SuppIanting of Barnett
Rated as ''PubIic Insult" by
Representative Britten

The supplanting of Maj. Gen. Bar
nett by Maj. Gen. John A. Lejuene
came as big surprise to the major
ity members of the House committee
on naval affairs and to members of
Congress generally.
Representative Thomas Butler of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the House
committee on naval affairs, whose son
Corps, and who was a vigorous critic
of Maj. Gen. Barnett on the floor of
the House when an effort was made
to obtain for him the rank of lieuten-
ant general said today:
Il know nothing 1t all about this.
I had nothing to do with it. / have
no comments to make"
Representative Britten's Views.
Representative Fred Britten of I1li-
rois. who ranks next to Chairman
Butler, was greatly upset by the ac-
ton of Secretary Daniels.
IF Congress were in session
would Immediately introduce reso-
luton to bring out the facts in this
would go. through both houses of
Congress with a rush. I will intro
duce such a resolution in December
Il had heard six months or more
ago that Secretary Daniels was look
post away from Gen. Barnett. He has
been fumbling around all this time
I understand he is making a great
play that Gen. Lejeune's services
abroad better fit him to take COM
mand.
IT. don't think that Cen Barnett
should thus be publicly insulted after
the wonderful record he has made.
Gen. Barnett is well and honorably
known throughout the world for his
achievements. During the last six
years. under his administration the
Marine Corps has been the most sue
cesSful Of it's entire existence. This is
due to Gen. Barnett. and the type of
men with whom he surrounds himself
The men in the corps all love him and
would go through hell for him.
Regarded Ms "PubHc Insult.
Secretary Daniels action comes as
a public insult at the close of a won
the nation. Gen. Barnett is tremen-
dously popular in Washington and all
over the United States.
ut would not surprise me if Presi-
dent Wilson had not been properly
informed of the situation. When the
a congressional investigation. 1 be-
lieve it will be found that the Presi-
dent in approving the action of Sec
rotary Daniels did not understand the
conditions and circumstances. I am
sure that the President would not ap-
L
feel the utmost regret that this sum-
mary action was taken"
Representative P. II. Kelley. repub-
lican. Of Michigan, a member. of the
naval affairs committee. said that he
had no intimation that any such
action was contemplated. Il never
heard anything -derogatory about Gen.
Barnett or his administration of the
office that would be a cause for his
removal" said Representative Kelley.
Representative Joseph Walsh. re-
publican, of Massachusetts,, said:
II regret that the Secretary of the
Navy found it necessary to call for
sEen. Barnett's replacement. / do not
|khow on what his course may have
been based, but as a member of Con-
Eress and having dealings with that
branch of the Navy Department
have found it most efficiently admin
istered. l believe that the administra-
tive heads, of the Marine Corps have
accomplished wonderful work."

ity was recognized before the war,
however. by the officers with whom
he was graduated from the War Col
lege here.
Although the term of commandant
is for four years, 1 told Gen. Barnett
at the time of his appointment that
he might be relieved before that time.
This was in accord with the policy of
appointing all the bureau chiefs dur
ing the war. Gen. Barnett under
stood perfectly the agreement"
No Written Agreement.
Secretary Daniels. in reply to ques-
tions. stated that there was no writ
ten agreement made between himself
and any of the officers who were ap-
pointed to high rank during the war
His statement was in regard to a re-
port to the effect that written and
signed designations had been given
all officers upon their appointment.
and that when the Secretary wished
them relieved he dated the resig-
nation and put it into effect.

ment with any of the officers" said
the Secretary. which was not as good
as the officers word

iels is breaking no regulation, though
the action may be precedent.
The relations between Gen. Barnett
and the Secretary, it is understood,
have always been cordial, and Secre-
tary Daniels has taken occasion sew
eral times to recognize the ability
with which Gen. Barnett has fulfilled
his duties. He was the one who rec
commended him for the distinguished
service medal.
The appointment of Gen. Lejeune
and Gen. Barnett's replacement came
today after a number of rumors had
gone the round to the effect that the
Secretary was to begin a wholesale
slashing and cutting, in relieving Of
ffcers who served in high rank dur
ing the war.
Admiral MCGOWAN RumOr.
Asked about a story to the effect
that Rear Odmiral Samuel MCGOWAN,
