Chamberlain would revise martial laws
Washington Sept 3 Military commanders would gain power to summarily judge soldiers prone to leaving commands before battle. General John F O Bri nden NY National Guard testified on the Chamberlain bill amid calls for a broader reform of military justice. He said rewards and patriotism spur courage but fear of punishment for shirking remains, while appellate relief could curb harsh convict-only clemency. O Ryan noted the core aim is a fair appellate check to avoid mass punitive measures while enforcing discipline. Long sentences were used to terrorize the mass, and mass discipline was the army’s real goal. More First Division units arrived in New York aboard Santa Teresa and Edelin, including 24 officers and 1,133 men of the 18th Infantry.
