 WORLD FLEET
Project to Be Laid Before Secretary Once It Assumes
 More Definite Form
IN PRELIMINARY STAGE
Tentative Plans or Project Under Discussion by Army
 Air Service Officials

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Tentative plans for an attempted flight of army airplanes around the world have been under consideration for some months by air service officials. it was learned today, but the project has not as yet passed the preliminary survey stage. Valuable data on airplane routes in both directions has been obtained, however. and ultimately it is hoped to send a considerable aerial squadron on the voyage. The project will not be laid before Secretary Weeks for approval, it was said, until it takes much more definite form.
 Two of the routes considered are that from the Atlantic coast via Ice land and Ireland and that from the Pacific coast via Alaska, the Aleutian Islands; Siberia and home, via Ireland and Iceland Air service officials said the route offering the most favorable conditions as to prevailing winds would be selected, should the flight be ordered and it would then become necessary to obtain permission of each of the countries to be traversed before the squadron could start.
 The question of air navigation by pilots of one country over the terri tory of another nation had been con- sidered by the council of the league of nations in order to establish uni formity of practice. So far as the United States and Canada are con- cerned, a recent agreement fixes re- ciprocal rights for the pilots of the two nations.
 Army fliers conceived the world circling flight plan in line with the reasons which prompted President Roosevelt to send the fleet around the world in 1908, it was said. It would have value both as a step in providing aerial defense through training and in giving the world a better under standing of American postwar devel- opments. Possibly a special act of congress to authorize a flight and make necessary appropriations would be required should administration of ficials approve the scheme.

DISCLAIMS CRITICISM
Would Subsidize Industrial Plants For War; General
 Attacks Pacifism

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Fear that America is drifting back to its short sighted. careless and happy-go-lucky attitude of the early days of the European war toward the 'vitally i'm portant' matter of preparedness, was expressed by Secretary of War Weeks in an address tonight before the New York post of the Army Ordnance as sociation.
 q have no patience" he declared, with the groups of silly pacifists in this country who are seeking univer- sal peace through undermining, with their insidous propaganda, the ability of their own country to protect itself. What do these people see in the signs of the times to deceive themselves in to believing that we can disarm while others arm? In what way has human nature changed since 1914?"
 Disclaiming any intention to crit cize the administration of Woodrow wilson the secretary declared that America had entered the world war totally unprepared."
 If We have learned anything .om  the world war, he continued, i've must develop and perfect the industrial for ces to adequately support the fighting forces
 First we must counteract indiffer- ence. and. secondly, forget the idea which is somewhat prevalent that we did a good job in this war and will do even better in another. A system atic plan must be worked out to in sure economic preparedness.' MT. Weeks then outlined briefly the work that assistant secretary Wainwright was doing in dividing the country into ordnance districts, presided over by district chiefs charged with the work Of maintaining the productive effici- ency of their districts.
 This work he said. would be fraught with great difficulties because many of the plants developed by steel com panies during the war, were not fit ted for peace time work and some of them would have to be closed.
 "If the country were in financial position to do so, believe we should subsidize those plants and keep them"

Supporters of Teddy Oppos- ing Mayfield Lose Fight
 to Force Use of Name

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct 23-Sup- porters of E. B. Teddy lost their fight today before a special tribunal of fed eral judges to force the use of his name on the official Texas ballot for United States senator in opposition to Earle B. Mayfield, Democratic nom inee and reputed Ku Klux Klan candi- date. The judges held that they were without jurisdiction to grant the relief asked for by the Teddy faction. adding that other questions than that of juris- diction were not considered in the de- cision. The case was transferred to New Orleans after an injunction had secretary of state of Texas to put the name of Teddy on the ballots.
 Judge Erwin, of the Mobile federal court, declined to hear the case on the ground of no jurisdiction. Attorneys for the fusion candidates announced they will carry their fight to the SUI preme court of the United States if necessary and those representing the state heralded the decision as a vic tory for state rights.
 National politics became involved in the case today when attorneys for the anti Ku KluX Klan or fusion faction, announced that R. B. Creager, one of the complainants, had received let ter from President Harding in which the national executive declared he ''is backing Teddy" Texas Republicans, it was said. were commended by the president for aiding Democrats "in CO., alition against all groupings and classes attendant upon dictation con trary to American ideas"
 In presenting their arguments, at torneys for the Teddy action con tended that Mayfield is the candidate of the Ku Klux Klan which. they de- clared has absorbed the Democratic party in Texas. Therefore, they charged. Mayfield is not the Demo cratic candidate. They claimed their client was being "unconstitutionally discriminated against by the Texas election laws and construed by the attorney general.
 Attorneys for the state argued that the klan issue was not q part of the question: The issue, they declared, was whether the state has the right to regulate it's own primaries. Attorney General Keeling declared that he was

 Time; Make New Request

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. g. -(By the Associated Press)-The Hall-Mills murder investigation halt ed today for change of pilots and with Wilbur A. Mott, deputy attorney general at the helm it will start again tomorrow practically from the begin ming
 The long heralded change in the personnel of investigators came this morning when Attorney General Me Gran at Trenton notified County Pro- secutors Beekman of Somerset and Strlcker of Middlesex, that he had granted their requests that they be superseded. The request was made through Supreme Court Justice darker early last week but was temporarily withdrawn when the prosecutors found what they thought was a hot clue leading to the murderer or mur- derers. When this line of investiga- tion failed to provide them with a clear cut case they repeated the re- quest.
 The two prosecutors quit work on the case as soon as news of Motts appointment reached them. They will step formally out tomorrow after they have told the deputy attorney general all they known about it, taking with them their respective county detec- tives.
 Just how Mott will attack the mys- tery remains to be disclosed. He said today he expected to start from the beginning and that one of his first steps would be a careful analysis of all the love letters and the diaries ex- changed between the minister and the choir singer
 State police also are expected to continue their work, reporting to Mott

 Today was devoted 10 the formali- ties necessary in monarchial country to change in the government.

It is the almost universal opin- ion that he succeeds to most diff cult task and many misgivings are heard as to whether his health will stand the inevitable strain. but he has made it quite clear that if he finds his health unequal to the task. he shall be allowed quietly to step aside.
 The situation is unique in the an nals of British election politics, inas- much as only three weeks before the election date none of the leaders has yet announced his policy: each side appears to be waiting on the other.
