Dyer, a graduate of the j Law
School of the University of Texas,
spoke on the difference Mw.-.n
military law, mnrtial law and
military government, and explain
ed why military law is
in a democracy.' j
Articles of military lair provide
strict rules of Conduct regarding
offenses againat officers by enlist
ed men, according to Major Dyer.
The same rales apply to officers
who do not conduct themselves an
officers and gentlemen.
MiliUry law is sppiiad tq army
men only, while martial tew is
spplied to civilians by military law.
It is usually enforced by. state
troops. Military government} is ap
plied to conquered civilian popula
tions.
Grover Cleveland was th^ first
president who was forced to use
martial law, said Major Djisr. Ho
called out the militia to 1 stop
strikes in Chicago during h * ad

A fact b'ought oat was that a
man may be tried by one Military
