ACCUSES Army CHIEFS

Regard for Gen. Wood
Caused Animosity
RECEIVES WARNINGS
Tells of Threats That He
Would Lose Position
as an Officer

. WEST POINT. N. r. June swarm
ings that his friendship for General
Leonard Wood would cost him his COM
mission In the UnitedsStates army hav1
been received repeatedly by Lieutena13
Colonel Charles G. Ayres, according to
statement which he made public to-
day. In defending his wife. Mrs. Eliza
beth F. Ayres, from criticism by officers
Of the West Point military academy
and supporting her suit to collect $780,
900 In damages from those officers,
Lieutenant Colonel Ayres said that he
had been tried on many charges and
that he had been told many times that
a1imosity toward him had been caused
by his friendship with General Wood.
That officer himself, Colonel Ayres says,
has for many years warned him to be
careful. Ayres says tnat he regarded
General Wood as one of the ablest men
in the country and that he was one Of
the few officers who went to General
Woods camp to congratulate him when
he was promoted from colonel to brig
adler general.
The controversy at West Point first
attracted public attention at the Easter
parade OF the cadets when Lieutenant
Colonel Robert L<Howze. commandant
of the cadets, sent q sergeantstQ take
away the cadets overcoats, which they
had loaned to the girl spectators during
a shower. Officers of the academy
blamed Mrs. Ayres for some of the crit
icism Of the commandant'E action and
for some of the public notice taken of
1t. Mrs. Ayres, who then lived on the
government reservation, resented this
and she left West Point to reside in
Highland Falls, near by.

His Bold Charges

NEW YORK, June S.-Lieutenant

from long tour on duty in the Philip
pines In command OF the military
academy at West Point, made state
ment today of so radical character
that, in the opinion of other army off-
GERS. It must result Inevitably In an
other official inquiry and probably In
the court martial of Colonel Ayres
himself In his zeal TO espouse his
wife's cause, Colonel Ayres has branded
as q tissue of falsehoods the letters
sent to the war department concerning
her by Colonel H. L. Scott, superin-
tendent OF the academy, and Colonel
Robert L. Howe. commandant of the
cadets.
In characterizing tho army court
martial as "a brace game" and in In
timattng that he might as well be
tried by crocodiAes as by such mill
tary tribune, Colonel Ayres is thought
to have committed an offense, II he
was correctly reported. which the war
department cannot overlook, however
distasteful It may be to have to dis
cipline an officer OF acknowledged gall
lAntry, for indiscreet utterances grow
ing out Of . controversy OF other Of
fcers with his wife.
A dispatch from Washington says
that Colonel Ayres probably will be
court martialed. This controyersy is
the result OF the cadet overcoat" In
,cident. Colonsl How're ordered the wo-
men at West Point to remove the
coats from their Shoulders. where they
had been thrown to protect the women
from the cold during q drill Mrs.
Ayres bitterly resented this and she
