ROMAGNE-8OUS-MONTFAUCON, France, May 21.—Nearly two-thirds of the American Gold Star Mothers looked for the first time today on their soldier sons’ graves in the principal American military _cemetery here. There are buried in this cemetery half of America’'s war dead in this country. The sky itself was tinged with sad- ness and rain cut short the pilgrimage after an hour Many of the mothers had brought evergreen wreaths, some entwined with flowers. Others found wreaths ready for them here. Some brought little American flags which they placed on the graves. Go in Groups. The mothers, almost 200 of them, went in little groups to different parts of the cemetery and there prayed at the graves of their boys. There was some cobbing, and all were wet-eyed as they lived over again the day their sons departed, the long months of anguished waiting, and the saddest day of all, when came word of death. » When, after an hour a squall of rain came, the mothers were hurried by the | accompanying officers to the hostess house, where they conforted each other and had. lunch.

DOCTORS BOTHER GOLD STAR MOTHER 92-Year-0ld Woman Boards Ship With Relief to Sail for French Grave. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—It was with a sign of relief that Mrs. Elizabeth G. Hutchins, 92 years old, went aboard the S. S. George Washington today to sail for France with the third con- tingent of 262 gold star mothers. Mrs. Hutchins was all tired and not, she explained, from the effects of her five-day trip across the country from her home in Oakland, Calif. “It’s the doctors,” she said. “They ‘won't leave me alone. They think I'm too old to go to France—I, who still earn my living by running a rooming house out in Oskland—and they keep pestering the life out of me.” Mrs, Hutchins, who, besides being a gold star mother, is also a member of an organization formed nearly 70 years ago by young women who wanted to knit socks for the Union soldiers in the Civil War, is en route to France to visit the"grave of - her stepson, Creighton Hutchins.

KELLY LUMBER & MILLWORK ) IRISH POLIGEMAN SUCCEEDS WHALEN Edward Mulrooney Works Way From Ranks to Head 18,000 Men. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—A man who pounded a beat back in 1896 today commands the 18,000 officers and men of New York's Police Department. Edward P. Mulrooney, 55 years old, who succeeds Grover A. Whalen as po- lice commissioner. joined the depart- ment as & patrolman when he was 21 years old and the late Theodore Roose- velt was commissioner. Fighting river pirates along the wa- ter front, aiding in rescue work at the burning of the excursion boat Slocum, directing the handling of the swarming throngs at the Dempsey-Firpo fight and trailing crooks through the under- world have been part of the career of the new police commissioner. ‘Mulrooney’s father, an immigrant from Ireland, was a river pilot. The new police commissioner was raised on Lower Manhattan and educated in the public schools. At 17 he went on the river with his father and obtained a pilot’s license. Deserts River for Sidewalks. Answering an advertisement by Po- lice Commissioner Roosevelt for police- H.[men, he deserted the river for the sidewalks of New York. In 1913 he be- came a leutenant and 10 years later n made him a deputy spector and the next year he became an inspector. In the reorganization that Commis- sioner Whalen effected when he took office Mulrooney was placed in charge of the detective force. March 1, last, the position of assistant chief inspector was created for him. In that position he was in charge of the entire uni- formed force. He lives with his wife and two daugh- ters in the Bronx. Dental Clinic at Leonardtown. Special Dispatch to The Star.

LONDON, May 20.— The Ramsay Macdonald Labor cabinet yesterday lost its first member and the incident has created high interest in political circles. Sir Oswald Mosley, the millionaire Socialist baronet, resigned as chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Opponents of the Labor government halled the resignation as a shattering blow to the government's prestige. Even Labor suj porters lamented the 10ss to the minis- try of one of its most active and able supporters. Sir Oswald's action arose out of dis- satisfaction with the _government’s policy toward unemployment. It had been_ said from the beginning of the dling of this problem, and the opposi tion lost no opportunity to tell the country that both J. H. Thomas, whom they called “minister of unemploy- ment,” and the government as a whole had “failed dismally” in this task. Revolt in Labor’s Ranks. More seriously still for Macdonald's ministry, & revolt against the Thomas policy in Labor's own ranks has been growing. In a division on a question LEE HIGHWAY and GLEBE ROAD, CHERRYDALE, VA. Iast night several Laborites, as well as certain Liberals, abstained from voting. Macdonald government scraped | through by only 15 votes. Recently, in an_effort to “ginger up"” | thelr chiefs, Sir Oswald and two other ministers pi a memorandum giv- ing their views toward solution of un- employment. The nature of it has| not been disclosed, but it is under- | stood that the memorandum was not | accepted by either Macdonald or Thomas That fact was the immediate cause of the resignation. ‘Work of Three Men. ‘The Daily Herald, organ of the Labor | government, said in its early edition | that the memorandum whose rejection led to Sir Oswalds resignation was the | joint work of three men. They were Sir Oswald, George Lansbury, commis- sioner of works, and Tom Johnston, | undersecretary for Scotland. | Two main heads were the pensioning of aged workers and the raising of loans for about £250,000,000 (about $1,250,000,000) to finance schemes to give work to the unemployed. | The pensioning proposal was, based on the theory that 677,000 men and |* women over the age of 60 might with- | | draw from their jobs if offered a week- | ly pension for life of 30 shillings. It was not assumed that all would accept. | In any case, the three Labor officials | estimated that the cost of the scheme | would diminish annually. | By this plan they hoped to provide 300,000 places gn industry for younger workers.
