War Department
Speculates Upon
Pershing's Detail
Ambassador to Japan, Chief
of Staff, Governor of the
Philippines Are Among
Possible Posts Mentioned

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Sccretarv
Weeks's recent statement that he
would shortly announce detail to
duty for General Pershing "com-
mensurate with his rank has caused
considerable interest and speculation in
the War Department. Several possible
assignments for General Pershing whose
rank as General of the Army places
him above any routine detail have
been discussed by officials, it was said
to-day
1t has been rumored that the General
would retire to accept diplomatic
post, probably that of Ambassador to
Japan to succeed Roland Morris, whose
resignation Pres dent Harding recently
accepted. 1t is understood that this
would be the most acceptable diplo-
matte post General Pershing could be
offered. His service there years ago
as United States military attache
would tend to qualify him for the
lomatlc post mentioned for him is
Paris, but it is believed that if given
ms choice he would prefer Toxic at
this time.
on the other hand, large number Of
army officers believe that General Per
shlng either will be made Chief Of
Staff, to succeed Major General Pevton
=. March, or that Secretary Weeks will
seek from Congress legislation placing
the entire army on field basis with
MN as general of the army at the head
OF the organization. In the event that
such course should be followed. it
was said, the General would have a
Chle1 OF Stair exactly as he had Major
General Hartford as his principal as
sIstant and Chief of Staff in directing
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the war. W. Us
Another assignment frequently men
tloned IN connection with General
Pershlng is that of Governor General
OF the Philippines, but it is not bo-
heved that such a detail would be ac-
ceptable to him. A tour of the world
under the credentials of an envov OK
traordinary, similar to the tours made
by other Allied leaders after tie war.
also has been mentioned.
General Pershing has never broached
the subject of retirement to the new
Administration so far as can be
learned. More than a year ago, in a
letter to9Secretary Baker, he indicated
his desire to go on the retired list as
soon as he had completed important
duties on which he was then engaged.
Most Of those duties now have been
completed. Under the law General
Pershlng may retire at any time with
the full pay and allowances of his
rank, amounting to about $21, 900 a
wear

WASHINGTON, April 5-Attorney
General Daugherty intimated to-day

things bearing on any possible de-
cision.

by the story reported to have been told
at the department by a man named
Bullard, a former prisoner at the At
lanta institution, who visited the De
partment of Justice several days ago
IN connection with his release. The
former cellmate is said to have de-
clared that Debs told intinates at the
prison after his return from Washing
ton that he was to be pardoned. mot

Debs's words, according to Bulard.

dorsod, with the proviso that the re-
quest be made in case the agreement
for n consolidated service is incor-
porated in the final report submitted
to President Harding
DR.. Haven Emerson, chief Of the
medical division Of the War Risk
Bureau, testified that $1,000 beds would
be needed for the peak of the load of
cx-servicc men," which he estimated
would be between 1925 and 1927 He
said $4,000 beds were occupied at this
time.
"Undcr the present system asked
not give u damn who says how many
beds are available ~
"Thcrc is a very considerable delay
in obtaining that informatlon,' Or
Emerson reylied.
Dr.. White told the commission that
his committee investigated District
No. New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut-an found 3,215 beds
needed now, and that of the 3.015 beds
occupied at this time only 1000 were
satisfactory.
II have asked you to meet and make
an investigation of the administratio on
and impaired soldiers of the late
World War" said the Presidents
statement. There have been numer-
Gus complaints that the government is
neglccting the becoming care OF these
defenders, to whom it owes every con
sideration, and there is further com
plant that there is hardness in deal
ing with them and their claims which
grew out of their service.
Intentions Are Good
az should like YOU to make dilligent
inquiry of department heads or with
those associated with them. in an eff
fort to find out Just where the govern
ment agencies are in any way lacking
in authority, neglectful or failing tc
carry out what is the unquestioned
intent of Congress in its enactment OF
laws and the making of appropriations
There need be no inquiry into the in
tent of the government, because
think it is we'll understood that every
agency desires to deal justly and gen
erously with those of it's defenders
who were impaired in the nations de-
Tense.
II think it would be we'll, while you
are making inquiry as to the failure
to care for these service men, that
you also make inquiry into the abuses
which have developed, and look care
fully into the regulations adopted, sc
that you may know their probable ef-
feet in the future. 1t is we'll to real
ize that the American people want tc
prove the Republics gratitude to these
men.
"The regulations and policies adopted
at this time are likely to be in effect
for a full half century to come. In
order to deal justly with these men
and carry out a permanent policy, ii
is exceedingly important to start on
q firm foundation.
IL have asked Brigadier General
Sawyer to meet with your committee
and make available to you such infor
nation as you may desire, which he
has gathered as the representative OF
the Executive in investigating the re-
lations of the several departments of
of government dealing with this prob
lem. do not imagine your committee
will care to enter widely extended TAX
ing of testimony, but that you will be
able to gather from department heads
and officials responsible for the serv-
ice such information as you may re
Quire to pass judgment on the pro
gram adopted and make recommends
tons as to our future course"
