NOSE CLOGGED FROM A COLD OR CATARRH J Apply Cream in Nostril To I Onen Tin Air Faiiurca. ! ARE RETIRED AT 64YEARS0FAGE WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. OP) By the coincidence of their birth on the same day 64 years ago, two major generals,' both with long military car eers, crowned by conspicuous service with tbe American army in the World war, passed from active ser vice today under the axe retirement law. War department records show that Major-General Robert L. Billiard, commanding lie second corps srea at Governor's Island, and Major-General Charlea G. Morton, commanding the ninth corps area at Snn Francisc, were born Janualy 15, 18G1. The pas sage of 46 years since General Mor ton entered the military academv from .Massachusetts m July, 1870, gives him a service record just two years longer than tbat of-his comrade from Alabama, who put on the cadet uniform in July, 1881. Letters praising the years of con spiri'ius service by both officers were handed them by Secretary Weeks on turn'ng over their commands to ap pointed successors. His letter to Gen eral Bullard, the war aecretary re called that it was ie who led the first American division to enter the front line of battle in France, the first to fire on German forces, the first to take a German prisoner and the first to pierce the hostile positions in the bt-ttlc "f Cantigny the first Amer ican offensive of the war. The achieve ments of General Morton as com mander of tbe 29th division and dur ing his detail as military observer for tbe American forces in France were tecounted in praiseworthy fashion by Sn-retnry Weeks In his letter to the ninth corps commander.
