FLORIDA SENATOR WANTS
 pRJVATE GIVEN ATTENTION

Washington, January S.-tSpecial. l-Sen- ator Trammell of Florida formally de- clares that by withholding unanimous consent. he will block all efforts to pro- mote general officers until the Congress has done something for the private sol der who fought the war.
 This assertion was made when sen ator Wadsworth of New York. chairman of the military committee of the senate presented for consideration the commit tees bill creating the rank of lieutenant general in the United States army. Under questions of Senator Smoot of Utsh, Senator Wadsworth explained that the committee in preparing the bill had Tn mind General March, chief of staff; Gen eral I.iggett commander of the First army and General Bullard, commander of the Second army, for promotion to the permanent rank of lieutenant general
 Following the statement of Senator Wadsworth. Senator Trammell said: MT President six months ago I introduced a bill providing for additional recognition and reward to the rank and file of the American army. As yet, I have heard or no favorable report on that measure, or on any other measure of a similar char acter Untii Congress sees proper to give. as T see it. the proper recognition and reward to the rank and file of the | army, I propose to object to further pro- motions in rank and increase in compen-
 sation to higher officers. Therefore, | object to the consideration Of this bill al | this time.
 | Senator Trammell permitted it to b.
 known that he is not opposed to the pro- motion planned for the three officers concerned, one of whom, General Bullard lis an Alabamian. It is his point tha | something must be done for the privat soldier, regarding which the republican maiorities have talked much but don' nothing.

By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January s.-(Special.)- Charles F. Wood, general manager of the Port of Birmingham company, is dis guste,i because of alleged "hair-spltting'' which prevents the promulgation of rates under which real trial of Warrior river possibilities can be made.
 Mir. Wood, in letters to members of Congress and to G. A.

He is especially caustic in his comment re- garding MT, Trimble, assistant to MT, Tomlinson. who. Wood alleges, seems to be running things" Mir. Tomlinson has made no comment on the Wood at- tack.

Admiral Niblick reached the station before Admiral Jellicoe's empar rassment was acute, but it is true that there was no one to meet him.
 No crowd of cheering people greeted the naval hero. Nevertheless he was the admiral of the only naval fight, ana ne was the man who, assisted by Admirai Sims. directed the remarkable enterprise of transporting the American army 10 France without material loss.
