The navy qesafTnfent has Teielsesy
from office and shore duty the regu
lars Of the navy and the reservists and
has assigned them to active duty with
the fleet. Their places as clerks wiz
be taken by women wherever possible.
Rear AttmiraI MCGOWAN, paymaster
general of the navy, issued the order in
connection with this change in policy.
Every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank or rating, adds just
one more to the fighting force" says
this order. EVERY man Of every rank
and rating desires, of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
mo man in the navy is willing in war
time to do anything that q woman can
do as we'll; whereas no officer can be
expected to be content in any part Of
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work SO important in
its nature that it cannot properly be
delegated to any person Of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore it is requested and d.
rected that the officer in charge of
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make q careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel, both COM
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as we'll,
and it is to be distinctly understood in
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number of men for duty at
the front"

The Liberty motor, developed by the
department Of military aeronauticS, is
to have special engine oil Which is to
be known as the Liberty aero oil"
It was developed by the fabrication
branch while the latter was still part
Of the signal corps. It is mineral
oil and will be used not only on the
liberty motor but on all stationary
cylinder aircraft engines Of the army
and navy.
It's development is due to the energy
and skill of staff of men who worked
exclusively on the problem for year.
Capt. Q. ]. May, who deserves greatest
credit for it's production, so exhausted
himself by his labors that he could
not recuperate from an illness and
died.
When the aircraft program was an
nounced in 1917 no one in authority
had a definite idea as to the proper
kind of lubrication required. There
was no uniformity. For every engine
there was a specific oil. Some en-
gineers insisted on castor oil, others
mineral Oil, still others castor and
mineral oils mixed. 1t was estimated
that 100000 gallons Of castor Oil,
costing SO per gallon, would be re-
quired and that quantity was not avail
able.
Captain May and assistants set out
to develop a suitable lubricant for the
Liberty motor at>an average cost OF 70
cents a gallon, and also system for
reclaiming Oil already used. In 20
days Captain May supervised the run
ming of 81 engine tests in laboratory
where five engine tests week Woulq
be a complete program. These en-
gines were run with different kinds Of
oils and each oil was analyzed and
measured before and after tests. The
work required ceaseless vigil. Alti-
tude tests were made in an alright
building capable of having the air
within it partly exhausted.
From these tests the Liberty aero
oil developed. 1t will cost about one
fourth the price of castor oil, saving
the government perhaps $11 100000 a
year. A system of reclaiming used
oil was developed and at least 80 per
cent can be made fit to use again.

The national war labor board has de-
cided against establishment at this
time of a minimum wage to be applied
generally throughout industry. 1t
adopts an attitude firmly opposed both
to unjust profits on the part Of capital
and unreasonable demands on the part
of labor, stating that capital should
have only such reasonable returns as
will assure its use for the worlds ana
the nations cause, and that the phySl-
cal welbeing of labor and it's physical
and mental effectiveness, in a comfort
reasonable in view of the exigencies OF
the war, likewise should be assured.
The board declares the war to be an
interregnum in which the wheels OF
industry should turn only in the COM
mon cause and for common ends, aQQ
neither for unjust profits on the part
of capital or unfairly inflated wages
for labor, stressing maximum produc-
ton as the paramount necessity ana
unselfish cooperation as the prel1ml-
nary essentials to this accomplishment.
There is reaffirmatiOn by the boarq
of the principle that the worker is en-
titled to a wage sufficient to sustain
himself and his family in health ana
comfort, and q restatement by the
board to apply this principle in each
of the cases to come before it for de,
ciSiOn.

Captain Welsh Becomes
Chief Of the Sioux Indians

Mandan, N. D., June 12.-With the
passing of Chief John Grass, of the
Sioux tribe Of Indians, who recently
died at Fort Yates, the headquar-
tiers OF the Standing Rock agency, his
mantle falls upon the shoulders OF
the only. white man ever adopted in
to the tribe. Thus Captain A. B.
WEIGH, Of Mandan, adopted son Of
the old chieftain, becomes, accord
ing to ancient customs Of the Sioux,
the chief Of the tribe.
The new Sioux chief, whose In
dian name is Mato- Watakpe, is with
the United States infantry in France
and is the aide OF Major General
Hunter Ldggett. A grandson Of John
Grass, Albert. Grass, is serving with
the same division.
Although there were formerly four
chieftains Of the Sioux, only one line
remains, and, the old chiefs sens
all being dead, Captain WEIGH, by
reason of being and adopted son
takes precedence over grandson in
the direct line.
The name Mato- Watakpe is the
Sioux war name Of the old chief
and means Charging Bear" When
he was adopted Captain WEIGH chose

would be known among the Indians.
Although the chief Of today has
not the same powers Of the chief Of
years gone by, the title gives him
the respect Of the Indians and they
recognize him as their leader. A
chief still represents his tribe in
all the disputes or conferences with
the government.
Captain WEIGH for many years has
been a student Of the Indian GUS
toms and formed many friendships
with members Of the. Sioux tribe. In
1913, because Of a mutual regard that
had grown up between the captain
and the chief, John Grass, the lat
ter asked the captain II he would
be willing to be adopted as his son.
The captain consented and, conform
ing to the ancient ceremonies of the
Sioux, was taken into the tribe by
a service held at Fort Yates. the old
trading center. The service began
at dawn and lasted until shutdown.
The body Of the old chief has been
laid in the cemetery at Fort Yates
and the Sioux now look for the re-
turn Of their pale face chief from
the great war to assume control of
their affairs and act as their spokes-
man in all matters In which the tribe
Is involved.
