ANSELL'S REPLY
TO Gen, CROWDER
PIGEON-HOLED
War Departments Treatment
of Colonel Denounced
in Letter by New York
Representative.

Washington, March 1l.-Lieut.
Col. Samuel T. Ansell, former act
ing judge advocate general. sub
mitted a statement to Acting-Secre-
tary Crowell today in reply to the
letter of Maj. Gen. Enoch H. Crow
der, Judge advocate general, to Sec
rotary Baker on the controversy
over the administration of military
justice. Because of certain refer
ences concerning him made by Gen.
Crowder, Colonel Ansell asked that
his statement be given the same
publication as that of the Judge ad-
vocate general.
Colonel Ansell's statement was
not made public. Soon after it was
submitted, Representative Gould of
New York gave out copies of let
ter he wrote Secretary Baker today
regarding the discharge of Colonel
Ansell from his wartime commission
as a brigadier general. Representa-
tive Gould told the secretary he
was unable to. escape the conclu-
sion that the War department had
deliberately and ruthlessly adopted
this method of furnishing a public
spirited and efficient officer, whose
sole offense was against powerful
and self-centered clique in your de-
partment, in that he answered a
summons which he could not decline
and told the congress of the United
States the truth about a matter
which it was clearly the duty of con
gress to inquire into"
General Crowder made the speci-
fic charge against Colonel (then
General) Ansell, that the latter had
moved in an irregular way to secure
his own appointment as acting judge
advocate general and the relief of
General Crowder from any direct
connection with that Office. The re-
ply submitted by Colonel Ansell is
understood to be addressed to this
charge rather than to further dis
cussion of the controversy over mill
tary justice matters.

variety of passengers common to
local trains, with the usual quota
of crying babies and querulous chill
dren.
One day coach seat-half a seat,
in fact--was discovered and as the
secretary declined it, General March
took it, and Mr.. Baker soon went
to the smoker, which was not quite
so crowded.
AT one point, where the train trav-
els two miles up blind side track
at Polk City, it has to back out to
the main line again.
This aroused General Mareh's
curiosity. He thought it might be
desire to demonstrate that the en-
CINE could travel both ways, but he
found his solution when the train
stopped. took on a passenger, and
started forward again.
"See," he said, they passed up
that fellow the first time" and he
marveled that any railroad could
be so accommodating.

RAILROADS TO
RAISE FUNDS ON
U. S. WARRANTS
Machinery Devised Through
Which Loans Will Be Made
Available in Lieu of
Appropriation.

Washington, March 11.-Railroad
executives and government repre-
sentatives today laid the foundations
for the machinery through which
loans of banks and the war finance
corporation will be made available
to railroads during the next few
months in lieu of the funds which
cognress failed to provide.
After conferences between a num-
Der of leading railway corporation
officers and officials Of the war fl
nance corporation and railroad adj
ministration, special finance COM
mittee of seven, headed by Howard
Elliott, president of Northern Pa
cific, was. created by the railroad ex-
ecutives to cooperate with govern
ment agencies as clearing house
for financial arrangements.
Swagar Sheriey of Louisville, who
has Just retired after serving 10
years in the house Of representa-
tives, recently as chairman of the
house appropriation committee, was
appointed by Director General
Hines as director of the railroad
administrations division of finance,
succeeding John Skeleton Williams,
resigned. On Mr.. Sherley, who will
take office April IS, will fall much
of the work Of administering the
financial plans yet TO be developed.
To Issue Warrants.
An important feature of the finan-
cial mechanics of the arrangements
to be made is the issuance by the
railroad administration of govern
ment warrants to railroads for the
due them on settlements
of last years accounts and other
debts. These warrants, virtually GER
tificates of Indebtedness, would nor
be cashed until congress appropri-
ates funds at the next session but
would serve as collateral for loans.
The loans would be arranged by
each railroad company individually
with its bankers. or in special cases
with the war finance corporation.
The railway executives special
committee, together with the railroad
administration financial agencies
would facilitate the negotiation and
of these loans. Com
panies whose financial strength was
not great might be helped by the
administration which will
get some funds through repayment
BY railroads of advance already
made to them.

FIGHTING In
BERLIN KEEPS
ON With FURY

play into the hands of the Sparta
ans by demands that the volunteer
troops be withdrawn from Berlin
Many independents are known to
ae fighting in the Spartacan ranks.
The governments preparations to
put down the revolt indicate that
orce will be used to the utmost.
The government military COM
manders expect that it will take at
least two days of steady fighting
to capture Lichtenburg and the sub
urbs Of Kopenick, Weisensee and
Rummelsburg, all on the eastern
outskirts of Berlin. There COM
munists, with help from the criminal
and hooligan elements, continue to
offer stout opposition. Government
.roops are taking no prisoners.
Now Fight Insurgents.
The government forces have also
the task of combating the insurgents
who are separating into small bands
and terrorizing districts which here
iofore had been unmolested
One Spartacan band last night
succeeded in taking a machine gun
into a house opposite the barracks
Of the guard regiment on Friedrich
strasse north OF Unter-den-Li
They bombarded the barracks. An
other squad threw baud grenades in
to the courtyard of the building oc-
cupied by the sem-oficial Wolff
news bureau.
The possibility of an outbreak in
Spandau has been met by the gov
eminent by the disarmament of
pioneer troops whose loyalty was in
question
The order calling off the general
strike was obeyed only partly.

the responsibility placed upon him
by the committee on committees,
and realizing what the new job
means, said to The Bee CORE
spondent as his first official utter
ance:
Il appreciate very greatly the
honor the republicans have con-
ferred upon me. | feel very keenly
the responsibility of the position
and how much depends on my be-
;~g able to fill the position in a
helpful and useful way.
"It is my desire and purpose to
assist the republican majority in
carrying out an enlightened policy
of constructive legislation.
"My ability to serve and the &C
complishment of that purpose will
depend wholly on the cooperation
of the republicans in congress,
which / earnestly desire, and which
| confidently expect, to have"
Ex-Congressman Sloan, who has
taken as much interest in the work
of the committee on committees as
if he were member of the next
congress, and who is jubilant over
Mondell's selection as floor leader,
said today: "The pride of Nebraska
republicans should be gratihed in
the election of their stalwart re-
publican neighbor, F. w. Mondell,
to leadership in the house.
'His long service, eminent ability
and answering republicanism at
once fit him for the position and
gives an example that statesman's
deserts are sometimes recognized
and awarded by his colleagues.
Geographically the speakership
in Massachusetts, and the majority
leadership in Wyoming effects de-
sired balance as is also the case in
the natural bent of the two selected
leaders, one being a rather ultra
conservative, as his location would
indicate, and the other from the west
where wholesale progressive ten
denotes within the party are and
should be highly esteemed.
Il forecast for the newly organ
lied republican majority a term of
seriously demanded and successful
constructive legislation"
Green Likes Choice.
Congressman Green of Iowa said
of Mr.. Mondell's selection: "Mr.
Mondell has served % years in con-
gress but is young in appearance
and action. He is not one of the
best speakers in the house, but his
remarkable readiness in debate and
quickness ofretort peculiarly qualify
him for the position of floor leader.
His selection was very gratifying
to the western members as the east
had obtained the speakership and
the republican floor leader in the
senate was also from that section"

AIR TRAINING
TO Be CONFINED
TO Two FIELDS
/ Tiers Retained Who Desire
to Remain Permanently in
Service; Mitchell Re-
places KenIy.

Washington, March ll.-Coinci-
lent with the announcement today
hat Mai. Gen. William L. Kenly
rad been replaced as director OF
military aeronautics OF the army by
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, il was
earned that orders have been issued
or the cessation OF aviation train
ng at all fields in the United States
Except two, to be designated by
Mai Gen. Charles T. Menoher, d.
eetor of the air service. These in
Ytructions take effect March Is and
hereafter the work done at other
fields than the two to be selected
will have to do only with the stor-
lge and maintenance Of equipment.
Reduction ALI Along Line.
All personnel that can be spared
will be discharged by March 81 and
he fiers at the two training fields
be kept in operation will be, so
lar as practicable, those who de-
sire to remain in the permanent
military establishment.
These orders represent a new ef-
.ort TO keep rehabilitation up to
schedule and get the total of dis
charges over the 100000 mark by
he end Of the present month"; The
sancelling Of Gen. Kenly's war-tim
rank and his assignment to his own
branch of the service. the field army,
II his permanent rank of colonel.
was said to be in line with this pol
ey of reduction all along the line.
The orders also were interpreted
as Signalling the new status of the
lir service which is developing and
he fact that General Menoher has
actually taken hold Of the entire ser
vice, both production and operation,
after devoting nearly two months to
studying the situation, during which
time he did not interfere with the
methods he found on his return from
France, where he commanded the
Forty-second (Rainbow) division.
Combined Under Single Head.
The appointment of General
Menoher after the resignation of
John d. Ryan, formerly civilian d.
rector and assistant secretary in
charge of aviation matters, meant
that the air service was to be com
bined for peace purposes under a
single head, since the bulk of pro-
luction problems ceased with the
termination of hostilities. 1t also
meant that two major generals were
assigned to this consolidated service
and accounts, in the opinion of Off
GERS, for General Kenly's return TO
his regular army rank. General
Mitchell was an aviator before the
war when the service was under the
signal corps and virtually all of his
lutv in the army has been in the
aviation branch
General Menoher has not yet de-
signated the fields at which training
for she air service is to continue and
officers had no suggestions to make
Is to his probable selections.
About 80 aviation fields and CEN
tiers were in operation during the
war. In selecting two of these it
was said that General Menoher I'M
doubtedly would be influenced by
year-round weather conditions. This
would imply the selection of some
5f the southern fields.
