deficiency act of last October. which
prohibited transfer OF civil service
employees from one department or
government establishment to another.
is urged upon the House in a report
from the committee on reform in the
civil service.
Representative Smith of Idaho pre-
sented the report to the House. which
shows that the proposed change IL

employment the section was inserted
in the urgent deficiency bill.

Believed Inquiry Prejudiced.

The witness told the committee he
also refused to cooperate with the
investigation of Inspector General
Chamberlain because he believed the
inquiry would be prejudiced. When
he declined to participate he was told
by the inspector general. he said, that
a report would be made to Congress
that would be very detrimental" to
Ansell.
This statement by Gen. Chamberlain
he characterized as "a mild third de-
gree, a menace and a threat
Mr. Ansell said his charges Of OBJ
struction by War Department officials
of his efforts to reform courts-mar-
tial practices had been misinterpreted.
He did not mean to include Gen.
March, chief of staff, among the OBJ
structionists, who, he said, We're Sec
retary Baker. Gen. Crowder and Act

All officers and men who served in
the 1st Regular Division overseas. and
who have since been discharged or

The War Department made this an
nouncement today, and letters are be-
ing written to all officers who served

Extracts From Report.

The report says that this provision
prohibits any civil employe in the
various executive departments or
other government establishments. or
who has been employed therein within
the period of one year. from being
transferred to or re-employed by any
other department or government eS-
tablishment at an increased salary ii
paid from a lump-sum appropriation.
and from receiving any increase with
in year from the termination of the
first employment.
The principal object of the section
was undoubtedly to prevent bidding
by newly established war agencies of
the government. against department
and other government agencies for the
services of employees 1t also prevent
ed one department bidding against an
other. in cases when one of them hap
pened to be more advantageousIy sit
uated than another with respect to the
use of lump-sum appropriations
But even during the period when
the special conditions obtained which
led 10 the enactment of the section
II proved, in operation TO be of aues-
tlonable utility. indeed if not of posi-
tive detriment to the government serV-
ice. by reason of the inela sticity OF
the provisions of the section. AS il
applied only to persons already in the
CIVIL employ of the government or who
had been so employed within a year
Its operation was inequitable, placing
the civil employees of the government
at disadvantage as compared with
persons who had never before been in
the service.
Evening star., 1919-08-29
Disadvantage to Government.

The discrimination was equally TO
the disadvantage of the governments
as it frequently handicapped heads
OF newly established bureaus and
establishments in compelling them 10
seeK~ the services of persons unfa-
miiiar with the conduct of the gov
ernments departmental affairs in
positions in which persons trained in
the government service could have
been used with greater benefit. had
II not been for the restrictive pro-
visions in section of the act of
October 6. 1917.
The emergency conditions under
which the section was enacted have
ceased to prevail The special war
time establishments have gone or are
going out of existence. and there is
no longer any advantage TO be gained
by keeping the section upon the
statute books. On the contrary il
frequently results in hardship and
inequality to government employees
and to disadvantage to the govern
ment, for persons whose services
might be utilized by one of the regu-
lar departments or establishments
cften find themselves precluded from
accepting employment therein unless
they are willing to do so at salaries
less than those which are customarilv
paid in such departments for the same
grade of work. simply because the
prospective employe has on some
previous occasion within a year been
employed in another department or
establishment of the government At a
lower rate of compensation. As
pointed out in the letter of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. such restric-
tion against increases applying as IL
does to a limited class of persons in
an arbitrary way and for no reason
except that they have previously
been in the government service. cam
rot do otherwise than result in
marked inequalities in pay.

Ruling on Former Members.

The former members of the division
Will form separate section of the
parade. and will march without their
field equipment All persons eligible
for a place in that section must pay
their way to Washington, as the War
Department does not feel that 1t can
properly pay the railroad fare of SOL
diers not included in the division or
der.
1t was made plain today that seats
in the official reviewing stand will
be issued by invitation only, and per-
sons who do not receive such invita-
tions should purchase seats from the
citizens welcome committee if they
wish TO get the BEST possible view of
the ceremony. There will be no more
room in the official stand than requir-
ed for Congress. the diplomatic corps
and proper officials.
The work of erecting the official
stand. which will be Immediately in
front of the White House, will be
started next Tuesday under the su-
pervision of Lieut.. Col. II. j. McKen-
ney OF the inspector generals office
The stand will be put up by the Army
engineers and will be of the same
type as that erected for presidential
lnaugurationS.

Committee Stacked, Ansen Says.

The American Bar Association COM
mittee, Mr.. AnSell asserted, was hand
picked" and stacked" with men
known to support the position of Mr.
Baker and Gen. Crowder. Its investiga-
ton, he said, was unfair ana was
closed without calling any of long list
OF witnesses he suggested. Army otncers
testifying in support of the present
system, he added, had their expenses
to Washington paid while witnesses
he suggested were warned that they
would nave to pay their own way and
then were not given an opportunity
to testify.
The majority of the Herman board,
Mr. AnselI said. were known in ad-
vance to be biased in favor of the
existing system and constituted "a
prejudiced forum"
If Secretary Baker had designedly
sought 20 appoint a most reactlonary
committee he could not have improved
upon his selections" Ansell said. Be
cause he regarded the Herman board
as prejudiced, he did not submit his
views on military justice reforms.
The Herman report. he said, was ap-
proved in toto" by Secretary Baker
and made statements in defense of
existing Army court practices which.
Mr.. Ansell declared, the War Depart
ment previously was afraid to make"
and it was approved "in toto" by Sec
retary Baker.

As to Scope of Order.

1t is said that similar action will
be taken against every house of amuse-
ment the country over. in which the
Producing Managers Association is in
terested. 1t is not at all probable,
however, that the strike inaugurated
against the BelaSco will affect the
National, Shubert-Garrick, Polls and
keith's. for the reason, it is said. that
the managementS and owners of those
houses are not members of the Pro-
ducing Managers Association.
Manager Taylor of the Belasco was
informed of the strike early last evening,
and the theater was not opened for the
performance. Money for tickets pur-
chased in advance was refunded at the
box office.
Aimed at Owners, Strikers Say.
Members of the Musicians and
Stage Hands unions said this morning
that the strike here is not directed
against John D. Williams. the pro-
ducer of the play. as he is not member
of the association against which the
New York strike is directed, but
against the owners of the Belasco
Theater.
Query About Other Theaters.
Asked if the strike of the musicians
and stage hands at the Belasco Theater
last night would later take in the Ma
tional, Polls, Shubert-Garrick and
keith's theaters. A. c. Hayden. presi-
dent of local union. No. 161. American
Federation of Musicians, and speaking
at the same time for the stage hands
union. said that he could not answer
that question for the reason that if
strikes are to be called against any of
the other Washington houses of amuse-
ment they will be ordered from the
headquarters of the organizations at the
request of the striking actors.
Mr. Hayden pointed out that neither
his organization nor that of the stage
hands had any grievances against the
management of the Belasco Theater
nor the company playing the house. but
went out on strike on orders from
headquarters. The order to strike, he
said. was as much a surprise to the
musicians and stage hands as it was
to the management of the house and
the general public. Mr.. Hayden said
that if the order to strike should come
to the other theaters it would be
promptly done and no questions asked.

Jov That All Can Have,

The joy Of living is best found in
the real success of life. Take away
success and there's no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon-
sibilities. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence, for he wants to con-
tribute something to the worlds prog
ress, the worlds good. And it is in such
contribution that real joy is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali-
zation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the JOY this journal wishes every read
er may have the coming year; and will
have if they fully appreciate that the
new year is theirs, to make it truly a
happy new year.

Record Pecan Crop.

San Saba, Texas, has won national
reputation as the home of the paper
shell pecan. This season has been par
ticularly adapted to this species of
food and 1919 will go down in history
as the banner year for San Saba
pecans. A conservative estimate gives
the present crop as 30 or 60 carloads.
The product from a single tree is
selling for $40 per tree unthrasheG,
while the retail value is from II cents
to 25 cents per pound. Many of the
trees have an average of 800 pounds.
One buyer has contracted for $4,000
pounds.
