CROWDER
RETIREMENT BILL

An attack upon the measure to re-
tire Mai. Gen. Enoch Crowder as a
lieutenant general in view of his, serv-
ices in handling the army draft dur
ing the war was begun in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Chamberlain. OF
Oregon. former chairman OF the Mill
tary Affairs Committee.
Senator Chamberlain asserted that
while Gen Crowder received credit
for most of the effective work in ad-
ministering the draft law. the real
work was done by others. He charged
that Crowder and Secretary Baker
have resolved themselves into a
mutual admiration society. invariably
exchanging their compliments in all
their communications and references
to one another.
Senator Chamberlain proposed an
amendment to the bill to provide that
a number of other officers who rem
dered distinguished sefvice during the
war be added to the bill. so that when
they retire they shall receive the
same rank as the bill proposes to
give Gen Crowder. In this list the
Senator included Gems. Hunter Lig-
gett. Leonard Wood. ]. w. Mean
drews. James G.. Harbord. Robert l..
Bullard. Harry l. Rogers. w. e.
Langfitt and Fuller.
