day Col. Roosevelt made the following

time 1 will answer any questions that
any reputable person wishes to ask me
about my trip"

address the society upon his return. His
desire to carry out this arrangement was
conveyed in a telegram from him re-
ceived by Gilbert H. Grosvenor. director
and editor Of the society, today.
This will be Col. Roosevelts first ap-
pearance in Washington since November
1S 1910 when he addressed the members
Of the National Geographic Society on
his African trip. That, also, was his first
address on his return to the United

DR.. Gleeson states that the law of Au-

missal of federal employees. with good
records as such, who are old soldiers is
criminal offense. He says that the
four Washington lawyers who have been
engaged to protect the rights of such old
soldiers In government employ are now
considering a request made by him that
the test case to be brought shall be on
the basis Of a criminal prosecution. al
though 1t Is just possible that mandamus

to enforce reinstatement may be the
method Of attack decided upon.

Prefers Criminal Prosecution.

"Mandamus proceedings, however. are
slow and complicated, and usually go
through many courts,' DIR. Gleason said,
land for that reason 1 prefer the Grim
inal prosecution method of attack. The
law is clear, as any one may see who
takes the trouble to read it,
It developed today that in addition to
the question of propriery that has come
up as to the seventeen or eighteen men,
engaged in Washington city post office
work, whose designations have been
asked for on the ground of efficiency.
there is another case in the Navy De-
partment over which the officials OF the
Grand Army of the Republic and the
Navy Department are at loggerheads.
This is the case of an employe in what
! is called the "blue print branch" of Navy
Department work. He Is an old soldier,
member of the G. A. r. He has re-
work and shortly thereafter was notified
that he had been "furloughed," without
pay.
This case. Dr. Gleeson said. the attor-
neys who have been engaged nave De
cided Is a good case upon which to make
a test of the law. The Secretary OF the
Navy has been informed by the G. A. h
officials that the man must be restored
to duty. and if he is not, they stated that
they would bring suit.
Reply Not Satisfactory.
The reply received from the Navy
Department was to the effect that the
Secretary of the Navy was out of the
city, and that officials of that depart
ment could say nothing definite in re-
gard to the case until he returned. al
though it was promised that the man
would be restored to duty "as soon as
possible" This promise. DR.. Gleeson
declared today, means nothing. 1t Will
not satisfy the G. A. R., he said, and
added that the reply. dated May 8. had
NOT been supplemented by any word
from the Secretary of the Navy since
that time.
ION this case we are willing to go into
court" DR.. Gleeson said. and IL can
get the post office men to stand up and
testify we will include one or two Of
their cases in any action we may take
i. is A significant fact that since l nave
taken uD this work have been receiv-
ing assurances of support from promi-
nent democrats who see the injustice of
treating old soldiers this way.
Il have asked the Postmaster Cen
eral how he cen stand for this treatment

his reply to me was that he construes the
law He does not construe the law. We
intend to have the courts construe 1t, or
rather, reaffirm it, for the benefit Of any

Wide Interest illustrated.

The broad international scope of thu
proceedings and the importance which
is attached to them by the other coun-
tries OF South and Central America was
evidenced by the arrival here yesterday
of DR.. Gonzalo S. Cordova, minister from
Ecuador to the United States. He de-
clared that he had come on instructions
from his government. He intends to in
form his government promptly by cable
of all important developments during the
conference 1t is understood that other
Latin American diplomats or their repre-
sentatives also will be on the scene to
keep in close personal touch with the
mediation work.
DIR. Cordova's announcement of the in
terest of his country In the mediation
was accepted here as an indication Of
similar interest on the part OF the other
Pan-American countries. To them the
mediation means much more than the
settlement of the problem between the
United States and Mexico. 1t was pointed
out by those in close touch with the
situation 1t was said that the general
Pan-American desire to see the mediation
a success was as great as that of tho
three big South American countries
whose good offices have been accepted.
The arrival Of the Ecuadorean minister.
therefore, was the subject of much COM
ment as to the effect the mediation pro-
ceedings would have on the future relas
tions between the United States and tho
other republics Of >the western hemis-
phere.
II was pointed out in circles close to
the mediators that the success of the
mediation could have no other effect
than to strengthen the ties between the
United States and the other Pan-Ameri-
can natiOnS.
