GEN. SUMMERALL'S RETURN PUzzLING
Officials Say They Have No
 Knowledge Of Reason

Washington. Oct. IS [P,-The in Gjcated return of Major General Summerall chief of staff of the army, from an interrupted tour of inspection on the Pacific coast left war department officials completely puzzled today both acting Secretary MucNidcr and the acting chief of staff. asserting that they had no knowledge of any orders recalling him 10 Washington.
 If was said that no message from General Summcrall telling of any change in his plans had been re- ceived.
 The only source Of possible orders recalling him from his trip other than the war department would be either Secretary Davis. who is in Columbus O., today and was at Day ion, yesterday. or the White House.
 With President Coolidge in Pitts ! hurgh, today, no information re- garding Summerall was available at ] the White House.
 : The possibility suggested in dis patches from the Pacific coast that i General Summcrall had been recall cd because Of a speech delivered Tuesday in San Diego in which he is | said to have critized severely gov ! ornment policy in connection with | the housing of troops created wide spread interest among army officers and officials.
 The chief of staff Is known 10 hold positive views on that subject and has exhibited recently a considera blc degree of frankness in expressing his opinion publicly although. Up to this time at least he has avoided anything approaching direct con flct with congressional or adnlinis- tration policy in handling the army housing problem.
 Should it prove that President Coolidge has intervened directly be- cause of General Summerall's re- marks in San Diego and recalled him 10 Washington. the situation would he almost unprecedented in army 1 history.

 One aspect of the situation arous- ing particular interest in military circles, was the course General Sum neral might follow if he proves to have been called in rebuke for his San Diego speech. some officers were inclined to believe he might ask 10 be relieved as chief of staff in that event. thus forcing the army housing issue and any other ques- tions of military policy in which he is deeply interested into public mo- tlce Tn such manner as to insure the attention Of congress during the coming session.

THOUSANDS ASK
Low NUMBERS
ON AUTO TAGS
State Department SWamped
by Requests; Sale to
Start Thursday.

In addition to the countless prob
lens attendant on placing Of sale
within twenty-four hours of 100000
license automobile plates, Secretary
Of State Frederick Schortemeier was
puzzled today by the hundreds Of
letters received from motorists
throughout the State asking that
they be given low numbers on their
tags.
approximately 100000 requests for
the low numbers-that is, those I'M
der 10,000-have been received by
Schortemeier, who says that conse-
quently only about 10 per cent of
the requests could be granted.
I'VE usually have set Dec. 5 as the
deadline when persons could apply
for either low numbers or the same
numbers they had last year, but the
requests have become so heavy that
it Is possible that something will
have to be done to forbid the show
ing Of any such favors in the future"
he said.
Final instructions have been given
the ZOO persons assigned to the
Statehouse and 112 sub-stations who
will be in charge when the tags go
on sale Thursday.
If all the tags are sold, the State
will receive $5,330,000, the largest
amount for the sale of licenses in
its history.
"The widespread use Of the auto
mobile may be visualized when you
compare the number of tags sold in
1914 with this year, Schortemeier
said. I'm 1914 only $4,000 automo-
biles of all classes we're registered.
This year we have prepared to is
sue licenses for 100000.
1.-THE sales of the tags is becom-
ing one of the. greatest problems of
the State department"
The sales season will close Feb. /.
