The proposal of the War Depart
ment to advance Capt. Lowell
Smith 1000 files on the Army pro-
motion list and Lieuts. Eric Nell
son, Leigh Wade and Leslie P. Ar
mold 500 files each, as part of the
Nations reward for flying around
the world, would mean that Capt.
Smith would become a major In
about Is years, Lieut.. Wade ma
jor in about 20 years, Lieut.. Nelson
in rs years and Lieut.. Arnold in
"a years, If the present system of
Army promotion remains in effect.
The foregoing conclusion is ar
rived at after a study of the Army
promotion list as of November 1,
1924. The advance in files would
mean no increase in rank for any
officer and no increase In pay
would be carried with the pro
notion"
President Coolidge has let it be
known. he is not entirely satisfied
with the War Departments recon-
mendations for reward, which in
clude distinguished service medals
for the participants in the flight,
permission to accept decorations
offered by foreign countries and
special retirement privileges.
In the Army list of November /,
the name of Lowell Smith appears
in italics under the heading First
Lieutenants." His standing on the
promotion list is 6,763. The italics
mean that he was a captain and
was reduced under the reorsaniza-

ton act, but he would receive his
captaincy back ahead of lieuten-
ants.
Smith now is a full-f1edged cap
tain. he having received an extra
silver bar shortly after landing in
America from his trip around the
world. But nevertheless his num-
ber still remains 6.763 in the pro-
motion list. Lieut.. Wade ranks
him by 81 files, the formers num-
ber being Sol on the first lieuten-
ants list, because Wade entered
the Army a few months before
Smith. Disregarding the proposed
advance in files in the course of
promotions. Lieut.. Wade would
reach his majority before Capt.
Smith, and he always would main
tain the So file lead.
Advanced 1000 files, however.
Capt Smiths promotion number
would be 5,763, while the number
of the ranking first lieutenant
who had not been a captain and
reduced is 5,547, or PIG files great
er. Thus this first lieutenant
would become a major before
Capt. Smith by reason of his stand
ing ahead due to longer service.
Lieut.. Wade, If the proposed re-
ward is enacted, would then be
ranked 438 files by Smith.
Lieut. Nelson's promotion num-
Der is 7,055 and his advancement
would bring his standing on the
list to 6,555, and Lieut. Arnold's
number would be changed from
6,95S to 6,458, with the increase
in files. Both would be long way
from the top of the first lieuten-
ants promotion list.

GOMPERS' WIDOW
FIGHTS NEW WILL
Charges Fraud in Seeking to
Bar Document Leaving
Her Only Dover.

Mrs. Gertrude A. Gompers, 41-year-
old widow of Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. who died recently at the age
of "A, today started a contest over
his estate by filing in the District
Supreme Court a caveat against the
probate of a will of the labor leader,
dated November 8, 1924, about six
weeks before his death. Mrs. Com
pers also questions the validity of
an attempted revocation by her hus-
band of former will. made Septem-
Der 81. 1921. shortly after their mar
riage, in which the wife was given
the bulk of his $4,000 estate. Under
the later document, the validity of
which the widow also attacks. she is
to have only the minimum dover pro-
vided by law.
Mrs. Gompers charges that the at
tempted revocation of the will which
was in her favor and the making and
publishing of a new will disinheriting
her as far as possible under the law
were the result of undue influence OF
Samuel J. Gompers, son of the labor
leader, and named as executor in the
proposed new will She asserts that
of her late husband, but results from
fraud, coercion and undue influence
of Samuel j. GomperS or some other
person unknown to her"
The widow, through Attorney Julius
l. Peyser, asks the court to refuse
probate of the later will, to set aside
the attempted revocation of the ear
lier document and to admit the Will
of September, 1921, to probate. Jack
son H Ralston, who is named as ex-
ecutor of the earlier will, has left
the jurisdiction, Mrs. Gompers tells
the court. and for that reason she
offers that document for probate in
place of the executor.

LONDON, January 6.-The great
dome of ST. Paurs Cathedral is
declared by the city surveyor to
be in such unsafe condition that
the municipal authorities, accord
ing to the Daily Mirror, have serv-
ed notice upon the official custo-
dians of the cathedral that they
officially regard the dome as "a
dangerous structure"
The condition of the dome has
been a source of anxiety for the
cathedral officials for some years,
owing to cracks in the supporting
pillars, and large sums have been
spent in grouting and other reme-
dial measures.
While a recent report by the
cathedral's experts recommended
further drastic repairs, the experts
suggested that absolute safety
could probably only be insured by
removing the dome and rebuild

Reason for Discussions.


quarters here that the Clementel dis
cussions with Ambassador Herrick, and
his personal and unofficial memoran-
dunn concerning the debt were brought
about largely because of the reaction
when the recent celebrated balance
sheet of France was made public, re-
vealing the fact that no provision had
been made therein for taking care of
the debt to America.
1nasmuch, however, as the new
memorandum gives definite indica tions
that the French do not intend to abro-
gate their obligation to this country,
it is accepted in official quarters here
as a hopeful and sincere gesture
In unofficial circles here, sympa-
thetic with the French point of view,
it was set forth that perhaps Glenn
enters government, in consideration
of the present economic status of
France, the temper of the French peo-
pie and the pending meeting of
finance ministers in Paris, did not feel
justified in coming out with a fiat
offer of terms, which might meet with
refusal in Washington. Perhaps
Clementel did not want to take the
risk of such a possible refusal, it vas
suggested, but rather decided to put
out an unofficial feeler to lay a basis
for conversations, which eventually
might lead to negotiations and under
standing between the two powers
The question of whether France
might, with any degree of hope, ex-
pect better terms than were accorded

Omcers Are Gratified.

IT was clear that American officials
were gratfiied that the French had
seen their way clear to opening up
discussions, at least, concerning the
war debt to this country. The Her
rick communication, which included
the personal and unofficial observa-
tions of Minister Clementel, generally
discussing an S0-year term, mora
torium of 10 years, with interest of
III per cent during the 10 years, was
understood to have added practically
nothing to the conversations which
for some time have been proceeding
between Secretary Mellon and Am
bassador Jusserand The net result
of the much h-discussed memorandum,
therefore, has been, according to
close observers, not so much any ad-
vancement toward specific considera-
tion of a funding agreement between
the two governments as a prolonga-
tion of the discussion.

FRENCH DEBT NOTE
RAISES FINE ISSUE
Personal Character of ''Feel-
er" Makes Question of Sum-
moning Committee Difficult.

The administration was confronted
today with the difficult and delicate
problem of what to do in the matter
of the French debt communication
forwarded by Ambassador Herrick
from Paris and admitted in official
circles here as a decided departure
from more direct methods which
heretofore have been employed in
handling such questions.
The personal and unofficial char
acter of the communication now in
the hands of Secretary Mellon seems
to have raised the question as to
whether a formal meeting of the
American Debt Commission properly
should be called to formulate this
Governments policy. 1t was admit
ted, however, at the Treasury Depart
ment that the French statements were
of such a nature as to require at least
an informal reply Up to noon today
Chairman Mellon of the Debt Com
mission had issued no call for a
meeting of that body.
