable to accomplish It." Contrary to this opinion was one While the law acts as a deter- given by Edward P. Doyle, speak rent to wrong-doing, it reaches Its ng for tie real estate board of highest application, "only when New York city, who urged re- there e Is a 'very healthy ,and deter-! auction 0f the maximum surtax! 4va oul 10 tP stuuaota oi twaiu ed bnblie sentiment In fnri,.. . lu nee iw ' hh .i.r.l " conuty hirl school minea pudiic sentiment in iavor of the Observance of the law," he declared. j "The utmost ingenuity on thei part of the police powers will be substantially wasted In an effort I to enforce the law It there does' not exist a strong and vigorous determination on the part of the people to observe the law. Such: a determination cannot be produced' by the government. My opinion is1 that It Is furnished by religion." Speaking directly on radicalism, the president said that with few exceptions those "who come to us as enemies ot society are so be cause they have always found so ciety enemies to them." The moral powers of religion, he asserted, will aid greatly in securing their alle giance. Teaching or religion, be said, necessarily meant . teaching educa tion and government, and furnished a needed support of the government without which political effort would be practically fruitless. 'T have tried to Indicate," he continued, "what I think the coun try needs In the way of help under present conditions. It needs more religion. If there are any general failures In the enforcement of the law, It Is because there have first been general failures in the dis position to observe the law. I can conceive of no adequate remedy for the evils which beset society except through the Influences of religion. Thore Is no form of education which i will not fail, there Is no form of government which will not fall, there Is no form of reward which will not fall. Redemption must come through sacrifice and sacrifice is the essence of religion. It will be untold benefit If there Is a broader comprehension of this prln- ii,io uy me puoiic ana a continued preaching of this crusade by the1 clergy. It is only through these, avenues by a constant renewal and : extension of our fa'.th that we can' expect to enlarge and improve the' moral and spiritual Hfo of the na tion. Without that faith all that we havo of enlightened civilization, cannot endure." Classified advertisins; is a morning paper proposition al ways. Use the News.
