HIGHER RANK
FOR BARNETT
AGAIN DENIED
Title o Lieutenant General
or Commandant Found
Unnecessary.

The House yesterday for the second
time refused to vote to confer the
rank OF lieutenant general on Maj
Gen. George Barnett, commandant OF
the Marine Carps. BY the vote Of Ill
to 1Oe substitute proposed by Chair
man Padgett, OF the Naval Affairs
Committee. to permit the President to
raise Gen. Barnett to this rank was
rejected, and by the vote Of 40 to 0
the House notified the Senate that it
would insist upon its opposition to the
proposal to change Gen. Barnett's
status.
There was an angry debate before
the vote was taken. Representative
Butler. Of Pennsylvania, one Of the
conferees, told the House that the
Conference Committee has been
forced by the Senate conferees to
agree to the substitute under threat
that the naval appropriation bill, OF
which the Barnett proposal is a part,
would not be passed at all this ses-
sion.
Padgett Makes Denial.
Chairman Padgett, of .he Naval Az
fairs Committee, Indignantly denied
this. He declared that such a condi-
ton had not arisen and that there
was no danger that the bill would not
become law.
Representative Heating, OF Colo
rado. reiterated the charge made
by Butler, saying
The time has come when the
House should take charge of this
situation and say that 1t is not pre-
pared to grant this high promotion
under the threat that IL this man
is not advanced the bill cannot be-
come law. The rank of lieutenant
general and that of major general
OF the Marine Corps should be re-
served for the men who are lighting
in France and should not be given
to stan officers remaining here in
Washington"
Representative Miller, of Minne-
sofa, opposing the amendment, call
ed attention to the fact that the
rank OF general was created for
Gen. Pershing only because IL was
necessary in order to give him equal
rank with the commanders of the
allied forces. He declared that all
our battles in every war had been
won by major generals, and that
the Marine Corps when expanded to
its utmost limits would not have
more than $4,000 men, too few, he
said. to be entitled to a lieutenant
geenral.
Miller spurns PROPOSAL.
Miller spurned the proposal to al
low the President to decide whether
the rank should be bestowed or not,
and characterized this proposal as
an act OF cowardice, and passing
the buck to the President" He in
sisted mat the House should decide
whether or not it was right to
create the positions for the star
officers.
Chairman Padgett explained that
although he had been opposed to
the original plan of raising Gem
eral Barnett's rank, he felt that IL
would be safe to entrust the mat
ter to the President. He appealed
to the House not to cast aspersions
on Gen. Barnett and other officers
OF the marine corps
The House also voted to stand by
its opposition to- the payment Of
bonuses to workmen in shipyards
under the Admiral Taylor system.
and instructed the conferees to i'm
stst upon having this amendment in
corporated in the bill.

BERTHA"
LOWERSPARIS
LIVING COSTS
Prices Drop at Central Mar
ket When SuperGun
Begins Bombardment.

Paris, June 27.-'Big Bertha" No.
y, the German supercannon. has
beaten both the French war ONCE
and the food controller in its bonn
bardment of Paris.
1t beats the war office by giving
Parisians the news that a new Ger
man drive has begun before the Of
fcial communiques are issued.
1t beats the food controller by re-
ducing prices.
On Monday. May 81, 1t was "Ber-
tha" who informed Paris that the
big offensive had started on the
Aisne. The effect Of 'Bertha's"
first BOOM after three weeks si-
lence, was just like that of the
starters pistol when a race starts.
In Paris on that glorious spring
morning no one would have noticed
anything unusual. No signs of ex-
.citement, no groups of anxious peo-
pie discussing the situation. no
blank faces. 1t, was as average q
Monday morning as you can
imagine.
When the brief afternoon conn
munique" announced that the often
sive had begun. there was 10 surprise.
Bertha had got there irst.
Cuts Food Prices.
One of the most earnest endeavors
cf the French food minister, Victor
Boret, Is to reduce the scale of prices
He will doubtless succeed in time.
Meanwhile Bertha" has got ahead Of
him.
As soon as her voice was heard that
Monday morning, prices at the CEN
trail markets dropped appreciably; so
much so, that many a needy house
holder was able to bring home a
spring chicken.
The performances of Big Bertha"
are strictly taboo" The second bonn
bardment was the last occasion when
anything was said about victims or
damage, Since then all the public is
told Is contained in a brief official
announcement.
''Bombardment" can, of course, be
variousIy interpreted. II may mean
scores of shells a minute. as for in
stance in the case of Rheims and cer-
tain other cities in the war zone. 1t
may also mean a shell or two every
"a hours.
They still Jump.
Naturally it is easy to imagine
which the German Interpretation
is! That is why some papers have
argued it would be better to pub
lish full reports of what Bertha"
has done or has not done.
When the first bombardment be-
gan last March the writer sat in
BARRIERS chair when a shell ex-
ploded. The barber was one of
the oldest Inhabitants" who re-
membered the siege of Paris in the
war of 1870.
"Ah, Monsieur he remarked.
TT is a thing of no importance.
We who lived under the lombard
ment in 1s71-we are not so easily
movedr"
But it is still the fashion to jump
when a shell goes OF in the vicinity.
Target Record Poor.
II 1t is forbidden to speak about
the doings of Bertha No. q" GER
tain facts about her predecessors
can be stated.
CLong paragraph deleted by
censor).
"BerthaH tops the list in these
statistics due to an accident. That
was on Good Friday when a she'll
striking an ancient church during
a sacred concert caused the col
lapse of a pillar apd part, of the
roof. (Sentenee deleted by censor).
But for this Good Friday tragedy,
"Bertha's target record would have
been a poor one.
Doubtless we shall some day learn
exactly what the muchvaunted
"bombardment of Paris" amounted
to. Those who know. or think they
know, have orders to be silent.

are very necessary to the maintain

logical conclusion that county fair
should be attended by the farmers to
learn more about better and more
