loud outcry that is now being heard
in army circles against inequality Of
rank IT a system hNd been devised of
dropping the overseas men one or two
grades instead Of three and four grades,
as has been the rule in demotions.
Critics of the War Departments
scheme assert that overseas major
generals could have been dropped to
ccolonels and assigned on staff duty
mere, or with troops, instead of re-
duclng these general officers to their
pre-war rank, which in many cases
were grades Of major and captain.
seas men have brought about such sit
uations as colonel who entered the
army in 1907, still serving under his
emergency or war rank and never hav
ing smelled the smoke Of battle over
seas, being superior to lieutenant
colonels, majors and captains who have
had twenty or more years Of expert
ence in the service and who served as
general officers with Pershing.
Colonel Pierce's Case Cited
Had the War Department, it is ar
gued, reduced these temporary officers
grades and given them assignment
with troops or in the staff posts in the
field the veterans of the A. E. f. could
have been readily switched into their
places in the general staff or the staff
corps, with the result that general sat-
isfaction would have prevailed instead
of the dissatisfaction and bitterness
that now exists.
In illustration Of the effect of the
demotion system critics cite the case
of Lieutenant Colonel Palmer E. Pierce,
yhn loI I~: ~.
New York National Guard Division in
France. Colonel Pierce was reduced
from brigadier general to lieutenant
colonel upon his return to the United
States. Although ranking as number
on the list of lieutenant colonels of
infantry he was assigned to the 42d
infantry as a lieutenant colonel junior
to Colonel Alfred j. Booth, who served
as an adjutant in the A. E. F. and thus
saw no combat service. Colonel Booth
stands SD on the list of captains in
The regular army.
Humiliation Charged
Another case to which attention is
called is that of Colonel W. II. John
ston, an infantry officer, who command
ed the 9lst Division in action and who
won the Distinguished Service Medal
the Distinguished Service Cross. the
Legion of Honor. the Croix de Guerre
and the Crown of Belgium. On his re-
turn to the United States Colonel John
ston was assigned to the War College,
and now finds twenty-three major gen
erals and forty-two brigadier generals
who never commanded a division in
action ranking him. Two of these brig
adler generals are captains in the regu-
lar establishment, who entered the ser
vice eighteen years after Colonel John
ston.
Numerous other cases, it is said,
could be shown where officers who have
passed virtually all their lives in the
military service and have only now
reached that point in their careers

MERCHANT MARINES
Will BE TRAINED AT
COLLEGES NEAR PORTS
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Sept. Ii More
than $4,000 merchant marine officers
have been graduated from the Ship
ping Boards training schools since
their establishment three years ago,
and IL per cent. of the graduates have
been licensed for service on sea, rec
ords of the Boards recruiting service
show.
Officers for the government owned
merchant marine are trained at Camp
Stuart, Va, San Francisco and
Seattle.
On the Pacific coast one wooden
ship carrying 1900 tons of cargo and
lis apprentices and new 1900 ton
steel vessel with space for LAG ap-
prentices operate on the triangular
run between Seattle, the Hawaiian
Islands and San Francisco.
1t is suggested that shore stations
be maintained where men from all
sections of the country can be assem-
bled and given instruction in seaman
ship, boat drill and other preliminary
work.
The men would then be sent to
sea in modern steel freight ships. 1t
is planned to place these ships in a
trade which would insure voyage
out and return in about 60 days. four
vessels on the Atlantic and two on
the Pacific.
Concurrently with the sea training
the recruiting service plans the estab-
lishment at collegs and universities
near the principal American ports of
a maritime commerce course which
would include accounting, business
correspondence. business principles,
economics, elements of statistics, mar
kets, transportation, principles of for
eign trade, exports and imports, Ian
guages, railroad and maritime rates,
business administration, business law,
admiralty law, advertising, ship oper-
alton and other basic subjects.
1t would be sought to so arrange
the course as to extend over a period
of four years with degree upon com.
pletion. Shipping Board officials be.
lieve this would build up and leave
many other well trained men in all
branches of maritime commerce.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
ISSUE "CAMOUFLACE"
SAYS SOCIALIST HEAD
nv Associated Press)

. CHICAGO, Sept 1.-THE big issue
in the Socialist campaign this fali Is
as usual private ownership OF the
means Of production, Otto Branstetter,
national secretary and campaign man
ager Of the Socialist party. said here
today discussing the Socialist cam
paign.
The League of Nations issue was
viewed by the Socialists as largely
camouflage," he said. The party felt
that the league question had been in
troduced by the old parties largely to
cloud the issues and keep the peoples
attention OF domestic issues.
Eugene v. Debs, the Socialist presi-
Dental candidate, in prison at Atlanta,
Ca. was not advising In the conduct
of the campaign to any extent. Use
was being made In party literature OF
what he said to Socialists visiting him.
The chief speaker in the campaign
is the vice-presidential candidate, Sey-
mour Stedman, of Chicago, REINFORCED
by 40 speakers or more under the ma
tional organization. He has completed
tour of the southwest and on Sept.
1 started for the Pacific coast. After
making a round of the central states
he plans to go east about Oct 1 for
the DdlduCe OIL Iu0 Cdupdl6u.
Secretary Branstetter said the party
expected to be on the ballot in prac-
tically every state where it has prev.
iosly had a vote of any consequence.
1t does not expect at this time to get
on the ballot in Vermont, Louisiana,
New Mexico, South Dakota, Idaho and
possibly in several other states in the
south and west.
The three big states this fall from
the Socialist standpoint, Branstetter
said, are New York, Wisconsin and
Oklahoma. He said the party expect.
ed to poll a larger vote in these states
than ever before.
A large part of the party member
ship outside of the foreign language
declarations has come back, The Social
| list executive reported, referring to the
| split last fall, which resulted in forma
ton of thee communist party and the
Communist Labor party.
! No policy of concentration in sec
tons where Socialist sentiment i.
strong will be carried on by nationa
headquarters, according to the part!
secretary. He said that the nationa
office was making the campaign a!
general as it could, leaving concentra
ton to the state organizations, which
could undoubtedly carry on such ,
policy in New York, Oklahoma an,
Wisconsin.

COAL SHORTAGE FELT
IN PORTUGAL OWING
TO ENGLISH EMBARGO
(By Associated Press)

LISBON, Sept. IA coal shortage
is being keenly felt in Portugal owing
to the prohibition of coal expectation
from England and the absence of any
good coal producing districts in this
country.
All coal for industries was imported
chiefly from Cardiff and Newcastle
and since that has ceased and orders
placed in the United States have been
cancelled, the situation threatens to
become serious and people are looking
forward with alarm to the coming win
ter. AS a result, all restaurants, cafes,
and places of amusement must close
promptly at midnight and external IL
Nominations are prohibited.
There is but little coal produced in
Portugal, which has been entirely de-
pendent on imported coal. For do
nestle purposes charcoal Is chiefly
used all over the country in small
earthenware stoves specially made for
its use. Now, however, even that has
disappeared as the price of fuel rose
to such an extent that the government
was obliged to enforce fixed prices. In
consequence, although there is plenty
of charcoal, farmers are not sending
ii to the market, hoping to obtain
ever increasing prices for wood.
In the meantime all Portugal is suf-
fering from utter absence Of coal and
people are obliged to buy wood when
It is obtainable. Middleclass and poor
people burn sawdust in small iron
stoves expressly invented during the
war for that purpose and also use i'm
pervious boves lined with straw that
finish cooking the food, after 1t is re-
moved, boiling, from the stove. Many
families unable to cook at home are
having their meals at the restaurant.
