 Washington. May 5.-Nearly 400 naval reserve and auxiliary officers of various grades now in active duty will be separated arbitrarily from the service July l without provision for the future under terms of the Navy Appropriation bill which has passed the House.
 Included in this number of officers are fifty-nine old-time officers who compose the Naval Auxiliary Ser vice, which was organized in 1898 for the Spanish-American War. They were placed in charge of the naval supply ships, all of the officers of the regular naval establishment being needed for the battleships.
 When organized, officers in the auxiliary service were accorded the same privileges as the regulars, with longevity pay and other benefits. In listed these auxiliary officers into the newly organized naval reservs. This deprived them of their longev- ity pay and other benefits and placed them on par with volunteer officers of little or no service record
 The Navy Appropriation bill which passed the House made no provision for these fifty-one auxiliary reser- Spanish-Amer erican and in the World War. It is claimed for them that their service shoud give them a status identical with or superior to that of hany of the younger regular officers. No Retirement Pay. ] Legislation already enacted and bills pending before the House Naval Affairs Committee provide for pen Sioning regular combat officers and for retirement at 60 years of age or for length of service No retiremnt pay or other benefits are provided for the fifty-nine officers who com posed the old naval auxiliary service, many of whom are nearinaathe sixty year age limit N
 These auxiliary officers have ap- pealed to President Harding in an effort to correct this alleged gross discrimination. Letters of protest, in effect a round robin. have been mailed by each officer to the White House.
 It is expected the fight will be car carried to the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, where the work of the House Appropriations Committee is to undergo careful revision Friends of the old naval officers expect the Senate to grant relief from the ap Sarent injustice.

 DEMAND FOR DIAMONDS

LONDON, Nov. 27. = The present boom in diamonds in England is at tributed partly to recent rumors of war in the Near East.

Not only in London is this activity notice. able, but in Antwerp also diamonds have been changing hands in large numbers, somewhat similarly to the trade which occurred at the time ot the first Russian revolution.
 Another reason given for the dia mond activity is that new fields are being opened, rough diamonds are coming to hand in larger quantities and customers want not only the if nest sort, but also smaller stones for clusters.

Says Elizabeth Prices

NEWARK, Jan. 10:-According
to figures released today by the De-

prices in Perth Amboy are consider
ably less than those in the city of
Elizabeth. There are one or two
exceptions, the principal one being
the price of milk, which is cheaper

made possible by the fact that Eliz-
abeth is closer to the dairy farms
than Perth Amboy. The figures OBJ
tanned in this investigation will be
turned over to the authorities in
Washington as a part of the state
wide investigation on the cost Of
living. In almost all instances the
figures show that the merchants in
Perth Amboy and Elizabeth pay
about the same wholesale prices,
but retail the goods at a less profit.
