HATTIESBURO, Mis*., March 4.-Major-Oeneral W. H. Sage, commanding general at Camp Shelby, has put the ; ban on gambling. In an .order General I Sage says: "Reports have been received • ®***ce that instructions regarding gambling have been ignored in some I Gambling in every form is pro- , Any person or persons found gambling wifnin the limit of this camp , will be reported to their organization commanders, and by such organization commanders will be subjected to disciplinary action. Any civilian found S*’*P®*mg in the camp will be Immei turned over to military police. I. AU organization commanders will have this order regarding gambling reM to the men of their command at retreat on two successive days. Noncommissioned officers in charge of quarl**"* Iti dll organizations should be required to maae an inspection one of more times a day to see that orders regarding gambling are not being violated. This is of especial importance around pay day. Kegi-mental and brigade commanders should occasionally send an officer to the camps of their regiments to see that this order is

made effective.”

Regarding Court»-Martial.

General Sage has issued another order that will be read with a great deal of interest not only by soldiers, but by the relatives of soldiers everywhere. It has beisn a common practice in some organizattons to take an enlisited man before a court-martial for the most

trivial offenses.

A case of this kind occurred in the 152d Infantry. On the subject of courtsmartial, General Sage, in his order says. "In some organizations of the division it is felt that altogthr too many cases are being tried by court-martal. This, In a large measure, takes the maintenance of discipline out of the hands of the organization commander, who depends altogether on the actions of the various courts for the upbuilding of discipline fti the organizations. Where too frequent use is made of court-mar-tial the result la that the discipline of the organization is not improved. Ordinarily the discipline is not as good as If the organ'izaton commander had kept the controllng power in his own hands as long as possible. More use should be made of restriction and ‘company punishment as allowed under the manual' of court-martial and an attempt made to reduce a number of courtsmartial. Ordiaarily when the men return from aosence without leave of their own accord, and upless the of fense be an aggravated one. or has been repeated several times, it should not be necessaiT to place the man in the guardhouse. Punishment in a simple case of absence without leave should be such as, if possible in first offenses, to keep from vplaclng men In the guardhouse where they associate with men charged with much graver offenses To Reduce Such Cases. It is the purpose of these headquarters to reduce trials by court-martial to cases properly triable by such court and not incur the unnecessary expense and waste of time of many officers by trying cases which should not come to trial, or if tried where one of the minor courts would suffice. Records of general courts-martial show that captains are being used in a large number of cases as counsel for accused at courtmartial trials. It is believed that captains of the present large organizations have sufficient work to keep them employed all their time without appearing as counsel to enlisted men being tried by general court-martial ‘•Paitlcular cases have been noted where on© captain seems to have had time to appear as counsel for several poisons. There can be no doubt that nis organization suffered on this ac- < ount. Hereafter officers responsible for the discipline of organizations, In Dther words troop, battery and company commanders, will not be permitted to act as counsel In court-martial cases, except under very unusual circumstances, and in that case approval must be had from these headquarters.” • Boxing Tournament. A boxing tournament was held Saturday at Birmingham, and a number of Indiana men took part. Lieutenant Pete Vaughan, 15‘2d Infantry, took the following Indiana battlers to the .tournament and every one of them came back with honors: Private Earl L. Hensley, Battery F, 139th field artillery; Corporal Loren N. Mellok, Battery D. 137th field artillery, and Private Aug. C. Klenle, Battery F, 137th field artillery. Major Ellis Duncan, surgeon of the 138th field artillery, has been transferred from that organization to the 113th sanitary train and made director of field hospital to succeed Major Charles Hibbett, promoted to lieutenant-colonel. Two of the Indiana hospitals are in Major Duncan’s command. By order of Major Ben B. Wlmer, acting commander of the xBlst Infantry, the following promotions and appointments have been made In that regiment: Company A, First Class Private Earl V.

WASHINGTON, March 4. — Recent American casualties In a gas attack Illustrated the experience of all the European armies that the success of the barWous weapon revived by the Germans largely Is dependent on surprise, since Inmroved masks have eliminated all danger If the men have time to put them on. The Americans were caught asleep or before they were able to adjust their masks, which a statement by the gas defense service of the medical depai'tment declares to be the most efficient in existence. Gas masks now are being manufactured at a rate which assures an amply suDPly for the troops abroad and for training at home, said the service statement.

PARIS, Sunday, March 8 (by the Associated Press).—Premier Clemenceau visited', the American troops tod^ and reviewed the soldiers who repulsed the German attack Friday. The premier left Paris Saturday evening and returned this evening when the following semi-official note was Issued. "The president of the council desires personally to congratulate the American troops In the sector whore they have Just repelled brilliantly a strong enemy attack. The battalion which took part In this operation was reviewed by the premier in whose presence the general commanding the army decorated with the war cross certain officers and privates whose bravery had been particularly remarkable "This check to the enemy attack was, moreover, far more severe than first Information showed. The American government had modestly announced that some of the enemy had been killed and some made prisoner. As a mattw of fact, the latest reconnolssanco# have shown.that In addition to these losm the Germans left quite a large number of corpses between the lines. Artillery Fire Accurate. "It was a very fine success, reflecting great honor on the tenacity of the American infantry and the accuracy of the artillery fire, which have thus shown they ore capable of attaining the maximum effect from the French material which they have adopted. "After visiting the field hospital.

where he admired the morale of the wounded, the premier went to the front lines to examine the scene of this operation. During hli conversations with American generals, officers and privates, the premier noted In every one a feeling of absolute confidence, which. If possible, has, been hlghtened further by the brilllanti results of their .first serious meeting with the enemy, ever whom our allies have thus clearly shown their superiority. "The premier also saw on his way some of our own troops at rest. He conv'ersed with the officers and men, warmly congratulating and encouraging them. Our pollus had but one reply: " 'They shall not pass!’ ” Pershing Meets Clemenceau. A prominent government official who accompanied the premier said: ■‘T can not, of course, say what eeetlon the premier visited, nor give any military detail, but your gallant General Pershing came to meet him and aecoi^onied him on the entire visit "Your army made altogether on excellent Impression on the premier. He found the men In perfect physical condition and their morale thcroughlv satisfactory, showing calmness, confidence and Implacable resolution. Their evident deeire Is to rival in courage their elders In the struggle. The premier equally was struck by the fine bearing of your officers and their skill in handling their men, and also by the extreme cordiality of their relations with their French comrades.’*

Training the men comprises long drills in adjusting the masks, exhibitions of the efficiency of the masks by having the men enter a gas-flUed hut wearing them and finally sham gas attacks at unexpected moments. Three separate parts now are comprised In the gas defense service, known as the field supply section, the field training wdon and overseas repair section.
