In making public the report today,
Secretary Baker disapproved the rec

Baker Disapproyes.
In disagreeing with this feature of
the report Mr.. Baker said:
"Army and navy aviators are spec
iaIists in the art; both the airplanes
and the pilots needed are of a diff
ferent type from those needed in
civilian undertakings. A separation
of the air service from the army or

IRRIGATION PROJECT
LACKS ENOUGH LABOR

ESPECIAL cosHssrosos~es TO MORNING JouRnAlI
East Las, Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. H.
Construction work at the Las Vegas
irrigation project is being delayed
because of refusal of the men to ac-
cept the wages offered by the con-
tractor. r. c. Storris. The Aqua
Pura company, which furnishes wa
ter to both Las Vegas and East Las
Vegas, recently was compelled to
grant raise in wages demanded by
the men. The irrigation system is
nearing completion. The front of
the dam still needs many feet of rip
rappirg, however, before the lake
can be filled to its complete capac-
ity. The water now is about so feet
deep and in the neighborhood of a
mile wide and two miles long.

COPPER SALES To

Ief hoNNiNS JOURNAL eFhSisL NNAbhp WiFhi
Washington, Aug. 12.-Government
dealings in copper, as purchaser be-
fore and during the war, and a seller
following the armistice, were the sub
ject of investigation today by the
house subcommittee on ordinance de-
lpartment expenditures. Total pur-
chases of the metal by the war de-
partment were shown to have
amounted to $153,334,479, nearly all
secured from the United Metal Sell
ing company, which was organized at
the instance of Bernard M, Baruch,
with John D. Ryan, as president.
Expert accountants employed by
the federal trade commission testi-
fled that this copper had cost the
producers who formed the company
and who are said to be the largest
miners in the United States, approx :
rnately $103,03S,156, leaving a profis
on the purchases of $50,306,341. Tho
selling company itself, according 70
C. w. Welsh and Tobias Wolfson, its
executive officers, made nominal pro-
fits in commissions on the sales.
At the conclusion of the armistice,
according to the testimony, the gov
ernment's surplus of copper amounted
to 100,00O,000 pounds, for which il
had paid 231s and 26 cents pound.
A contract was given to the United
Metal Selling company to sell 1t back
to the producers. which was done at
prices ranging from 1873 to 10 and 20
cents pound.
M. c. Wooster chief accountant
of the trade commission, testified thai
the average cost of producing coppci
in 1917, as shown by the books of the
larger producers, was 1876 cents, and
in 1918, 1873 cents. Mr.. Wooster said
that the governments price had been
fixed to allow the companies with
the highest costs to continue produc-
ing and said that the system had
given some of the lower cost corpora

The most interesting of the opinions
l obtained follow
Let Compromise BE Shown.
A Banker With Worldwide Busi-
ness Connections.-My correspondence
shows that European business men
have a very queer idea of the Ameri-
can government. They seem to have
lost sight of the fact that the United
States is a democracy and not an au-
tocracy. | believe the senate discus
sion has been not only highly illumi-
mating to these Europeans but neces-
sarily constructive, but / do wish that
the compromise that seems inevitable
could be reached without further de-
lay.
Another Banker.-The senate is put
ting our president in a very false
light in foreign eyes They are prac-
tically repudiating not only him but
the United States. They have already
destroyed whatever prestige the presi-
dent might have gained by his mag
nificent fight for democracy abroad
and the sooner they end their war
upon him the better it will be for
American interests in the countries
to which we hope to extend our trade.
At present business is practically at a
standstill and | must confess | do not
like the looks Of things.
A Man Who Sat Next to Me in a
Movie.-The reason I applauded the
picture of the president just then was
because those senators in Washing
ton are doing their best to put him in
wrong with the people. | hope he wins
out, but more than that / wish they
would do something in the senate be-

AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE
 TO ARISE DURING WAR

Herman Valdrini, who left Pres colt about six years ago to enter a university In Italy, has arrived in New York City and is due in this city today, after having passed through an unusual experience.
 He was drafted into the Italian army against the protest of himself and the American minister, owing to his age. which was about Y years, and his fathers American citizen ship. He served faithfully, however. throughout the war, and escaped in jury.
 After the arrnistice he made appli- cation for his passports to return to the United States, but the matter was delayed until his father, Joseph Valdrini of this city, forwarded to Rome his naturalization papers.
 The state department at Washing ton took cognizance of this action, and after nearly a year of official sparring young Valdrini was released from the Italian army. He is only 20 years of age, and sends word that he will complete his education under folds of Old Glory and leave foreign lands alone.

Trade was Indian agent of the Supais, the agency being situated near the rim of the Grand Canyon north of Ash Fork, and i'll his day he became familiar with the mineral possibilities of that reserve, which he proposes to enter and pros pect for copper.

He is going bacl; to familiar haunts as soon as official action permits, and while away Mrs. Trade will make this city her home. Cochise county mining people are also interested in this movement.

W'|II.HIPPLE HELPS VOCATION MAN
 WITHSOLD|ERS
(From Sundays Daily)

The directors of education at Fort Whipple, Captain Adams, Sergeant Teachout, and in fact every member of the vocational staff, are giving cordial cooperation to the survey of disabled and wounded soldiers and eX-service men now being made by Bruce L. Crow, the official represen- tative of the Twelfth district of the Federal Board for Vocational Edu- cation. Dividing his time between the men consalescent at the post and such discharged soldiers as have re- turned or came to Prescott and vicin- ity, the advisor had to date made a complete survey Of over 40 cases, there being probably that many more to be covered. Several disabled men in Prescott who have not had the opportunity of a vocational survey have taken advantage of MT. Crows presence, as have eX-seryice men from the surrounding towns.
 At the post all men in Class A and others who are likely to be dis charged soon on the affidavit of rela- tives, or for other reasons, are af- forded an opportunity to give full data as to their choice of occupation in the near future, the work they desire to assume in view of their handicap received in the service of their country, and with the matter Of their fitness for and chance for sue cess in the occupation selected, are given every encouragement and as sistance to resume an active and sue cessful career among men.
 The advisor will visit outside points as far as practical, going as far east as Holbrook, stopping at St. Johns, Flagstaff, Jerome and other points. After covering the northern part of the state, he will re- turn to his headquarters in Los An geles for a brief stay, on his return to Arizona devoting4 his time to the southern section until it is completely covered.
 Any discharged soldier, sailor or marine wishing to get in touch with a representative of the Federal Board for Vocational Training can locate Mir. Crow at the Congress hotel, or by calling up Captain Adams at Fort Whipple, who will give information as to the arrangement of time when his inquiry can.be given full at tention. MT. Crow expects to re main ill Prescott several days longer possibly a week.
