WORST EoGS IN THE I BEST SECRETARIES Faint Spirit Rappings On Troopships Only Soldiers Rolling Dice By RALPH ALLEN Tribune War Correspondent LONDON, March 33. Almost everyone knows tne major keyi 01 war, either by direct acquaintance Created to deal with military offences only, military law and its procedure guarantee the accused soldier Justice," according to Major E. A. Fletcher, Assistant Judge Advocate General, M.D. 10.

A lawyer In civilian life. Major Fletcher also has an Intimate knowledge of the army and Its law, having served In the first World War. "Certain mill tary offences," be explained, "may be tried by a commanding officer II the soldier consents, 1 1 1 more serious offences may be tried only by a Courts Martial. But regardless of the nature of the offence, a soldier always has the right to demand trial by Courts Martial "Although a man la In the army he remains subject to civil law," Major Fletcher said. Describing military legal proceedings he said, "all evidence that it Is proposed to bring against the accused in suport of the charge Is recorded and at least 24 hours before the trial the soldier is furnished with a copy of the charge sheet and a copy of the summary of evidence.

"A soldier Is entitled to retain counsel or he may request an officer to be detailed to defend him Courts Martial to the rules of evidence as laid down by the civil tngiisn courts. "Although there Is no anneal from the verdict of a Courts Mar tial a soldier who feels he has been and a frequent puzzler. There is always the fear from distribution of opponent cards. And when it is possible to finesse in either direction, there Is often a doubt as to which way to finesse. Nothing Is sure In the play of any deal.

But a good player Is no chump. He looks for a legitimate edge and takes it. And his legitimate edge Is his knowledge of what Is most likely to happen. He makes a rule of what Is likely to work more often than not. He may not always follow that rule.

But he has it on tap as a guide. Nor does he expect It to work always. But it excels a hunch. Horse Sense uses the easiest rule for deciding the possible distribution of outstanding opponent cards. It Is: An even number divides unequally; and odd numbers are equally as possible.

That rule frequently will help you decide which way to finesse mess tins when a battle's finished companlment. Crap shooting Is es and the Meld kitchen has caught up again. Sounds on Troopships These sea going spirit rappings are sometimes confusing to passengers who are sailing on their first troopship, but most people recognize them readily enough as the noise of rolling dice.

If It Is found that evidence has been Improperly admitted or the proper form not followed or the sentence Is not In strict accordance with military law the conviction Is quashed on the advice of the Judge advooate general." "It also Is the duty of the judge advocate general's branch to advise soldiers In legal matters pertaining to their private affairs.

The Canadian War Association has been co operating In this respect by furnishing the services of members of the bar on behalf of soldiers recommended by the A.J.A.G. For these services a nominal fee only is charged. At present, these services do not extend to matters involving domestic relations. Lists Duties Duties of the assistant Judge advocate general could be broken down as follows: first, to advise the district officer commanding or any branch or officer at District Headquarters on questions of law; second, to examine applications and evidence for District Courts Martial If these are not In order to advise the assistant adjutant and quartermaster general; third, to assist and advise the A. A.

and Q.M.G., in preparing orders con venlng District Courts Martial; fourth, to assist and advise with respect to Courts of Inquiry and Investigations but not, unless cir cumstances are unusual, to conduct them; and fifth, to review proceedings of District Court Martial and advise any errors, irregularities or omissions, In either form or pro cedure. "From the legal viewpoint; Major Fletcher added, "today's soldier, in many respects Is better off than the average civilian.

The minor keys are less familiar, and yet they are the ones that army sea transports of various types and there was one sound, common to all of them, that never varied In pitch or rhythm.

The desperate grind and whine of a motor convoy fighting Its way through a muddy detour, the lonely, fading phantom chug of a single motor bike speeding down a side road at night; the pleading night cry of "Taxi!" rising above the unheeding swish of tires on a wet London pavement; the footsteps of a battalion on Us way into the line, slow and regular and not wanting to go, but still going, as relentlessly at a was as a part pattern below decks as the creaK of the straining plates and bulk According to one American soldier I talked to, this unnatural ban on speech means that shooting dice at sea is an entirely different proposition than shooting dice on land.

Troopships travelling from east to west are fairly roomy and comfortable. But travelling the other way they are likely to be carrying anything from two to four times as many passengers. Instead of three full meals, plus afternoon tea, the galleys serve two meals daily, 10 hours apart, and it's up the Individual soldier to keep his weight up in between by independent purchases of cookies and chocolate at the well stocked can teens. Every hold that Is not used for baggage is filled with bunks, four deep, usually, the rows so close to gether that theres barely room to walk between them. Sometimes the ventilation Isn't all It should be, and when the sea starts acting up, or deck of a converted luxury liner can be one of the least luxurious habitats In the world.

Incidentally, when the occupants of the upper bunks feel that certain feeling com Ing on, It Is considered good form to holler "Timber!" for the benefit of those on the lower levels.
