Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Referring to our conversation of a
few days ago, wish to say it has long
been my desire to return to civil life.
Throughout by military career l have
been very much occupied, and the as
signments that have fallen to my lot
during recent years have been more
or less important.
1t now appears that my duties are
not likely to be of q character that
Will require more than portion Of
my time. Under the circumstances I
feel that after the completion of work
contemplated by the army reorganiza-
ton act could relinquish military du-
ties without detriment to the service
| and thus be free to engage in some
thing more active. Therefore, unless
situation should develop to justify
my remaining, l contemplate taking the
step indicated within the next few
| months
Should the necessity arise in the time
| of crisis or otherwise assure you, Mr..
| Secretary, that l shall stanG ready to
serve my country IN the future as l
have in the past.
With great respect and high esteem
| I remain,

SUMTER UNLIKELY
TO HOLD PRIMARY
STATE COMMITTEE MUST FUR.
NlSH FUNDS :.

Americus, Mar. 2S-Whatever ac-
tion the State Executive Committee
may take regarding the candidacy of
Thomas E. Watson in the presidential
primary in Georgia, Sumter county
voters will lave no opportunity of ex-
pressing their preference between the
various candidates.
Fred p. Arthur, secretary of the
County Executive Committee, today
stated that unless the State Executive
Committee provides funds to defray
the expense Of the election there
will be no preferential primary held
in Sumter county. He will write Sec
retary Hiram Gardner tomorrow re-
garding the matter and he entertains
little hope that the necessary funds
will be furnished by the state organi-
cation.
The Sumter county primary has al
ready been held and voters here have
little interest in the squabble which
mas developed in State politics, since
the action of the State Committee in
excluding Herbert Hoover as a can
didate, according to Mr.. Arthur
