kept in the background. There are
equitable methods provided by law to
cover this particular case. II Maj.
Peck was at fault in rendering an i'm
proper inspection report. the facts
must be in evidence, otherwise no
disciplinary action should be taken.
There is no getting away from the
effect Of condign punishment Of any
officer in the Army without due proc
ess Of trial by court-martial. II
Maj. Peck was disqualified for pro-
motion by reason OF inefficiency. the
law provides for a board Of officers
now In session to recommend the dis
charge or retirement of any incom-
petent officer. The effect produced by
the recent verdict in the Peck case
is extraordinary, inasmuch as the
Secretary of War. a majority of mem
bers df the Senate military commit
tee. and the best judgment Of the
War Department advocated confirm
ing the nomination of the officer pro-
nounced by them as qualified for pro-
motion.

weeks finally arrived in Constanti-

future has in store for this Armenian
youngster cannot be forstold. 1t is
impossible for him to remain on the
Overton. but according to this story
which reached the ears of Secretary
Denby, every effort is being made to
find a home in Constantinople where
the boy will receive proper care and

Denial By Secretary DENLY.

In Justice to officers Of the Navy.
Secretary Denby wishes to correct
recent published statements to the
effect that naval officers have been
warned against opposing in any way
the American proposals at the con-
ference on the Limitation of armament
II regret" said the Secretary, ito see
such rumors repeated in print or
otherwisS< because they are quite
untrue. No orders have been issued
to naval officers not to oppose in print
or in conversation the American pro-
posals. No orders have been neces-
sary. I have not yet met or heard
Of a single officer of the naval es-
tablishment of the United States who
does not approve the American pro-
posals and does not heartily wish
success to this conference. I cannot
understand how any other impression
has gone abroad"

Readjustment OF Service Pay.

Members Of the joint congressional
committee on the readjustment of pay
in the services appeared much i'm
pressed with the statements given the
past week by officers Of the services
who were called upon to present their
argumt> in favor of continuing the
present temporary pay status or the
making Of same permanent. Col. E.
L. Munson of the general staff. who
was instrumental in effecting the
present pay adjustment. which took
effect in 1920. appeared before the
committee armed with data to sustain
his contention that the rate Of pay
which the services are now drawing
should be made permanent. Dealing
with the comparative purchasing
power Of the dollar between the pres
ent and 1908, when the services re-
ceived their last real increase in pay.
Col. Munson produced statistics to
prove that the purchasing power of
dollar had decreased from 100 cents in
1908 to sos cents in 1921. contending.
in effect, that the pay Of the serv-
ices had been cut in two since the
real increase in 1908.
