monarchy as evidenced their good in
tentions toward America would not be
required to leave Washington appeared
today before John. R. Young, clerk of
the Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia. The example of these two
men will probably be followed by
others OF their countrymen in the Dis
trict. and the clerk looks for quite an
increase OF business from this source
The applicants are Anthony Zelenka,
twenty-fve years old, a meat cutter, re-

DECLARES. POWER Cause
Of DISPUTES IN NAVY
Judge Advocate General Watts
Questions Authority Of Controller
Of Treasury in Report.

Is the controller Of the Treasury more
powerful than the Attorney General. the
Secretary of the Navy or the Court OF
Claims? That question is raised by
Capt. W. C. Watts. u. S. N. Judge advo-
cate general Of the Navy, in his annual
report to the Navy Department He says
the increase in the number OF naval
questions. incidentally involving pay,
which reach the accounting officers "has
emphasized a highly unsatisfactory con-
dition from an administrative point OF
view which has existed for many years, "
involving the Jurisdiction OF such account
ing officers and other officials Of the gov
ernment.
Claims Final Opinion.
"The controller Of the Treasury" says
the Judge advocate general. asserts his
right to determine his own jurisdiction In
any case in which conflict occurs and
does not recognize as binding upon him.
in so far as concerns questions OF pay
ments, the opinions of the Attorney Cen
eral or even the Court of Claims. any
more than the decisions of the Secretary
OF the Navy. On the other hand, the At
torney General claims his own opinion
when rendered in any case. is final and
authoritative under the law, and should
be so treated by accounting officers even
If the question involves payment
Likewise the Court of Claims re-
peatedly has held it's decisions are
binding upon the accounting officers.
not only in the specific cases decided
but in like cases as well. Also the
Supreme Court has clearly stated that
the Secretary of the Navy must neces-
sariiy determine all questions pertain
ing to matters intrusted to his controi
and the approval of any officer OF an
other department Is not required 10
make his actions and decisions within
his Jurisdiction valid and conclusive.
notwithstanding that payments may
be involved.
Cause Of Suits.
"As a result Of this unfortunate sit
nation, persons IN the Navy are fre-
uuentIy required to bring suit in the
Court Of Claims for pay and allowances
10 which they are entitled by law
This procedure involves the employ
lnent of time and considerable personal
.This office has done It's utmost to
protect the interests of the personnel
in such cases, but the matter is one re-
quiring further attention in its general
aspect and probably will be the sub
ject of special report to the depart
ment from this Office in the near
future"
According to Judge Advocate Gen.
eral Watts, certain familiarity with
military law is a necessary and desira-
BILE element of the mental equipment of
every officer of the Navy for the proper
performance of all duties that may de-
yolve on him. He urges a suitable
standard in that respect be maintained
by the inclusion OF that subject in the
examination for promotion of stan Of
ficers and by greater emphasis to that
subject in the examinations for officers
of the line and Of the Marine Corps

Seeking to attain the highest

whether beer, wine or distilled liouor?
In sore need for ourselves and our

In sore need of every ton TO trans

cars and scores of ships?

American troops to the war zone. Also
he said that submarines are sinking ton

Officials Of the Government do not conceal

BILLION FOR AIRCRAFT
URGED BY EXPERTS


The tentative estimate Of $500, 900 900 to
put American aeronautics on a war footing
would be an inadequate amount Alan r.
Hawley, of New York, president Of the Aero
Club Of America. told a subcommittee Of
the House Military Affairs Committee to-
day.
"To train the large number Of avIators
and to arrange for the manufacture Of air.
craft needed will require a large admins
trative personnel and a total expenditure
of about $1,000 900 .O00," said Mr. Hawley.
The subcommittee had under consIdera-
tion a bill introduced by Representative
Hubert Of New York, providing for the
creation Of a department Of aeronautics, TO
be presided over by secretary Of cabinet
rank.
ITO make an aeronautical contribution
substantial enough TO enable our Allies to
strike a decisive blow" continued MFR. Haw-
ley, there will probably be needed 100, 900
aeroplanes and between 10000 and 20. 900
ayiators the aeroplanes TO be manufac.
tured and the aviators to be trained in
America. This should, of course. be done
in the shortest time possible.
"Great Britain. according TO authoritative
reports. is producing 1000 aeroplanes per
month, and France as many, but they are
used as fast as they are manufactured
'There are even more reasons for Great.
fng a department Of aeronautics In the
United States than there were for creating

had large military and naval admlnistra'
tion forces which II seemed advisable tc
