ARMT REORGAXIZATIOX LEGIS
LATION PROMISES TROUBLE.
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to bring to light an unpublished opin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."
SHIPYARD MEET ADJOURNS
REPORT FROM SAX FRANCISCO
DIFFERS FROM LOCAL NEWS.
Conference Suspends Until Missing
Delegates Are Secured to
Settle Wage Points.
SAN FRAKCLSCO. July 26. Shipyard
owners of Portland and Los Angeles
have not yet taken any formal part in
the conference here between coast em
ployers and metal craftsmen to formu
late a new worklnz agreement.
Xonparttclpatlon of these points has
somewhat delayed negotiations, John
O'Connell. chairman of the metal crafts
committee said, and had caused with
drawal from the conference of labor
representatives from Portland and Los
Angeles. A coast-wide agreement is
the aim of the conference, O'Connell
declared.
Port'and shipyard owners were rep
resented at the corference by C. E.
Bowles, who returned to Portland Fri
day night from San Francisco. Mr.
Bowles said last night that the confer
ence was adjourned until August 4 to
give Los Angeles shipyard owners, who
had not been represented, an oppor
tunity to send a delegate to the conference.
The principal cause of contention at
the conference. according to Mr.
Bowles, was a demand on the part of
the labor representatives that the same
conditions be signed by all coast yards.
while the owners wished to have the
matter arranged by districts.
