of the Rogers Act We're not sent to
Congress at the opening of a session
but reached that body near the close,
Mr.. Carr says is that through mad
Vertence they We're not compiled and
sent in earlier. There is no reason
why they should not be sent at the
beginning of a session instead of to-
ward the end of 1t, and it is hoped that
hereafter they will be so submitted.
Analogous to Naval Officers.
At the time the Rogers Act was
under consideration by Congress it
was thought that because of the ma
ture of the foreign service, and the
peculiar conditions under which mem
bers of that service served abroad in
all kinds of climates and in practically
all kinds of living conditions, their re-
tirement treatments should be some-
what analogous to that of naval Off
GERS who, aside from engaging in
actual warfare, most nearly of all
Government officers resemble foreign
service officers in the conditions under
which they serve abroad.
The foreign service retirement pay,
however, is not only smaller than that
given to naval officers but is on the
basis Of a contribution from the Off
Ger, whereas no contribution is ex-
acted from the naval officer, Mr.. Carr
emphasizes, and the expense of retir-
ing members of the British foreign
service, on the other hand, is also
borne by the government, and is
slightly more generous in amount than
that given to officers in the American
foreign service.
The extreme hazards of the Light
house Service, which must be taken
into consideration in coordinating the
lighthouse retirement provisions with
those Of the Civil Service retirement
act, are stressed by j. S. Conway, act
ing commissioner of lighthouses. He
says: ANY reference to the special
lighthouse retirement law for the field
employees of the Lighthouse Service
(part-time employees and persons con
tinuously employed in lighthouses,
offices and shops are expressly
omitted from it's provisions is neces
sarily incomplete, and may lead to
mistaken inferences unless some com
parative information is given regard.
ing retired pay problems in the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard
Public Health Service and Coast and
Geodetic Survey, especially to- the
three latter groups, as the field work
of these is analogous to that of the
Lighthouse Service. In fact, as shown
by the reports of the Employees Com.
pensation Commission, the incidence
rate of cases requiring the attention
Of that Office indicates the unusually
hazardous nature of lighthouse work.
Lighthouse Act Different.
To be absolutely fair regarding the
Lighthouse Service retirement, II
must be borne in mind that on June
! 30, 1918, there was enacted a law to
authorize aids in navigation and other
works in the Lighthouse Service. That
act is in the Statutes at Large, Vol
ume 40, page COS. That law is en-.
tirely different in its provisions from
either the Foreign Service or the Civil
Service retirement acts.
It is based on practically the same

WOODS SUCCESSOR
TO PROVE PROBLEM
Carmi Thompson Mentioned
as Next Philippine
Governor.

RAPID CITY, S. Dak.. August s.
The death of Leonard Wood places be-
fore President Coolidge another prop
lem of finding a man to represent the
Government in a country where con
ditionS are troubled.
Just how soon Mr.. Coolidge will
name another Governor General OF the
Philippines is not certain. but it was
regarded likely that he would not act
before leaving the Black Hills. Who
ever the man proves to be, however,
there seemed to be no reason for eX-
pecting any radical change in the
American policy at Manila, because
President Coolidge had been in accord
with the administration of Gov. Gen.
Wood.
May Name Thompson.
The confidence placed by the Presi-
dent in Carmi A. Thompson when he
sent him to the Philippines to make
an investigation of conditions there
has led to the belief that Mr.. Coolidge
may choose him as Woods successor.
although it is likely that he will take
other names under consideration, in
Guiding that of Henry l.. Stimson, the
Presidents special envoy to Nicaragua
in the negotiations for peace in that
civil war torn country.
What effect Gen. Woods death will
have on placing the jurisdiction of
Philippine Island affairs under the In
terror Department rather than the
War Department remains to be seen.
The President favors placing all insu-
lar affairs under civil administration
and the report of his special investiga-
tor, Mr. Thompson. admitted that some
of the difficulties that beset the Wash
ington Government at Manila were
attributable to the military atmos-
phere' of Mr.. Woods administration.
President Deeply Affected.
Mr.. Coolidge, however, was careful
to point out in submitting the Thomp-
son report that in selecting men to
aid him Mr.. Wood was forced to turn
to Army officers because of difficulty
in obtaining confirmation of native
civilian experts who might be better
fitted.
Apparently the death of Gen. Wood
was a shock to President Coolidge
Shortly after his recent visit here it
was said at the Summer White House
that the President believed Gen.
Woods indisposition to be temporary
and that Mr. Coolidge expected him to
return to Manila to remain there in.
definitely.
10 many observers, however, it was
plain that the governor general was a
very sick man.
Mr.. Wood himself, however, insisted
that he was in good health, but it
seemed to those who had seen him in
the full stride of his life that it was
his indomitable spirit that dictated his
own opinion.

Wood had the interest of the Filipinos
at heart.
Carmi Thompson, wlfb went to the
Philippines in 1926 as the personal
envoy of President Coolidge, declared
in his report that ION the whole Gen.
Wood is to be recommended for his
efficient conduct Of affairs during his
administration.
Mr.. Thompson, however, urged the
breaking of the deadlock in Philippine
rule resulting from the split between
Gen. Wood and the Legislature and
the creation of civil rule" and the
removal of the military atmosphere"
in the insular executive branch of the
government.
Defends Army Aides.
Gen. Wood in a published articles
subsequently defended the appoint
ment of Army officers in his cabinet,
declaring that the idea that regular
officers were temperamently unfit for
civilian duty in peace time was er-
rOneOuS.
Before becoming chief executive of
the islands Gen. Wood investigated
conditions there for President Hard
ing and reported against the granting
of independence. This report, made
public after he became governor gem
eral, added fuel to the controversy
that marked his administration.
Pedro Guevara, resident Philippine
commissioner, in a telegram to Mrs.
Wood said: 1T is with profound sor-
row that I learned Of the untimely
death Of your beloved husband. Please
accept my heartiest sympathy"
