WASHINGTON. June 7.-Gcncrai

Secretary of War Baker. which the
general made public tonight.
Secretary Baker will reply to-
morrow. rendering the thanks OF the
War Department for General Perish
inE's distinguished service to the ma
tion and assuring him there is no
objection to his being relieved from
active duty.
News OF Pershing's announce
ment Immediately gave rise 10 spec-
ulations as to whether 1t was prompt
cd by desire to enter the race fo-
the Republican presidential nomina-
tIon
This speculation was quickened
when one OF his aids stated that
the general was planning to leave
for Chicago almost Immediately and
would remain there for several
days"
Later member of his household
denied that the general had any In
tcntion OF going to the convention

aside for the purchase of freight cars
and $5o,O00.0oo for the acquisition

arily TO aid in the acquisition OF co.
600 refrigerator cars for the move

Carriers unable to finance as much
as so per cent of the cost will be
