How Proud He Is

OYSTER BAY. L. l., March 15.-
Colonel Roosevelt to-day cabled his
son, Captain Archibald Roosevelt. who
was awarded the French War Cross
Tor gallantry, and who is now in a
base hospital recovering from wounds
received in action. His message read:
"Archie: We are very anxious, but
we are more proud than you can
imagine. Oracle and baby all right.
Your cross is the greatest possession
the family has"
Mrs. Archie Roosevelt and her baby
are in Boston, where her parents live.
The Colonel telephoned his daughter
in-law several times during the dav.
though he had not much additional in
formation to give her.
Mrs. Roosevelt is very proud of
Archie" Colonel Roosevelt said last
night. "She is trying not to worry and
has been very brave. | guess the boy
was pretty hard hit, but we are glad
he was not killed and we are confident
he will be out in good time and back at
the front"
Colonel Roosevelt made several in
ehectual efforts during the day to get
some additional information regarding
both the condition of his son and de-
tails of the action which brought him
his injuries and the French war cross

Daniels Reuerses
Decision to Deny
Bonuses to FHers

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Navy
aviators, hereafter, will be required to
make certain number OF actual
fights to be eligible for the customary
30 per cent bonus in pay under regu-
lations signed to-day by Secretary Dan
iels. The number OF flights required
was not made public.
In announcing this new policy OF
the department, Secretary Daniels sad
he had reversed his stand taken in q
letter 10 the House Naval Committee
recently, in which he recommended
abolition of the bonus. This was due
largely, he said. TO the decision OF the
Senate Military Committee not to ellml-
maze from the military bill allowance
for Il similar bonus for army avlators.
"As d matter Of principle, am stu
opposed TO the bonus IN pay for avl-
ators," SAID Mr.. Daniels. but am
told that England maintains the prac-
,Icc, and now that the War Depart
nnent'a position in the matter has been
settled, it would not do for the navy
t. take contrary course.

ator Ransdell. of Louisiana. a member
Of the committee. The conference was

faction with the outlook at the present
time and agreed with Senator Fletcher
that the nation should produce from
3000,0 600 TO 1900 600 tons of shipping
of all kinds this year Mr.. Wilson was
understood to have expressed particular
interest in the reinforced concrete ship
launched yesterday on the Pacific Coast
and to desire that the vessel be given a
thorough trial because of the short
time in which this class of craft can be
turned out.
Senator Fletcher told the President
that ship day is being launched
now and that all indications point to
two launchings d day by May. Some
shipyards are handicapped. the Senator

In this connection it was learned
that the underlying purpose of the

Gavin McNab, Of San Francisco, has

to prepare for the enlarged aircraft

Yard Launches Three
Ships in F orty Minutes

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Chair-
man Hurley Of the Shipping Board TO-
day announced that three steel ships
each of 9.400 tons, were to-day
launched within a space of forty min
utes by the Moore Shipbuiding Com
pany. at Oakland, Cal. The California
company flashed a telegrapl:ic report
to the chairman of the Shipping Board
as each vessel left the ways.
An additional encouraging report on
the practicability of concrete ships was
to-day received by the Shipping Board
from w. Leslie Comyn, presiden. of
the San Francisco Shipbuilding Com
pany. which yesterday launched the
first large concrete vessel TO be con
structed in the United States.
The appearance of the ship after
launching is SUCH" wired Mr.. Comyn
that it warrants US in stating that we
believe this form of construction may
be safely depended upon
The advantages of quick construction
and low cost are sufficient, the Shipping
Board believes, to warrant a thorough
nvestigation OF the practicability OF
concrete ship construction.

Weeds Out lncompetents
in Regulars, National
Guard and Reserve
No Appeal Provided
Failed to Measure Up to Test
of Modern War
Conditions

WASHINGTON, March 15.-National
Guard, regular army and reserve off,
GERS found unsuited for service with
the American overseas forces are be-
ing discharged by General Pershing in
large numbers, it became known to-
day at the War Department. While
most OF the officers declared inefficient
are company commanders. the dis
charge OF one colonel and several
majors has been reported to the de-
partment in cables from the command
er OF the overseas forces
Army officers to-day attributed the
discharge Of so many men by General
fefsnlng to the new standard set by
the present war. None OF the officers
VINO have been DISCHARGED were nhvsi-
cally unfit, 1t is declared, but all of
them were lacking in the requirements
that are demanded by the service in
France
While no names of the discharged
men are available, it is known that
some of them are National Guard Off
GERS who have failed to adapt them
selves to the rigor of trench warfare.
Others were men in the regular army
who have been unable to stand up un-
der the strain in France. and many
were reserve officers who were sent to
France early in the war and found in
capable under war conditions.
1t was pointed out at the department
to-day that discharges ordered by
General Pershing will not be appealed
from successfully as in the case of
numerous discharged officers with
troops in service or training here. 1t
was estimated to-day that at least 90
per cent of the officers discharged by
the department since Secretary Bakers
ruling that incompetents must go have
been appealed, with the result that
new examinations have had to be given
by medical and efficiency boards.
Army men declare that this one fact
is largely responsible for the failure
of the National Guard divisions to be
completely trained and ready for dis
patch overseas. The constant chang
ing of officers in the former state
troops. they declared, had retarded the
training at least 80 per cent
Congressional influence was said to
have had something to do with the ap-
pointments Of not few of the men
now to be returned as incompetent.

State Units to
Disappear From
American Army
Regulars, National Guard
and Drafted Men To Be
lntermingled

WASHINGTON, March Is. The
Army and National Guard units is GER
tain to vanish as the war progresses,
IN the opinion of army officials. Brit
ish and French forces already have
undergone the process and it now is
being felt by American front line di-
visions, as the direct result of the
three line system of defence, held in
dispensable by General Pershing and
the Allied chieftains to keep the front
line at full fighting strength.
Plans projected by the General Staff
for erecting a replacement system to
handle nearly quarter of a million
men this year, it is understood, are
founded on acceptance of the fact that
localization cannot be maintained.
Eventually it is believed that en-
listed men of the regulars. National
Army and National Guard will be in
termiXed throughout all divisions at
the front.
Congress expressed a decided prefer
ence for localization of the National
Army in the selective service law, but
many officers have maintained insis-
tently that it would be impossible to
handle the army except as one great
unit.
Welding Process Has Begun
The facts promise to bear out that
view, it is said, and with the replace
ment Of casualties, the welding Of the
expeditionary forces into one homo
geneous unit has already begun.
In an opinion rendered last Septem-
Ansen sustained absolutely the legal
right of the department to transfer

vice is a part of it," he said.
The six division corps organization
adopted by General Pershing was de
vlsed to give corps commander a two
division front to hold, backed up by
two divisions on the second line and
two divisions on the third line. At in
tervals, those divisions relieve each
other, each serving its allotted time in
each of the three lines.

visions, men are drawn from second line
