Baker and Daniels
Favor Air Board
Senate Gets Bill Giving Pro-
duction Board Power to
Spend S64O, 100000

Washington. July 27.-The Sheppard
Hubert bill, providing for a separate
department of aeronauticS, was pre-
sented again to-day 10 the Senate MILL
tary Affairs Committee IN revised
form. The bill now provides for the
delegation of full authority 20 the air
craft production board Of the Council
of National Defence TO direct the ex-
penditure Of the S640 100000 recently
appropriated by Congress for Americas 5
air feet. The proposal has the ap-
rroval of Secretary Of War Baker sec
retary of the Navy Daniels and Howard
Z. Coffin, chairman Of the aircraft pro-
Guction board.
Senator Sheppard, according 70 an
announcement Of Representative HUI
bert to-day, will urge immediate con-
sideration OF the measure by the SEN
ate Military Affairs Committee.
The proposal % vest direction OF the
aircraft production programme IN the
aircraft board Of the Council OF De
fence was offered in both the House and
Senate as an amendment 20 the aero
bill However, there was no vigorous
championship Of the amendment on
either side, and II was pertunctoriiy
defeated. This was explained by the
inaction of members OF the aircraft
production board and their unwilling
ness 20 urge legislation giving them
selves enlarged governmental powers.
Despite Secretary Bakers advocacy
Of the proposal. 1t IS understood that
brigadier General Squier. head Of the
Signal Corps, would prefer 20 have the
exclusive direction OF the aircraft pro-
gramme retained b. army officials.

No Change in Size
Of Army Divisions
Tactical Reorganization May
Take Place When Troops
Get to France

Washington, July 27.-Plans for
tactical reorganization Of the army are
not advanced to the point where any
immediate change in the size or forma-
tion of divisions now in this country
is contemplated. II was stated Of
fcially to-day that the divisions OF the
regulars, National Guard and National
Army would move to their camps in
the formation Of the present typical"
infantry division prescribed By law,
which the President is authorized 20
vary as he sees fit.
Presumably a reorganization Of Cen
eral Pershing's forces in harmony
with the smaller division plan now IN
vogue in European armies already has
been effected. The exact nature OF the
change has not been disclosed.
A typical infantry division OF the
American army makes a total force OF
about $4,000 men. The French use
about Is, 900 men 20 a division, and the
Germans about the same, and in trench
lighting the unit OF organization ap-
pears 10 be the corps, rather than the
division. The typical division as 1t
exists can be shaped easily TO meet
any emergency, however, and that u:
what will be done on the basis OF
actual experience in France.

DR.. Raynor Joins

Cowardice in War
City Psychiatrist Will Seek
to Effect Cure for
Fright at Front

DR.. Mortimer ". Raynor, psychia-
trist Of the Department Of Correction
since February last, has been commits

army, and will be placed at the head
Of staff of scientific men who will
soon leave for active service. The unit
will study cases Of she'll shock. and will
endeavor 20 cure cowsrdice in men by
eliminating fears which il is said are
often imaginary.
In announcing Dr. Raynor's appoint
ment yesterday Burdette g. Lewis,
Commissioner of the Department OF
Correction, described a psychiatrist as
"a cross between an alienist and psy-
chologist." An expert IN this line, he
said, can often tell why man is a
moral or physical coward, since the
condition often results from a nervous
disorder which causes the victim to be
unable to control his fears.
Since Dr. Raynor has been in charge
of prisoners at the various city penal
institutions he has made many tests
ard studies, the result of which Will be
used in experimenting on men IN the
army An attempt will De made 20
select, by scientific methods, the men

and hazard on the firing line.
The tests made with prisoners, ac-
cording to Commissioner Lewis, con-

he said. could often be judged by his
ability 20 restore the blocks 70 their
original order. -
Many students of psychology have
been interested in the strange effects OF

have made a deep study Of men who

Baker Urged by Gompers
To Accept Union Foremen
For Next Officers Camps

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, has
written TO Secretary Of War Baker urg-
ing that union members who have had
experience in handling men be regard
ed as fit candidates for officers training
camps
He points out that there are tens Of
thousands of shop foremen and chair
men, as well as union officials, who
have had experience in the handling of
men, in discipline, self-cOntrol and the
planning OF teamwork, and asks II these
are not as good officer material as boys
fresh from college.
"Up 70 the present the applicants for
otficers' training camps" he says, have
been generally college men In the
great majority Of cases" Mr.. Gompers
continues, this signifies 'moneyed
men, As body they have not been

Slackers Detention
In Westchester Jail
Condemned by Knox
No Reason Why Trio Held More
Than a Month Did Not Get
Early Trial, He Says

John c. Knox, Assistant United
States Attorney and chief aid t.
United States Attorney Cafey, said
yesterday that he would investigate
the unlawful detention Of the three
men held in the Westchester County
Jail for failure to register. They are
still in the Tombs.
Mr.. Knox said that had the facts as
exclusively presented in The Tribune
Yesterday concerning the three men
been in his possession when the two
were brought from White Plains Tues
dav. he would have acted at once.
"If the story in The Tribune IS
true" said Mr.. Knox, there is no
question that an injustice has been
done these men. And the fact that
they are poor and comparatively friend
less is ell the more reason why an in
Justice should not be inflicted on them.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who is investigating
the case, will be here in the morning
and I will take up the matter with hir
then"
What reused Mr.. Knox more than
ANYTHING else vas the fact that these
men. arrested for being slackers, had
not been brought TO the United States
Marshal here Immediately after being
turned over TO Sheriff Wiesendanger,
OF White Plains.
There is no excuse why these three
men could not have been arraigned be-
fore some Federal official day or so
after their arrest" said Mr.. Knox.

Sister S Statement
Revives Rumor That

Legend Also Persists That Great
Britisher Started Russian
Revolution

Mrs. Parker, sister Of Lord Kitchener,
that she believes her brother is alive

has persisted in England during the last
year. Asked to-day on what grounds
she based her belief, Mrs. Parker re-
piled:
81 cannot tell you. In fact, Dc lot
want to go into any details whate!, =
The original rumor was that letter
had been received from British pms,
oner in Germany saying tha' Lord
Kitchener was a prisoner ther@ lne
letter was never traced, and the rumor
was considered a canard.
As Great Britain slowly recovered
from the grief and shock caused by the
official news Of the tragic death OF *.
of X" rumors and reports began 70
spring up that he had not lost MS lie
when H. VI. S. Hampshire went down
among the northern Islands. One story
had it that he had made his way 20 land
on a raft. but that his mind had become
affected from the hardships he had sut-
fered. and the govern/ ent consequently
wished TO conceal hi return.
IL was known that Lord Kitchener
was starting on a secret mission Tor
Russia, and, based on this, another ru-
NOR developed that his death had been
announced 20 cover the part he ulti-
mately played in bringing about the
Russian revolution. Eventually these
rumors crystallized into a legend a.

Student Aviators
Are Rescued After
Being Blown to Sea
Patrol Boats Searching Waters
Near Boston Aid Yachts
Disabled in Storm

Boston, July 27.-Aviators from the
government training station at Squan-
tum had exciting experiences in the
air to-day, when an electrical storm
burst over the city and harbor. Two
machines which were at a considerable
distance from the aviation field were
blown seaward in the heavy rain squall,
and their absence caused great anxiety
for a time.
Boats Of the naval patrol feet were
ordered by the navy yard officials 20
search Dorchester and Quincy bays
and the vicinity of Hough's Neck, az 1t
was thought likeiy that the missing
aviators would be forced TO descend in
the water. The search was kept up
for two hours. when orders were re-
ceived by wireless 20 abandon II. Al
the aviation camp il was said that the
missing men had returned, but intor-
nation as 10 their identity or possible
damage TO their airplanes was with
held. One Of the patrol boats was re-
ported 10 have rescued an aviator from
the water Of Quincy Bay, and another
boat was said TO have on board por-
tion of a wrecked machine.
In the search for the aTiators the
patrol fleet assisted a large number of
small yachts which had become dis
ablcd in the squsll. They towed IN
dismasted sloops, yawls with sails torn
and spars gone, and power boats when
had been put out of commission by
their struggles in the heavy sea.
Three lives were lost and widespread
property damage caused north and east
of this city.
James F. Broderick, Of Amesbury' a
private Of the Cd Field Artillery, IN
camp at Boxford, was struck and killed
by lightning. In Danvers, Miss EHza
Currier and Miss Lillian Fletcher, both
