army RATINGS
CAUSE UNREST
Many Officers Protest At AlIeg-
ed Unfairness- Congress
Probe May Result.

Discomfort among officers Of the
army below the rank of colonel has
now become SO acute that crisis
ID speedily being reached and an
open congressional investigation now
appears = probability to many Of
those who are most strenuous in
their objection to the present method
of rating Of the commissioned per-
sonnel.
RATINGS CAUSE TROUBLE

Times two weeks ago. the former.
emergency officers who accepted reg
ulaF army commissions do not feel
they were given an even deal when
the ratings of the West Pointers were
taken into consideration. During the
rsst week attention was again di-
rocted to the situation by q decision
Of the War Department. 4
Col William F. Creary and Col.
John w. French, who formerly held
emergency commissions. appealed
from the decision of the Secretary of
War In the disposition of their cases
and in the District Of Columbia
courts their contention that the Presi-
dent could not delegate power over
promotions OF officers was upheld.
In spite Of this decision Secretary
Weeks has decided to proceed with
promotions of all officers on the pres
ent list and has announced his de-
cision to continue this regular rou-
tine, even though II is necessary to
carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court for support of his
right to handle the ratings of all Of
ficers of the army.
With q number of promotions dur
ing the week the Secretary of War is

For a test case glance thusly:
Col Robert N. Harper
Col. Wade II. Cooper.
Col. Frederic Louis Huidekoper.
Colonel Harper Is president OF the
District National Bank.
Colonel Cooper Is president of the
Continental Trust Company; presi-
dent OF the Union Savings Bank, and
president of the United States Savings
Bank.
Colonel Huidekoper is librarian of

FATE, OR WHAT
Is all this coincidence stuff a happy
whim of Fate, or does IL mean that all
one needs to become a bank official 10
TO have these attributes7 Hundreds OF
bankers do not fall into the COL-H-
PER class, and they seem to succeed,
but does IL mean that men or wome n
thus honored are. predestined to a
life on the money martr
In an endeavor to study this re-
Gently discovered phenomenon The
Times has dug into the careers of
these three men to see in what other
respects the three are similar.
The III" and per" part of the
predestined banker formula Is easy
enough to explain. The bankers
themselves never had a thing to dc
with these items, they will frankly
admit
But this title OF "CoL"-how DO they
annex that?
Colonel Harper was once a member
of the staff of Governor Montague
OF Virginia, for four years. and the
title has stuck with him ever since.
Colonel Huidekoper was made a
lieutenant colonel in September. 1915
after having worked up to that posi-.

at this juncure that all the elements in the boys

The kiss of his mother had become one of the most inn
portan things in that boys life When the crisis came
he turned to it intutively. The mothers love- perhaps
fully realized before opened to him as his first re-
fuge.
Memories of lulabys, of midnight vigils, of toll and
worry and sacrifice and unwaverng DEVOTION came upon
that boys mind and heart and soul in flood He could
resist that inclination kiss his mother than he
could at that moment re-mod his character.
Such boy may yield to temptations; bad companions

evidence against him may be conclusive but long as the

HEART OF JUDGE Is TOUCHED

Sum up all there is in this world, that is really worth
while and in the midst of it all be found nothing that
speaks eoquenty of the character of boy than
the kiss he gives his mother
Birmingham judge is somewhat of this opinion,
Last week he judged boys less from the evidence Civ
by witnesses than from the evidence presented by them
selves in their treatment of their mothers in court.
One boy, whom the Judge decided must go to the re
form school, tendcrly kissed his mother goodbye sinking
his misfortune in sympathy with the of his
mother The judge looked on and instantly decided that
there enough good in that boy to enable him and his
mother to work out his salvation.
At the moment another boy, whom the Judge had
announced would probably 60 free glanced meany at his
mother who sat weeping, and started to walk out That
boy went to the reform school.

for his mother No doubts it, 1t recognized every

Drowned in the sea is the dying sun,
Menacing clouds hang low
Moaneth the wind that the day is done;
Darkness reigns below
And my soul in mist of grief is drenehed,

Recalling lfe-lights long since quenched,
And starry crowns now lost.
And in fancy again see the CLEAN y

But see no more save in mocking dream,
Maddening worse than mirages sheen

Riseth the sun DER the shimmering sea;
Cloudless the morning sky;
Perfumed zephyrs from flowery lea
Reigneth the day on high.
Beyond the rise of the Eastern hills
Clearly now behold,
Far from sorrow and earthly ills,

A few more fiery sunsets famed,
