BAN EXPECTED ON
ARMY RESIGNATIONS
WASUlNGTt >N—Attorney General
Gregory is expected to send a division
forthwith to Secretary of War Gar
rison that army officers have no "In
alienable right" to resign.
The opinion was asked by St certary
Garrison to stop the resignations fit
officers getting out of the army to ac
cept lucrative positions witli private
munitions plnnts.
The effect of such a decision by the
derfcirtmont of Justice would lie to
compel army officers who Insist on re
signing to resort to the courts. In that
event it is probable that objects of res
ignations will be stated and also the
inducements offered by the private war
material concerns to obtain the expert
officers of the army.
Such a ruling of the attorney general
would throw the whole odium of get
ting nut of tile army on the officer*
themselves.
Administration officials arc deeply
incensed over the conditions already
exposed. They point out the state de
partment heretofore has resisted all
efforts of Germany and her allies to
stop the excess of manufacture and ex
port of war munitions as an unneutral
net.
They are, therefore, bitter in denun
ciation of the policy of tile private
concerns in first Betting the govern
ment behind them and then doing its
military service injury by alienating
its expert officers and skilled machin
ists.
