ADMIRAL BARTON STILL CHIEF
OPINION BY ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL WICHERsHAM.
Uncertainty Settled Regarding the
Head of the Bureau of Steam
Engineering in the Navy.

Rear Admiral John n Barton, U.S.N.,
retired, is still chief of the bureau of
steam engineering of the Navy Depart
ment. At least, Attorney General Wick
ersham. to whom the question was re-
ferred by Secretary Meyer. has given
an opinion to that effect. His views on
the subject sustain those previously ex-
pressed by Capt. Campbell. judge ad-
vocate general Of the navy. The opinion
of the Attorney General tends to fur
ther complicate situation that has al
ready caused considerable embarrass-
ment to the Secretary Of the Navy in the
plans for the reorganization of the naval
establishment on the lines laid down by
his predecessor, Mr.. Newberry.
Admiral Barton Retired.
Several months ago Rear Admiral Bar
ton was stricken down with an attack
Of paralysis while holding the office of
chief of steam engineering. A medical
examination resulted in his being trans
ferred to the retired list on account of
disability. About that time Mr.. New
berry inaugurated his plan of reorganiza-
tion. On the theory that Admiral Bar
office. Admiral Capps, chief OF the bureau
of construction and repair. was desig-
mated as acting chief Of the bureau of
steam engineering. The scheme of re-
organization contemplated the merging of
those two bureaus into one. 1t subse-
quently developed that there was con
siderable opposition In Congress to that
plan. Consequently the idea Of con-
solidation was temporarily abandoned,
and Secretary Meyer ordered Lieut.. Com
mander Hutch !. Cone to this city with
view to his appointment as chief of the
bureau OF steam engineering.
Admiral Barton Reports.
While the appointment of that officer
was under consideration Rear Admiral
Barton, who. in the meantime, had re-
covered his health, reported to Secretary
Meyer that he was able and ready to
resume the duties of engineer-in-chief.
About year ago Admiral Barton was
appointed chief Of the bureau of steam
engineering for term Of four years, and
the Senate confirmed his appointment In
his behalf the claim was maze that as
he had not resigned nor been removed he
was still chief of the bureau. under his
commission. despite the fact of his trans
fer to the retired list. Inasmuch as
the chiefs of two other bureaus of the
Navy Department are retired officers, it
was tacitly admitted that retirement in
itself could not be considered a bar to
bureau service in the case Of Admiral
Barton.
The Attorney General andthe judge advo-
cate general Of the navy each having sus-
tained that view of the case, it appears
that Admiral Barton may relieve Chief
Naval Constructor Capps Of further
charge Of the bureau Of steam engineer
ing, and that the proposed appointment
OF Commander Cone may have to be in
definitely postponed. 1t is contended that
under existing conditions Admiral Bar
ton cannot be removed from his bureau
office except for cause.

CHICAGO. May 5.-Four maxims as

whose gigantic forgeries, covering a pc
riod OF twenty years. were unfolded last
week. Van Vlissingen is serving a SEN

trying to straighten 'out his books for his
creditors. Some Of the maxims are:
BE honest In small things"
DO not permit your conscience to be-
come calloused."
BE economical and never risk other
peoples money, no matter how certain
success may SEEM"
"Once you commit q wrong make res

forgery was for $500 clerk discover

eign nations shall be secured in exactly
the same manner as its domestic peace Is
secured, namely. by referring all contro-
yersies to the courts for settlement.
Nations Are Two-Faced.
Mr.. Bartholdt took the position that ma
tions are two-faced and their attitude
so shockingly inconsistent as to be unten-
able before the forum of either reason or
morality He maintained that govern
ments did not regard the obligation to
keep the peace imposed on the citizen
by the nation as binding upon the nation
itself, and that by praising battleships
as implements Of peace they actually re-
pudiated their own civil institutions,
"Peace between individuals is to be main
tanned by Jaw; peace between nations by
force" The result of those contrad c.
tions WRs. he declared. that the nation s
peace, which our civilization safeguards
as the most priceless boon at home, Is a
foreign affairs made a mere toy play,
thing in the hands of governments and
rulers to be either cherished or broken at
their arbitrary will"
Pointing out other inconsistencies,
Mr.. Barthoidt argued that In information
al disputes each government presumed to
be the judge of its own case, and upon Its
decision, whether right or wrong. depend
ed the happiness and lives of thousands
of it's citizens. How long" he asked,
| will the worlds sense o. justice suffer
governments to apply one code of ethics
to their home affairs and another one to
their foreign relations?"
International Peace.
After stating that the worlds progress
in the direction of international peace
during the past Ave years, though not
visible to the eye, had been great. Mr..
Bartholdt said in conclusion:
"The world is slowly but surely rally
ing around the banners of peace. 1t
erayitates In an ascending line to the
higher plane of one common brotherhood,
whence the shedding of human blood for
the sake Of trade or any other purpose
is regarded as a relic Of barbarism, and
where the three watchwords of new
world organization will be humanity. JUS

Mr.. Ballinger spoke in part as follows:
''The hope for universal peace is hardly
utopian; under possible conditions it is
eminently practicable. Hence. to learn
these possible conditions and how to es-
tablish them is the purpose for which our
conference is held and your efforts so
earnestly put forth.
again, If your work is to have it's just
reward the ancient ideals and estimates
of men must be changed; they must not
be martial: they must arise out Of the
victories of peace.
Now and then there breaks forth a
great confiagration which the agencies of
men seem powerless to arrest, and which
only dies out after consuming everything
combustible IN its pathway; so 1t seems
to have been with the passions Of men,
that they at times become so inflamed
that they are quenched only by exhaus-
ton through war.

When future hopes seem all in vain.
Try and keep your conscience clean.
Some day the golden sun will beam
Upon the spot so long unseen.
When your friends deceive their

When exquisite thought declines to

Content your mind as you think best
And give your heart a chance to rest.
Some day the spot so long unseen
Will glimmer with an amazing scene.
