His rank of Rear-Admiral is relative and does not carry with it the right to perform military duties or to assume command over a vessel or force of men If no officer senior to him is present. At the same time the rank of Rear Admiral in the medical corps carries many advantages, including immunity from sea duty for all time. Naval officers today pointed to stat ute 1506 of the Navy, which says: "Any officer of the Navy may, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, be advanced not exceeding SO numbers in rank for eminent and con spicuous conduct in battle or extraordi nary heroism." Hence, they say, legally SO numbers are the maximum of advancement which the Nation can bestow as a re ward for the greatest possible service. Dr. Grayson is being advanced 114. Naval Authorities Say SO Numbers Is Maximum That Can Be Be stowed legally as Reward for Greatest Service. WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. President Wilson will Insist on the promotion in the Navy he has given Dr. Cary T. Grayson. White House physician and the President's military aide. When the Senate committee on naval affairs meets in its next regular session Tuesday, the nomination of Passed Assistant Surgeon Grayson to be medical director in the Navy with the rank of Rear-Admiral, will be called i p for action. At the same time the com mittee will have before it the nomina tion of other staff officers of the Navy whom President Wilson seeks to pro mote to the newly created rank of Rear-Admiral in the several corps to which they belong. Most of the Democratic members have shown in the past their desire to conform to the wishes of President Wilson, and it is the expectation that a favorable report on all these nomina tions, including that of Dr. Grayson, will be ordered. PASSENGER STEAMER IS SAFE Lamport & Holt Liner, for Which Fear Was Felt, Reaches Fort. RIO JANEIRO, Brazil. Jan. 21. The British steamer Vauman has arrived safely at Bahla.

As comman der of the Oregon cavalry he has been on the border for the past seven months and is home on a brief leave looking after the budget of the National Guard in the Legislature. f "It is true that the Oregon troops were the first on the border," he said last night. "Most of the troops now be ing relieved, as well as those previously relieved arrived on tine border long af ter the Oregon cavalry and field ar tillery went into camp on the inter national boundary. "But they have been in large camps wnere considerable rorces were left be hind when they were returned home. while relief of the Oregon and Wash ington troops evidently is- regarded as impracticable for the reason that the force at Calexico would be smaller than the Mexican garrison at Mexican if the Oregon and Washington men should be sent home. "Furthermore, the troops at Calexico are in the western department rather than under General Funston in the southern department, and consequently would not be withdrawn until the local military authorities In the Southern California border district indicated that withdrawal could be made with safety the public mind as to the exact charac ter and significance of the nominations of Dr. Grayson and other officers of naval staff corps. No staff officer has the actual rank of Rear-Admiral or any other military rank. Should Dr. Grayson be promoted to be a medical director with the rank of -admiral. It would not be proper to address him as "Admiral. The mill tary rank merely determines where his place shall be in order of precedence among other naval officers, line as well as staff, the insignia he may wear on his uniform and the pay he receives. His proper title of address will be Medical Director. Dr. Grayson was not nominated by the President to be a Rear-Admiral in the Navy, but to be a medical director with the rank of Rear-Admiral. He would not take precedence aboard ship BOGUS COINS ARE FOUND SECRET SERVICE UNEARTHS COCN- TERF1ET DOLLARS IN SEATTLE.

Belief that the Supreme Court, if it should declare the Adamson eight-hour law unconstitu tional, would And it necessary also to declare unconstitutional similar legis lation, such as the 16-hour law for railroad men and the 13-hour law for towboat employes, was expressed in an address here today by Representative Adamson, of Virginia, father of the Adamson bill. "If the bill regulating the Interstate shipment of goods in violation, of the child labor law is constitutional, then there will be nothing to prevent Con gress from enacting a law to prevent Interstate shipment of goods by men who have been forced to wo-k more than eight hours," he continued.

Court Ot Conciliation Is One Remedy Suggested by Rev. Thomas Jenkins, at St. David's Church. A fierce arraignment of the divorce laws and a few remedies were included in a sermon by Rev. Thomas Jenkins at St. Davids Episcopal Church last night. The sermon last night was a sequel to the one delivered last Sunday on "Mar riage and Divorce." In answering the self-imposed ques tion, "How can the divorce evil be cured?" Rev. Mr. Jenkins suggested that "Christianity stand on Christian law," that a strict adherence to Chris tian doctrine would create a moral in fluence that would cut In half the num ber of divorces, and that the grounds on which divorces are granted should be narrowed. He also suggested that a court of con ciliation might be established where complainants might be given a "pre liminary interview." "The ideals in married life must be ennobled," he said. "The boys and girls must get education for home-making. They get their ideals of marriage from the movie, which has a yellow streak running through it either too much glamor or too much gloom. "The parents are largely to blame for the conditions that exist. They in dulse their children and get them Into the habit of thinking that married life as they have lived It Is not quite the proper thing. Rev. Mr. Jenkins said "every child is entitled to two parents" and that civil laws, "worse than pagan doctrines." made outcasts of many children. He asserted that the polygamy of the Utah Mormon was Christian In comparison with a condttion that allowed a man or woman to have one mate after another. hundred persons in Turn Hall. Fourth and Yamhill streets. Do not get a false impression that I am trying to tell you that all we have to do to be happy and successful is to go away to an island," said Mr. Ron ald, "but I do say that given good en vironment, man will have a chance te be happy. Pitcairn was founded - on discontent. Those who are intellectu ally dissatisfied are bound to progress. Science would never have gotten any where had we always been content to believe and do just as our grandfath ers did. "Pitcairn is situated." explained Mr. Ronald, "in latitude 25 degrees 3 min utes and 50 seconds South and in longi tude 130 degrees 18 minutes and 30 sec onds West. 1500 miles from the Equator and 3000 miles from Chile. It was dis covered 150 years ago. Its fame came from the fact that it was settled by men who were mutineers from the Brit ish ship Bounty. "On a voyage from Tahiti to Jamaica, the ship's captain, William Bligh, be came so tyrannical that his men re volted, forced the officer and 18 of his men into a boat and cast them adrift. They finally arrived at the island ot Timor. Twenty-five mutineers returned to Tahiti and later nine of them escaped the vigilance of the British govern ment and sailed for Pitcatrn. led by Fletcher Christian. Six native men and 12 native women accompanied them. Thev burned the ship Bounty and set tled on the Island. Their colony was not discovered until 1808." On the island, which is visited infre quently by .ships, the people live in happiness and content and are studious and industrious, according to Mr. Ron ald, who has visited there and knows the people. Occasionally supplies are sent to the Pitcairn Islanders and recently a ship starting for that locality took dona tions from interested Portlanders. GUARDSMEN TO COME HOME (Continued From First Page.) It Is possible. If not probable, that I the Oregon and Washington troops will I be among the last to leave the border. as they must be replaced by regular troops. Whether one of the two bat talions at San Diego will be sent over I to Calexico for that purpose, or whether! the Oregon men must await arrival! of Pershing's cavalry and artillery front Mexico, is something that remains to be seen." General White is leaving shortly fori ,the border to continue as troop com mander until the Oregon men are mus tered out.

WASHINGTON ST. AT SIXTH. instead of Peace a stiffening of the resolve to fight on to victory or the bitter end, would seem to be the chief result of President Wilson's efforts to hasten the end of the war in Europe. This conclusion is reached after reading the Entente Allies' reply to President Wilson's proposal for peace negotiations, although in some quarters it may be felt that there is still a loophole for a continuance of peace discussion. Lloyd George, the British Premier, supplements the stiffness of the allies' answer by saying, in his Guildhall speech, that "the allies are still convinced that even war is better than peace at the price of Prussian domination over Europe," and that before anyone can "attempt to rebuild the temple of peace, they must see that the foundations are solid." , In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 20th, the leading article deals with the en tente allies' response to President Wilson's request to the warring powers, and in the form of quotations from statesmen and leading newspapers gives an all-sided presentation of public opinion on the subject.
