HULL LIKELY -SUCCESSOR Change in Army Position Febru- ary 15, Retirement Date Is April 11. Maj. Gen. Enoch C. Crowder, judge advocate general of the Army, who has been in Cuba for many months e snacial representative of President Harding ' to_as- sist in 'thé re- establishment of the finageial af- fairs of that re- public, will shortly relin- quish his mili- tary office in this city and go .on the retired list of the Army, but probably w.ill continue his semi - diplomatic functions in the Cuban capital for some time to Maj. Gen. Crowder. come. Questions affecting his fu- ture status and duties are now under consideration by the President and Secretary Hughes, who desire his re- tention ‘in Cuba, and by Secretary Who is considering the se- lection’ of his successor as head of the: military department of justice. During Gen. Crowder's long_absence from this city Col. John A, Hull has been acting as judge advocate gem- eral and is mentioned as his possible successor in that office. Retirement in April. Gen. Crowder’s latest four-year de- tail as judge advocate general wili expire February 15, but he will not reach the statutory age for compul- sory retirement until April 11, nearly two months later. Under the law, if he is retired while serving as judge advocate general with the ex-officio grade of major general, he will re. taln that grade on the retired list. In the event, however, that he does not hold that staff office at the time of his retirement he will be retired as a colonel, which is the regular grade he holds. in. the judge advocate general’s department. ~ Counting his four years at_the Military Academy, Gen. Crowder 'has served over forty- five vears in the Army and is eligible for Tetirement at any time on his own application, with the President's approval, under provisions of the service retirement clause. Reappointment Unlikely. Because of the brief period of ac- tive military service remaining to Gen. Crowder It is practically settled that he will not be reappointed judge advocate general on the expiration of his present term, February 15. At the same time, to prevent his statu- tory retirement for age in a reduced grade in April next, it is planned that he shall be retired on his own application in the grade of major general before his present detail ex- pires. No date has been fixed, as far as known, but it probably will A Dill is pend- n to authorize Gen. Crowder’s retirement in the grade of lieutenant general in speclal recog- nition of his valuable services fn or- ganizing and conducting the draft for the world war. It is strongly intimated at the State Department that Gen. Crowder will continue his special duties in Cuba so long as the President deems it desirable for him to remain there, regardless of wheth- er he remains oh the active list of the Army or not. Retired officers frequently are assigned to active duty, even of a_non-military charac. ter, when 'the President deems such service essential to the Interest of the government. It is recalled that both Gen. Wood, governor general of the Philippines, -and Col. Morrow, governor of the Panama Canal Zone, are on the retired list of the Army. ing in Congress COAL MEN TO PARLEY.

Dryest New Year s Day in History, Ofticial’s View Acting Prohibition Commission- er Jones yesterday issued a state- ment in which he declared the first day of 1923 had been the dryest in America’s history and would be followed by 364 “equally as arid.” “In every city in the United States,” he said, “we demonstrated to New Year revelers that the dry. act ¢an and will be enforced. Tele- graphic reports from our agents in all sections of tas country say that there was less evidence of lawlessness New Year eve and New Year day than ever before. “An effort is being made, of course, to exaggerate the remote instances where there was trou- ble, but the fact remains that our agents enforced the law. The peo- ple were werned in advance that | we would be on the job, and for this reason thousands of them l were afraid to violate the law. “It was a big thing, because it was the first time we have had enough men. to-do what we wished to do. And it was a big thing because it demonstrates to the people what we will continue to do.

The car service division of the American Railway Assoclation” reports that more cars were loaded with 1922 than ever before in the history of the railroads. * Loading of grain and gratn products alone: increased approximately” 7 per cent over 1921, when such shipments were the heaviest on record. There 150 was an.increase in 1932 in the number of cars loaded with grain and grain products of approximately 33 .)per cent over 1920. For the fifty weeks this year com- plete . reports show (2,370,625 cars lead- ed with grain.and grain products. This was an increase of 144,780 cars, compared with the same period last year, and an increase of 585,634 'S over the corresponding perfod in 1920. A new rec in the number of cars loaded with all commodities, ex- cept coal, was also made fin 1932, ‘when there was an increase of more than 15 per cent over 1921 and nearly 3 per cent over 1820. Loading of ail commodities other than coal amount: ed ‘to 35,074,090 cars from January 1 this year to December 16. This wat an_incrasse of ' 4,680,720 cars com- ared -with the corresponding. period fast year and an increase of 938,138 cars compared with the correspond- ing period in 1920. . Notwithstanding the five-months’ codl strike, coal production.in 1922 nearly equals that of last year. rallroads in 1922 also moved more merchandise and- miscellaneous freight, which includes manufactured products, than ever before in history, there having' been an increass of ap- proximately 14 per cent {n the num- ber of cars loaded in 1922 over 1921 and annroxlma.talz 6 per cent over 1520, when . freight trafflc was the heaviest in the.

IN HANDS OF PREMIERS Schedule of Deliveries to French Believed Too Severe by By tiie Associated Press. PARIS, January France -has asked the reparations commission to declare Germany in voluntary de- fault of her coal deliveries, which, it is claimed, have been running much below the schedule framed at the Spa conferéncé in *1920. Louis Barthou, president of the commission, French delegate, asked today that the ques- tion be discussed at the regular meet- ing next Friday.. This step is regarded.in. British circles as an attempt to strensthen the French claim, as, when the com- mission last week declared Germany in voluntary default of her timber de- liveries the British delegate is report- ed to have argued that the value of the deliveries, $500,000, appeared ra- ther Insignificant ‘s the basis for such drastic action. The amount in- volved in the shortage of coal deliv- erles also is placed at $500,000. The: reparations commission, it is understood, has been reliably inform- ed ' that Germany has lately been obliged to import large consi, ents £ coal from the United Kingdom, and the British delegation is.of the opin- ion that the -schedule of deliveri: . {agricultural products during the year | {rom Germany to France is .too re. The feeling is also expressed in British reparations circles that the reparations problem has for the time being been taken out of the commis-. sion's hands by the allled premiers, and should the coal question come up on- mend-that it be postponed until the premiers adjourn. : ————— Ap first assistant to the national di- rector .of the American Red 88, Miss Ida F.

A H S Mail Clerk Held For Taking Fresh Eggs for Stale By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, January 2—With the arrival of the new year comes the story of “fresh country egg” pil- fering. For weeks post office inspectors have been puzzled by the substi- tution of cold storage eggs for fresh country eggs shipped by parcel post from Clarion county - to Erie, Pa., and Wheeling, W. Va. The first complaint was made to Inspector George V. Craighead of Pittsburgh by the purchasers of the “fresh country eggs,” who & clared the eggs were “off color.” An investigation shOwed that the egg containers had been tampered with. Other fresh eggs were shipped, but when they reached thelr destination thore was an un- mistakeble staleness about them, Inspector Craighead sald. Today-Orton E.
