PREF TO SUCCEED
SHIP BOSS HURLEY

Washington, Dec 24.-Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the United States
Shipping Board and president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, is ex-
pected to resign both positions when
he returns from abroad, In about a
month.
In so doing he will follow example
OF John D. Ryan, Charles M. Schwab
and other business men who gave I'D
private business affairs to serve the
government for the duration of the
war.
Gossip about shipping board offices
names only one man as a likely sue
cessor to Hurley as commander Of
Americas merchant marine fleet.
He is Charles Piez, vice president
and general manager of the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation.
Piez is already serving as director
general of the fleet corporation in
succession to Charles M. Schwab.
Hurley praised Piez most highly in
his annual report, and is known to
favor him as his successor.
The shipping board, instead OF pre-
pairing to demobilize as are other gov
eminent departments, is expanding It's
force and plans.
Present plans contemplate removal
of main offices of the board to New
York, but a large staff will be retained
in Washington.
Piez was born in Mayence. Germany,
81 years ago-but don't let that worry
you. for his parents were naturalized
American citizens.
Piez was named vice president Of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation Oc-
tober 29, 1917, and has also been gen.
era1 manager since December, 1917.
Politically Piez is a progressive re-
publican.

FARIS SAYS CAMP
JOHNSTON Is 0. X,

Gail Faris. former stage manager at
the Playhouse, and now q member Of
the quartermsster corps as a truck
diver, stationed at Camp Johnston,
Jacksonville. Fla. has arrived in VIII
mingion. where he will spend a brief
furlough. He will return Sunday night.
Mr.. Faris enlisted for military service
while at Washington, ID. C., last win
ter. Before leaving the city. he lived
at No. 700 French street He was wide
ly known In Wilmington and counts
his friends here in large numbers.
Mr.. Faris said today when speaking
with a reporter for THE EVENING
JOURNAL, that Captain Rath, who has
charge OF the section in which he Is
included, told him TO deny I'm the VIII
mingtOn newspapers the lie purpurt-
ing to have been a bona fide letter sent
out from that camp and supposedly
signed by four Wilmington soldiers
stationed there, in which unsanitary
conditions were set forth as existing in
Camp Johnston. Wilmington news
papers printed the fact OF the letter
having been received by Gerald Far
rell, OF No. 203 East Third street, the
latter part OF June, but the details
were not made public as the fact mat
the names OF Joseph NJ. Lynch, Frank
]. Papa. George l.. Thompson ana Har-
~ Rudnick, whose signatures were
supposed to have been signed to the
letter Of complaint, were all In the
same handwriting.
Mr.. Faris said that the Hun showed
his stupidity and bungled his attempts
at propaganda when he picked out
Camp Johnston as a marker, as there Is
less sickness among the men there, ac-
cOrdng to official army statistics, than
in any other army cant0nment In this
county. He said the days are some
what warm because OF the southerly 10
cation. but according to his statements
there Is no ilner place in the world for
pleasant atmospheric conditions at
night than in and about Jacksonville.
Mr.. Faris is the picture of health, a
fact that corroborates his statement
with reference TO the conditions at
J the camp.
