Pleads for Disabled Officers.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
In view of the very fair stand
which The Herald has taken in re-
gard to the fight which the dis
abIed emergency officers the world
war are making to eliminate dis
elimination in favor of the Wes'
Pointer in the matter of retirement
l am sending the following which
1 think, we'll represents the senti'
ments of the hundreds of thousands
who left civil life in answer to the
nations call. l the Bursum bill
Is passed 1t will do much to wipe
out the feeling Of disgust by the
volunteer officers towards the pro-
fessionals at a time when the Wal
Department needs the best possible
cooperation in the reorganization
work
Since The Stars and Stripes
will hardly be accused OF hav-
ing other than the enlisted
mans viewpoint. this news
paper feels that it speaks quite
conservatively when 1t urges
the justice Of the retirement al
lowance for officers. Admitting
that there were some officers
OF mediocre ability and many
enlisted men of exceptional
ability. and setting aside COM
pletely the notion that the Of
fcers were a peculiarly cap
able set of human beings or a
peculiarly gifted lot, the fact
remains that man for man as
everyday Americans, the emer-
gency officers were Q) older
men as a whole, ca men more
definitely settled in life and as
a lot earning more money, and
(3) more of them were married
and supporting families.
The third actor is the fost
important. A considerable num-
Der of citizens with families,
who felt that they could not
enter the service on a private's
pay and allowances under any
circumstances, were able to
enter it with commissioned pay.
A man in those circumstances,
becoming disabled, is often in a
pitiable pass he is reduced
to keeping his family on a lin
tied compensation allowance.
1T is well enough to say that
the enlisted man with a family
is in the same fix. 1t is well
enough to say that there should
be no class distinctions. But
when the United States accept
ed a man at, for example, a cap
tain's or a majors pay, 1t made
a distinction between his eco
nomic status and that of the
man who was accepted at a
private's pay. The distinction
helped the officer and his family
to live, and II Is quite unfair,
in case of his disability, to in
stantly take from him the fur
Their economic distinction always
allowed to officers, namely, re-
tirement pay.
There is nothing to be lost
to enlisted men by according re-
tirement pay to disabled emer-
gency officers. 1t is a notable
fact that organizations domi-
mated by former enlisted men
have favored the proposed act
of Congress. 1t is possibly true
that not every disabled emer-
Eency officer earned IL or needs
1t, but II is certainly true that
many of them did earn II and do
need 1t, and that to leave them
with anything. less is shameful.
When 1t Is kept in mind that
fewer than 5000 former officers
would be benefited, and that
most of them received their dis
abilities in combat action, there
appears to be hardly any sound
reason why every veteran
should not wish for speedy and
favorable relief for the disabled
officers"

THE HOUSE THAT JAZZ BUILT"

In THE House That Jazz Built,
which comes to the Grand theatre
June 10 and 90, is shown a young
couple starting out on their married
life, poor, hustling, and thoroughly
happy The wife is a splendid little
home-maker and a real help-mate.
Then the husband gets a fine posi-
ton with a huge salary, and they
move from their modest suburban
bungalow to a luxurious city apart
ment.
The husband lavishes money upon
his wife, insists on servants. and
asks only that the wife shall live up
to his new position. The result Of
her enforced idleness and his petting
is that in a few years the wife has
grown INDECENT, stout, dull, and quite
unattractive. The husband begins
to awaken to the fact that his wife
is no longer his ideal.
OF course at this critical juncture,
another woman, a frigid, heartless,
but beautiful and perfectly groomed
type, appears on the scene, The
husband inevitably contrasts her to
his wife, to the latter's disadyant-
age. and ends by leaving home and
succumbing to the other. The wife,
however, was born with a backbone.
She comes to her senses, exercises
and trains down. The result is that
she wins back her husband and routs

heroic fireman solves them all in due
time, in his own naturally humorous

"BREWsTERS MILLIONS"

Could you spend a million dollars
in one year, and come out at the end
Of that time flat broke" with no as
sets, and no wife to help you spend
It? This is no easy task as Fatty
Arbuckle, noted comedian, proves in
bis latest Paramount picture.
"Brewster's Millions" which will be
shown at the Liberty theatre June
IS and 10.
The picture is an adaptation of
the widely read novel of the same
title by George Barr McCutcheon,
and the famous play by Melville
Stone and Winchell Smith. Mr.. Ar
buckle plays the role of Monte
Brewster, fatherless, with two veal
thy grandfathers. One of the grand
fathers is an aristocrat and the other
a self-made man. Each wants the
boy reared in his own way. When
Monte is 25, Grandfather Brewster
gives him $1,O00,0O0. Grandfather
lngraham comes back with a propo-
siti0n to Monte that if he will spend
million in one year he will
give him five million in stock. From
this grows one of the funniest and
fastest plots that has ever been put
on the screen.
