GENERAL BULLARD " RETIRING TODAY Leaves Army Alter Forty Years' Servioe; Indian Fighter Washington, Jan, 16.~By the co- inoldence of their birth on the same day 64 years ago, two major generals both with long military careers crowned by consplcuous service with the American army in the World War passed from actlve service to- day under the age retirement law. Gen, Morton Too, o War department records show that Major General Robert ‘L. Bullard, commanding the Second Corps Area at Governor's Tsland, and Major Gen- eral Charles G. Morton, commanding the Ninth Corps Area at Ban Iran. clsco were born January 165, 1861, Passage of 46 years since General Morton entered the milltary acade my from Massachusetts in July 1879, glves him a service record just three years longer than that of his com- rade from Alabama, who put on the cadet uniform in July 1881. Letters appraising the long years of ‘conspicuous services by both offi- cers were handed them by Secretary Weeks on turning over their com- mands to appointed successors. In his letter to. General Bullard, the war secretary recalled that it was who led the first American division to enter the front line of battle in I'rance, the first to fire on German forces, the first to take a German prisoner, and the first to pierce the hostile position in the battle of Can- tigny—the first American offensive of the war. “The first division under your di- rection and leadershlp,” the letter sald, “established a high standard and its spirit and its achievements wihil go down in Americans history as among the finest of our patriotic tra- ditions.” , Morton's Work. The achivements of General Mor- ton as commander of the 20th divi- sion and during his detail as military observer for the American Forces in France were recounted in praisewor- thy fashion by Secretary Weeks in his letter to the Ninth Corps com- mander. The records of both officers, Secre~ tary Weeks said, had served to fix the high standards of their profes- sion before the eyes of both the na- tion and the army. Tt is understood that/General Bul- lard will enter business in New York city altheugh his plans have not yet been announced. The day of his retirement came after a rousing dinner of farewell given last night to him by his asso- ciates in service. Tt followed on evening devoted to reminiscences of his companions in arms, who revived memories of the days when the guest of honor fought against the Tndians, took part in the Philippine v siw service on the Mexican r and finally led one of Ameri- L mies against the Gergnans. As his final word of farewell, Gen- cral Jullard uttered a warning ngainst what he termed the inade- quately defended state of the region about New York city. “In this area re insepa hound up the int ts of the nation and yet there arc spots on the New Jevrsey and Long Island co: not prepared to resist hostilé landing,” he said. “An enemy fleet off this coast could s us from the rest of the wo!

Moore and E. H. Brush, publishers of the Marlon Star against Frank A.' Vanderlip of New York has been settled out of court, the Star will say today. The suit was filed by the pub- lishers after an address by Mr. Van- derlip a year ago in which he charg- ed, it is alleged, that Moore and Btush paid President Harding an ex- orbitant price for the paper. The Star, in announcement of the settlement of the case, says that for- mal papers, withdrawing the suit will be filed in the federal court at New York city today or tomorrow. The amount of damages paid the publishers by Mr. Vanderlip was not revealed. Mr. Vanderlip has been {1l with typhold fever and his wife asked the pubiicatfbn of the following state- ment: “On account of the grave iliness of Mr. Vanderlip he cannot he apprised of the settiement out of court of the suit of Brush and Moore, owners and publishers of the Star, against Mr., “The suilt grew out of the speech which Mr, Vanderlip made at Briar Cliff a year ago. “There was no justification for the statement that the price paid Presi- dent Hardlng by the present owners was too high, or that there was any- thing sinister about the financial ar- jrangement, “President Harding was most scrupulous as to the propriety of the negotiations. | “Mr. Vanderli} would concur in this statement if he were able to speak."” The case was settled out of court in a conference held in Marion sev- eral weeks ago by a representative of Mr. Vanderlip, who arrived at the agreement with the publishers.

Alfred E. Smith, died at the Rockefeller Institute today of pneu- monia, His death came as a surprise, for although he had been serlously i1l earlier in the week it was announced yesterday that he was on the road to recovery, The governor, who had a warm regard for the former sher- iff, came here from Albany last week when he Icarned that his old triend was {ll. The governor visited him at the institute and left later to resume his official duties at the cap- itol, announcing that “we will pull Tom through." Foley was born in Brooklyn in 1861 and had long been a power in Tammany hall. He was usually re ferred to as “Al Smith's political godfather,” for it was he that start- ed the unknown East Side boy on the road that eventually led to the ‘governor's chair. Was Saloon Owner, Foley was ‘sbliged to leave school when a boy and learned the black- smith's trade. When he was seven- teen his parents moved to Manhattan and he worked for the Bridgeport steamship line. Later he opened a saloon on the Fast Side, and at one time operated two other saloons. When the tonsolidation of the five boroughs into the greater city took place he was a member of the com- mon couneil. A few years later he wrested the district leadership of the old second assembly distriet from Patrick Divver in what is still re- called by old time politjclans as ene of the greatest contests that ever shook -the East Slde, This was in 1901, He served as sheriff in 1908 and 1909, t Although Governor Smith was the most famous of Mr. Foley's political proteges he was really but one of a whole line of young men with a bent for politics that the downtown chief- tain put forward. | The Foley ‘*outings” to College | Point in by-gone years and the pa- rades that followed them are still re- called by politicians. ‘Was Basehall Magnate, In the early days of the Americant| Baseball Jeague, Mr. Foley was a large stockholder in the New York Yankees. He later disposed of his| interest, He was one of the oldest members | ,of the board of Sachems of the Tam- | many society and took keen delight in participating in the initaton of (new members. One of hs proudest moments was when he aided in the ceremony of inaugurating Governor Smith as a fellow Sachem. “My boy” was the way in which | he always referred to Governor Smith among his intimates. It is irelated of Foley that he never went out for a walk in the old days with- out carrying with him pocketsfull of dimes and quarters which he gave to those in need.
