President Wells stated. Crime and

policemen or Indifference of the po-

No Brief Against Chief.
President Wells pointed out that the

city to congratulate Maj. Gessford on
his accession to the superintendency
of police. and that the body held no
brief against him at all. but that

NAVAL AND COAST GUARD
OFFICERS SUE SHIP BOARD
Question Involved Whether Those
on Other Pay Rolls May Be Paid
for Services Rendered.

The right Of naval and coast guard
officers on the active list to receive
compensation from the United States
Shipping Boards Emergency Fleet
Corporation. while drawing their
regular pay is raised in three suits
filed today in the District Supreme
Court.
Capt. Godfrey L. Garden of the coast
guard asks a judgment for $7,01S
against the Shipping Board for serv-
ices as special representative of the
corporation at Buenos Aires.
Capt. Paul Foley, U. S. N, wants
$500 for services as executive officer
for the Shipping Board.
Commander Frank P. Baldwin, U.
S. N, seeks to recover $694.45 for
services as acting manager Of con-
1920.
The Shipping Board, it is under
stood, has refused payment on the
plea that the officers were receiving
their regular pay and allowances for
the period when their services were
rendered.
The District Supreme Court some
months ago upheld the claim of a
retired naval officer to compensation
from the Shipping Board, in addition
to his retired pay. but no case has
heretofore been presented on the
question of the status Of an officer
in active service. and receiving the
full allowances of his grade.
Twelve other cases are said to
depend on the decision of the court
in the three cases filed. Attorneys
Frank s. Smith and William H. Stay
ton, jr.. appear Tor the officers.

STARTS
BALLOON INQUIRY
Little Hope Five Airmen
Starting From Pensacola
Will Ever Be Found.
BY the Associa ted Press.


Acting Secretary Roosevelt has
started a personal inquiry into the
fight of the naval free balloon which
left Pensacola. Fla. March %. with
five men aboard. and has not since
been heard from. The inquiry is pre-
paratory to ordering the usual board
of investigation. which probably will
not be designated until Secretary
DENLY returns from Guantanamo April 5.
Mr.. Roosevelt said today that the
Pensacola affair. coming on the heels
of the balloon flight from Rockaway.
L. l.. to Moose Factory. Ontario,
would undoubtedly result in tighten
ing up orders regarding such flights
in future.
While the department has not Off
cially given UP hope for the five men
in the Pensacola balloon. it was ad-
mitted that little hope was enter
tanned that the men would ever be
found. The search is still in progress
in the hope that the gas bag will be
along the Florida coast and that the
men are slowly making their way
back to the inhabited area.
In commenting on naval aviation
affairs Mr.. Roosevelt announced that
he did not favor unification of the
Army, Navy and post office air serv-
ices, a proposal which has been agi-
tating the services and many MEM
bers of Congress for the past two years.

GEN. MARCH MAY SELECT
HIS OWN new COMMAND
Much Interest Aroused in Army
Circles in Assignments Which
Will Be Available.

On the presumption that Maj. Gen.
Peyton c. March is to be relieved
shortly of his present duties as chief
of staff at the War Department there
is speculation as to his prospective
assignment to duty. 1t is generally
considered probable that he will have
command of one of the nine corps
areas. but there is considerable diff
ference of opinion as to which par
ticular one.
The only one in which there is a
vacancy at present is the 9th Corps
Area, with headquarters at San Fran
cisco. That command was vacated
few days ago by the statutory retire.
ment for age of Mai Gen. Hunter Lig-
gett. Other similar commands will
become available, however, in a short
time. through expiration of the regu-
lar tours of service of the incum-
bents, and in the case of the 9Th
Corps Area at Fort Sheridan, Ill. by
the expected relief of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood in few months to en-
able him to accept the presidency of
the University of Pennsylvania
Among the other high commands
Canal Department, commanded by Gen.
Chase w. Kennedy: the Hawaiian De-
partment, commanded by Gen. Charles
c. Morton, and the command of the
American forces in Germany, now
under Gen. Henry T. Allen.
Though Gen. Allen already has ex-
Gee. ed the usual term of foreign
service, it is not considered probable
that he will be relieved of his present
command unless the troops are to re-
main in the Rhine country beyond the
present year.
1t is intimated in high circles that
Gen. March will be asked to indicate
his preference among the available
assignments.

Corrects Report Of Crusade Against
Tobacco and for Blue Laws.

Tobacco and for Blue Laws.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue Of March 21 appeared
an article headed "Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union Fight To-
bacco and Sunday Laxness" This
article, which first appeared in the
Chicago Tribune, and which seems
to have been quoted all over the
country. states that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was
about to launch a campaign against
tobacco and in favor Of the so-called
"blue laws for Sunday observance.
Quite specific details Of the cam
paign were given. all of which were
utterly false in spirit and in letter,
save that for the fact that following
the custom of many years standing
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union has issued a. call for
it's annual day of prayer for the
better observance of the Lords day
have been pleading since there was
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. as we have also advocated a
day Of rest for working people.
1t is we'll known that since its in
ception the Woman's Christian Tenn
the young the effects of tobacco on
the human system, and has been try
ing. in common with the educators
and physicians. to stop it's use by the
immature. We have also deeply de-
plored the use Of cigarettes by our
girls, but that we are entering on q
campaign on either of these subjects
is absolutely false.
We are in a membership campai gn,
since our program of work in Ameri-
canization, child welfare, social mo-
rality, Christian citizenship and kim
dred subjects, rs well as our interest
in the enforcement of the law Of pro-
hibition, calls for more workers.
1t may be of interest to the public
to know that for more than forty
years the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has been working for
and child welfare
under less high-sounding names. 50
that we have adopted the new names
to an old old work.
In closing. let me again deny most
elnphaticalIy that the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union is seeking
either to take tobacco from its adult
users or foist any blue laws upon the
public.

President, Woman's Christian Tenn
