Naval PrisMers' Probation.

Judge-Advocate-Genera! Samuel C. Lemly, of the Navy, has summed op in tabular form the results of the first complete year's record of the probation system for the treatment of naval pris-

oners.

The results are gratifying to the officials of the department, for they indicate that almost one man out of two sentenced by s court-martial for naval offenses will reform if given a chance under this system. Thus it is shown .hat there were ao men on probation Julyi. 1991. During the yfcar following 32 sailors were so placed on probation. Of the total 17 men were unconditionally restored to good standing in the service. Only four deserted, while fire failed of reform and were required to serve out their sentences. One was given an honorable discharge, and three were discharged as undesirable, leaving ao men on probation at the beginning of

the present fiscal year."
