today, mostly in the Middle West South
and Southwest, In accordance with in
structions issued last week by the rail-

the crack transcontlnental limited OF
the Canadian Pacific. The reduction
of passenger service in the United
States since the strike began Nov. /.
amounts to approximately one-thlrd OF
the total, and in Canada saving OF

effected.

of the country, despite the meeting at
Indianapolis tomorrow Of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and other officials Of the
department OF justice with heads OF
the United Mine Workers OF America,
in an effort to bring about settle
inent of the strike.
MANY hundred thousand workers were

Flyer 5 Dismissal '''''' !
Upheld By Head
OF American NaUy

4 WARRINGTON, Dec. S.-Sentence OF
dismissal imposed by naval court
martial on Capt Edmund George

corps on charges growing out of his
sensational claims of having defeated

ships on the western front. was ap-
proved today by Secretary Daniels.
Chamberlain Is native of San An
tonic, Tex. His case became one Of
unusual interest to the service and Off
cials of the navy department and of the
marine corps were sent overseas to in
vestigate every point involved.
Chamberlain claimed that on July rs,
1918, on a trip over the British front,
he had combatted 12 German planes,
destroyed five of them, damaged two
others, and sweeping earthward with a
damaged machine, scattered a detach-
ment of German soldiers. He said that
after landing he took German prison.
er by pretending that a compass was
bomb, and then carried a wounded
French officer back to safety.
Denial of the exploit by British Of
ficers led to an investigation. Cham
berlain contended that the failure OF
the British flyers to corroborate his
story was because the admission that
an American officer had used Brit
ish machine would have resulted in
their court-martial. Witnesses in Cham
berlain's behalf testified that he had
landed in a British plane on the date
mentioned in his official report.
Chamberlain case now goes tC
President Wilson for final decision.
After the court-martial trial at Lon
den, Chamberlain was returned to this
country and pending review of the case
remained in arrest, being confined tC
the District of Columbia,
The case attracted widespread atten
| tion due to the publicity which Cham
| berlain's story received and his recon
| mendation for both the congressona
medal of honor and the Victoria cross
| of England. The marine aviator is
graduate of Princeton and the Univers
| ty of Texas.
