Fluctuatina Fund.

1t developed here that the War
Finance Corporation has something
like s250000, 900 that it can use toward
financing the railroads, but this sum is
fiuctuating one, changing with liqui-
dation or renewal OF existing or out
standing loans.
The conference was confined to the
railroad executives and Government Off
cials. 1t was intended TO have the bank
ers and financial leaders OF the nation
in attendance, but this plan was changed
at the last minute on the premise that II
would be we'll for the Government and
the railroads to get together on their
needs and abilities before the bankers
were consulted.
With this end in View the railway ex-
ecutives have appointed a special COM
mittee, headed by Howard Elliott as
chairman ex otiicio. TO consult and ad-
wise with Director-General Hines on
problems Of the needs and abilities of
tho various roads.
In addition. Mr.. Hines has asked rep
rensentatives of the car and equipment
companies TO a general conference on

called in after this conference for an
other exchanges between the executives

Optimistic View Taken,

Inc railroad men attending the confer
ence almost without exception take an
optimistic view of the situation. Though
number of them we're plainly pessinls-
tic when they entered the conference
room 1t was generally agreed tonight
that the situation could be satisfactorily
worked out The railway executives
pledged their full aid by resolution
adopted at separate meeting in the af-
ternoon regarding the financing pro-
gramme as projected. The War Finance
Corporation and the Treasury will work
with the railroad interests in keeping
rates down to reasonable basis
The railroad men generally were not
willing TO be quoted on the situation
either as to what the future holds or as
TO their opinions as 10 the best remedy
in the present situation. They generally
agree with the position of the Railroad
Administration against curtailments Of
improvements or necessary additions and
bettements because OF the possible ef-
feet of such action on the general bust
ness situation.
Suggestions for the wide use of eduip-
ment trusts and the carrying of n large

KenIy Went TO Rescue.

Gen. kenly was put in as the active
head of the army flyers at a time when
its record was blacllest-after the waste
OF many human lives through the use
of improperly built planes and the waste
Of millions OF dollars In building planes
which had 10 be scrapped. From that
point Gen. Kenly has been veSy largely
responsible for bringing the army air
service up to its present condition.
No explanation was made at the war

the assignment OF Gen. Kenly nor his
demotion to the grade of Colonel. Sec
rcta@y Baker IS not IN Washington and

Corps officer.
TSe MY expIanatiol.Ssc ny saSSW 7de
at the War Department was that the
removal of Gen. Kenly as head of the
military aeronautics branch OF the army
was n natural consequence of the gem
eral reduction in personnel and flying

best, according to the War Department,
not TO have a MaJor-General at the head

PARIS, March 11.-A change i'll
viewpoint in American circles in re.
gard to the revision of the covenant
Of the League of Nations has become
now clearly apparent. There is the
best authority for saying that the
sentiment now Is that the covenant
should be carefully revised. OF even
more Importance is an admission in
American mission circles that the
Monroe Doctrine should be inserted
IN the new draft.
This change in opinion may or may
not be due to advices received from
the George Washington. now nearing
Brest, but that it has been influenced
by the views expressed in foreign
diplomatic quarters. to which TIL
SUN called attention last week.
scarcely can be doubted.
The idea that the Republican sen.
timent must be conciliated is grow.
ing in these circles, although some
embarrassment is felt as to how 10
approach the President on the sub
iect. 1t is now certain that whatever
the Presidents opinions may be Oh
this subject he will be advised by at
least the members of the mission that
the Monroe Doctrine should be in
serted into the covenant, and further
more, that it viii not be difficult t.
do this.
Sure TO lie Rcdrawn.
1t Is now almost safe to make the
prediction that the covenant Of the
league will be rcdrawn in at least
three particulars. as follows:
/, TO give recognition to the
Monroe Doctrine, making it clear
that mandates and the exercise Of
police powers in the Western
Hemisphere shall be confined TO
the United States and other
American countries.
=. Giving the right 10 every ma
tion to withdraw from the league
after due and sufficient notice
3. To clarity Article y. so as to
show that its recommendations
are not binding unless constltu-
tlonaliy approved and that no I'M
pairment of sovereignty is implied.
Careful investigation in many diplo.
matte quarters made by representa-
tiveS of THE Sun here seems to war
rant the prediction that the League
Of Nations covenant will not he in the
treaty with Germany which is to be
signed within a few weeks This. 10
all intentS and purposes. will be the
peace treaty; as was done after tho
Franco-PruS>iau war, another and
so-callcd final treaty will be signed
later.

Regarded ms subterfuge.

However, not a word of explanation
was given for reducing Gen. Kenly TO
the grade of Colonel and then putting
Brigadier-General in his post. As "a
matter OF fact flying officers look upon
the explanation as nothing more than a
subterfuge to get Gen. Kenly out of the
way. He is opposed to permitting the
air service of the army to go TO pot and
for that reason is not in high favor with
his chief, Secretary Baker.
The fact that Gen. Kenly, regarded
as one OF the best airplane men in the
army, Is being reduced to his old SER
vice, the artillery. is not without sig
nifcance also. 1t caused no little won
der among officers here that a man with
his extensive knowledge of the aeronau-
ticai situation of the army should be
ousted from It altogether.
The situation is explained by other
officers solely on the ground that Kenly
in his efforts to retain for the army a
real air service with ample machines
and many fiiers ran afioul OF the ideas
OF the Secretary of War which, so far
as can he learned. are of Just the op-
posite character.

SpecinI Despnfch TO The SrH.

WASHINGTON, March IL. ON the
heels of the revelation by THE SUN
that the War Department plans to dis
pose of the bulk of the costly aeronau-
tical equipment of the Government II
became known to-day that the avia-
ton service will be demobilized as rap
idly as possible. by March 81 II 1t can
bo accomplished by that time. In the
plans for the rehabilitation Of the fly
ing service the Government will retain
only two flying fields. these to be des-
ignated later by Major Gen. Charles T.
Menoher, Director of the Air Service.
Only sufficient fiers to maintain and
operate the two fields will be kept for
the air service, and these, It is re-
ported, will have to do only with the
storage and maintenance OF the equip
ment' retained. These fiiers also will
be ones who are anxious to remain in
the service. The orders, which go into
effect on March 15 are said to be part
of the new plan for speeding up de-
mobilization to 100000 by the end OF
the month.
Thirty-eiRht Fields Abandoned.
In all thirty-eight flying fields will
be abandoned by the Government. Al
present there are 10000 trained men ir
the service. and the instruction of these
men until they have beeome experts ir
their lines has cost the Government vast
sums of money. The demobilizatior
plan comedies exactly with THE Sun
story OF last Monday, which has beer
made subject OF a general denial by
Secretary Baker. that the air service
is to be scrapped.
With the release from service OF
practically all OF the 1000 experts now
enrolled 1t naturally will follow that the
great. majority Of planes now in the
possession of the army cannot be used
This fact, 1t is expected, Will be stresses
by the War Department TO lay the foun
dation for the schemes of getting riC
of this enormously valuable equipment
at r!diculously low prices while othel
nations are maintaining their air ser.
vices.
In connection with the demo bilizatiol
plan It also became known that Major,
Gen. William L. Kenly. who generally
is credited with having brought ordei
out of chaos in the army air service
has been removed as Director OF Mil!
tary Aeronautics and reduced to III,
rank of Colonel of the artillery. Col
Kenly has been ordered to report fol
duty to the Chief OF the Field Artillery

ing harbored Korean leaders. and
whose case was heard in the appeal
court Of Pyeng Yang today. Judge

cutor Mitsui represented the prosecusS
ton.
Mr.. Mowry was defended by DR.. o.

assisted by three barristers from Seoul
were R!C. Curtice, the American. vice
consul at Seoul, ten or more Ameri-
can missionaries and several foreign

their request as they were his pupils
Or employees.
Public ~Procurator Mitsui argued
that the point of tho present case was
| whether or not the. defendant was
aware that the Koreans he gave shell
ter to were offenders liable to a legal
punishment heavier than a fine. He
declared that the Rev. Mr.. Mowry's
denial was scarcely to be accepted and
that the judgment pronounced by the
court of first instance should be up
held.
Refutinge this argument. DR.. Uzawa
said that the allegation that~the de-
PENDANT was aware of the fact that
the Koreans were wanted by the po-
lice was not fully established. Accord
ing to his personal investigation, the
room in which the defendant gave
ythem shelter was his study, and was
one nearest to the road. so it was in
full view from the outside. This was
evidence that he harbored no inten-
ton of specially sheltering them from
capture from h police. DR.. Uzawa
urged that the judgment pronounced
at the preliminary examination be
quashed and Mr.. Mowry set free DR..
Uzawa's colleagues also pleaded for
Mr. Mowry. Decision was. reserved.
