Robert C. Breeze, who according to

claimed, not only overlooked the mat

his visit to the tri-cities OF being
somewhat of a heart-breaker. He was
arrested late yesterday afternoon in

Charges of violation OF the Mann

Washington, Feb. 29.-That Colonel

temptibly inefficient" is the charge
made by Senator Robinson of Arkan-
sas
The inefficiency and unsatisfactory
results of the present management
Of the aviation section" said he, ARE
disclosed by the fact that during eight
years in which the signal corps has
had control of aviation only about
twenty-four qualified fliers with the
military rating have been produced.
Very few of the so-called qualified
f11ers have ever done military work.
or even seen from an aeroplane a field
gun fired. Only one or two have man
euvered an aeroplane with bombs at
tached to it for use. The service has
no bombs, no bomb sighting device, no
method of mounting a gun on an aero
plane, nor has a gun ever been fired
from an aeroplane. We have no ar
mored aeroplanes, and the machines
on hand are not efficient enough for
military flying.
During the eight years which have
netted only about twenty-four quail
fed f1iers, there have occurred II
deaths, in connection with military
aviation, Is officers having been killed.

Thus, approximately Go per cent as
many officers have been killed as there
are now officer pilots ON aviation duty.
six of these aviators were killed
within 10 months, and it believed that
an investigation will disclose that
their deaths were due to the fact that
they were required to attempt flights
in Anticipated biplanes known to be
detected and dangerous. Following
the death of Lieutenant Post four Of
these machines were burned.
1T is believed that an investiga-
ton will disclose that other injuries
were due to the use of unsafe ma
chimes and that in some cases, where
warning had been given that the ma
chimes were unsafe, officers who were
required to fly in them. were in some
instances injured and in others killed"
