COLONEL CLAIMS
HE WAS PROSECUTED
COmulnndant of Preside. Receiving
Orders for Retirement, says His
Enemies Have Got Him.


San Francisco, Calf, Jan. 12.-That
his enemies had finally overpoWered
him was the comment Of Col. W. H. c.
Bowen, commander Of the 18th in
fantry and commandant Of the Presid-
10 Of San Francisco, when orders for
his retirement reached him from
Washington. Col Bowen and his reg
iment were ordered here a month ago
from Monterey.
Ct incurred the enmity Of men Of
high rank in 1904" Col Bowen said,
when I criticized a department plan
relating to army promotions I have
known ever since that there was bitter
personal feeling against me. And in
the last two years particularly things
have been done to make me uncomfort-
able"
Col. Bowen detailed what he holds
to be a systematic persecution ex-
tending over ten years and including
two court martia1s. Before the sec
ond one, he said, he was offered the
privilege Of retiring and refused it.
Both trials resulted in acquittals.
With my retirement" he added,
they are able to get rid of a man
who once had the temerity to speak
his mind and is therefore personally
objectionable, and they are able to
bring promotion to some of their
friends"

nearing actual exhaustion may find
cheer in the thought that little more
than quarter "f the available agricul-

Supply inevitably meets demand. and
as the demand for agricultural products
increases the supply will be enlarged
