EUGENE WAMBAUGH, LL.D. PROFESSOR IN THE LAW SCHOOL OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY INTERLEAVED NOTE-BOOK EDITION CAMBRIDGE HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS Copyright, 1917 BY EUGENE WAMBAUGH Seyer 29, 1917 Seger SEP 29 1917 copy & THE UNIVERSITY PRESS, CAMBRIDGE, U.S. A. PREFACE In the Army, knowledge of the Articles of War is not a luxury but a necessity. The beginner in military matters will do well to carry the Articles of War in his pocket. Hence this little book. Part I gives those portions of the Constitution of the United States which expressly or argumentatively serve as a foundation for the Articles of War. Part II gives the Articles of War themselves, and adds references to some of the relevant passages in the Manual for Courts-Martial, edition of 1917 the official publication which is in effect a commentary upon the Articles of War. Part III gives practical problems. To read the Articles of War again and again, to apply them to the problems herein given and to others, to write queries and comments, and to study the Manual for Courts-Martial — this is the way to know the Articles of War as they should be known. Even the beginner may soon be able to call many of them by their numbers; and doubtless among these will be A. W. 54, 58, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 69, 75, 83, 84, 85, 86, 93, 94, 95, and 96. Finally, it should be borne in mind that the present Articles of War were approved on August 29, 1916, and, with a few exceptions, did not go into effect until March 1, 1917, and that consequently all documents or treatises earlier than 1917 must be used with caution.
