STATUE TO BUCHANAN
IN WASHINGTON SURE
Long Controversy Over Delayed
Honors to Former President
Near End.

Washington is to have 100000
statue of former President James Bu-
chanan in Meridian Hill Park. This
was indicated by vote of the House
yesterday, 217 to 142. after more than
decade of controversy on this point.
The statue is to bear the inscription:
THE incorruptible statesman, whose
walk was upon the mountain ranges of
the law"
The vote of the House allows the
trustees to carry out a provision in the
will of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston.
niece of President Buchanan. who pre-
sided over the White House during his
administration. She continued to live
in Washington until her death in 1903.
Final vote was delayed until today,
when Representative Madden of IL
linois, after filibustering tactics had
been engaged in by the republicans, in
sisted on the reading of the engrossed
bill AS the engrossed copy had not
been made, it was necessary to postpone
final action.
The measure must now go to the
Senate If Congress does not authorize
site by next July. the 100000 left for
the memorial reverts to Mrs. Johnston's
estate. Bitter attacks upon the states
manship of Buchanan have been heard
on the floor of the House during debate
of the resolution. but apologists for the
course of the former President have
won the victory.

SECRETARY BAKER PRAISES
h. EISENMAN'S WORK FOR u. S.

Mr.. Eisenman was vice chairman Of his
Mr.. Rosenwald's-commit
Secretary Bakers statement last
night explained that while the ,reor-
ganized Quartermaster generals depart
ment no longer depended upon the sup
plies committee of the Council of Ma
tional Defense. of which Mr.. Eisenman
Is vice chairman. that committee still is
in existence "and will continue to accu-
mulate information, in order that 1t
may advise the several departments of
the government whose needs are co-or-
dinated by the Council of National De-
fense."
Mr.. Eisenman, who remains a mem
Der of that committee and is its vice
chairman" the statement added. will
undoubtedly render very valuable serv-
ice to the government upon his return
from a vacation trip. In the meantime,
am glad to have a public opportunity
to say that the work done by Mr.. Eisen-
man during all the hurried months of
our early preparation was of the high
est value to the government, resulting
in the saving of many millions of dol
lars"
Evening star., 1918-02-21
Should Not Be Exaggerated.

Optimistic as these statements appear.
the Secretary said they should not be
exaggerated and should be considered
in the light Of these facts: =
That after three years of warf&re the
total number of planes able to take the
air at one time on either side of the
western front has not been more than
$500.
That forty-six men are required on
the ground for every plane in the air.
making a total Of 115.Oo0 men needed
for the present maximum of $500
planes.
That for every plane in the air there
must be two replacement planes on the
ground. and one training plane for
every pilot who eventually reaches the
front. with a spare engine for each
plane.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting the
aircraft production program under way
Mr.. Baker said the great problem now
remaining is to secure the thousands of
skilled mechanics, engine men, motor
repair men. wood and metal workers,
etc, needed to keep the planes in per-
feet condition. and without which the
machines turned out soon would be
useless and the fiers helpless.
"At best" said the Secretary, "the
life of plane is but two months. and
the engine must be oyerhauled after
seventy-fve hours, while pilot on a
plane allowed to leave the hangers in
imperfect condition is as helpless as
bird with broken wing.
Now that American battle planes
are going overseas, a great increase in
the volunteering of skilled mechanics
is both essential and expected"
During the past months. Mr.. Baker
said, responsible channel of commu-
nication with the allies has been open
ed. the latest types of foreign ma
chimes have been adapted to American
manufacture, the industry increased at
least twentyfold, the training plane
problem solved and the production of
battle planes begun

OFFICER PROMOTED WHILE
DISMISSAL HANGS FIRE

The case of Col. Alfred e. Kenning-
ton Of the 10th United States Cavalry
(colored), at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.. is
without precedent in the history OF the
Army.
In October, 1916. when he held the
rank of captain. he was convicted by
court-martial Of the charge of violat-
ing his pledge to abstain from drinking
intoxicating liquors and was sentenced
to be dismissed from the service. Pend
ing that trial he was promoted to the
grade of major.
Through some oversight, probably due
to war preparations, the court-martfal
proceedings escaped notice of the au-
thorities at Washington. The result
was that the sentence of dismissal
in any way by the President, without
which it is imperative.
Evening star., 1918-02-21

that the onhcials Of the War Depart
ment became aware Of the peculiar
status Of the case and that the sentence
Of dismissal had not been acted on by
the President one way or the other.
The friends Of Col. Wilmington were
Of opinion that the action of the Presi.
dent in authorizing the promotion Of
the officer pending action on the sen-
tence Of dismissal operated as a full
pardon lot the offense Of which he had
been convicted previously. It is the
view Of officers at the War Department,
however, that 1t is still within the
province of the President to act on the
court-martial proceedings and direct the
execution of the sentence Of dismissal
If deemed advisable
In view Of the demonstrated eniciency
OF Col. Remington and his reformation
since his lapse of more than year
ago, the sentence Of dismissal may be
set aside by the President and the
officer permitted to retain his present
status on active duty.
Col. Remington Is from Washington,
and was graduated from the Military
Academy in the class of 1896. His en-
tire service has been in the cavalry
arm.

To aid in conservation Of food and

dental Hotel after this week. Accord
ing to announcement Of Gus Buchholx.
proprietor Of the Occidental. the dim
ing rooms are to be closed every night

said. I'VE are in-this war and we must
win it. I was a German-American, but
that is over-done with. am an Amer
lean. We have to save everything 1t is
possible to save. And If the war lasts
a few years longer, Americans will be
surprised at what they will find it nee
essary to do.
Saving everything it was possible
to save is what has enabled Germany
to continue SO long against the allies,
and we will have to save our foodstuffs
and everything else If we are to win"

Given More Important Duty.

Following the declaration of war
against Germany year ago. the mill
tary establishment was vastly enlarged,
and practically all the officers of the
Regular Army were given more i'm
portant duties with higher rank. Maj.
Remington was among those advanced
in rank, despite the fact that SEN
tence of dismissal stood against him.
First he was made a lieutenant
colonel in the 10th Cavalry and a few
months later he was elevated to the
highest field rank of colonel. Both of
these appointments, however. were of
a temporary character, covering only
the period of the war.
1t was only within the past few days

Moreover, officers say, more and more
German planes are appearing in the
sky, and in various quarters there is a
growing belief that these are the first
of the machines which the Germans
have been building feverishly to Offset
the large number of expected American
airplanes in accordance with plans an
nounced in the United States.
Whether this belief is true or not the
fact remains that American troops are
holding the sector and are endangered
daily because there are no American
airplanes with them. The question most
