InTestigation of National Defense Act of 19 16 May Cast Light on TTn published Conditions. OREGON NEWS BUREAU. Wash.. July 26. Much trouble is in store for the general staff of the army when legislation looking toward army reoi ganization conies up. And at this time there are prospects or some trouble even before congres. reaches the matter of reorganization. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon un questionably intends to drag the gen eral staff into his fight for courtmar tial reforms. The Oregon senator already has ob tained the passage of a resolution through the senate that will cause' the general staff some annoyance. This resolution calls on the war department tor full information relating to inter pretation or execution of the provisions of section 5 of the national defense, act of June 3, 1916. General Stntt Work Outlined. This section provides that members of the general staff corps shall be con- , fined strictly to the discharge of the duties of the general nature specified for them in that section and in the or ganic act that created the corps, and they shall not be permitted to assume or engage in work of an administrative character that pertains to the estab lished bureaus or offices of the war department; and it provides also for forfeiture of pay and allowances of any officers responsible for its violation. The Chamberlain resolution is sure to bring to light an unpublished opin ion of the judge-advocate-general of the army made shortly after the enact ment of the legislation and construing the law in a manner that was regarded by the secretary of war as excessive, in that it placed restrictions upon the general staff administrative functions to an extent within the terms of the law. Medals Also to Be Investigated. It will be shown that upon the re jection of this opinion Secretary of War Baker issued instructions which went to the other extreme. This latter ) pinion has aroused some indignation. The purpose of Senator Chamberlain's resolution is to fix the responsibility for it. Another resolution introduced b Sen ator Chamberlain calls on the war de partment for the results of the con ferences of a board convened in ac cordance with a section of the national defense act for the purpose of investi gating and reporting upon past awards or issues of congressional medals of honor. The board, headed by Lieutenant Genera 1 Nelson A. Miles, retired, was directed by the law to ascertain what medals had been issued not in accord ance with law and to require return to the war department for cancellation such medals as had been issued irregu larly. ' For some reason the report was sup pressed by the war department. Thomas E. Armstrong of Gaston, has returned from nine months' service overseas with the tank corps of the army, and is visiting with his family here. His wife, who has had a position with a seed firm in Portland, is with him at the family home. Mr. Armstrong formerly operated the farm tractor on the 800-acre Wapato lake tract owned by ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, of Washington. He says, though he did not get into any of the fighting, he would not have missed the experience for anything in the world. He is almost the last of the town boys to return. One other. Leo Denbo, has not yet returned, though word has been received that he is on the way. TEXAS MOTHER GIVES ALL LIVESTOCK MORTGAGED TO BUY TICKET TO SOX'S BEDSIDE. Soldier Boy's Call Brings Impover ished Parent to Hospital With IIome-Made Bread. NEW YORK, July 26. Mrs. William Hammond of Gorman, Tex., mother of 11 children, summoned by telegraph to the bedside of her critically ill soldier son, Ruel R. Hammond, 22 years of age, arrived at St. Mary's hospital in Ho boken today. She mortgaged two horses and a cow to raise the money to get here, and said she was paying 10 per cent interest on the loan, "which Ruel will help pay off when he gets well." Warned of the high cost of living in New York, Mrs. Hammond brought with her a large bag of home-made Texas bread, which she hoped would last until her return to Gorman. Nurses and friends at the hospital raised a fund to supply the impoverished but happy mother with shoes, a hat and a new dress, and when she was ushered into the sick ward to see her boy he smiled wanly and, after embracing and kissing the white-haired woman, re. marked: "Well, mom, they can put you in fine city clothes, but they can't take the Texas walk out of your feet." Young Hammond, who is the eldest of the family, and' a younger brother volunteered for service at the outbreak of the war. He saw active service in France and his brother, a sailor, is a member of the crew of the army trans port Powhatan. Mrs. Hammond said she had written to Secretary Daniels asking that be be honorably discharged, "now that the ar mistice had been signed, so that he can help us run the farm."
