OPINION RENDERED.
IN OFFICERS PLEA
Chief Justice Mccoy Upholds
Contention 'PIucking' Board
Should Give Notice.

Chief Justice Mccoy of the Distric,
Supreme Court today rendered his
opinion on the rights of Army officers
affected by the action Of the elimina-
ton or 'plucking" board. The cour,
had announced three weeks ago tina,
mandamus would have to be granted
against the Secretary Of War to com.
pei the reinstatement of Col. John
w. French and Col. William F.
Creery, victims of the plucking board
because of the failure of Secretar.
Baker to have the President of the
United States pass on the finding oil
the final clA1ihcation board.
In his optnfon rendered today hi
upholds the contention Of counsel tot
the Army officers that they are en-
titled to notice of the charges that
ing before the court of inquiry to de-
termine- the cause of their being
placed in class B. The claim of the
officers that they have a right 20 a
hearing before the Anal classification
cannot be sustained, the court finds.
No Reference Required.
The statute does not require a ref
erence to the adjutant general, the
court holds. and failure of an officer
to object to proceedings before the
court Of inquiry precludes him from
objecting in court that he did not
have complete record before that
tribunal
The War Department had urged
that Col. Creery might have been dis
charged under article 49, but the
court points out that he was not SO
discharged. -.oS
In answer to the contention of-the
department that. Col. French might
have recourse to the Court of Claims
in a proceeding for the difference in
salary where the question Of his title
to the Office of colonel could be
tried out. Chief Justice Mccoy points
out that the officer has no property
right in, the position. He has. how
ever. the court finds. been given a
status,> which he is entitled to have
maintained until deprived in manner
prescribed by Congress or changed
by an act OF the President. Man.
damus isf therefore the proper remedy.
the court finds.
!. 1t is expected the War Department
will appeal from the decision of the
court.

BERLIN, March 26.-The political
situation in Germany is growing more
critical every day. The latest anti
government demonstration here Is a
strike of all the employees OF the
largest store in Berlin. This is sup
posed to be in line with communistlc
action throughout central and north
ern Germany to overthrow the pres
ent government, and force a union
with soviet Russia.
The government buildings in the
capital are barricaded and protected
by trenches and barbed wire. All
streets leading to the barracks occu-
pied by government troops are pro-
tected by barbed wire and guarded
by soldiers in trucks bearing machine
guns. Soldiers armed with mana
grenades make the rounds OF the
principal headquarters OF the work

There are more green police now in

Ception Of a few skirmishes between
civilians and the police. nothing un-
toward has happened thus far in
Berlin.
The latest reports from the indus
trial districts of Saxony seem to in
dicate that the government forces
are losing, while the radicals are
increasing in strength. What the
government has feared most may
take place within the next few days.
The radicals in Saxony. as well as
ihose in the Ruhr region. who have
long been suspected of having large

ammunition, may make an organized
attempt to oust the government au-

45 STATES CHALLENGE POWER OF
 CONGRESS TO FIX R. X. RA TIES

Washington, Oct. 20-The first test of the power of Congress to fix rail- road rates within states was argued before the United States Supreme Sourt today. A total of 45 states are Joined in various suits in which this power Is challenged.
 The specific case argued today is that of the State of New York deny ing the right of the Interstate Com merce Commission to raise the pas senger rate on the New York Central within New York to s.6 cent per mile. Che constitutionality of the transpor- tatton act of 1920 Is attacked and will also be attacked in similar suits pending.
 The 45 states attacking the 1920 law have aligned themselves into two groups. The first group which fn- cludes New York. Texas and North Dakota, attacks the right of the Fed= eral government to fix interstate rates or roads whose rates have been pre- Fiously fixed by franchise contrac ct and stipulation.
