COMPLAINS TO SENATE

Strong dcnunciation of an alleged
tendency TO miiitarize the Civil
Service is contained in a letter from
Martin A Morrison. president OF
the Civil Service Commission. to
Senator Thomas sterlirs. of North
Dakota, which was inserted In the
Senate record yesterday by Senator
Sterling.
Morrison cited provisions in ap-
preparation acts for replacing civil
ians with enlisted men, who there
after perform: civil duties. though
retaining a military status.
Civilians Lose Vote.
! He cited the army appropriations
act Of August 3. 1912. giving 1000
civilian positions in the Ordnance
Corps to enlisted men. The army
appropriations act OF August 20.
1916, Morrison charges. changed the
status Of headquarters clerks to
army field clerks, thus throwing out
1000 civilians.
The present reorganization bill,
declares Morrison. rroposes replace
mcnt of civilians by enlisted men
in the War Department TO a con-
siderable extent.
TT proposes" said Morrison, ''the
distribution OF 2T.20o enlisted men
throughout the several services of
the War Department where no en-
listen men were employed before
the war, and Indicates a tendency
to militarize the Civil Service of
the entire department"
Charges MiIitarism.
Section 12 of the army reorgan-
ization act authorizes the President
to maintain a permanent personnel,
which includes more than 263,200
| enlisted men. Section Is allows 20
per cent, or at least 6o,536 enlisted
men to receive additional pay for
specialized work in the perform
ance OF which no military authority
Is required. The proposed basis of
pay of enlisted men runs as high
as 800 a month, with additional
pay for specialized work Of $50 a
month.
The Commission called the at
tention of the Senate and House
committees on military affairs to
these provisions which 1t regards as
Objectionable. 1t is detrimental to
the service in general and repug-
| nant to our form of government"
The state of affairs outlined in
this letter is neither just nor salts

SAYS POLICY
WAS WILSON'S
Daniels Forced to Abandon
Safety First Plan,
Sims Declares.

Secretary Daniels pursued a
safety first" naval war policy un-
til President Wilson demanded a
bold and audacious" course, Rear
Admiral Sims declared in the Senate
Naval investigation yesterday.
Witnesses for Daniels substan-
tiated his criticisms, Sims said, and
confined themselves to explaining
and accounting for the alleged mis-
takes rather than denying them.
Hope of. an early end to the Sem
ate inquiry was abandoned by the
committee yesterday when Sims ap-
peared with a prepared statement
of voluminous size.
He said Daniels statement to the
committee was remarkable alike
for it's mistakes and misinterpreta-
tions, and for its unrestrained as
sault upon my services in the war"

REHABILITATION
BELIEVED FAIR
Thos. W. Hume Submits
Advance Report Showing
Reproduction Costs.

Preliminary government reports
on the cost OF reproducing the rail-
roads of the United States more
than sustain the aggregate prop
erty investment accounts of the
railroad companies. according to an
analysis of the government figures
submitted to the advance freight
hearing yesterday by Thomas w.
Hulme, of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hulme, who addressed the
hearing as vice chairman OF the
valuation committee OF the carriers,
stated that when the inventories
were completed for all the roads
they undoubtedly would show a re-
production cost on 1914 prices in
excess of the carriers own invest
ment statements and on the basis
of the present prices the total
would be far in excess of this.
The aggregate railroad property
Investment, as claimed by the car
riers in reports presented to the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
the opening of the present rate
hearing, is $2o,616.0o0.000 This ig-
ure, Mr.. Hulme said, would be more
than sustained on the 1914 repro
duction costs, while the application
of 1920 prices to the inventories
would add billions more. Mr..
Hulme pointed out that the gov
.ernment preliminary reports cover
ed a number of roads recently in
the hands of receivers and very few
of the larger and stronger COM
panies.

their intensely anti-British decla-

Bolshevist invasion of Persia is the
first step toward the great attack
on the British empire in the East,
which was planned in Moscow and
Berlin at the close of the world
war.
At a secret meeting of Persian
and other Oriental nationalists
here it was stated the Bolshevists
are acting in accordance with

collapse by the so-called Oriental
department" of the Teuton foreign
office and THE Bureau of Op-
pressed Nationalities," founded by
the BolsheVist Foreign Minister
Chfcherine. The British govern
ment was repeatedly warned of
this plot
One of the Persian Nationalist
chiefs here said:
AS a social doctrine, Bolshevism
has no chance whatever in Persia
Persia has no Industrial proletariat.
On the other hand Persia has no
army capable of resisting the Red
invasion The British troops of oc-
cupation, while strong enough to
hold the Persians in awe, are too
weak to give battle to the Bolshe-
visits The Persian people regard
the Bolshevists as liberators.
The only way to prevent Persians
from joining the Bolshevists is to
convoke a Persian parliament and
submit the Anglo-Persian treaty to
Its decision Such a parliament un-
dcubtedly would reject the treaty
In its present form, but would con-
clude q new treaty, compatible with
