By HERBERT c. PLUMMER GA. F. Feature Writer)

WASHINGTON, Mar ol 4.-Wien Mai. Cen. John A. Leieune retires as ccmmandan6 of the Unite q States marines tomorrow. his com rades say that the greatest "leath- erneck7 of them all will pass from that post
 Lejeune, they say, is one of the best soldiers of his day, but it is his big heart and strength of char acter those associated with him will remember. There have been few commandants better loved than he, CT one who has come so close to the hearts of his men
 Tn an official document on file in Washington he is described as 'po- sessed of those traditional charac- teristics of American marine off cers-coolness and courage in face of the most extreme peril"
 No man connected with the corps would wish a higher compliment.
 General Lejeune was graduated from Annapolis in 1888, a member of the class with Admirals Robin son. Hughes, and Secretary Wilbur. He ranked high in standing
 Test of Fitness
 The test of his fitness came his first year out while he was a cadet on the U. s. S. Vandaha in the Samoan islands. March 15. 18S1, the vessel was wrecked in these waters, and young Lejeune so con- ducted himself that he drew praise from his superior officers.
 General Lejeune's career as a marine started with the completion of this required two-year cruise. He joined the corps as a second lieutenant in 1890, and step by step rose to the rank Of command ant. He served throughout the Spanish American war as first lieutenant in command of the ma rine guard aboard the U. s. s. Cin- sinnati

President Not Only Against War for U. 5. but for

WASHINGTON, March 4.-With simple and forceful language re- flective of his own personality; President Herbert Hoover dedicated himself and his Administration to law enforcement at home and the promotion of peace throughout the world.

It must not cone to be in or Repualic -thass t can be defeated 9sy the iilzs;fferei Of piti- gems, by the exploitation Of delays and entanglenents of law or by the combination of criminals"
 Failure of States
 Turning to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, Hoo- yer asserted that abuses which have grown up around it are due in part to the failure of some States to accept their share of the responsi- bility of concurrent enforcement and to the failure of many State and local officials to zealously en- force the law. But the large re- sponsibility," he said, rests directly upon our citizens He said that there would be little traffic in il- legal liquor if only criminals pat ronized the bootleggers. The duty of citizens to support the law is CO., equal with the duty Of their Gov ernment to enforce the laws which exist. Our whole system of self government will crunble either if officials elect what laws they will enforce or the citizens elect what laws they will support. The worst evil of disregard for some laws is that it destroys respect for all law

 Surprising enough, there was It. tle discussion of the national cleo ton of November which sent half 2 dozen senate and two score mem bers of the House into the lame duck" classification. There were few swan songs-tlle past was past and before the session was many days old, the house was at work on the important tariff revision legis- lation promised by the Republican campaigners.
 Opening of hearings by the House ways and means committee on the tariff constituted 6 novelty in legis- latiye procedure. for the subject could not and did not get before this session. It was a move to give the next Congress a running start on that problem and to that end 1t was successful.

'GALE HALTS TRIP
| OF GIANT A|RSH|P
II Members of Parliament
Take Luncheon Aboard
DirigibIe.

BY the Associated Press.
CARDINGTON, England, November
23.-Bad weather conditions today
forced postponement for the second
time of flight of 70 members of
parliament in the new giant British
dirigible R-101.
Despite a drizzling rain, the parlia-
mentary party left London this morn
ing for Cardington, but while 1t was
en- route the weather at the air field
grew worse and 1t was definitely decided
to give up today's trip.
Lord Thomson, air minister, issued
an official message to the passengers
saying that weather conditions had
proved more unsuitable than had been
forseen. The wind at times blowing in
gusts at a rate of so miles an hour.
winds of gale force are forecast,
said Lord Thomson. IF the airShip
left, these might render her return to
her landing tower slow and difncult
operation"
Most of the passengers already had
been taken up by an elevator to the
airShip but while the last batch was
waiting to ascend one of the heavy
weights broke. away and crashed to the
bottom leaving the lift suspended half
way up the tower. They climbed to
the top.
The members OF parliament motored
so miles to the airship base only to be
disappointed.
Their only consolation was lunch
con aboard the big dirigible.
