of General Scriven and Colonel Reber were recommended by the board of of- ficers appointed to inquire into the facts disclosed at the Goodier trial. Senator Robinson of Arkansas introduced recently and the Senate passed resolution call ing for a congressional investigation of this subject He presented letters to the military committee reflecting upon Colonel Reber's management of his office as chief of aviation. The resolution has not passed the House.
 MITCHELL TEMPORARY CHIEF
 Capt. William Mitchell, signal corps, now assigned to the general staff, has been designated as temporary chief of the aviation section. Lieut.. Col. George o. Squier, signal corps, attached to the embassy in London, has been ordered home for duty. It is assumed he will go either to the aviation school at San Diego or succeed Colonel Reber.
 Shortly after Congress took up the sub ject of army aviation, Colonel Reber was badly hurt by a fall at his home here. He is still in the military hospital.
 Secretary Baker said the time had come when it was wise to consider changing the relations of the aviation section to the army as the war abroad had shown aircraft to be offensive weapons as well as of value in obtaining and transmit ting information. The time might not be far distant, he said when the United States would add armored and armed aeroplanes and other fighting craft to it's air fleet. If that were done, he pointed out, new organization must be created to handle this fighting arm.

LEWIS E. GOODIER
 IS CENSURED BY
 PRESIDENT WILSON
Failed to Observe Proper Attitude Towards Junior Officers, Which Seniority of Rank Required

Washington, April 17.-Creation of n separate army corps for aviation dis finct from the signal corps was fore- cast by Secretary Baker today in an- nouncing a general shake-up of the flying branch of the army as a result of the recent investigation of the avia- tion service. If this plan Is followed it will pave the way to the addition of sage bearing aeropIanes now used.
 Recommendations of the courtmartial judge advocate of the western depart ment, were approved, as were those of Q special board of officers appointed to inquire into discipline and conduct of the aviation section of the signal corps These steps were taken:
 PRESIDENT CENSURES GOODIER
 Colonel Goodier was censured by Presi- dent Wilson for having failed to 'ob- serve the attitude which his office and seniority of rank required him to ob- serve toward junior officers
 Secretary Baker eensured Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, chief signal officer of the army, flor his failure personally to supervise the disciplinary features of aviation corps administration"
 Lieut.. Col. Samuel Reber, chief of the aviation section, signal corps, was re- heved from that duty and censured by Secretary Baker flor disrespect to CO., ordinate branch of the government, fail ure to observe the restraints imposed by law with regard to the personnel and pay of members of the aviation section,'' and for other reasons, and the appoint ment of committee of the general staff to study the reorganization of the avia- tion service was directed by Secretary Baker.
 GENERAL SHAKE-UP
 Colonel Goodiers lease was only ae- cidental to the general shake-up to the aviation section, although hearings in that trial, held at San Francisco several months ago, served to call attention to the conditions that resulted in today's orders. After his son, Lieut.. Lewis E. Goodier, Jr., of the Coast artillery, had been injured while studying aviation at San Diego, Cal. Goodier, according to the testimony, made every effort to oust Capt. Arthur S. Cowan from his post as commandant of the school, and also at tackled the aviation section in letters to brother officers, many of which found their way into print
