WASHINGTON, Dee. 31,-All

This suggestion ,wnic'l has been

ever since Pershing's retirement
Sept. IL, has bobbed up again.
Without being in Cautious
Gals" confidence, one would be
safe in giving long odds that such
an appointment nevof will be
made.
Certainly it would not be in
keeping with Coolidge caution to
break over the precedent that the
head of the War Department must
be a civilian, not a professional
military man, however high the
regard in which the military maa
might be held.
Both the president and General
Pershing would have much to lose
and nothing to gain by SCATTERING
this precedent.
General Pershing's opinions on
military matters are and will cen
tinue to be available to the rresi.
dent whenever desired. They will
likewise have their full weight
with Congress.
Nothing would be added to their
Influence or importance by giving
him the title of secretary of war
The change is established policy
would, however, open the way to
possible criticism that it would
seem foolish to invite.
From a purely personal and ma
terial standpoint, Persbing is bet
