MEN OF -- BECOMES USEFUL PEACE IN How Poison Gas Is Being Employed Now Speakers Admit the Necessity of Its Development for in .War. G. HARDING ' the man in the United States of 'America these days. He is the head of the biggest business concern on earth. And probably his secretary, George B. Christian, Jr., is the next busiest. Moreover, Mr. Christian is as important as he is busy. Really, you know, there are few more important jobs in Washington than that of the secretary to the President. Some 'people go so far as to say that the Presidents secretary Is In reality a more Important official than any member of the cabinet. They argue that if the executive departments were left without heads they would run along just about the same, whereas without a secretary a President could not get along at all. This is the kind of picturesque exaggeration that we Americans like because it is mighty near the truth. Anyway, the discriminating reader will have noted that the press of the country gave Mr. Christians appointment quite as much space as it did some of the cabinet appointments. Mr. Christian has been with Mr Harding quite a long time long enougli to have gotten well acquainted with his chief and to have proved his own abilities. As secretary to Senator Harding, he had a chance to learn And he won his Washington. spurs during the trying days of the campaign. The Presidents secretary is the mouthpiece of the President. When he speaks it is ex cathedra. If a communication is to be made to the pub- He on any subject not so important as to require a formal proclamation, it is the secretary who utters it, usually through the medium of the newspapers. Every letter that reaches the White House, is read and a rule requires that to everyone a courteous reply shall be made. A dozen clerks attend to this business. They even read and answer the letters addressed to the Presidents wife; for multitudes of strangers write to her also. Private letters, recognized as such by a sort of instinct, alone pass unopened. His future? That remains to be told. Many' of the presidential secretaries graduated from the White House office to fame and riches. White House. Simply The official residence of the nation's chief is called in the laws the Presidents house, and with this name much of the old silver and china belonging to the establishment is marked. When Mr. Roosevelt arrived on the scene he found large stacks of note-papand letter-papstamped with the words Executive Mansion a title adopted by Mr. Cleveland, who delighted in big words. Throw out that junk! said he to his secretary ; and, by his direction, all of. the stationery was thereafter headed simply White House. Up to Mr. Roosevelts time the business offices of the White House were in the mansion proper, directly over the East room, so that visitors came in at the front door and climbed a flight of .stairs to reach them.-- , . Across the main corridor on the second floor was placed a screen to shut off the offices from the private quarters of, the Presidents family. The arrangement was certainly deplorable. Sofas along the walls of the corridor, Into which the Presidents own office opened directly, provided seats for persons anxious to see him or his secretary. The secre-- , t, tarys room adjoined that of the and on the opposite side of the corridor were rooms for clerks and the telegraph room. Mr. Roosevelt tore the mansion literally to pieces, spending for the pur-- ; pose $555,000, or nearly twice as much money as it originally cost As one' result, the former office quarters in the White House are now five bed-- ; rooms, and ail executive business is y annex f transacted in a small to the west fa couple of hundred feet ' WARREN er Pres-jiden- i I i one-stor- ' was necessary to secure a large hall to accommodate the officers and their many guests. There is congressional interest, of course, in all branches of the armed services of the country, but the interest that has been shown in the chemical warfare service, the newest of the offensive and defensive branches of the army, seemingly surpasses everything in the interest line that has before. The dinner just held was attended by many senators and representatives in congress, by high officers of the army and navy, and by a score or so of the most famous chemists In the United States. Brig. Gen. Amos. A. Fries, who was the chief of the gas service In the American expeditionary forces, is today the chief of the chemical warfare service as It exists in time of peace.

Mr. Wilson, soon after he came to the White House, doubled the size 'of the business annex, extending It over 'part of the ground which Mr. Roosevelt laid out as a tennis court.

Made a $5,000 Job. The secretary to the President was" no more than a head clerk in the executive office up to Clevelands first administration. But Cleveland brought with him as secretary a remarkable young man named Daniel S. Lamont, who had served him in a like capacity Lamont was a man of in Albany. great natural ability and gifted with extraordinary tact. The man who happened to hold the post of private secretary to a President-elect is altogether likely to be appointed secretary after his chief has reached the White House. He presumably enjoys the confidence of the new President, understands his ways and policies, is accustomed to the handling of his work, and is personally acquainted with his friends. A helper with this equipment, whose efficiency is proved, cannot easily be re. . placed. Mr. Cleveland was a man who was likely to ruffle people's feelings. Lamont was suave and pleasant-mannerehe made things smooth. So popular did he become with the folk on Capitol Hill that they decided to give him a lift. He had been mere- ly "private secretary, with a modest salary of two thousand a year. They created by legislation the office of secretary to the President, with pay at the rate of five thousand dollars. The job for the first time was made 'one of dignity and decent emolument. Cleveland went ' congress one better and made Lamont secretary of war. Incidentally, when Lamont relinquished his place at the end of the first Cleveland administration, it was with such a reputation that big busihim welcomed with ness open arms, and within a few years he was rated,, a multimillionaire.
