Bell was one of the most popular gineer Commissioners to serve the District, and when his tour of duty ex- pired in 1927, local citizens' organiza- tions and trades bodies petitioned for an extension of his service here, so that | the National Capital might bencfit by his understanding and interest in Dis- trict government matters. The request was declined because of the policy of the Army to give its engincer officials experiences in different fields. Farewell memoria’s adopted by local organizations praised the scrvice which he had rendered to the District in his four-year assignment here. Col. Bell now is at San Francisco as engineer officer at headquarters of the 9th Corps Area. He will be placed on the retired list of the Army the latter part of this month.

Fries, retired chief of the Chemical Warfare Service, attacked as “mollycoddlism” the pres- ent day tendency to overemphasize the kind treatment of inmates of peniten tiaries, .during a talk yesterday at a luncheon of the Lions Ciub at the May- flower Hotel. “There is no need to ‘be extraordi- narily kind to prisoners when before their confinement . they respected no rights of society,” Gen. Fries declared. “I am for capital punishment, and want to commend the Board of Trade for its action in opposing the movement to do away with the death penalty for capital offenses in the District of Co- lumbia. Why should any effert be made to save the life of a murderer after he has taken a life?” ‘The remarks on the treatment of prisoners were made in the course of a patriotic address, during which Gen. Fries predicted that the next war will witness a greater use of poisonous gas and aircraft than did the last. He said that in the World War this country was unable to use mustard gas until about a year after i, was used by the enemy be- cause of inadequate chemical knowledge. He advocated preparedness as a safe- guard against future wars. Special entertainment was provided by a group from the Costello Post of the American Legion. The up included Billle Bernle, Eddie Morris, Jack Lynch and Arnold Irons. HAGERSTOWN ORGANIST TO GIVE RECITAL HERE R. A. McMichael to Present Pro- gram at Bethany Baptist Church Tomorrow Night. R. A.
