the passing of the Teapot Dome into

the fact that instead of refining Tea

claimed to be the largest single re-

Secretary Weeks has declared his
policy respecting speech making by
Army officers almost in Identical lam
guage to that used by Gen. Ely at
Leavenworth. An interesting fact is
that the Secretary's declaration and
the generals statement both related
to the subject of speech making, and
were made public almost simu1tane-
ously and without and prearrange-
ment between Washington and Leav-
enworth.
