BILLARD, BLLARD IS NAVED COAST GUARD HEAD Aide to Commandant Nom- inated to Be Rear Admiral in Charge of Service. Frederick C. Billard of Maryland now serving with the rank of com- mander as aide to the commandant of the coast guard, was nominated | today by President Coolidge to be commandant of the coast guard, with the rank of rear admiral. He will succeed Rear Admiral Willlam E. Reynolds, who retires because of age next month. Commander Bil'ard is a native of the District of Columbla, has been over twenty-nine years in the serv- ice, and If his appointment is con- firmed by the Senate will become the head of the government's arm of the service which has been selected by the President for a greatly increased drive against the smuggling of liquor Secretary of the Treasury Mellon was understood today to have recom- mended to the President appointment of Commander Billard following a spirited contest for the position of commandant, in which the other two principal contenders were Capt A. Henderson at_headquarters here and Commander H. C. Hamlet, In co mand of one of the coast guard div sions on the west coast. Position Grows In Importance. The position of commandant of the, coast guard, for which Commander Billard was nominated, becomes of im- mensely increased interest on account {of the President's approval of the big campalgn by that service against the rum-smugglers. For this purpose, the President has approved the proposed in- crease of the voast guard, by which it would be practicaily doubled in size and | in number of boats, and whereby an increased appropriation of $28,500,000 would be asked of Congress. The manner In which the increased appropriation for the coast guard will be presented to Congress has not yet been determined by the administration, but plans were understood today to be in, progress for drafting a bill The coast guard, with its traditions of 130 years' mervice, its stern dis- cipline and ““freedom from politics,” is belleved by the administration to be an admirable outfit to throw against the rum-smuggiers. The commandant of this' doubled fleet of rum-chasers will thus have on his hands the biggest problem of any coast guard comman- dant in history. Other duties of the coast guard| for gwhich it has been responsible for fears include the saving of life and ‘property from the sea, the in- ternational ice patrol in the Atlantic ocean and widespread law enforce- ment work in Alaskan waters. Rear Admiral W. E. Reynolds, orig- inal appointment expired bor 1 of this year, but he was glven an extension of time untll January 11, 1924, when he will retire from active list of officers on account of ixty-four years. A mmander Biliard, who is under- to be the first District Columbia native to be mentioned to command one of the government's armed forces, was born In the Dis- trict September 22, 1873. He was appointed to the Coast Guard Academy from Maryland gnd graduated there- d in his class. He has O Service at sea and at head- Uarters here, where he has been on Uty for several years Commander Billard's service at sea as on cpast, Gulf of Mexico, Hawailan Is- the Atlantic coast, Paclfic lands and in the war zone in Euro- posn waters during the world war. | ring the Spanish war he served o: a "ellel attached to the Pacific squadron.

Aphrodite, operating in European turned from Europe in May, and in September was detailed as alde to the commandant in Wash- ington, where he has served contin- uously since as principal adviser to the commandant. Among coast guard officers it s sald that Commander Billard is the selection of the majority, although the other two contestants were said to have their followers. —_— UTILITIES BOARD.

Bishop Freeman re- iterated his statement made at the time of the layinz of the corner stone ot the Masonic George Washington Memorial at Alexapdria and con- demned any organizatfon that sought to disfupt the good will of men. “Any man who belongs to an or- ganization that works in the dark and seeks to cleave the good will in poli- ties or religion of the people in this country is not 100 per cent American —there is something lgcking,” de- clared Bishop, Freeman. Bishop Free- man spoke of the satisfactory prog- ress being made in Washington on the cathedral drive and -pointed out the need of such an edifice in the National Capital. Today was ladies’ day.
