General Smith paid a high tribute to Colonel Naftzger as a student of military problems, but said his capabilities as a commanding officer of other men were not such as to make for the best efficiency in his regiment. He added that the “hardest job I ever had to do was to ask for Colonel KuhlniarTs resignation." The colonel and General Smith had served together In the field for

years.

Colonel A. B. Kuhlman already has sent in his. resignation. Cblonel Naftzger addressed the following letter and Inclosure, written by Lieutenant-Colonel E. M. Lewis, senior mustering officer at Ft. Benjamin Harrison atiA formerly brigade commander of the Indiana guard during the recent service of the

guard on the border:

“IndianapoUs. Ind., March 31. 1917. "From Colonel Leslie R. Naftzger, First Indiana Infantrj', to the Adjutant-

General :

"Subject, Resignation on account of

"1. I have your copimunlcafipn of the 27th instant, requesting my resignation ‘on account of Inefficiency’ and stating that ‘should-1 prefer I will have an opportunity to go before *an efficiency

board.

“2. I decline to resign on the ground of 'Inefflclenoyf and request that I be ordered befqjre an efficiency board. ^ Reasons for Decision. “3. In making this decision I believe I am well advised for the following rea-

sons:

“If reports of my superiors or of inspectors had been unfavorable I believe I would have been called upon for explanations. This has never been done and therefore It is to be assumed no explan^ions were due. “I know that I was commissioned as colonel, not upon my own solicitation but because the then Governor believed that my efficiency record and the advice of the army inspectors warranted him In selecting me as most Capable of exercising that command in the new regiment formed June 26, 1916. “Because the written statement of the former commanding general of the brigade does not wsLirant me In believing that he considered me inefficient. ‘4. 1 enclose herewith copy of a letter frorOj Colonel E. M. Lewis. United States infantry, former brigadier-com-mander, which was written at my request, after I had told him that I believed -the chafge against me was tor failure In administmtive ability. There was administrative difficulty to be overcome. Nearly every question of consequence was discussed with the brigade commander or with my lieutenant-coio-nel. -In my opinion the brigade epmnlander does not hold me responsible if every dlfflulty was not fully solved. I believe that my lieutenant-colonel. Captain Tofley of the regular army, does net consider me Inefficient. , * . ‘-*6. Sir, I am awafe of the fact that my promotion came out of line of seniority when fthe new regiment was formed. Undoubtedly this caused some chagrin, of which I am sorry. I do not blame these officers, however, for desiring my removal and acknowledge that It is within your province to test my right to retain my commission by a proper board. Wishes Reports Obtainsd. t “6. 1 am satisfied that you, sir, desire that all efficiency Information possible be placed before the board to be convened. I request, therefore, that ail efflol4ncy reports on file concerning tpe with the war department be obtain^ for the consideration of the board. I further request that I be furnished with Information as to specific jparticulars In which I am deemed 4neffl<^ent in order that I may be given opportunity to obtain the necemary data to explain them, if they are capable of proper explanation. I further request that the efficiency reports of any officers who may be my accusers be obtained for the use of the board jas it should be advised regarding the capacity of such offleera to make proper Judgments. *7. No efficiency reports were'made by mo on December SI, 1916, upon the omoers of the reglmeiit. as 1 was at home on leave, but such reports were made by Lieutenaint-Colonel TolTey. The records which the board would have, therefore, would not be prejudiced by taking my Judgment of such officera "8, It Is nitrher requested that when the board meets a full reconi of the proceedings be had. in order that the Governor may be folly advised of all facts ■ In approving or disapproving the findings -of the board. Efficiency has been my own motUx and If, as a fact, 1 am laefflcieat and incapable of exercising command in theigrade of colonel, or any other grade, I do not so desire. For the reasons stated, however, I do not feel thkt I should resign, and request the appolntmeM of * boi^. “LESLIE R NAFTZGER”. Letter From E. M, Lewis. The letter from Lteutenant-Celonel E.

A CANNYDATE FER PUSTMASTER, CIRCULATIN’ HIS PETITION. up like a bolt frorft a clear sky. We re never ready fer him. A pustoffice caiyiydate never gives you any warnin’ till he pokes his petition under your nose. He may be a school teacher, a shoemaker or a quiet, unassumin’ business man, but his style o’ pitchin’ is widely different from that o’ th’ sterotyped snap hunter. He seems t’ think that th’ very nature o’ th’ pustoflfice business requires jest such a feller as he is. Then on top o’ his splendid qualifications fer th’ job he’ll tell you that he’s never skipped votin’ th’ party ticket. Maybe at some time or other he has held a poll book or carried a tdrch or played a fife. But, however that may he, his splendid qualifications are what he bases his claims on. An’, as an’ extra added feature, he promises t’ give all o’ his time t’ th’ job. But no matter who gets a pustoffice, we’re alius surprise^, an’ we’ve never yit heard of an appointment that pleased) over one-third of a community. Months, an’ sometimes years, pass before a town recovers from a change o’ pustmasters, but th’ scare remain ferever. It is out o’ th’ question t’ attempt t’ estimate th’ enormous load that’ll be lifted from th' shoulders o' our congressmen when our pustmasters are put in th’ civil service class, fer no congressman is ever th’ same agin after he dishes out a $1,200 pustoffice. An’ our Presidents ’ll breathe easier too, fer they have t* give ther personal attention t’ nine-tenths o’ th’ pustoffice fights, golf or no golf. Right in th’ midst of our grave international complications, th’ country on th’ brink o’ war an’ a thousan’ an’ one important national problems up fer solution, I read where th’ senate had finally confirmed th’ appointment o’ Joe Waller fer th’ pustoffice at Xumbo, Ohio, after a bitter fight. I suppose President Wilson had t’ call, a cabinet meetin’ off an’ fergit all about ruthlessness fer th’ time, while he waded thro’ th’ merits o’ th’ appointment an’ attached his John Hancock t’ th' commission. ^ “Personally I’m glad we're t’ hear th’ jast o’ pustoffice squabbles.

case in other regiments—with whlcH I had occasion to find- fault, immediate and proper steps were taken by him to correct them. He has a mentality above tha average and is possessed of high military ideals. “The First Indiana infantry, I believe, suffered from the fact that it was a new regiment, formed just prior to muster in from elements that were not entirely harmonious,' which fact rendered Its command and administration difficult, with many subordinates new and inexperienced. E. M..'LEWI8, “Lieutenant-Golonel. Infantry, Senior Mustering Officer.” Headquarters of Coulter. • Colonel Thomas B.. Coulter, of Vincennes, commanding the Second Indiana Infantry, which has been ordered Into federal service for police duty at various points in Indiana, has established regimental headquarters in Room 83, on the second floor of the Indiana statehouse. He said the headquarters probably would remain there until the troops were ordered mobilized at some oiber Central point and that Captain D. M. Green, of Muncie, commanding the headquarters company, and Captain AValter H. Kelly, of Warsaw, oommand•ing the supply’ company of the regiment. as well as noncommissioned offlcers. would be stationed with the commanding officer at thS regimental headquaneis. . . , General Smith, In working out a plan for a reorganization of the peraoimel of the highest officers of the guard has asked for, and received .in some Instances, the resignations from the guard of the following officers: Coloael Aubrey L. Kuhlrann. of Auburn, 4*omnianding the Third Infantry, Indlaoa national gnard.. Colonel Leslie R. Naltsger, Indianapolis, commanding the First Infantry, Indiana national gnard. Major GTistave C. GrolL Elkhart, senior major of the Third Infantry. Captain Marlon O. Belff. Indianapolis, cornmandlng Company D, of the First Infantry. Captain Charles G. Davis. Winchester, commanding Company F, of the Second infantry. Second Lieutenant Phlncss Young, Montlcello, Company C, of the Third Infantryo * It is probable that the resignations of five or six other officers of the . and possibly more, will bh asked within the next few days, as General Smith proceeds with his investigation of the report of a special Inspection board he recently appointed, composed of such men as Charles A. Garrard, formerly quartermaster-general of the Indiana national guard, a Democrat; Robert Youngffian, of Crawfbrdsyille, a former well-known officer of the guard, and

Seniority In Ranic.

General Smith said that seniority of rank in the guard will guide him entirely in filling the vacancies created by the resignationa Officers of the guard, transferred to a higher rank, first must pass examinations and these win receive the offices vacated. General' Smith said. Under this situation, for instance. Lieutenant-Colonel George W. Freyermuth, of South Bend, will succeed Colonel Kuhlman In command of the Third regiment at once. It is understood. The name of Lleutenant-Coionel Emmett F. Branch, of MartlnsvIUe. Second Infantry, is mentioned In conectlon with' the colonelcy that would be vacated by the removal of Colonel Natftzger. In case the resignations of those officers who were asked to quit, ere not forthcoming, General Smith said each would be placed on the retired list qpmediately- Colonel Kuhlman and General*^ Smith have been fast friends Ja the work of the national guard for many years and have seen service in the field together and General Smith expressed his genuiiM regret at the fact that he was forced to ask for the reslg

discussed the situation with regular army officers now stationed with the guard headquarters. “There will be no jumping of officers in the guard In the reorganization of the offices,” General Smith said. “Seniority will prevail In all cases, where efficiency exists. The men that are entitled' to these places by right of their records and service In the guard will get them.” The relieving of Captain Charles G, Davis from command of the Winchester company takes the commanding officer from the company of the guard that Is stationed In the home city of Governor James P. Goodrich, command-er-ln-chlef of the guard. General Smith said h.e had not discussed the details of the reorganization of the officers' list with Governor Goodrich, except as to the point that he understood the Governor to insist on complete efficiency In the roster of the guard, m so far as that Is possible. General Smith was understood to mean that he had iu>t submitted the list of officers to be removed to Governor Goodrich for his approval. Question of "Temperament.” The question of '''temperament” is Involved In the situations surrounding both colonels, whose resignations are asked, guard officers declare. Both are referred to by guard officials as being splendid" officers in many ways, but as falling in the ability to discipline men under them properly. The rise qf Colonel Naftzger to a colonelcy was extremely rapid under the former guard regime, in which Frank L. Bridges, of Indianapolis, was the head as adjutant-general. Naftzger, who was a deputy attorneygeneral under Richard M. Mllburn and Evan B. ^totsenburg, became counselor on military law to General Bridges. Then he was elevated to a majorship In command of the First separate battalion, since merged into the First infantry. When the Mexican border trouble came and the troops were ordered out Major Naftzger was made colonel

There was constant opposition to Bridges’s regime by older officers of the guard and his “temperament” In dealing with the men under him caused criticism. Colopel Naftzger Is one of the youngest colonels who ever served In Indiana. Naftzger and Bridges. It la known that Colonel Naftzger— “jumped" over the heads of marty men older In the service by Bridges—finally approached almost an open "break”

with Bridges at the time of the reorganization of the guard, prior to its being sent to the Mexican border. At that time it was frequently said among guard officers that a feud existed between Bridges and Naftzger, because the adjutant-general desired an appointment from Governor Ralston as colonel of a regiment, but that Naftzger stood In the way. Governor Ralston finally named Naftzger and gave Bridges no commission In the active guard, following orders from the war department that certain adjutant-gen-erals should not proceed to the border with state troops. Colonel Naftzger is

recomized as an ‘officer who has devoted much time, to military study. The resignation ot C^tgin Harvey E. paines, of Vincennes, Company A, Second infantry, as a cS4»taln in the national guard, was requested by General Smith two weeks ago.
