Fort Myer May House
Infantry Battalion
By VIVIAN LEE TILLMAN
There is some talk in local service circles that the battalion
of the Twelfth infantry, now stationed at Fort Washington,
Md.’, will be brought to Fort Myer, Va., if the Maryland .post
is sold, and, that the facilities at the Virginia post will be in
creased to care for the foot troops. There have been infantry
troops stationed at Fort Myer off and on during the past
years. \ ' ’ u ’ ; „.
There is a growing feeling in cer- 4
tafiflr quarters, especially Congres
sional, that the army has not-fehmi
n&ted certain useless military sta
tions and concentrated the troops in
the larger training camps, which
are garrisoned in ths winter mon las
by a handful of solders.
For instance, local corps
the troops at Forts Howard
and Hoyle, Md., would be moved
to Camp Meade and stationed there,
together with the tank corps, dur
ing the entire year. Likewise the
troops of the chemical warfare
service at Edgewood Arsenal, Md.,
would be housed at Camp Meade.
Forts Howard and Hoyle and Euge
wood Arsenal would be sold, and
the money thus realized used tp
develop Camp Meade.
Camp Meade can be made into
an ideal camp for the field artil
lery, cavalry, and infantry. It has
an excellent field artillery range
and plenty of maneuvering ground.
Forts Howard and Washington be
long to the army of pre-Spanish-
American War days, not of 1926.
Student Chaplains Report
Six student chaplains of the army
have reported to the chaplain
school at Fort Leavenworth, tor
their basic course of instruction.
Chaplain Capt. William R. Arnold
is the director of the school, vzhile
the other chaplain member of the
staff is John T. Axton, Jr., son of
the chief of ~my chaplains.
Boards of the navy have been
ttftrd at work for several weeks at
the Navy Department pacing on
the qualifications and ' availability
of junior officers of the navy, who
have requested detail to post
graduate courses of instruction.
Recommendations for the ordnance
and communication engineering
courses have been made and ap
proved, and a number of officers
already have been selected for the
aviation instruction.
Lieuts. Edgar W. Davis, Thomas
J. Burke and Joseph B. Earnest,
of the corps of naval chaplains,
have become due for promotion to
the rank of lieutenant commander

■ID GOOOT
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
Staggering along under sting
ing attacks from the “irrecon
ciliable” camp, the proposal for
American adherence to the World
Court today faced the first of a
long series of delays while-the
Senate considers revenue and ap
propriation bills.
More Delay Certain
Administration leaders planned to
call up the $868,000,000 Postoffice
and Treasury supply bill during
the day, thus forcing the Court
temporarily out Os the Senatorial
spotlight. Further delay will' be
encountered in reaching a decision
on the Court by consideration of
other appropriation bills and espe
cially of the new tax reduction bill
which will reach the Senate for
debate early next week.
If Court adherents attempt to
keep their measure before the
Senate in preference to the tax
bill, they will meet certain defeat.
A majority of Administration
spokesmen, Including some who
have led the fight for the Court,
have announced their determination
to follow Coolidge’s re
quest tot early enactment of the
tax bill even at the price of de
laying final action on the Court.
Democratic finance leaders also
have served notice they favor con
sideration of the tax bill rather
than continued debate on the
Court.
Foes Plan Hard Fight
The little group of “irrecon
ciliables,” while facing a tre
mendous task in overcoming a
five-to-one majority in favor of
the Court, welcome each delay.
They, meanwhile, will launch an
"undermining” attack upon friends
01 the Court in the hope that the
American people will be aroused to
such an extent that enough Sena
tors will desert the Court to in
sure its defeat.

to live at their house, board and
room free, against his wishes. In
galls requested that his wife ask
the sailor to leave the house, which
she positively refused to do. \
_' Ingalls alleges that on various
'occasions she threatened to shoot
him and threw a heavy glass
tumbler at him striking the wall
and breaking the glass; that she
never wanted to see him again;
that she took a large crayon por
trait of . him and mutijated it,
scratching out the eyes and throw
ing it on the floor; that she asked
him to sign over all his property

I Pastores Altamirano to allow his brother, Jose, to act as his bride- -

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
GETS CONFIDENCE VOTE
OTTAWA, Canada, Jan. 15.—The
Mackenzie King government of Can
ada today enjoys a new lease of life
aa a result of having been sustained
In Parliament by a vote .of 123 to
120. The vote was taken on a no
confidence motion offered by former
Premier Arthur Meighen.

the government, only five joining
the opposition. It was said that al
though Kirig remained his policy
hereafter will have a strong west
ern! progressive flavor, the bloc now
being in & position to give orders.
