ENCOUNTERED PROFESSION.
AL JEALOUSY WHEN HE
FIRST CAME HERE-COMINC
BACK TO STAY

New York, April 13.-Dr. Adolph
Lorenz, was passenger on the La.
France, sailing for Europe today.
He was accompanied by Anton Well,
importer, who induced him to come
to this country. ...... :.
DR.. Lorenz, who treated thousands
of cripples during his visit, at first
was forced to eurtatl his operations
because Of the opposition he met
from members Of his own profession
throughout the country. He finally
conducted free clinic under the guild
ance Of New York's health depart
ment until he secured a license from
the state. Later he held clinics in
New Jersey and Detroit. a..2.
He is coming tack to stay in Sep
tember and will bring his family,
which consists of his wife and two
sons, with him. The elder son, who is

chief surgical assistant, having taken
care of his practice in Vienna while
his father was in this country. The
younger son, who is nearly 10, will
enter Columbia next fall, prepara-
tory to beginning a medical career.
Tired and weary from thelwork
he had performed here Dr.. Lorenz,

to arouse widespread newspaper
comment and virtually amounted to

FUNDING OF CHINESE
DEBTS SUGGESTED
Consortiunn May Finance the
Work Irrespective of Pekin.

PEKIN, Feb. 16 (Associated Press) -
Representatives of the Consortium sug-
gested to the Minister of Finance the
funding of all poorly secured debts.
These total 4OO, 900, 900 yen and pre-
sumably include the Japanese unsecured
advances to the defunct Anfu Govern
ment OF 150,000,00o yen. The Minister
offered the objection that security for
the funding was not available.
Sir Charles s. Adds of the Bank OF
England, speaking at Shanghai, said
the Consortium might consider financing
constructive work in the provinces
without acknowledging the Pelxin Gov
ernment. Sir Charles in an interview
here said:
Withdrawal of recognition from
Pekin was not implied. but China should
not be forced to await the evolution
of perfect government before acquir-
ing badly needed railways and other
communications. Therefore. while the
Pekin Government is unable to arrange
for the Consortiums assistance for such
improvements. expediency dictates re-
lations with the other authorities. which
would be without political significance"

TO CARE FOR CADETS
Placing of West Point and An
napolis 1922 Graduates En-
cages the Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (Associated
Press) MILITARY defense of the Philip
pines may be completely abandoned by
the United States even before ratifi-
cation of the four Power treaty.
The step is known to be under con-
sideration in the War Department.
If it is carried out, under pressure for
further reduction of the strength of
the army, the garrison which has been
maintained in the islands for defensive
purposes ever since the first American
troops landed under Dewey's guns in
1898, will be cut to no more than a
police force to support the authority
Of the insular Government.
Should this policy be finally adopted
1t will be based on the contention that
the treaty guarantees the security of the
islands from attack by any signatory
Power and that they should be left to
the protection Of international good
faith. AS an evidence of it's own COM
plete good faith such action by the
United States, it was said, would have
striking emphasis. The possibility of
aggression against the islands by any
nonsignatory Power is regarded as so
remote as not to deserve consideration.
Already, in anticipation of ratification,
both the army and navy have ordered
shipments of mines and anti-aircraft
guns for Manila defenses stopped en-
route.
The War Department also has re-
The New York herald., 1922-02-17

scinded orders for a bombing squad dron
of airplanes which would have added
materially to the strength of the Phil
ippine garrison. This action is regarded
by army men as of particular signifi-
cance. since military thought has Ia
vored aircraft to prevent any landing
of hostile troops in the islands.
Discussion of the possibility of aban-
doning the land defenses of the islands
has been brought to the front in plan
ming for distribution of regular forces
under the 10000 restriction in number
already made for the army. Withdrawal
of substantial part of the island gar
rison of about $500 men would increase
the number of mobile troops available
in the United States and urgently needed
in carrying out the dual major missions
OF tsv y=my. patrol cs the Southern
border and the establishment of the de-
centralized training and mobilization
system for the National Guard and the
organized reserve.
Tentative decision of the House Naval
Committee to recommend that the first
class at the Naval Academy be returned
to civil life on graduation IL Congress
approves that course, may result in COM
missions as Second Lieutenants in the
army being offered to them.
Such a plan for preventing the more
than 500 academy graduates from being
turned out to seek work in private
life has been considered, it was learned
to-day in both the War and Navy De-
partments. The army needs more ad-
ditional Second Lieutenants than the
graduating classes OF both West Point
and Annapolis can provide, it was said,
and the question of the eligibility or
Naval Academy graduates for army
commissions has been decided favorably.
Secretary DENLY and officers of the
Navy Department believe that all of
the midshipmen grad duating this year
The New York herald., 1922-02-17

should get their commissions. The plan
for reducing future classes at the acad-
emy through cutting the appointments
for each member of Congress from five
to three. Department officials believe.
would prevent too great flow here
after from the academy.
Should Congress insist on curtailing
the commissioned personnel by denying
commissions to this years graduates,
however. it appeared likely that .he
Department would seek to have pro-
vision made for at least ten or twenty
of the men with highest standing to
be taken into the navy, and negotiate
with the War Department with view
to obtaining army commissions for as
many of the remainder OF the graduates
as elected to accept the proffer.
The practice OF commissioning only
few out OF each graduating class from
Annapolis is not new. For several years
only ten out of each class were taken
into the service, the others going back
to civil life.
TO maintain feet of eighteen bat
tleships, as agreed on by the arms con-
ference, the United States must provide
eighteen complete battleship crews. Sec
retary DENLY declared to-day before
the House Naval Committee in support
ing his original request for 10000 en-
listed men.
Mr. DENLY insisted that the question
for Congress to decide was whether it
would appropriate sufficient funds to
keep the navy at its maximum treaty
stage Of efficiency.
"If we are to have navy of a
fundamental unit" he said. "it is neces-
sary to have men trained and ready
to operate it. You cannot get trained
men overnight. 1t is idle to claim an
eighteen battleship navy. if three bat
tleships should be constantly out of
commission"
