Brigadier General Frederick E.
Reche, Born in Germany,
!. . Not Efficient.

Washington, D. c., April 10.-Dis-
charge from the federal service of
Brigadier General Frederick E. Resche
OF Minnesota, a national guard officer,
born In Germany and charged with un-
patriotic expressions and sentiments,
was announced today by the war de.
partment ~ @ ..' s,.@. ..-,
The discharge was ordered by Pres
ident Wilson after an investigation
Of the charges General Resche has
been serving with the 34th National
guard division, composed of troops
from Minnesota, iowa, Nebraska
and North Dakota, now training at
Camp Cody, New Mexico. ..-,..
At the war department it was stat
ed that no overt act of disloyal nature
had been charged against General
Resche, and that this feature had not
been touched upon in the investiga-
ton of his case. Reports made by in
spectors upon the condition OF the bri-
gade which he commanded was said
to have been the principal basis for
the discharge. s"%
THE primary desire of the war de-
partment, it was said was to get out Of
the service an officer of high rank
who was shown by the reports Of in
spectors to be lacking in zeal and en-
terprise in preparing his command for
conflict with, the German army. For
that reason. he was promptly discharg
ed, and the uestion of his. loyalty left
to be passed upon by the civil branch,
of the government. The discharge
makes civilian of General Resche.
Had he been a regular army officer.
the war departments course would
have been different.
Duluth, Mimi, April 10.-Before the
present war Brigadier General F., D.
Resche was humane officer of Duluth,
and was connected with the Duluth
police department. He was born in
Germany and received his military
training in the Prussian army. Some
years ago he was captain Of police
here He was active in national guard
circles in the state and rose rapidly
from the ranks.

NO ADDITIONAL POWER
FOR WILSON in BILL
Senate Subcommittee Decides
to Bar Extra Authority in
Overman Measure
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10

President Wilson will not receive any
additional powers under the overman
reorganization bill This was today de-
cided at q meeting Of the subcommittee
Of the Senate judiciary Committee.
Members Of the committee presented
tentative amendments 10 the bill, which
will take away any additional powers
over the executive departments that
might be granted TO the President by
the bill. 1t was agreed in the subcom-
mittee that no additional powers should
be included In the measure.
Senator Overman contended that the
bill merely gives the President the right
to coordinate the work of the various
executive departments. and that 1t does
not give him any wide sweeping power
to change bureaus and departments,
Other members Of the committee desired
to read the bill more carefully and TO
draw amendments. so adjournment was
taken until THURSDAY.
Members of the committee are still liz

poses to do in the way OF reorganization

President would do, Senator Overman
