GENERAL STEINER PASSES

Washington, December 19.-(SpeciaL) When it is realized that general officers of the army were called to Washing ton in order that their ranks might be weeded out, the success scored by Gen. Robert E. Steiner of Montgomery, in command of Alabama. Florida and Geor- gia troops at Macon, cannot but be pleasing to his friends.
 So strenuous is the service in France that the war department, possibly ad- vised by General Pershing, concluded to send none abroad save the most vigor- ous Especial attention was given to those general officers who had reached Ia certain age. A special examining board, headed by Dr. Charles Mayo, was instituted. The general officer who passed that board was in every Physical respect all right
 General Steiner, it was learned, in ad- dition to other rigorous tests, was com boiled to stand on one foot, and jump lO0 times into the air, each jump to be at least F inches. As soon as he had completed his hundredth jump, he was stretched on a cot, and his temperature and heart action tested It is said that following this exercise Dr. Mayo said:
 General. if there is a perfect physical specimen in the United States, you are he.''
 The report on the examinations has not heen made public, but it is understood that the ranks will be considerably weeded when the truth is known. The war department has already paved the way by explaining that any officer found unable to stand the test was not to be judged in any respect unworthy.

DENT FAvORs FILIpINos

Washington, December 19.-(Special.)
 Filipinos are anxious to fight Germany,
 and Representative Dent of Alabama.
 chairman of the House committee on
 military affairs, is anxious that their
 wish be granted. To that end, he has
 introduced a bill drafting Philippine
 scouts into the army of the United
 States on the same basis that state
 militias were drafted.
 Gen. T. l.. Hartigan, chief of the Philippines militia, in Washington at present, advised that the Filipinos be permitted to organize under the United States government and remain on the islands for the purpose of repelling any possible attack. Any number, accord ing to the general, can be organized, and they are loyal because of the fine man. ner in which the United States has dealt with them.
 So satisfied are the natives the gen. eral told Mir. Dent, that they are not clamoring for independence. They are wiling that this government continue it's
 supervision. The general stated further in the explanation of the restful condi- tions obtaining under American rule, that whereas England, France and Nor way maintain troops for the protection | of their interests, the United States on the islands has scarcely a corporals guard.

MELyIN's WORDS RECALLED

, Washington, December 19.--(Special) The death of a bill in the House today recalled the death of the first naval of ficer under the Stars and Stripes since i the United States took up arms against the Hohenzollerns.
 The bill provided that Lieut.. John T.. Melvin of Selma be given the rank in the navy that he would have had but for break in his service. The bill was in troduced by Senator Underwood at the instance of Representative Blackmon, and had been put through the Senate.

 T knew Lieutenant Melvin person. ally" said MT. Blackmon tonight. And. incidentally, hls last utterance contained in a letter to his parents was as fine as ever fell from American lips. The young man wrote: Thank God, I am among the first on the scene" 'Lawrence -id: Don't give up the ship Perry, We have met the enemy
 and they are ours and John Paul Jones. when his own vessel was sink ing, We have just begun to fight Mel vin's expression, taken in connection with his tragic end, was a noble as any of those we have preserved for future ages.

 The position of the administration was announced to a delegation from Decatur which urged the secretary to release $65,000 which Congress had appropriated for the construction of a postoffice in that city. Yesterday afternoon the secretary took the re- quest of the delegation under advis~~ ment. This afternoon he made positive answer as set out above
 Our country" said the secretary "is at war. It cannot be foretold just how long the war will last, or to what extremeties this country will be forced to go in order to win the war. At any rate, it is deemed advisable to ex- pend no money on projects which have no connectioh either with preparations for continuous fighting or with the manufacture of essentials of war,
 The Decatur delegation was com posed of W. E. Crawford and T. NJ. Jones.
