THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, "MONDAY'-JANUARY 13, 1919. REPRESENTATIVE M'ARTHUR UNABLE TO GET RELEASES Oregon Lawmaker Besieged With Letters Asking Him to Inter cede for Soldiers and Sailors. INTERFERENCE NOT DESIRED Attitude of War and Navy De partments Indicates Congres sional Intervention Resented. Washington. Jan. 13. -(WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) In common with other members of con gress. Representative McArthur is re ceiving many letters requesting: him to Secure the release of soldiers or Bailors, and he has Issued a statement explain ing the futility of trying to secure auch action at Washington. m. Many such requests coming to him appear meritorious, he says, and he would be glad to present such matters If any result could be secured. 'Under the rules laid down by both the war and' navy departments," says Mr. McArthur, "It is quite apparent that congressional Interference is not desired, and, in fact, I have observed that where efforts are made to exert such influ ence, the results "are sometimes disas trous to the men who desire to secure release. Tribunal aIs Favored "I feel that there should be some 'tribunal whereby an appeal might be taken by a soldier or sailor in case of an adverse decision by his commanding officer,, but, unfortunately, I am not empowered with authority to lay down , the policies of the war and navy de partments. 4 The rules are that cases will be con .Idred .only upon recommendation of .Immediate commanding officers. This rule may seem harsh and unjust, but if it wre otherwise the service in both , the army and navy would soon become badly demoralized. "The war department advises me that enlisted men may be discharged upon ickness or other distress in the sel ler's family, or where he is heeded to r.anma mnn nvmnr in An inn l.Trv or occupation in which there is urgent need .of his services.; provided such discharge will not disrupt or cripple the military organization to which he is attached. Regulars Mast Serre "This regulation applies to all sol- dters who enlisted or who were inducted Into the service since April 1, 1917. Men who enlisted in. the regular army prior ig inac luiio must, nervo uul uioir luii enlistments. "The bureau of navigation of the navy - department has authorized all command . ants and commanding officers to release irom active service, ana. aiecnarge irom their enlistments. 20 per cent of the naval reservists and enlisted men of the Tegular navy, who enlisted for the dura tion of the war, and also 10 per cent VI men niiu ciimoicu ill ilia , ruini navy for four years between the declara tion of war (April 6, 1917) and January ill; 1918. Commanding officers have full authority to make these discharges with out referring them to the bureau for approval.

(WASHIXG- PITP r i TT -c tup inimvil.l The I Oregon delegation in the house of rep resentatives stands mute when jasked to state, severally or collectively, its choice for speaker of the next house. While this delegation consists of only three members it can safely be stated that it has been doing a lot of thinking on this subject. Speakerships have been decided by less than three votes in times past, and may be this time. Neither of the avowed candidates, James R. Mann of Illinois and Frederick H. Glllett of Masschusetts, has an assured majority. The Oregon members want to agree if they can. They were supposed to be on the point of holding a meeting, which they refuse to call a caucus, to talk it over, when the wife of Representative McArthur became sick, and he was for some time detained at home by her seri ous Illness. Now the Oregonlans seem to be in no hurry to meet. Doubtful Members Woed The doubtful members are being in dustriously wooed by the candidates and their friends. Mann Is shaking hands In countrytown style, and his friends are hinting that the band wagon is open for only a few more recruits before they begin to cut the pie. Glllett is not less active,, and, his friends say that he Is gaining, because of the conviction that Mann cannot make it. Outside of these are a few, who in the end may be found - more sagacious, who say that neither Mann nor Glllett will win and that the wise course is to stay unpledged, ready to acclaim the banner of a dark horse winner. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the congressional committee, is being carefully groomed. Therein lies the secret of Mr. Fess' recent appeals to his fellow members to keep cool and allow nothing to dis turb the harmony of their meditations. It appears certain that the Oregon members cannot agree on Mann, and there ur doubt thafthey can agree on Glllett. Attacks on Mann in Republican newspapers recently have been numer ous, with liberal quotations from Mann's utterances prior to the time the United States entered the war. Statements he made following the sinking of the Lusi tnaia, that this was not a cause for war, and, later on, that he feared a war with England more than one with Germany, have been used with telling effect and many members are saying that the party cannot afford ,to make him speaker. Progressive Oppose Mann Mann is also remembered in a du bious way by the progressive wing of the party because of his adherence to reactionary policies. His elevation to the speakership would hold out no prom ise to the liberals. Gillett's record has not been scrutinized so closely, for, despite his long service, he has only been a national figure for one or two years. When he is checked up, it prob ably will be found that he has voted about as Mann has voted. This is what gives strength to- the movement for discarding both of them and selecting a newer member, who will be less under the suspicion of the pro gressives of the country and whose re .cent record in the war period will not be open to serious attack.
