Lieut.. Col. Charles E. Ayres,
Fourteenth Cavalry, has been placed
on the retired list of the army from
this date on the finding Of 9 retiring
board that he is incapacitated FOR
active service on account Of dissbili-
ty incident to the service.
This action was the indirect result
Of the reported interview, in which
Col. Ayres was reported to have crit
icised the methods Of administering
justice as an outcome of q difficulty
which Mrs. Ayres had had with the
authorities at the Military Academy.
Lieut.. Col. Ayres was asked by the
department whether he had made the
statements contained in the interview,
question he declined to answer.
Those who had been at work on his
case for some time developed the
fact that he had before been examin-
cd by a medical board as TO fitness
for active military service. There
upon it was resolved by the depart
ment authorities to have another ex-
animation Of this character made be-
fore proceeding legally against Lieut..
Col. Ayres and the board appointed,
in accordance with this decision, have
found that he was incapacitated FOR
duty. Under the regulations the on
ly course open was to order his re-
tirement, which the President has
done.

CAUSES KICKS
DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF BE-
ING FORCED TO REGISTER.
SALARIES IN THE PHILIPPINES
Chief Of Bureau Of 1nsulaY AGairs
Says There ts No Juggling Of HAl-
aries rs Stated BY Mr. Dixan.

WRshington.-The new citizenship
law which recently went into effect
requiring naturahzed Americans liv-
ing abroad to register at American
consulates unless they prefer to lose
their citizenship is causing consider
able complaint from sections where it
is not well understood. 1t was franz
Cd by the Department Of State to re-
lieve many embarassments caused by
German subjects coming to this
country to escape military duty, and
returning home after taking out
their first citizenship papers or after
taking the oath of allegiance to the
United States. In its efforts to save
this class of Americans from enforced
military service in the Kaiser's ar
my the State Department frequent
ly has been embarrassed. The rev
law will correct this evil.
In Canada and elsewhere the law is
being criticised. and a movement is
on foot to bring a case to test its
constitutionality. The greater num-
Der Of protests are coming from Sec
ton Of Canada as wide as the dis
tance from Chicago to New Orleans,
where there are but three or four
consulates, and the Americans refuse
to travel so far to register. 1t should
be remembered, however, that native
born Americans are not required to
register unless they wish to do 90.
