The department, he says. never was
in better shape
He says the great burden Of de-
partmental work added to the strain

ARMY CASE DECIDED
BY SUPREME COURT
Lower Court Affirmed In
Lieutenant Reaves' Suit
Against Ainsworth.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States today took hand in army af-
fairs in the course of its decision on the
suit against Maj. Gen. F. &. Ainsworth
and the Secretary Of War by Lieut.. w.
H. Reaves, of the Artillery Corps, for
retirement from the army and review of
the proceedings by which he was honor
ably discharged. The Supreme Courts
opinion was IN favor Ainsworth.
Reaves alleged that while suffering
from nervous prostration he was forced
to take examinations for promotion. and
by reason of his physical condition
failed, whereupon he was honorably dis
charged with a years salary. He hint
ed at persecution" by officers higher
up IN the service, and sued for a review
Of the proceedings by the courts, with
the contention that he should have been
retired, and not discharged. The Court
OF Appeals of the District OF Columbia
declared 1t had no Jurisdiction in the
case.
In the opinion OF the court, Justice
McKenna declared:
The allegations by Reaves are very
formidable. They appeal to the sense OF
justice. But the courts cannot do
everything. They cannot command how
the army shall be conducted. It is for
this reason that this court must affirm
the Judgment Of the lower court"

city. David determines To Keep II Sc
cret at any cost. First he visits Lillian

Miss Chambers and Mr.. Haddon there.
The latter has discovered that Morton
