The former Congressman from

involved one. requiring a great deal
OF personal application and inten-

Besides Colonel Miller is one OF
an inner circle OF Presidential ad-
visors. He is consulted on many inn
portant matters. especially those
which have TO do with military az
fairs. My office is by no means a
slnecure." said Colonel Miller. but
/ like IL all the more on that ac-
count. A position where there is no
work to do would be extremely dis
tasteful 1 like to keep going while
going is possible"
Colonel Miller and Postmaster
General Hays are particularly good
friends. They are often seen walk

dOus task he has assumed.
While disclaiming any particular

il to be his duty 20 give TO the Chief
Executive the benefit OF any aid that
he is able TO afford.
I have pledged myself 20 do
everything President Harding wants
me to do to aid in the big program
OF reconstruction upon which the
Nation under his leadership has en-
