time that Baldinger-a boy in his

assistant.
It is said that Colonel Sheriff.
aspired to go on the trip to Alaska
with the Presidents party. In
stead, however, Major Baldinger
was selected to go.
The explanation, made by the
administration, of Colonel Sherrill's
action in d1scharging Baldinger.
was that he was relieved from his
command Of the White House po-
lice force merely becaus OF his
long enforced absence from the
city, and because the force needed
an active head, and because it was
desired that Baldinger be free to
give all his attention to Mrs.
Harding.
Blame Army Officers.
There is, however, no disposition
to blame President Coolidge or any
of his friends for the Incidents. On
the contrary, Mrs. Harding's friends
blame the petty jealousies and per-
sonal animosities of a number Of
army officers for the whole situa-
ton.
The Baldinger incident was ex.
planned by members Of President
Coolidge's encourage as an act in
tended to assist Mrs. Harding. 1t
was stated President Coolidge de-
tached Major Baldinger from his
White House duties so the officer
could be placed entirely at the dis
posal Of Mrs. Harding, and would
not have to report to the executive
offices.
Secretary Christian later told the
press he could not praise TOO
heartily" the lxindly assistance and
friendly cooperation extended to
Mrs. Harding by the new President.
He asked newspapermen to empha-
size his statement. He did, how
ever, condemn the alleged dis
courtesy of some under-o officials in
the Coolidge encourage.

One of the most recent moves in this
