It is a well-known fact that President Wilson sent no general Lieut. Col. Samuel McPherson Rutherford, Cavalry. to France that Pershing did not want, and it is equally well Lieut. CoL John Henry Parker, Infantry. known that Presid.ent Wilson and the War Department kept Lieut. Col John Ed\\in Woodward, Infantry. no officer at home that Pershing wanted. The reason for Lieut. Col. George l\lcDougaU Weeks, Infantry. pur uing that course was not based on political considerations; Lieut. Col. I saac Erwin, Infantry. it was based upon the fact that upon Gen. Pershing rested Lieut. Col. Samuel Vinton Ham, Infantry. the gra\est, perhaps the sublimest, responsibility that has ever Lieut. Col. Robert Walter l\Iearns, Infantry. fallen upon a sol{'lier in the United States .Army; and let me Lieut. Col.

Rule I provides that the Speaker shall take A istant Veterinarian Forest Lee Holycross, Veterinary the chair and call the Members to order, and on the appearance Corps, from July 16, 1920. of a quorum cause the Journal to be read. There it specifically AsBistant Veterinarian George Leander Richards, Veterinary says that for tile reading of the .Tournai, which is the first busi Corps, from July 16, 1920. ness after prayer by the Chaplain, a quorum shall appear.

Corps, from September 4, 1920. The Chair therefore is disposed to think that the offering of Assistant Veterinarian George Francis Feazell, Veterinary prayer by the Chaplain is not business of the House that re Corps, from September 4, 1920. quires a quorum, and that regardless of any gentleman's sense A sistant Yeterinarian Jacob Landes Hartman, Veterinary of reverence or propriety it is not in order to make the point Corp , from September 4, 1920. of order that there is no quorum present.

Assistant Veterinarian Walter Karl Herbott, Veterinary The SPEAKER. The Chair does not think he is obliged to Corps, from September 4, 1920. entertain the appeal, because an appeal from the decision of Assistant Veterinarian Arthur Dunlap Martin, "Veterinary the Chair is business and the point of no quorum could be made, Corps, from September 4, 1920.

But inasmuch CHAPLAINS. as this is a new matter, the Chair thinks it will be better for once to entertain the appeal and let the House decide the To be chaplains with the rank of lieutenant coloncZ. matter.

If the House sustains the decision of the Chair, he will not Cllaplain 'Va1ter Marvine, from June 4, 1920. entertain such an appeal afterwards on the same question.

A few days ago when the gentleman from Dale Johnson, S.Dak. Parlt Voigt Dallinger Johnson, Wash. Parker Volstead Oklahoma [Mr. McCLINTIC], before the Chaplain's prayer, raised Darrow Jones, Pa.

Ward Denison Keller Purnell Wason right to make it at that stage of the proceedings. The Chair Dickinson, Iowa Kelly, Pa. Radcliffe Weaver at the tL'lle sustained the right of the gentleman from Okla Dominick Kendall Rainey, Ala. Webster homa. Since then the Chair has been considering the matter, Donovan Kennedy, R.I. Ramsey Whaley Doremus Kiess Ramseyer Wheeler and has concluded he was mistaken in his decision, and that the Dough ton King Randall, Calif. White, Kans. Member from Oklahoma has no right to make the point of no Dowell Kinkaid Randall, Wis. Williams quorum before the Chaplain offers prayer.

The Chair thinks that Evans, Nebr. ~hlbach Rodenberg Zihlman Fairfield Little Rogers is not a matter of business, but that it is a matter of ceremony, Fess Longworth Schall of devotion, and that its appeal is not to the duty of Members Fields Luhring Scott
