WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Lieutenant
General Robert L. Bullard, one OF the
heroic commanders of the American
army in France, to-day was assigned
by Secretary of War Baker as COM
rnander of the Department of the East.
General Bullard takes the post made
vacant by the retirement early this
month of Major General Thomas H.
Barry.
Since his return to this country
from France General Bullard has
been chairman of special army board
investigating the records of officers
to determine their fitness for promo
ton. Secretary Baker said to-day
he is about through with this assign
ment and would go to Governors
Island within a short time.
The new army head at Governors
Island is fifty-eght years old. He was
graduated from West Point in 1885.
He was colonel of a volunteer regi-
ment in the Philippines. He was made
a major in 1902 and a lieutenant
colonel in 1906. In January, 1912, Bull
.ard, then a colonel, created something
OF a s,usation by an article he wrote
for "The Infantry Journal" in which
..e characterized the united States as
"robber nation" for having deprived
.he Filipinos Of independence.
He was in command as temporary
major general of the 1st Division,
A. E. F., from December 13, 1917, to
July Is, 1918, leading it at the cap
ture of Cantigny. Subsequently, he
Vesle, in the St. Mihiel offensive and
IN the Argonne October 16, 1918, he
was given the temporary rank of lieu
tenant general and placed in command
of the Second Army.
General Bupard led the Second Army
in the advance on Metz just before
the armistice was effected. He received
the decoration of the Legion of Honor
the Croix de Guerre with two palms
the Distinguished Service Medal and
the Order of Leopold. On one occa.
sion during his service in France Cen

tion of his French corps commander

when called to account. "If they got
up there and the going was good they

General Bullard is a strong advo
cate of universal military service, a.
revealed by his testimony last Angus
before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee. In December, 1918, Pres
ident Wilson nominated him to be {
permanent major general and the Sen
ate confirmed the nomination January

Officers of Union Decline to Discuss Conferences With Representatives in
 Atlantic City
By Associated Press

Chicago. June 19.-Long distance tele- phone conferences were held late today between union leaders here and repre- sentatives of the striking commercial teIegraphers in Atlantic City, N. J., where the American Federation of Labor is in convention.
 Officers of the commercial telegraphers union declined to discuss the outcome of these conferences, but it was ex- pected that early action would be taken by the convention as to the next move in the strike, which union men claim involves 25,oOO operators in addition to scme 5000 railroad telegraphers who are refusing to handle commercial telegrams.
 Reports received here showed little change in the conditions resulting from strikes of telephone operators and line men in western states. Charles P. Ford, secretary of the International Electrical Workers, said conferences were being held by company officials and union rep resentatives.
 Union men here said the strikes of telephone workers were due to failure of companies to abide by the order of the Postmaster General permitting the right of collective bargaining.

Plans for a tunnel under the English channel discussed so frequently during the last 6o-odd years, are now on the verge of standardization. It is announced that England and France are in perfect accord on the subject, and that war ex- periences have robbed its opponents or most of their contentious. From an en- wineering standpoint no serious difficulty is anticipated; through the impervlous gray chalk underlying the channel bot, tom, electric drills will doubtless find easy and rapid passage. A full-page ll- nstration in the Popular Mechanics Mag azine. showing a sectional analysis or the projected bore, gives clear idea of the arrangement of the twin tubes. depth of channel, and the various strata underlying the bottom. At the center of it's length the tunnel dips to it's lowest grade for one mile, constituting water lock which could be floowed from the shore in case of military necessity.

 Since the war ended the people seem to thing relief and rescue work is not very important, but in my opinion if the Red Cross had been as thoroughly organized and active on the day of the accident the death list would have been kept down con- siderably.
 q am not crticising the Red Cros or anybody else, for the noble men and women who worked so faithfully and earnestly in that organization during the war deserve all the praise and commendation it is possible to give them, but with the urgent de-

The Importance ofOrganized Relief Work Shown by Riuer Tragedy, Says /. ". Morgan

mands of war over there seems to have been relaxation, due no doubt to the belief that there is nothing much to do now.
 We need organized effort for relief and rescue work for just such occa- sions as that of the Warrior river tragedy, for we do not know when nor where another, and probably even a more serious one, may occur. Ac- cidents occur every day and the smallest hamlet is no more free of them than the larger cities.
 When the launch capsized and threw it's passengers into the Warrior river every person in the vicinity did everything possible to save them, an through their heroic efforts many lives were saved.
 There were large number of women and girls in the party, and I had to perform certain duties that only a woman should have been called upon to do, but in the stress of circumstances I did all that I could.
 Organization of the Red Cross and other bodies formed for such work should be kept up and the citizens should aid them in every way possi- ble, whether by personal effort or with their. rnoney'
