OTHER DECISIONS

It is regarded as probable that fur ther decisions must be made by the supreme war council in Paris, for it is believed that the conclusions reached here touch rather the principles involved and leave to the technical officers of the su- preme war council the working out of de- tails and the issue of necessary orders. It was a necessary preliminary to she adoption of any line of joint action that the war council should first be able to convince the American government that conditions in Russia and Siberia have reached the point where a policy of inac- ton was dangerous, thus supplemcnting the representations made from time to time by the British.

ACCEpTANCE EXPECTED

Then the plan to adjourn until Au- gust 12, subject to an earlier call from the President, was framed by tue leaders in the belief that it would be accepted eagerly by the membership. In his letter to Representative Sims. chairman of the House interstate and foreign commerce committee, the President thanked the House for act ing so promptly in passing the reso- lution yesterday and expressed the hope that House members would 1n- fluence expedition in the Senate. That influence was welded in dramatic fashion when Representative Kitchin, W ith the statement that he did not be- lieve the House majority would ap- prove it, withdrew the concurrent res olution for adjournment.
 When the recess resolution was sent to the House Representative Kitchin asked for it's immediate consideration Representative Bankhead of Alabama asked for half hours debate. to which Representative Gardner of Tex as objected. A roll call for a quo rum followed and at it's conclusion MT. Kitchin reviewed the legislative situation as 1t related to the recess He said he and Senators Martin and Simmons had conferred with Presi- dent Wilson and then declared:

SIX FITCH OF CAREER

New York, July 6.-Joln Purroy Mitch el, killed in in an aviation accident to- day, became a flyer for the army after having been defeated last fall for re- election as mayor of New York. He had served one term as the chief executive of the countrys biggest city, the youngest mayor ever elected to that office. On July 19, next, he would have been g years old.
 Major Mitchell went into army service with previous military training, having taken thee purse at Plattsburg while he was mayor. Upon joining the aviation corps he was transferred to San Diego, Cal, where after successfully covering the cadet training flights to Redondo Beach, he became a full-fledged flyer. He was frequently mentioned as having shown unusual daring.

that the White House conference marked the end of the period of waiting which began upon the bolshevik acceptance of the Brest-Litovsk treaty whereby Ger many gained control of a large sec tioE of Russia and paved the way for extending her influences eastward far into Siberia
 Any military measures that may be put into effect along the Transsiberian railroad or southward from kola, will not interfere with the American plans for lending material aid to the troubled Russian people through business men and industrial leaders who are being asked to undertake the task. An an nouncement is expected at any time of the form which this programme is to take and of the personnel of the first contingent of peaceful rehabilitators.
 HASTE NECESSARY
 Heretofore, the hope of the American government has been that Russia might be helped solely by peaceful means. It is realized, however, that all these plans will require time to execute and that in tn meantime Germany is busy extending and tightening her grasp on the disoi ganized country and actually building a grave menace to the allies on the far east. The allied spokesmen nave repre- sented that instead of improving, inter-
 
 had to worse. The bolshev.k govern ment has conceded German de- mands made at the political ifergrity of the country and is declared 10 have shown no disposition to conciliate the elements in opposition, eIaoodying the best of the Russian people.
 NEWS FROM FINLAND
 When news came that the blsheviki were offering no resistance to the efforts of the t'innish-German troops to cut the railroad at Archangel and Kola ana seize The military stores at those places and the whole Muriransk coast as well, the military advisers of the entente pointed out the great danger that m- pended to the closure of the only channel of communication between the entente powers and the interior of Russia except that in Siberia
 Even under these menacing conditions America las held back while the state department continued to gather infor- nation as tC what was going on. Now the department has been unable to hear from Ambassador Francis for almost two weeks, and it is feared in that time The Germans have been making great hea1-r way in Russia

 Lord Reading, the British ambarrador. was an early caller today upon Secre- tary Of War Baker and soon after 1t oe- came known that President Wilson had summoned the cabinet officers and naval and military chiefs to the White House.
 While the conference was in progress junior naval officers brought maps. in cluding one of the Transsberian rail- road, giving a key to the nature of the For an hour and a half the conference proceeded, and when it was ended the officials proceeded at once to their homes or to their respective de- partmentS.

Major Mitchell, in excellent spirits, went out to the field early this morn- ing with his instructor, Lieut.. John Mo- Caffery, also of New York The officers were discussing politics up until the time the former mayor took the air. The instructor remained on the ground to observe the students climbing opera tions. When about 500 feet up Major Mitchell fell from his seat and his body struck almost at the feet of Lieuten- ant McCaffery. The body, which landed head first, and was badly mangled, was left at the field until tonight when 1t was brought here. The airplane, | sim gle scatter scout machine, went skim ming on without pilot for half a mile and then fell 800 feet, completely de- molished
 As soon as he was informed of the accident Major Luckie, senior medical officer at the field, with two ladies, went to Mrs. Mitchell and informed her, of the death of her husband. She re- ceived the news calmly and asked to be allowed to remain alone. She also stated she desired to make the trip tc New York unaccompanied.
 The body was shipped from here to- night and is due to arrive in New York early Tuesday morning.
 Major and Mrs. Mitchell came from San Diego, Cal, to Gerstner Field June 19. Major Mitchell intended to perfect himself in pursuit work while at the Louisiana field. He was regarded among the officers and cadets as a daring and skillful pilot His death caused deep re- gret in Lake Charles as well as at the camp. Business was practically suspend ed during the day.
 The former mayor was invited to de- liver the Fourth of July oration at the Lake Charles celebration, but declined because of war department orders. He also was invited to Baton Rouge to ad- dress the people of the state capital on June 28, Thrift Stamp Day, but declined for the same reason. S
 Major and Mrs. Mitchell made their residence at the aviation camp.
