Frantic efforts to restore the

The enemy's losses on all

three days of the offensive are
now estimated at 10000.
The heaviest fighting is still

CITY MAY
TAKE SIDE
OF GREENE

The city Of Tacoma will official
ly ask that Gen. Greene be rein
stated in command at Camp Lewis.
At the Thursday meeting of
the council 1t was agreed to adopt
a resolution, to be drafted later in
the day, eulogizing the work Of
Gen. Greene in this community
and asking the war department if
means cannot be found for retain
ing his services here.
Commissioner Shoemaker, Po-
lice Chief Smith and Mayor Rid
dell all spoke in high terms of the
departing commanding officer. His
cooperation with the city in hand
ling health matters was especial
ly lauded.
May Change Plan.
This afternoon 1t was thot at
the city hall that possibly the plan
might be changed, and resolu-
tons be sent to- Greene himself
rather than OF the war depart
ment.
1t was felt that inasmuch as the
step had been taken, it might be
too late to have it recalled, but
THAT the community owed the Off
lcer an expression of gratitude.
Labor Interested.
Much excitement prevailed at
the Labor temple this morning
when the news of Gen. Greene's
removal became known, and it is
understood that the Central Labor
Council will draft a resolution
eulogizing his work here and ask
ing that he be retained in COM
mand.
A. l.. Dickson, secretary, said /:
81 deeply regret to hear that
Gen. Greene has been removed
from the cantonment. 1 always
found him to be a generous,
broadminded man and thoroly eff
ficient for the position he held.
Especially did he appeal to or
ganized laboring men as he was
easily approachable and fair In
his dealings" -

Of the war department today
are referring here to the side
tracking of Maj. Gen. Greene
from command OF the Dist di-
vision at Camp Lewis, WASH,
and his reduction to his old
grade Of brigadier.
And the war department and its
partisans are saying very little
that is notwithstanding Of
fetal.
But of gossip there is no end.
1t is known that there have
been a flood of complaints from
Tacoma. Olympia and Seattle,
most Of them unofficial, in regard
to Greene park.
There are persons here inclined
to believe that the conduct of 1t,
the environments amusement zone,
has connection with Greene's
troubles.
Still there is still another group
which processes to see in Gen.
Greene's Philippine assignment
some anticipated step toward or
ganizing the previously discussed
American expedition to Russia.
Who will succeed Gen. Greene
permanently at Camp Lewis is an
other open subject, tho there are
again well-defined rumors that
the man will be Maj. Gen. J..

HEADS
CAMP

Brig. Gen. Frederick S. Foltz
is in temporary command of Camp
Lewis today.
ii. A. Greene, until yesterday
morning major general in the ma
tional army and commander of
camp and 91st division, Is on his
way somewhere reduced to his
old grade of brigadier general in
the regular army, and understood
to be slated for service in the
Philippines instead of in France.
And while thousands Of
tongues wag over this latest
army sensation, not one word
of explanation as to why IL all
happened is forthcoming.
All anybody at Camp Lewis will
admit knowing is this:
That about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning Gen. Greene received a
telegram.
Terse Wire Message.
1t was a terse war department
message saying that on orders of
the president he was relieved of
his national army position and for
him to acknowledge receipt of the
message by wire.
This action automatically re-
stored him to his old regular army
grade of brigadier general but did
not take from him command of
the 91st.s
Some hours later, IN accord
ance with plans previously made,
he was on his way east. Mrs.
Greene had preceded him by "a
hours.
1t was anticipated by members
of his staff that before he had
gone very far another message
would overtake him depriving him
of command in the 91st. That, at
least, would be the usual military
sequence of events, it was ex-
planned.
Sensation at Camp.
The news of what had happened
was withheld until Gen. Greene
WAS Oh HIS way east.
When it was made known II
came as the greatest sensation
Camp Lewis ever has known. Of
ficers refused to discuss the mat
ter for publication and for the
most part would not discuss il al
all, other than to express aston
jshment.
Gen. Greene was the first COM
mander Of the CAMP. He came Ia
Tacoma last September when Maj.
(now lieutenant coloneD David
Stone was whipping the canton
ment construction thru its finish
ing period.
1t was under his direction that
tic DIST was organized and train
ed, that military regulations were
put into force in Tacoma, Seattle
and other nearby communities
that Greene park was developed
and that plans for going overseas
were perfected.
Had Been in France.
During midwinter he was tenn
porarily absent, in France. With
two staff members he, like Other
division commanders, put in sew
eral weeks studying trench condi'
tions. On his return to this coun-
! try he underwent the rigid over.

Up to the hour of his reduction
