SO Army and Navy News Army. Maj. Gen. Merritte W. Ireland's turn as surgeon general of the expires October 30. Officers of the Medical Corps who have been men- tioned to succeed him are Cols. W. P. Chamberlain, O. F. Duval, 8. J. Mor- ris, P. M. Ashburn, M. A. DeLaney, T. L. Rhoads, C. R. Reynolds, R. U. Pat- terson, W, L. Keller, J. W. Grissinger and J. F. Stler. | It is by no means a certainty that Gen. Ireland will not be retained as surgeon general, in which event a va- | cancy at the head of the department will not occur until that officer reached | the age requiring statutory retirement in May of 1931. In view' of the fact that the new Chief of Staff, Gen. MacArthur, will assume his new dutles in November, three or four weeks after the expira- tion of Gen. Ireland’s term of office, it ‘would occasion no surprise if the latter officer’s successor would not be ap- pointed until after Gen, MacArthur takes office. With the candidates for the Army Olympian equestrian team now en- in their preliminary training that will continue until December, offi- cials responsible for the formation of a nucleus for the team have stressed the fact that the problem of developing | riders and horses is not limited to the | mounted branches of the service. ‘While the mounted branches will have more riders and horses avatlable, per- haps, it is mot the intention of Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry, Chief of Cavalry, who has been designated as the War Department representative in all m: ters pertaining to the participation of the Army in the 1932 Olympics, to limit the selection of riders anc horses to the mounted arms. A particular event has been assigned to each Cavalry regiment, for which horses are to be trained and developed within the regiment, and from time to time corps area commanders will re- port to the War Department the prog- ress being made within their corps areas in furthering this plan. If suit- able prospects—riders and horses—are known to be available in the various corps areas, an opportunity will be given these individuals for a try-out for the 1932 equestrian team. Navy. ‘Though Admiral Charles F. Hughes will reach the statutory retirement age of 64 years on October 14, he will not be transferred to the retired list of the Navy until November 1. This is the result of a recently enacted statute which simplifies accounting and pro- vides that retirements for age, phys- ical disability and upon own applica- tion shall take effect on the of the month after they become due. Ad- miral Hughes will remain on duty as Chief of Naval Operations, Navy De- CITETY MRS. JAMES White HO“SC partment, until November 1, the date of his retirement under the new law. With the winning by the U. 8.'S. New Mexico of the Navy's battle ef-|’ ciency pennant for the third consecu- tive year, the officers and men aboard that vessel have establishéd a new rec- ord. During the past competitive year the New Mexico been commanded by Capt. A, E. Watson. Other officers on the New Mexico whose services were instrumental in bringing both the battle efficlency pennant and the gun- { nery trophy to the New Mexico were: Comdrs. R. S. Edwards and F. A. Daubin, Lieut. Comdrs. R, R. Thom son, F, 8. Low and L. O. Alford; Li H. R. Thurber, W. E. Smith, C. H. Murphy, J. H. Cartér, W. N. UpedegrafT, M. M. Dupre, C. Wellborn, jr., and W. L. Preseman, and Lieut. (junior grade) ‘W. M. Hyman. For vessels of the light cruiser class, the U. 8. S. Concord won the battie efficiency pennant. This vessel was commanded by Capt. J. P. Lanno, U. 8. N. Other officers contributing to the excellent performance of this vessel were: Comdr. . R. .Smith, Lieut. Comdr. Granat, Lieut. Comdr. L. R. Vail, Litut. (junior grade) Willlam Kirten and Ensign R. H. Speck. The U. §. 8. Omaha, commanded by Capt. John Downer, was winner of the gunnery trophy for vessels of the light cruiser class. In addition to Capt. Downer, letters of commendation have been sent to the following officers on this vessel: Comdr. Ellis Landox, execu- tive officer; Lieut. Comdr. Frank E. Beatty, gunnery officer; Lieut. Ellsworth D. McEathron, spotter, and Lieut. Daniel F. Worth, assistant gunnery and fire control officer. The U. 8. S. Barker, commanded by Comdr. E. J. Gillam, was awarded the highest merit in gunnery among vessels of the destroyer class. ‘Three or four chief machinists or ma- .chinists will be assigned by the Navy Department to undergo the course in optical instruction at the Washington Navy Yard. This course will begin about January 5 and will include six months' work at Washington fol- Jowed by two or three at Dahigten, Va. Applications. for assignment to this course should reach the Bureau of Navi- gation by October 1, 1930. ‘The' U. 8. 8. Vestal, commanded by Capt. W. .R. Van Anken, one of the oldest ships in commission in the Navy, has been awarded the trophies for auxiliary and tender class in both engi- neering and gunnery, and also the bat- tle efficiency pennant in that class. Naval Observation Plane Squadron 9 of the Marine Corps has been awarded the gunnery trophy for attaining the highest merit in aircraft gunnery in the observation and scouting class. No other squadron in this class attained a merit within 95 per cent of VO-9M. Maj. James E. Dawis, U. S. M. C.. is the resent commanding officer of Observa- ion Squadron 9M, having relieved Ma). Francis T. Evans in July of this year. ‘The number of chief warrant and warrant officers of the Navy has, for the last several years, remained about the same, the number appointed each year about equaling the number separated from the service. During this time, however, there has been an increased demand for the services of chief war- rant and warrant officers, notably for the new cruisers and to a less extent as naval aviators. In view of the above circumstances it will not be possible for the present fiscal year to keep all vessels provided with the number of chief warrant and warrant officers given in the allowance list. Some vessels will have to carry vacaneies.. It will also not be possible this year to continue a rotation of three years' sea duty to two years' shore duty for all chief warrant and warrant officers, in submarine imstruction, the duratis of which is about six months, will begin at_the submarine base at New Yondon, Conn., on Janu- ary 5, 1931. Officers who will have completed two or more years' sea duty are eligible for submarine training. ‘Those who are eligible for this assign- ment are reminded that a submarine is practically the only type of ship that they will be eligible to command until they have been out of the Naval Acad- emy for approximately 15 years, and that this duty is good training for any line duties they may be called upon. to perform and for meny lines of tech- nical duty. A course -Anci;:t Theater. When the Roman conquered Gaul and established themselves in Provence they determined to have a good time while they were so far from home. Thousands of tourists in thern France see the extensive ruins of places where the conquering armies enjoyed recreation efter the hardship of battle. At Nimes is the great arena and the luxurious Baths of Diana. At Arles is BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. 1 Mrs. Hoover, it is reliably reported, does not intend making any of the| sweeping changes so frequently discussed by those absorbed in interior decora ing, either in the living quarters or state apartments of the White House.| ‘There are naturally many objects which | she would like eliminated and other fea- | tures she would enjoy introducing. But th. President’s wife is an exceedingly practical person, and recognizes that to plan changes, even of a trivial nature, requires more time than she has ..t her disposal just now. Some of the quaint furnishings of the sleeping suites give her unceasing delight, even though some of her vjsitors have said they| should be relegated to a museum. In| What is known as the blue guest room, one of the most spacious on the second floor, is & handsome walnut washstand of a pattern with the bed, bureau, table and chalrs, a perfect specimen of proper equipment’ some () years ago. On t.e wall behind the washstand is that once familiar Swiss “splasher” to prevent marring the wall paper, and in the prim way of the oldea habit are ranged the bowl and pitcher, the smaller pitcher for hot water and all the other accessories for the toilet in the years when' bath Tooms wsre scarce or un- known. Even what the past generation | called the ‘“waste jar’ rests on ifs| square of oflcloth, and a fine carved walnut towel ra k is nearby. A solon- didly appointed bath room leads from the sulte, but no mistress of the White House has felt willing to change this a,reelble presentation of the lavatory of the 1870s. winy M. Gaston Doumergue, bachelor Presi- dent of France, will complete his seven- | year term next Spring. At every mo- ment he could seize during the Summer he has hastened to his mugch-loved home in Algues 'Vives, near Nimes, to look after the orchards and vineyards, | in which he passes many happy hours | and from which he derives quite a| sizable income. One term of seven | years is fixed by law, and this Presi- dent of the French Republic, having performed every duty to his soul's con- tent, is not interesting himself at all in the choice of his successor. A scholarly man, with a deep inherited devotion | to the soil, he recently declared that| he will return to country life as gladly as Cincinnatus went back to the plow. | Aigues Vives is a tiny hamlet of the Midi, set on the flank of the green hills which lie between Nimes and | Lunel, and to every one of its 1,200 | inhabitants the retiring President is| known as M. Gaston, and they are all very fond of him and inordinately proud of having him as a citizen. In| the low, gray stone house where M. Doumergue was born, as were many | generations of his forefathers, his i nephew, Alfred (also a bachelor), or- phan son of his brother, keeps the home fires burning, ax: the small but capable household staff prepared for| the President’s unheralded visits. To| each and ‘every resident of the village! has Alfred communicated the latest news from Elysees Palace, the White House of Paris, during all the years that M. Gaston s resided there. All the people know that M. Gaston prefers to return home and again become a.. agri- culturist, and that he would not spend another seven years away from home | for any consideration. | okt Mrs. Walter E. Edge has’ a literary background, and long hefore she reached Paris in her present exalted role was interested in the efforts of a few ad- mirers or Du Maurier to locate and set apart for study the environment so thrillingly described in “Trilby” and “Peter Ibbetson.” Indeed, Mrs. Edge, as Camilla Sewall and an enthusiastic reader of “Trilby,” made several pil- grimages to the Seine and saw the 'necklace of bridges through the ador- ing eyes of Little Billle and sauntered along the Bois In fancy with the three jolly companions, Little Billee, the Laird and Taffy. But all that roman- tic section of old Paris in which Du Maurder, according to his own word. indulged the wild dreams of his youth | that centered around the lonely “pond in the Bois that has been swallowed up by the railroad tunnel, on the top of | which have been built formal, | monplace little villas, track quite robs the. p tude so often describecl. But the mem- ory of Henry James has been perma~- nently retained at Hiampstead Heath, near London, equally crowded and des- | titute of sentiment or appeal when the | renowned Bostonian placed it on the literary map. Du Maurier has a host | of genuine admirers, especially in the colony from the United States, and no doubt some measures will be adopted to preserve what semblance is left of Paris in Trilby's drariatic career and to mark vanished places with appropri- ate tablets. Like Dickens, Du Maurier described real places 1a his novels, and . a theater, and at Orange, 12 miles from Avignon, is another theater in such a good state of preservation that every Summer a company from the Comedie Francaise - presents there a. series of clastic mmhél It is a wonderful experience to rears and witneess a stting for which every vital spot has been identified and correctly placed in the general perspec- tive. * oKk ¥ Queen Mary of Britain regards wth pub!

Like all other royal dames of the present age, the Duchess of York indulges in a mild dose of | Lady Nicotine, while Princess Mary Lascelles is perhaps the most persistent smoker in the family, This princess no less than 20 exquisite gold cigarette cases and many smoking sets. Queen Victoria of Spain puffs daintily in pubie, and so do her daughters, and no one thinks of com- menting. Even that modest queen, Eliz- abeth of Belgium, does not disdain a meditative cigarette. Several of the grandes dames of the former Russian court who now keep high state at Deau~ ville, on the coast of Brittany, during Summer, puff exquisite small ivory and gold-inlaid pipes, which they fill with a specially prepared mixture on which they hold patents. It is surmised in royal circles that the interest manifest- ed in this Republic about the smoking habits of such exalted persons is merely a camouflaged form of advertisement, hoping to discover what brand of ciga- rette or tobacco is used, This knowi- edge is kept securely as a state secret. Even Queen Mary's attendants do not know the origin of her cigarettes. They are placed in a gold box devoid of every form of stamp or printing, and bear not only the royal monogram but also the date of their rolling. ERERE Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, sr., is the inspiration of the Long Island polo team, and not even the Secretary of the Navy is as solicitous about the de- fenders of the America Cup as is this lady about the champions of Meadow Brook whose prestige is this year seri- ously threatened by the invading Britons and - Australians. - The chal- lengers are this season entirely con- vinced that their mounts are noi, as formerly, hopelessly outclassed by the expensive ponies which the poloists of this country secure, but that in many points, primarily in speed, they are equal, if not superior.

Snakes are presented to the Gotham Zoo in larger numbers than is desirable, since the collection there is more for scien- tific study than as an attraction for visitors. A request for large-size rub- ber plants as a_ habitation for some of the Trecent snakes brought a regular forest of such gifts of a size which had outgrown the dimensions of the ordi- nary home, and as the zoo authorities sent for the gifts, they likewise showed their gratitude in relieving the owners of the incumbrances, White rats alsn enjoy a rubber plant, and the 200 in the Bronx has nearly 1,000 of these. i * ok * ¥ en Mile.

Marbury, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Marbury of Baltimore, a number of the older generation of Washingtonians will recall vividly the parents of the con- tracting parties, well known some 30 years ago. Mile. de la Forest Divonne Is the oldest of several daughters of the former Florence Audenreid, daughter of Mrs. Joseph C. Audenreid, one of the | accepted social leaders in the late 1890s and later. Mrs. Audenreid, widow of Col. Audenreid of the Army, introduced her daughter with eclat at a ball given her home in Vermont avenue just above K street. Miss Audenreid, a reigning belle, and Count Ludoyic de la Forest Divonne, an attache of the :::l!’:chmenmbm‘ dy under htl. Jules Pate- . conceived a romantic attaghment and took the short cut to Oretnl%reen. an impetuous action which caused a long estrangement between the mother and daughter. The union, however, was entirely happy, and the home of Count Ludovic Divonne at 55 Avenue Georges V is an important social point in Paris. The count and countess have returned to Washington and Philadelphia & few times and have brought their four daughters. Mr, Marbury, as the son of the eminent publicist and diplomat of Baltimore, who has resided in the Capi- tal at different times, is well known including the Metropolitan and the Rac- quet.

The old tavern had felt the ignominies of time, had de. scended in the scale from a dignified well appointed tavern frequented by the best of the land to a warehouse, and then to a saloon of unsavory re- pute. The New York City Sons of the American Revolution bought the tavern just in time to preserve it from utter destruction, and under Mr. Oly- phant's energetic leadership have re- stored it most satisfactorily, particu- larly the long room, a typical Queen Anne apartment, where Washington, John Adams and many eminent of the Nation's fathers foregathered in the opening 1770s.

John Hagen, S. J., is the only citizen of the United States included in the population of the new Vatican state, and, -“cording to recent news, he does not intend to change that status. Father Hagen was for years in charge of the Observatory at George- town University, and during his service there he became naturalized, for he was born in the Austrian Tyrol and made his first studies for holy orders before coming to this country. For a quarter of a century’ Father Hagen has been chief astropomer of the Vatican Observatory, but he plans retiring in a short time and returning to this country. The present Pontiff, like the head of the observatory, was born an Austrian subject in "that part of Northern Italy long mourned by Lom- bardy as “Il Irrendenta.” But the Pope automatically became an Italian citizen when Garibaldi’s ,army drove out the Austrians. Just 518 Ccitizens make up the population of Vatican City. Of these almost 400 are Italians, and the Swiss come next in number with 115, because of their ancient privilege to furnish the papal guards. France has 11 citizens, nearly all scholars retained in the libraries and scientific bureaus. Germany has 5, in- | cluding the eminent Cardinal Ehrle, | librarian of the Vatican.

Naval Reserves | With the return to her berth at the Washington Navy Yard Friday, the U. S. destroyer Abel P. Upshur completed her tour of duty in taking members of the 1st Battalion, United States Naval Reserves of the District of Columbia, for their annual periods of sea training. The ship has completed three voyages, carrying a fleet division of Reservists on each trip, and it will now be tied up Wt her dock for the Winter period. He- tween the present and the arrival of the severe Winter weather the officers and men of the several divisions com- posing the battalion will hold their weekly drills aboard the vessel. The ship returned to Washington im- mediately after completing target practice off the end of Long Island, and prior to that time it had been operat- ing with the destroyers of the Atlantic | Scouting Fleet in war games and m| neuvers off the coast of New England, basing at Newport, R. 1. Aboard tne vessel on the voyage just completsd were the 1st Fleet Division of the local battalion and a division from the Bal- timore, Md., contingent. ‘While the vessel arrived in port on Friday, the officers and men were not released from active duty until yes- terday, at which time they were paid for their service in the Navy. The gl’n(‘tl(‘e was inaugurated this year of aving the ship come in one day ahead so that the pay accounts of the men could be fixed up and the sailors mustered out in time. ‘The 1st Fleet Division which was on this cruise is commanded by Lieut. John M. Fewell, the other divisional officers being Lieuts. (junior grade) B. M. Coleman and J. E. Sullivan and Ensign Edwin M. Graham. Also on the cruise was Lieut. Paul V. Thomp- son, Volunteer Reserve, formerly an active member of the local battalion. The three destroyers of the Atlantic Scouting Fleet which brought the Re- serve divisions of Rochester and Buf- falo, N. Y. here for their mid:cruise liberty_period, left the Washington Navy Yard, where’ they were berthed, last Monday morning to complete the final week of the cruise. The ships were attached to the Atlantic Scouting Fleet, and in order to cruise the Re- serves a gart of the regular complement was_ given leave until after the com- pletion of the training_ duty. Lieut. Samuel W.
