"a few Instances when pilot might
be justified in using it,"
lie pointed out that the aviator
might take q drink to tide him over

tinuous flying for twelve or fifteen
hours.
Lieutenant Maynard said that many
OF the fatal air accidents were due to
pilots flying half intoxicated" or

Thomas Franklin Fairfax Willard
BY Niksah,

rs one Of the worlds greatest au-
Ahorities on far eastern questions
and neckties. He is a conspicuous
success in two ways-as q dresser
and as writer upon international
politics. He has crossed the Pa
cffic ocean probably more times
than any other American writer;
he has lived four years in China
and Japan. with frequent visits to
New York. London. Washington
and Paris: he has been a conspicu-
Gus figure in all controversies in
~olving the far east, such as that
over the Shantung agreement: and
he has done Iall of these things
Nithout once appearing even tenn
porarily mussed up.
= Willard is a man who worships
order and perfection. His English
Is flawless, his logic Is f1awless,
and flawless always are his shirt
fronts, his neckties. and his spats.
You seek in vain for a split initia-
tive among all his voluminous
works, and you never see him
wearing a pair Of pants with less
: than q perfect crease.
, In his political writings Willard
Is perhaps the greatest living en-
envy Of Japanese imperialism. He
feels sure that Japan is trying to
Swallow China, with the result,
,among others, that the United
States will lose one Of its greatest
present and prospective foreign
markets. This catastrophe he has
Mong striven to avert, and with
much effect, by writing books. and
PARTICLES for newspapers and maya
zines. and by patiently trying to
leducate American senators and dip
ii0mats.

ition Of personal adornment, Mil
slard wars with nature much as he
wars with Japan in the political
field. He has never been called
handsome: none the less there are
few men who more insistently de-
light and astonish the eye. He
wears the proper costume on every
occasion. Beginning with a silk

morning, progressing through the
business suits and the formal aft

After an exhaustive discussion OF
the report, MIR. Garrett accused the
Republicans of conducting the en-
tire investigation, not to attack the
officers in France, but merely to
criticize the president Of the United

Mr.. Garrett said he was willing
to let the record speak for itself
and then quoted this sentence
from the concluding paragraph of
the report of General Pershing. in
which he said:
