WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-An

Maj. Gen. Adelbert Cronkhite, re-
tired, that important official docu-
ments, dealing with the death of
his son, Maj. A. P. Cronkhite, had
been tempered with, was ordered
today by Secretary Weeks. The
secretary directed Major General
Bethel, the judge advocate general,
to sumbit a full report.
Secretary Weeks said the charges
were SO serious in nature that the
investigation would be most thor
ough and would extend to files pre-
pared before he became Secretary
of War, in connection with the
death of Major Cronkhite. killed at
Camp Lewis, Wash, in 1918.

pealing from the action of Secretary
Weeks, who had refused the gem
erals request for a court OF inquiry.
At the time General Cronkhtte wrote:
There is no authenticated record
of any investigation, military or civil,
into the circumstances of Major
Cronkhites death on file in the rec
ords of the war department
There is no record of an inquest
which is required by both military
and civil law.
There is no authenticated record
of the extensive autopsy which was
performed on the body of Major
Cronkhite at the time of his death.
Retirement Case Closed.
There are no authenticated pro-
'ceedings, nor is there any evidence
on which to base the findings on file
in the war department to the effect
that Major Cronkhite died as the re-
suit of 'self-inflicted accidental
wound
There are no documents or rec
ords TO show that any of the vital
exhibits in the case were introduced
as evidence.
THE separate statements made by
Captain Rosenbluth, Lieutenant Sea-
uufB, M, ~ anu sergeant buBleI
Pothler, when they accompanied
Major Cronkhites body to the base
hospital, are not on file in the war
department"
Secretary Weeks made It clear that
the investigation would be confined
TO these charges and that he re-
garded the case of Major General
Chonkhite's retirement as closed. Mr..
Weeks said he was willing person
ally to take full responsibility for
the retirement

utensils and ingredients are at hand.
Then work as quickly and neatly
as possible, but do not try to hurry
through. Successful canning takes
time and patience.
To Tan Peas
Wash pods and shell. Care should
be taken not TO bruise the peas as
this makes them cloudy when canned.
Put enough peas to fill one jar in a
cheesecloth square and plunge into
rapidly boiling water for five minutes.
The square should be large enough to
hold the peas loosely and the kettle
of boiling water big enough easily to
cover the peas.
At the end of 1--WE minutes of boil
ing lift from the boiling water and
plunge into a large basin or kettle
OF clear cold water. Remove imme-
diately and dip into the second pan
of clear cold water. This cold dip
seals the pores OF the vegetable and
presents the escape OF any juices.
Drain peas and pack in sterelized
fairs to within one inch from the top
OF the jar. Add one-half teaspoon
salt and one-half teaspoon sugar to
pint can. Fit on tested rubber
and fill can to within one-fourth inch
from the top with boiling water. Half
seal.
To half seal screwtop jar-tighten
cover with thumb and little finger.
To half seal ST top glass jar
adjust cover a. over top bail.
Put jars Il .ater bath. The
water should cover the Jars by two
inches. The Jars will cool the water
and boiling will stop. When the water
begins to boil again note the time and
boil for four hours.
Remove from Gamer and finish
sealing. Turn upside down and cool
as quickly as possible. Be careful
that a draft does not strike the Jars
while cooling. When cold store in
dark. cool. dry place.
Pint Jars are more economical for
the average family to use. A pint
or solid peas will sorve four persons
literally.
One-half bushel Of we'll filled pods
will make about seven pints of solid
peas canned.

Former Friend ReappearS

Dear Miss Lee: I am 20 years old. The
man to whom 1 was engaged objected to a
woman who, at first, l thought was my
friend. But realized, long before he asked
me to drop her. that she was not worthy OF
being any ones friend. For more than,>a
year I had not even spoken to her. But
the other night she came to where 1 was
staying, while he was there.
You can see how guilty 1t looked for me,
and how useless my denials were to him
was so surprised to see her that I could not
do anything but let him go out of my life,
believing me lying am leaving Indianapo-
lis soon, as IL holds nothing for me now.
But II seems too cruel when I think perhaps
he will not know the truth until too late
Should send back his ring and get some
one else to help me forget9 I don't think ]
can, because I love him much. R.
/ don't think leaving town Is quite
the thing in this case. because I have
an idea your fance will realize, some
time, that he acted too hastily.
As circumstances undoubtedly were
against you, suggest that you write
to him. Tell him all the facts of
your mountaineering with this
woman, and remind him that this
was a chance for him to prove his
love and trust. Enclose the ring. and
write that you will be ready to ac-
cept it again only when he IS ready
to trust you, and to give you "fair
hearing"
