CHRISTIAN Bee MES
ADJUTANT GENERAL
Of Florida By Appointment
ii Governor Cats.

According to private advices re-
ceived by the Florida Times Union,
Gov. Cats on Wednesday appointed
J. B. Christian of Tallahassee to be
adjutant general of Florida to sue
ceed Gen. J. Clifford r. Foster of St..
Augustine, who has held the office
since 1901, and who was the democrat
isc nominee for the office in the late
primary.
The new appointee, Mr.. J. B. Chris
tian, has lived in Tallahassee some
four or five years and is watch
maker and jeweler. He formerly liv-
ed in Alabama, and it is reported that
he was a classmate of Gov. Cats in
that State. Whether or not Mr..
Christian has had military training,
is not known, certainly it was not in
Florida, if at all. If he has had no
military training in this State, it is
very doubtful if he is eligible to the of
flee. The general statutes of Florida
provide (Sec. 672) that
"No person shall be appointed as
chief officer of any staff. corps, or de-
partment who has not held commits
sion in the army or navy of the United
States, the Confederate States, or in
the organized militia Of this State for
at least two years."
But in the absence of specific infor-
nation concerning Mr.. Christian, it is
we'll to defer to Gov. Cats. who has
more light on the subject. If he is ell
igible the appointment will stick, if
not. he'll be pried loose.
The News cannot accept the doc
trine held by the majority of the State
papers, that Gov. Cats was in duty
bound to reappoint Gen. Foster. True
the general was the democratic nomi-
nee, but by action of the State Can
vassing Board and the official action
Of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, the latter representing or
raniZed democracy in this State, NJ
Cats was not the democratic nominee
Re was an independent candidate 'ro
" such was elected governo" of Flor
ida. True. he was elected largely by
democratic voters, but that fact did
rot make him the democratic candl
date, nor did it make him amenable
to rarity law or precedent.
Gen. Foster. as we have said, is 8
democrat, and as such he had nc
claim to the office Neither had he
any reason to EXPECT reappointment
at the hands of Gov Cats.

ARNYS CASTE SYSTEM
VIGOROUSLY ATTACKED
By Major HarlIee Before a
Senate Subcommittee.

Major William C. Harllee of the
United States Marine Corps, and vice
president of the National Rifle Asso-
Citations of America appeared before
the Senate subcommittee holding
hearings on compulsory military
training in Washington on Monday,
and introduced a new element in the
controversy over compulsory military
training by declaring fiat that it was
quite unnecessary to scrap the vol
unteer system, inasmuch as it could
easily be modified to bring it more
closely in touch with American tradi-
tions. He said in part:
q have no patience with those pre-
paredness' advocates who insist the
voluntary system has broken down.
What has broken down is not the vol
unteer system, but certain out-of-date
and antiquated features of our army
establishment.
"My contact with civilians, whom l
met by the thousand in the rifle asso-
citation work and elsewhere, has con-
WINGED me that Americans have the
fighting tradition and will gladly train
themselves for national defense, if
they can do it under self-respecting
conditions. Rightly or wrongly, they
believe that they cannot do it with
self-respect and join the regular ar
my. The thing to do is not to scrap
the volunteer system and introduce
compulsory system which is alien to
our traditions. The thing to do is to
overhaul our defense establishment
and scrap those features Of it which
Americans have learned to resent.
"The chief feature they have learn
ed to resent is the caste system, which
still prevails in our military estab-
lishment. There is no use denying
the fact it is there, not only as a
social fact, but buttressed by law, as
well. The caste system, for example,
dictates that the enlisted man, who
stays in the lower ranks until he has
passed the age Of 27, is doomed to
remain in it. He is forbidden by
law to associate with his superiors,
no matter how brave and sliillful he
may be. He cannot by a life of eff
fort approach the inexperienced
yOungSIef appointed 10 q commission.
The relationship between officers and
men is made thoroughly artificial and
un-American. 1t ought to be abolish
ed
"Our present military institution,
with its two castles transplanted from
England and patterned, also, after the
armies of Prussia before the days of
the French revolution, does not fit this
country That is the whole trouble.
If we used in our military establish
ment, the courage and initiative, which
we use in our industrial progress, we
would eliminate the features Of our
military establishment which Ameri-
can citizens do not like. and we would
speedily have all the trained men that
we need"
Major Harlee is q native Of Manitee
county. Florida, and is well-known in
the State, especially in Jacksonville.
Al the national and state rife matches
at the State Camp Major Harllee serv-
Cd IS ssristant executive officer, and
is regarded as one Of the country's
LEADING authorities on small arms

AMERICANS MUST
FEED FRENCH ARMY

Washington. Oct. 25,-France faces
very serious food shortage in the
near future unless America comes to
the rescue with shiploads OF wheat i'm
mediately, French officials declared
here today.
The American government, the
Food Administration points out, did
its share in answering this call by
reauisitioning, October 18th. all Amer
lean steamships of $500 tons or over.
The Food Administration feels 1t is
now up to the 22.000000 housewives
of America to fill some OF these ships
with wheat by using pound less
wheat flour per week for every mem
ber of their households.
"The situation in France is worse
than had been thought" said Il Food
Administration official today. we
should not wait for Food Pledge
Week, Oct 2s to Nov. 4 to begin this
saving. We should begin now.
France certainly needs wheat. at
once. We hundred million Americans
must make up from our short supply
the wheat shortage OF France and our
other Allies. There is a call for every
one of us to do his utmost.
Wheat. however, is only part o'
the problem It is equally vital that
We conserve also meat, fats and
sugar. II each OF us will eat an
ounce less meat, a quarter ounce less
fat and an ounce less sugar day
our Allies won't 10 hungry

1--WE must make up this shortage
No other country can do It,"
The situation in France today, &C
cording to figures given out at the Of
flee OF French High Commissioner
Henri Tardieu, is this:
Normally, France produces 100000
600 hundredwe of wheat This
year the production will not be more
than $4,000 900 hundredweight. This
shrinkage was caused by the transfer
of 100000 men and women into
military and industrial war work.
Fighting back the Germans, France
has had little time for growing crops.
"As for the shipping, it has gone
the same way AT the beginning of
the war France had 100000 tons of
merchant bottoms. Five hundred
thousand tons Of that has been sunk
by submarines. 1t has not been re-
placed and there is no ship-building
under way in France today because
all the shipyards have for three years
been turned into munitions factories"
