GERMAN ENVOY
ARRIVES in U. S.
Baron Won Hermann, Who
Will Be Counsellor at En-
bassy, Almost Shabby.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-Germany's
first envoy to the United States since
the war. Baron Edmund Won Their
mann, who is to be counsellor to
the Ambassador, arrived today on
the northumberland Liner,
Hellig Olav
He wore clothes that appeared worn
and almost shabby. He said 1t will
be a great hardship for the German
government to run an embassy here,
because of the low rate of the mark
and the high cost of the American
dollars.
Baron Won Therman was a lieu
tenant of cavalry during the war on
the East front, where he was wounded
and captured by the Russians. re-
naming in a Siberian prison until
1918. when he was released undo, the
Brest-Litovsk treaty.
One of the first statements from
Baron Won Thermann was that he
had no concern with the Washington
conference on arms limitation.
France has nothing to fear from
Germany" the baron continued. Ger
many is absolutely disarmed. We
have fewer than 100, 900 in the armed
forces, and they are militia. Ger
many could not fight even il war
was forced upon her. The people
would revolt at the very idea of war.
so there is no need of apprehen-
sion along these lines"
Discussing conditions in Germany,
which he said were bad. Won Their
mann said that of the three classe 8

he said. The class corresponding to
the titled class before the war is
complaining of enormous taxes i'm
posed upon incomes, and the profess
sional class cannot get enough en-
ployment.
Speaking of the American occupa-
ton. he said the German people were
glad to have the United States SOL
diers in their country. With regard
to the indemnity. he said Germa ny
would pay it as long as she could.

THREE LEAD STRONG FIELD
SEEKING GESSFORD'S BADGE
Acting Superintendent Sullivan Has Support
Of Two Commissioners.

sioners there are many reasons why
Sullivan should receive the position.
He Is considered the ablest har-
monizer in the department and under
him. 1t is believed the factions,
which every police official admits
exists, will be rcconciled. Although
SIS years old he is in robust health
and the strain of the duties Of sup
erintendent, say those close TO him,
would not tax his strength.
Stranger Not In Favor.
While Sullivan has not been
mentioned by various civic societies
and citizens associations who have
lauded Maj. Gessford and depre-
Gated efforts to remove him, a large
number by resolutions and other
wise have gone on record as Wig
Crously opposed to a stranger sue
cecLing the major. Friday eve
ninS the Society of Natives speci-
neatly urged the Commissioners to
resist all pressure attempting TO
supplant the former superinte nde mt
with a stranger unknown to the
taxpayers and citizens of Washing
ton" Prominent members of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
interviewd yesterday, stated that
Il choice of a stranger would be
distasteful to the majority of the
citizens.
Col. stanton Is still a conspicu-
Gus candidate for the position de-
spite the ract that considerable OPP
position TO his appointment exists
among civic organizations because
OF his nonresidence. This, many
believe, Is more than neutralized
by the fact that Col. Stanton has
the support of so influential a fac
tor as House Leader Mondell who
in turn is supported by the New
York delegation headed by Hamil-
ton Pish.
Choice of Two Commissioners.
1t Is known that two Of the
Commissioners favor Sullivan while
the attitude of the other is doubt
Iul. I,,IuIts at the District Build
ing yesterday were that the choice
now lies between sullivan and
Walter Ferguson. of the White
House secret service.
In an order issued yesterday
Commissioner oyster recommended
that all members of the police and
fire department over 60 years old
be summoned before the Board of
Police Surgeons for physical exam
ination. It is desired by the
Commissioners to increase the eff
cheney of both departments and II
any of the fifty men 10 the police
apartment and the eleven in the
fire department are not physically
capable of extending their best
efforts they will be retired.
Maj. Gessford, il is expected, will
be retired on the maximum pen
SION of $3.50 a year. In accepting
his petition for retirement the
board of commissioners yesterday
thanked him for his loyalty TO
duty and fearless honesty which
have contributed the distinct sue
cess of your administration" The
Commissioners made public the
official report of the board of ex-
aminers which showed that Maj.
Gessford was ill and wholly IN
fitted for the performance OF his
duties
