PERSH|NC LIKELY
TO Be RETIRED
May Leave Army with Full
Rank as Result of Con-
spicuous Service.

The theory from overseas that
Gen. Pershing is to succeed Gen.
March as chief of staff is discredit-
ed by nearly every military author
ity in Washington. A probable So
luton of what to do with Gen.
Pershing, it is said here, may be
found in the retirement of Gen.
Pershing after thirty years of con-
spicuous service with the title for
life of general. Unprejudiced Off
GERS say that to give Gen. PershinS
the ONCE of chief of staff would be
to give him the hardest work in
the army to do and that it would
scarcely be just and certainly not
generous.
AS chief of staff he would have
the highest rank in the army be-
cause the title Of general goes with
the position. He would. however.
have the whole burden of detail on
his shoulders.

Notable Changes
In Peace Treaty
AS Huns Get 1t

ARIS. June l6.-The revised
- treaty of peace handed to the
Germans today contains assur-
ance of membership in the league
of nations in the early future"
provided Germany fulflls her obli-
cations.
This is a considerable concession,
though it does not meet the Ger
man demand for admittance to
membership Immediately upon the
signing of peace.
The new document meets the
German demand for corporation
with a German reparations COM
mission.
1t also puts the powers on rec
ord as willing to receive sugges-
tions for discharging the German
reparational obligations.
This opens the way to oral discus
sions the ermans asked for. but not
until peace is signed 1t removes the
grounds on which the Germans charg-
ed infringement on their sovereignty
and national pride, in the repsrational
transactions.

at a conference to be held near the
end Of this week. according to a state
ent issued last night by William +.
Ham. president Of the company.
"A scent fare for both the Wash

pany and the Capital Traction Com
pany would help materially in solv-
ing the present situation existing"
said Mr.. Ham. He offered figures
to show that the 2-cent transfer has
failed absolutely of its purpose.

Mr.. Ham is OF the opinion that
metal "takens," such as are used by
government agents. selling for cents
each. would eliminate the small
change nuisance. These metal tokens
could be sold in quantities of half a
dozen for 90 cents. he stated.
Instead of transfer passengers In
creasing in number at the normal
rate of 10 per cent. as figures for the
first five months of last year indi-
Gated, there has been actually a de-
crease of 2s.6 per cent, during the first
half of this month, Mr.. Ham said.
He stated that this would mean a
revenue of only s1s6.00o instead Of the
$685. 900 estimated by the utilities COM
mission.
Decrease In Passengers.
He added that the number of paid
passengers had decreased more than

transfers had been instituted. The
loss by reason of this, in addition to
the failure of the transfer plan, would

Mr.. Ham believes a straight scent
fare would help considerably. The
2-cent transfer proposition in that
event would become void.
The directors of the w. r. & e.

relief. The findings will be presented

probably Friday or Saturday.

DRAFT SHOWS HIGH
TUBERCULOSIS RATE

Of 15,621 men examined by draft
boards in twelve Ohio counties, 259
were tuberculous, according to re-
ports to the State Department of
Health. This, said the department
may be taken as q fair average
for tuberculosis prevalence among
men between Gland 81 years of age in
rural counties of Ohio.
In other words, it was said, one in
every 60 such men has tuberculosis.
This bears out findings made in sur
veys in other states.
Of these 259 tuberculosis sufferers,
191 were rejected by their local boards
and 68 were discharged soon after
entrance into the service, cases which
were not apparent upon first exami-
nation having come to light later.
Twelve of the SO county draft
boards in the state were considered
in these figures, counties having city
boards being excluded. City board re-
ports were said to be too incomplete
to furnish accurate statistics, although
tuberculosis is known to be a little
more prevalent in cities than in the
country.
Counties covered by the study,
with their totals of reflections and dis
chargs, are: Athens %, Coshocton 18,
