ON DR.. GRAYSON'S
PROMOTION LIKELY
Presidents Physician Advanced
400 Numbers, Protests Army
and Navy Journal.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The
Army and Navy Journal, official or
gan for the service news. bitterly at
tackled the promotion OF Lieut.. Com
mander Cary T. Grayson, President
Wilson's personal friend and physi-
clan. to be a Rear Admiral, in to-
days issue.
The Journal says the appointment
is direct result of the substitution
OF the So called merit system for the
seniority system of appointments un-
der the Wilson Daniels regime.
In discussing the problem OF Sc
lection" says the Journal. "the Sec
retary OF the Navy made some sooth-
Ing remarks anent the fear that per-
sonal or political influences might be-
come factors In the selection. The
comment on the gratifying assur-
ances given by Secretary Daniels is
found In the announcement OF the
Grayson promotion.
Passed Assistant Surgeon Grayson
was passed over the heads of ten of
his own rank and Of all the IS sur
geons and all the II medical directors.
He leaves behind. besides these and
is medical inspectors. 1877 officers Of
his own corps. All are his seniors In
rank and service.
His promotion will be received
with unanimous disfavor. not only be =
cause Of what It accompiishes, but
still more because OF what It threatens.
The promotion OF DR.. Grayson is
equal to promotion Of about 400
numbers in the line, so far as rank
and pay are concerned.
Admiral George Dewey received
but four numbers Of promotion for
winning the battle Of Manila Bay, and
later. when by special act OF Congress
he was made a full admiral. a jump
OF six more numbers"
Senatorial opposition TO the promo :
ton Of Grayson. Is not merely alon z
party lines. Many Democratic men,
bers are known to oppose It.

Commander to Rear Admiral"
Senator Smoot. Republican. Utah,

has rendered no conspicuous service
that would Justify jumping him over

Effect on Farmers of Present
High Prices.

Senator elect william N. Calder was
the principal speaker at non -parti-
san discussion at the Republican Club
this afternoon on How Can the High
Cost OF Food BE Reduced Mr..
Calder said:
"One OF the principal causes of the
high cost OF food Is the failure OF the
1915 crop all over the world. 1t Is
thirty per cent. short OF normal and
prices could not but be high. Is II
not possible that the result OF the
high prices has been to effect In the
minds Of farmers a belief that II is
not bad idea TO have crops short OF
normalf"
Mr.. Calder pleaded for better sys-
TEN of marketing to decrease the
farmers losses on full production.
borough President Marcus M
Marks advocated terminal markets
and blamed extravagant retail meth
DDS, unnecessary costs OF wholesalina
and lack OF cooperation by farmers
producing food for existing higf
