Parker Succeeds
Day as Umpire
in U. S. War Claims

Washington, May o1-Partial reor-
ganization of the mixed claims commits
sion constituted TO adjudicate war
claims totalling Sl.479.0o0,00 600 of the
United States government and Ameri-
can citizens against Germany. was
caused today. by the retirement of for
mcr Justice Day OF the supreme court
as umpire of the Commission.
Judge Edwin y. Parker Of Texas,
American member OF the Commission.
was appointed Immediately by Prcsi-
dent Harding to succeed Mr.. Day as
umpire. leaving the post of American
commissioner temporarily vacant.
The resignation OF Mr.. Day. who told
the president he wished to be relieved
OF his dutic. because he believed II
younger and stronger man should serve
as umpire, came as the commission
was beginning TO consider the 12,i16
claims flied. The commissioners rep
reScnting the United States and Ger
many. respectively. Judge Parker and
p.. Wilhelm Ki"Ssc !bach. already had
begun hearings on the Lusitania claims.
m, -, Iitiu ncrn presented last week by
Robert =. Morris. American agent, and
Marshall Morgan, counsel for tho COM
mission, in charge of the Lusitania
claims. Their arrangement after the
appointment of the new American COM
missioner proba bly, will be necessary,
as the duties OF Judge Parker as UNI
pire will require him TO function only
in settling disputes between the
American and German commissioners.
Mr.. Days retirement from the COM
mission was a surprise. His selection
a umpire had mot with widespread
approval because of his vast experience
in mixed claims commission work and
his long reputation in public service as
former secretary of state and on the
supreme court bench. Germany asked
the United States to appoint the COM
missions umpire and expressly APPROX
ed the selection of Justice Day.
1t was announced at the state de-
partment today in connection with the
appointment of Judge Parker as UNI
pire that the German government was
glad to approve his selection.
Little delay in disposal of the
Americans claims, officials said, will
result from the commissions personnel
change.
