Allen, com- manding the small American Army of about 1,200 men in the valley of the Rhine, admitted to be in a posi- tion of the utmost responsibility in the present Kuropean crisis, will reach the age of sixty-four years *April 13, and automatically will be iransferred to the retired list of the Army/ It is declared to be within the discretionary power of the Presi- dent to retain Gen. Allen in his prex- ent command beyond the date named in spite of his compulsory retirement, in case it should be deemed to the interest of the government to do so. But that is a question depending en- tirely on developments of the future, it Is sald, and does not have to be determined at this time. ¥ Furthermore, it is pointed out, in (view of the action of the Senate on that question, American troops may be withdrawn from Germany in the near future and before the date of Gen. Allen's retirement. No Orders for Withdrawal. In that event, the question of Te- «tention of that officer in command, or of naming an_officer the active ist to succeed him, will not arise. Tt was oflicially stated at the State and War departments today that no orders have been issued for the with- drawal of the troops on the Rhine, and that there has heen no recent Ghange in the status of that question Definite action along that line is said to depend on eventualities between now and next Monday, which is the time limit set by the French govern- ment for moving into the Ruhr in case that course of action is deter- mined upon. The impression prevails in military circles that in case American troops remain in Germany beyond the date of Gen. Allen's retirement he will be continued in command 6f them by es- pecial direction of the President. Even in case the troops were ordered home at once it would take at least three weeks to complete the movement, re- gardless of the availubility of suitablg transportation by land and water. Gen. Allen’s Record. Allen is from Kentucky, and graduated from tk ¥ Academy in June, His_early serv s in the cav. alry, but in the Spanish war he serv the volunteer adjutant gen- department and in the Philip- pine insurrection in the volunteer in- fantry. In the world war he held the rank of major general in the National Army and was awarded the aistinguished service medal for his services in France. He was appoin % ed major general in the Regular Arm in July, 1920. He has Leen highly commended by administration offi- clals for the tact and diplomatic skill with which delicate duties in Germany armistice, it was because of the seriousness of the European situation that Gen. Allen’s name was omitted from the list of general officers nearing the age of retirement who were request- ed by Secretary Weeks to advance the date of retirement voluntarily befdre January 1 so as to permit the promotion of certain feld officers to brigade rank before that date, after which it would have been impossible.

GARFIELD TOTAKE | MEMORIAL GIFTS Donations to Aid $500,000 Hospital Campaign = May Form Lasting Monuments. the five-hundred- sarfleld ‘Hospital campaign, which will begin Friday, announced last night that memorial gifts will be accepted, and declared it | their belief that opportunity to par- i ticipate in this way in the enlarge- ment of the hospital will appeal to those who would render a service to | humanity that will continue beyond their own lives and will for genera- tions be held in grateful remem- brance. In every instance where memorial gifts are made, it was stated, a bronze tablet bearing the name of the giver with an appropriate inscription v be placed in that part of the hospital which is built by such subscriptions, When the gift is made in honor of another, the memorial will be in- scribed "on the tablet and also the name of the donor, if desired. “These memorial gifts are not alone { to commemorate the dead, but_the living as. well,” said Chairman Clar- last night. “Indi- { viduals, families, organizations rarely have such zn excellent oppo: tunity to create permanent memorials and at the same time render a public service of the highest value. Mem- bers of a family may unite in a gift to be dedicated to the memory of a father, mother or other relative.” Range of Gifts. In the nurses’ home memorial gifts will range upward from $1,200. For the information of prospective donors of such gifts, the hospital authorities are raking public the following sources for memorials. For §1,200 the subseriber may provide a bedroom, $1,500 and $1,800, larger bedrooms, and $2,100, the ten largest. A recep- tion _room ‘may be established for 2,400, classrooms, $3,000; library, $6,000; lecture room, $10,000, and recreation room, §12,000. In the central building a private room for patients can be provided for $2,100. There are thirty-two of these. Ten, slightly larger, will cost $2,400 each, while _twelve, still_ larger, $3,000 each. For $4,200 a room with private bath can be constructed, larger ones for $5,000, and the largest | outside corner rooms with private baths, for $6,000 each. Provision has ibeen made for other memorials rang- ing up to $75,000. All memorial gifts may be paid in six ‘parts, semi-annuaily, begin- ning February 15. EXPIRES AT HOSPITAL. {Mrs. La Vern J.

CLAYTOR EXPIRES. Death Claims Widow of Richard Claytor in Maryland. Mrs. Helen Ash Claytor of West River, Md., died at the family resi- dence there yesterday. Death was due to the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Claytor was the widow of Richard {Claytor. She is survived by three children—Mrs. Griffin, wife of Com- modore T. D. Griffin, U. S. N, retired; Miss Annie Claytor of Annapolls and Dr. Thomas A. Claytor of 1826 R street, this city. ° No arrangements for the funeral have been announced, The interment will be at West Rive: Executives of thousand-dollar Mrs | six {and West Virginia, | three EXPERTS MUST GAMBLE Victory Likely to Fall to Those ‘Who Guess Which Factor Is to Become Dominant. Mutual agreement by the leading Wworld powers, under the- Washington conference treaty, to reduce and limit the size of war craft will not alter competition even though it has changed the conditions of competitive building among them, American naval officers here believe. A battle of wits, rather than a battle of dollars, lies ahead for the sea powers of the world, they point out. Naval experts must gamble on the) soundness of their conclusions as to what*future naval battles will be like, If they guess correctly, it is asserted, and stress what is to prove the domi- nant factor when the clash comes, whether it be speed, armor, gu tor- pedo protection, aircraft capacity or the wise combination of all these ele- ments, the ships they plan may some | day have a deciding voice in directing | the course of world history. Competition Is Under Way. Already, it is declared, competition capital craft designing i5 unde y. The British, as fermitted under the treaty, a preparing to build two post-Jutland battleships, the first post-treaty capital craft to be de-| signed, and whic¢h cannot be matched | by any other signatory power untill the battleship , replacements begin. | The United Stdtes cannot lay down | new battleship keels until 1931 under the treaty replacements schedules. There has been no official disclc of the D!:Ans for the two new Britis ships. Frequent items recently in the British press, however, have given what appears to be a cl picture of the ships which pres vessels so strikingly superior to any thing now afloat that they will queen the s until 1934, when the new American replacement battieships can be commissioned. © Will Be Maximom Size. Under the treaty the new British ships may have a maximum size of 000 tons standard displacement, as fined by the treaty. That means fifhlns weighing 35,000 tons without fuel or extra feed-water aboard. By pre-treaty measurements such shi would have been rated at from 38, to 40,000 tons, depending upon the cruising radius for which they were designed and the consequent amount | of fuel storage provi Press accounts indicate that the new Brit- ish ships will be of this maximum treaty size. 3 The American battleships Colorado to be retained under the treaty, displace 32,600 tons ; with two-thirds of their fuel and | consumable stores aboard. Roughly | { | in w speaking, they are 5.000 tons or more smaller than the probable size of the forthcoming British craft. The mon- ster American battleships not to be | completed under the treaty are rated | at 43,200 tons, or. roughly 000 tons | larger than the British indicated de- | sign. i Adopt American Prietice. The Colorado and West Virginia | each carrles main batteries of cight | 16-inch guns, mounted two to a tur- ret, with a maximum range of well over 30,000 yards. The unofficial re- | ports credit the new British design | ‘with nine 1 nch guns each, mounted | three to a turret, which would be the | first British adoption of this Amer- ican practice. With the main battery consolidated thus in three turrets, it is indicated | that the British designers are pre- parjng to use the huge deck sweep airplane take-off, landing and storage, | There has been some hint that all turrets would be on the for- ward deck, giving up the entire after deck to aircraft and making each battleship, a potential airplane car- rier as well. There is no official con- firmation of this point. The indicated length of the British ships is close to 680 feet. The Ameri. can Colorado class measure 624 feet | over: all and the abandoned Idaho! class 684 feet, so that if the unofficial forecasts are correct. the British craft will be virtually as big to look at as the American ships which are | to be scrapped under. the treaty. The | Idaho class wold have carried elve 16-inch guns eachNhowever. Whatever may be the facts as to the | new British design, it is certain that | they embody every lesson the Britieh | learned in the war and represent the! judgment of British experts as to the most likely developments of the next naval engagements to be fought When the United States may, under the treaty, lay down new battleship keels it will not be possible to put superior ships in the water merely by | increasing the size and adding to of- fensive and defensive equipment, as| has been the casen the past. It is only by refinement of design, by sav- | ing welght in the ship herself to per- | mit increase In her fighting power, that an advance can be/made. 1 | JOHN J. BARRETO DEAD. | John J.
