At Army War College

Before going to Governors
Island, it will be remembered
General Ely was in command at
the Army War College. And GER
tainly Washington Barracks was
a show place during his regime.
Visitors used to be astonished at
the neatness and order which
prevailed in the barracks, the
shops and the map-making plant
which is one of the features of
the post. And the grounds al
ways looked as though they had
been manicured. There was a
fine vegetable garden on the
post and a famous flower garden,
hut both were under the care of
the regular post gardeners.
Although a strict discip marian
and a bit of a martinez, General
Ely is a kindly soul and a good
sport, so it seems probable that
in the long run he'll be as pop
ular at Governors Island as he
was here.
The former Minister of Bull
2 garia to the United States and
Nine. Panaretoff will leave today
for Boston On their way to Rock
port, Mass. where they will pass
the month of July. For the month
of August they will be at Will
Jamestown. Mass. attending the
eighth session of the Institute of
Politics.

General Ely, d FaUOrite Here, Stlrs
Ihinqs Up at Governors Island
Effort to Make Post a
"Spotless Town" Unap-
preciated for Moment

Maj. Gen. Hanson =. Ely,
an old favorite in Washing
ton, is stirring things up at
Governors Islam d, where
he is now in command, and
for the moment, from all
accounts, is not su ch a
favorite there.
The stir has to do with
two new post regulations,
part of his campaign to
make Governors Is land a
"spotless town among
military reservations. One
prohibits entirely the plant
ing of vegetable gardens on
the, island and limits flower
gardens to plots selected
and dug by the post gar
dener. The other DEGREES
that all dogs on the island
shall be chalned or on leash
when out of doors, that
they shall be registered at
post headquarters and that
no new dogs shall be al
lowed.
Famous Housekeeper"
Since assuming command last
December. General Ely has
shown himself a stickler for
naatness and cleanliness. he
has had old shacks torn down,
he has ordered wood work
painted, he has issued regula-
lions for the disposal Of gar
haze. He has thought Of more
wavs in which the post could De
tidied up than would occur TO
the most fastidious housekeeper.
And moreover, ihe has seen to II
personally that his orders were
carried out to the letter.
An Offending Tin

that the General has been in the
habit of walking all over the post

This regime of DISTINGUISHES
isn't particularly popular. some
of the older inhabitants remember
the halcyon days under other COM
manders when their dogs had the
run of the island, and they could
raise radishes and chard to their
hearts content and arrange their
flower beds as their individual
tastes dictated.
Admittedly, General Ely's regp.
iations will make the island more
ship-shape. but the inhabitants
can see little pleasure in planting
and raising ph.ox in a designated
spot when they want to have lark
spur somewhere else.
The new regulations have al.
ready begun to have their effect
end several dogs have already been
impounded.
There are SIS registered dogs on
the post, and most of the families
have their own vo"-~' le gardens.
What vegetables they had planted
by May 81 they may still tend and
bring to maturity. But after the
SIS dogs die or depart for more
