SECRET AIRCRAFT
REPORT TOBAKER
Disclosures Designed to
Build New Program on
Ruins of Old
PLAINLY FIXES BLAME

Washington. Aug. 23.--(By I. n. s..
A secret report on the aircraft stua-
ton containing many disclosures not
touched upon in the published report
OF the Senate aircraft investigating COM
mittee, was laid before Secretary of War
chairman of the Senate Military AZ
fairs Committee.
The report is designed to aid Secre-
tary Baker in building a success upon
the ruins of the old aircraft program. II
will not be made public during the con-
tinuance of the war. 1t contains much
information that would be of very prac-
tical value to the German general staff.
Many of its statements would give de-
cided comfort to the German people. ac-
cording to Senator's who aided in it's
preparation.
The report is understood to contain
no evidence of graft or profiteering al
though the committee came upon many
trails that might have produced such evi-
dence. The responsibility Of certain
officers for various mistakes and blum
ders" is pointed out however, SO that
the Secretary may have the data upon
which to base any reorganization he
may deem necessary
Bills to carry out such recommcnda-
tions of the aircraft investigating COM
mittee as can be enforced by congress
sional action were in preparation in
both houses today. The Military Affairs
Committee of the House and Senate
have before them several bills looking
to the establishment Of a Department of
Aeronautics, with Cabinet member
Ia,
ported out next week as means of
saving time.
The Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee looks to the War Department itself
to remedy many of the defects pointed
out in the report Of its subcommittee
without formal action by Congress. This
Is particularly true Of the revelations
| regarding the high margins of profit
that have been allowed on many of the
! Governments aircraIt contracts. The
committee believed this was due largely
to the primary unfamiiarity of officials
in charge Of the program with the cost
Of rapid manufacture.
1.-The high cost to the Government
having now been demonstrated, we feel
sure that future contracts will result
I in great savings to the Government, !"
the investigating committee stated in
| its report.
The committee expects that contracts
for aircraft will now be given to the
Wittemann-Lewis Company, of New
Jersey and other such corporations or
ganized long before the war, but as yet
/ without Government work. 1t pointed
out in it's report that contracts in many
cases had been given to companies with
nothing more than paper organizations
at the outbreak of the war, while going
| concerns were overlooked.
The sub committees work is not com.
plete with the submission of it's report.
and it has not been dismissed by the
/ Military Affairs Committee. It will con.
tinue to look into conditions surrounding
aircraft production and will submit new
reports wherever it deems the situation
, calls for them.

Democracy Worlds Hope
By the Associated Press


Sir Robert L. Borden premier of Can
ada, arrived here today after ten
weeks, stay in England and France, firm
in the conviction" as he expressed 1t,
that never was the spirit of the allied
nations more steadfast or more resolute
than at present"
Americas mighty effort in sending
more than a million men to France was
the deciding factor, not only in strength
ening the morale of the Allies. but in
bringing victory out of defeat on the
western front, Sir Robert said.
1T Is beyond question that the vic
tories of the last four weeks would not
have been possible except for the Amer
lean divisions which have taken their
place in the battle line" he continued.
II have seen many thousands of
American troops on board ship and in
camps | visited. 1t is impossible to over
estimate the increased confidence with
which the arrival of those mighty armies
has insptred the allied nations.

expertly can now make approximate
figures of the army strength twelve

Grated in Paris discussion one cannot
help being somewhat startled at the

lead.

MRS. D. T. SAWYER DIES AT
HOME OF SON IN FORSYTH
Remains Brought to Dawson This
Morning for Interment.

News was received in Dawson yes
terday announcing the death of Mrs.
d. I. Sawyer, which occurred at the
nome OF her son, Mr.. Richard Fetch
er, IN Forsyth, where she had lived
for several years.
Mrs. Sawyer will be remembered
by many of the older residents of
Dawson as Miss Rec Williams, daugh-
ter Of Hon. Samuel L. Williams, a
prominent planter of Terrell county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams reared a large
family of sons and daughters, Mrs.
Sawyer being one of the older chill
dren, all of whom drifted
sections after the death of their pa
rents some wears ago.
The body arrived this morning and
a funeral service was conducted at
the grave in Cedar Hill cemetery at
10 o'clock by Rev. T. H. Thompson.
Mrs. Sawyer is survived by three
daughters and two sons.

COMMISSIONS COME
FOR COMMISSIONERS
ORDINARY HOYL RECEIVES GRE.
DENTIALS FOR MEN VOTED
FOR IN NOVEMBER.

Monday Ordinary L. C. Hoyl re-
ceived from the executive department
commissions for DR.. H. A. Cook, W.
l.. Pace and j. L. Mcleod, who were
voted for at the election in Novem-
Der for county commissioners. The
commissions are for a term of two
years from January LIST.
An interesting situation exists as
to the office of county commissioner
The three incumbents, Messrs. Hol-
llngsworth, Laing and Hitler, claimed
that under the law making the
terms of county officers four years
they would hold two years longer.
They had legal advice to that effect,
and did not offer for reelection.
Others contended that the new law
does not include county commission
ers and they also had legal advice as
to the correctness of their contention.
Attorney General Walker had also
given an opinion that the law did not
apply to county commissioners, and
that the statute under which they
were elected was unchanged. The re-
suit was that DR.. Cook and Messrs.
Mcleod and Pace were voted for at
some of the precincts at the state
election in. November for county COM
missioners, receiving about so votes
each
These gentlemen are expected to
take the oath of office between now
and January LIST, and whether or not
there will be any new developments
will probably soon be known.

TO HURRY DAWSONpS
POSTOFFICE BUILDING
SSMAN CRISP TAKES UP
MATTER AGAIN WITH TREAS
URY DEPARTMENT.

In response from a request from
the Dawson Chamber of Commerce,
asking that he use his best efforts to
have the proposed postoffice building
in Dawson erected without further
delay, Congressman Crisp has had
another conference with the treasury
department officials and urged them
to start this work at once. He writes
that the supervising architect has
promised to expedite the erection of
the building in every way he can. 1t
was first stated that bids could hardly
be called for until next May, but
Judge Crisp called the attention of
the department to how long this build
ing had been delayed and how badly
it was needed, and he hopes that
quicker action than anticipated can
be secured.
Soon after the United States en-
tered the war the secretary of the
treasury passed an order suspending
work on all public buildings in the
country. He modified this order a
few days ago, authorizing the COM
mencement of a limited number of
public buildings. Immediately upon
the announcement of this modifca-
ton the local trade body got into
touch with Congressman Crisp and
made an earnest appeal that the Daw-
son work be included. 1t was point
ed out that the need for this build
urgent and as the appropria-
ton for it was long since made and
the site purchased many months ago
it seemed right and proper that the
work should now go forward
Congressman Crisp expects to con-
tinue his efforts in Dawson's behalf,
and believes he will be in position to
make a definite announcement about
the matter in very short time.
