UP TO ARMY LAWYER

What effect the order establishing
a five-mile dry zone around military
camps will have in the District re-
mains undecided today while officials
await a ruling from Judge Advocate
General Crowder constituting the law

camp. except where the limits OF an
Incorporated town or city are within
five miles of such a camp, when the
regulations shall not apply to any

Since there are many military
camps either within the District

required for Washington. and II will
be necessary to decide whether the

Washington Barracks, and other
posts are military camps" within the
meaning OF the law.

Letter to President.
"July 20, 1917.
THE President, the White House,
Washington, D. c.,
My dear Mr.. President-I beg to
acknowledge the receipt Of your let
ter Of July 18th, and wish to express
my appreciation of the considerate
manner In which you have stated the
conclusions which you have reached.
'In the project for the Rapid En-
Urgency Construction Of Small Ships,'
dated March 20. 1917, and approved
by you on April 4th last, II was
stated that, to secure the speed OF
production, which is all important,
we feel that the task Of securing and
eQuipping these ships should be put
In the hands OF one man. Centralized
control is essential for rapid and Sf-
ncient work
Why He Acted.
at was on this understanding on my
part that undertook the work at
your request. This understanding
was subsequently confirmed. not only
when / took up the matter with the
shipping board, but at the hearings
before the subcommittee OF the Com
mittee on Appropriations OF the Uni
ted States Senate, where II was stated
that was to have absolute and
complete authority for the adminis-
tration on the constructing side: that
everything the board could do would
be done, and that IL would act on my
suggestion and initiative These as
surances were placed much moro
clearly before the members OF the
subcommittee on appropriations OF
the House Of Representatives.
Results Imperative.
1.-The necessity for shipping makes
It imperative that results be secured
as rapidly as possible. II is results,
by whomsoever obtained. which count
after all. and nothing should be al
lowed to interfere with the accom-
plishment OF this end. have endeav-
ored to establish harmonious relations
with the Shipping Board, but regret
to state have not succeeded, and It
seems impossible to secure the unison
OF purpose essential to the success Of
the work. Believing that q central
izstIon of authority in one man IL
necessary to carry out the shipouild-
ing program rapidly and successfully,
after mature consideration OF the
whole subject, ] am satisfied that
cannot secure efficient results under
the conditions OF your letter. / am
convinced, therefore. that the best in
terests OF the public welfare would
be served II were replaced by some
one on whom full authority can be cen
tered and whose personality will not
be a stumbling block. 1t is my urgent
hope that this solution will commend
itself TO you, and, in order that the
work may be delayed as little as pos
sible by a change. II you deem II wise,
! shall be glad to continue in charge
until my successor can be selected and
remain with him until he has q thor
ough knowledge OF the organization
that has been built up and Is able, 10
familiariIe himself with the work that
has already been undertaken.
You may be assured OF my loyal
