C.. OF C.. WILL
OPPOSE PLAN
TO MOVE POST
Secretary Reynolds Writes to
Senator New Stating
Opinions.

Despite the definite announcement made
by the War Depart ment that the Fiitn
Corps Area Headquarters Of the Army
would be moved from It. Benjamin
Harrison. John L. Reynolds. general see
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce, Is
still ushl- every possible line of in
fuence to prevent this.
In q letter to Senator Harry s. New
today. Mr. Reynolds supplies the SEN
ator with the information that the mov-
lag of the Fifth Corps Aerl Headquar-
ters will not only cost from $4,000 TO
$4,000 but that the Third, Fourth and
Seventh Corps headquarters are being
moved from forts into cities where rent
must be paid while the War Depart
ment gave as its principal reason for
ordering the removal of the Fifth Corps
Area headquarters from Fl. Benjamin
Harrison, "a saving OF money"
REYNOLDS LETTER
STATES OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Reynolds letter to Senator New
IS as follows:
"Since my letter &c the Secretary of
War, copy of which was sent you,
copy of the order of May IL, emhodyine

Army. has come TO ny possession. !
notice with some surprise that Third
Corps Area headquarters are ordered in
Baltimore from Fit Howard. Fourth
Corps Area headquarters Will he moved
from Fl Mcpherson To Atlanta and Sev-
enth Corps Area headquarters from Fit.
Crook to Omaha.
This does not seem consistent with the
line of reasoning adopted with regard
"a the Fifth Corps Area headquarters.
IL reasons of economy do not prevent
sending these other headquarters into
cities where rent must be paid. why
Is ii so essential to avoid a similar ex
pense in regard to indianapolis end
send the headquarters for this area to
a Government post that will be the source
Of considerable expenditure Of funds to
PUT 1t into shape for Use.
+ CALLS ATTENTION TO
SUDDEN ACTION.
Il have beer told that it will cost from
SEQ 900 to $4,000 to effect the necessary
changes and cover the ccSt of moving. IL
was also suggested that an appeal had
been made to President Harding and that
this resulted In change Of plans as pre-
viously announced. AS a matter Of fact,
the decision to go to Columbus Barracks
seems To have been made almost over
night. although this may not have been
the case, and l am only bringing these
unverifed rGmors to your attention as
having some possible bearing on the mat
ter.
IF the cost of moving is anything
like that mentioned, IL would not be of
any particular advantage 10 make the
move from indianapolis and in the hope
of effecting a reconsideration at this
late date | am sending this appeal.
Available quarters at fair rental can be
had here and it would be very gratifying
if those in authority would reopen the
ease and assign TO it other officers than

GEOGRAPHICAL SEEDING

NEW YORK, May 2s.-Julian 8. Ny
rick, president of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association, said today
that the association opposed geo.
graphical matching OF teams In the
elimination rounds of the Davis cup
tennis matches, because such a meth
cd detracts from the international
character Of the games.
That this will be the attitude of the
American representative at the meet
when the subject of rearranging the
draw will be debated, is furtherl
shown in Mr.. Myrick's statement that
the. defaults of Canada; Hawaii. the
Philippines and Japan, while regret

which Ii open to the nations OF the

.aThe blind draw" he said, has been
followed ever since the contest began
in 1900, and under 1t the competition
has developed into the greatest event
OF It's kind. To adopt q geographical
plan of seeding would in our judg-
ment defeat one of the very purposes
for which the contest was established
namely, to promote real interna-
tional play. 1t would seem as though
tho development expected in the fu-
ture would justify the competitors In
sending their teams long distances to
compete even more than in the past"
