De Woody Announces He
Will Quit U. S. Service
Chief of Bureau of Investigation
Here Finds His Salary
Too Small

Charles F. De Woody, chief of the
Bureau of Investigation of the De-
partment of Justice, yesterday con-
firmed the report that he intends to
leave the Federal service and enter
business He has not yet sent his res
ignation to Washington, nor has he
accepted any of the business offers
made him.
Shortly before the United States en-
tered the war Mr.. De Woody intended
to resign from the government service,
but was induced to stay by Washing
ton authorities. Mr. De Woody is
leaving the Federal service because Of
the small pay.
Mr.. De Woody came to New York
from Cleveland last January to take
charge of the local Office of the Bureau
of Investigation. With only forty op-
eratves to run down hundreds of dan
gerous enemy aliens and spies, he
curbed the enemy alien menace in the
New York district and crushed the
famous German spy ring here.
Out of his salary of $4,000 q year
Mr.. De Woody has been forced to ad-
vance expense money to operatives on
cases to continue Investigations, while
Germany was paying millions to her
espionage and propaganda agents in
this country. The salary checks of the
agents we're at times two months be-
hind and their expense accounts four
months behind There is no emer-
gency fund available for the operatives
paid only $3.50 a day.

Out of that bag, which weigh fifteen
pounds, tall fir trees are to come, trees
to the number of 10000, which will
grow in the places of vast French for
ests shaved away by German vandalism
and cover the scars of million and a
half shell-torn acres Of soil in North

1t is going to take forty years to
cover up what the Germans defaced in
four, according to Mr. Ridsdalc, and the
first fifteen pounds of seed must be
doubled over and over again until thou
sands have been furnished to France
France asked for $50 pounds of fir
seed" Mr.. Ridsdalc said. an this
country there were only fifteen pounds
available AS there was no demand
for seed while the war was going on,
the Northern frs were not stripped of
seed this fall. They are now snow
bound, and it will be another year be-
fore any can be gathered. But this
fifteen pounds will raise trees worth a

1t will take two years to gather the

Speaking of the delinquents and de-
serters who have not been apprehended,
Mr.. Conboy declared that: the police
would be furnished with lists of the
men wanted, and that a painstaking
search for all evaders and slackers
would be continued, notwithstanding
the signing of the armstce.

LOO Marines Killed

We're q Per Cent
Barnett's Report Gives High
Praise to Fresh Troops;
Units in Fighting Listed;
3I,5OOPeace Roll Wanted

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The first
complete list of Marine Corps units
serving with the American army in
France was made public to-day by
Major General Barnett, commandant of
the Marine Corps, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy.
With the lists of organization num-
bers, General Ba,nett gives some of
the congratulatory messages from
French and American officers, prasing
the great work vi the marines, and
commenting warmly uro.l the magniti
cent courage and morale of the men,
among whom the casualty rate was
tremendous.
Following are tho marine units in
France: The 9Th, 9th and 18th Regi-
ments, the 1st Machine Gun Battalion,
the LIST, I'd and Sd Replacement Bat
talions, the Sd, 4th, 9th and 9Th, sep
arate battalions, Is. and I'd Casual Re-
placement Battalions. LIST Separate Ma
chine Gun Battalion and part of the
18th Regiment. The total UP to the
date of the report was $40 officers and
2l,323 men.
Between April / and September 1,
1913, the marine casualties totalled %
per cent Of their gross strength. Forty
tour cHlccrS and LILO enllSted men
were killed in oction and 76 officers
and 1882 men were wounded.
"Only twenty-five men are known to
be in the hands of the enemy" Gen,
cral Barnett said. at is considered
that this constitutes a most remark
able testimonial to the magnificent
morale and individual courage of the
men,"
Attention also is called to the re-
markable records made by fresh troops
who were thrown into action against
veteran enemy forces after only seven
weeks of training. Their steadiness
under fire, the report said, "is eloquent
of the fine material from which the
corps is drawing its men,"
The Marine Corps also organized a
regiment of heavy artillery to man
seven-inch naval guns provided with
caterpillar tractors and mounts, and
built up its own aviation service, eighty
student fiers being graduated each
month, in the closing days of the war;
from the school at Boston.
Despite the great expansion of the
corps and the reduced training period
the marines maintained their record
for craftsmanship, 67 per cent of the
entire organization qualifying as
marksmen, sharpshooters and expert
rihemen
