WASHINGTON, June 19. 'Appoint
ment of Major-General John- A. Le-,

of the marine corps, to succeed Major-
General George Barnett, was an
nounced today by Secretary Daniels.
General Lejeune commanded the fa
mous 2d division when it broke the
German line in the Meuse-Argonne,
and the secretary said his appoint
ment to command the marine corps
was in line with the policy of the
department to reward officers who
served with distinction during the
war. General Lejeune will take
charge of the corps next week.
Mr. Ianiels said General Lejeune
was regarded as not only one of the
ablest officers of the world war, but
one of the most distinguished sol
diers of the world war. He commanded
the 2d division not only in the Meuse
Argonne offensive, but also at St.
Mihiel and Mont Blanc ridge.
The change, the secretary declared.
is In no way a reflection upon Gen
eral Barnett, who he declared is an
able officer and has served with distinction.

to the sheriff's office Thursday for
hearing as to his sanity, but nothing
was discovered which warranted the
officers in holding him. His boat was
brought inside the bar, it being too
rough to allow small craft to leave
the harbor. So far as could be
learned, he made no attempt to "start
today. Nothing had been seen of him
at the lighthouse.
Torsensen said that the cruise had
some element of hazard, but not as
much as might be supposed. He ar
gued that he had completed the hard
est part of the journey in coming
through the straits, and as far as
W estport. With favorable weather,
he could reach his destination in a
few days.
