Attorneys Alfred Lucking and Alfred
G. Murphy peppered the examination
with objections on behalf of the plaintiff,
and Mr.. Lucking characterized the ex-
animation in the course of which Mr..
Stevenson again attempted to get the
witness to admit that he was an 'ignor-
ant idealist" as brutal and particularly
distressing to so modest man as Mr..
Ford.

before Mr.. Ford was recalled, the time
being consumed in the reading of por-

The purpose was to refute the state

Weaver as saying that the coast defense
system was adequate.
The Tribune lawyer. by following
General Weaver's testimony further
than the advertisement did, showed that
General Weaver said that the coast guns
were models of 1890 and would be un-
able to return the fire of modern naval
guns.

GENERAL s RANK
P[EAF0R MARCH
ASF0R PERSH|NC
President Starts Buzz of
Feud; Elevation of
Admirals, Too.

Washington, July 1S.-Fermanent
ranks of general in the regular army for
General Pershing and General March,
chief of staff, and permanent ranks of
admiral in the navy for Rear Admiral
Sims and Admiral Benson, chief of OPP
erations. were asked of congress. tpd9
by President Wilson.
The presidents message follows:
II take the liberty of calling your at
tention to a matter which / am sure is
at the heart of the whole country and
which / have had very much in mind
thruout all these months when we we're
trying to arrange a peace that would be
worthy of the spirit and achievements
of the men who won the victory in the
field and on the sea.
Precedence for PershIng.
"After mature reflection l earnestly
urge that you give the permanent rank
of general to John J. Pershing and Pey-
ton March, expressing the law in such a
way as to give precedence to General
Pershing; that you give the permanent
rank of admiral to William s. Benson
and William s. Sims.
'T take it for granted that / am only
anticipating your own tHOusUt III pro-
posing these honors for the men upon
whom the principal responsibility de-
volved for achieving the great results
which our Incompatible navy and army
accomplished"
The rank Of general which Pershing
and March now hold only exists in the
emergency army rapidly being disband-
ed. While in supreme command of the
American fleet in the war zone. Rear
Admiral Sims had the rank of full ad-
miral. but recently went back to low
er grade. Admiral Benson is soon to re-
tire after taking the navy thru the war
as chief Of operations.
Capital Teens With Feud.
No one in Washington would venture
if the presidents recommendations bore
any relation to the long reported fric-
ton between Pershing and March. There
is no official recognition of friction be-
tween the two generals, but army circles
on the inside fairly TEEN with it.
As talk in army circles has it. General
Pershing felt that many of his recon-
mendations from France ran a tortuous
course after reaching the chief of staff,
and the chief Of staff had some feeling
on remaining in Washington during the
war and as to whether the commanding
general of the army or the chief of staff
bore the credit for its operation.
