criticism Of what he regarded
as inadequate air dcfnse have
resulted in an army court martial
verdict finding him guilty Of ,insub-

Sh!l under technical arrest. the
colonel marked time today while the
courts decision passed through reg
ular channels to the secretary Of
war and thence to President Cool
ldge for review and Approval
After deliberating less than three
hours late yesterday, the court found
Mitchell guilty of violation Of the
9Gth article of war "to the prejudice
of good order and military disci-
pllne.' Eight specifications in the
charges were based on the colonels

Takes Verdict With a Smile
With the same n0nchalancc that
has marked him during the long CON

Mitchell received the verdict with u

refused to appear before the court.
said he would testify. 1t is likely
that he will be asked concerning his
charges that the Shenandoah was
poorly conditioned for her last trip.
May Enter Politics
Colonel Mitchell's friends believe
he will remain silent until President
Coolidge takes final action on the
army courts verdict and that he
might offer his resignation il the sus-
pension is upheld. If his resignation
should BE- accepted. friends think,
Colonel Mitchell might consider en-
terng politics next year in Wiscon-
sin and possibly try for a senate seat
in opposition to Senator LenrOOt, who
is to stand for reelection.

HE assumes as he has done in the

office Of governor carries with it the
right and privilege Of summarily dis
posing Of industrial disputes from the
standpoint of political expediency."
"The simple and effective way of
ending the trouble" the statement
concluded, "would have been for the
governor to advise the mine workers
leaders, whom he has merely buoyed
up by false hopes, that their best
course was to let the men 60 to work
at the old wages and leave disputed
points to arbitration, II they could

Long Discussion

Washington, Dec. lS.-R With

the front line for the moment, OPP
poncnts i'm the senate were marshal
ing their forces today for long
siege.
They were preparing not only for
prolonged discussion of an issue held
in allegiance for nearly three years,
but also for presentation of numcr-
Gus reservations or amendments
which they hold to be necessary to
safeguard the United States should
it adhere to the court protocol.
These reservations would be in ad-

Joined in the controversy, leaders in
the fight against ratification of the
protocol are hopeful that they can
obtain a majority of the senate for
the chief reservations they will put
forward.
Time For Final Vote In Doubt
With the opening gun in the battle
fired only yesterday by Senator Swan
son, none of the leaders would VEN
ture an opinion today as to the time
of final vote. The more optimistic
said it probably was several weeks
distant while others thought it might
be some months away.
Present indications are that both
sides will contribute freely to the de-
bate before additional reservations
are brought under consideration.
Discussion and disposition of these
necessarily will consume much ad-
ditional time.

MEDICAL MEN QUESTION
 VALUE OF MILK AS FOOD
Some Believe That It Was Not h. Tended For Adult Use. ConNen-
 yention Hears.
ssociated Press )


 New York, June 2S.--The medi- cal profession has some doubts as to the. value of milk as an adult food, Dr. John P. Sutherland, former dean of the Boston univer- sity School of Medicine, declared today in an address delivered at the eighty-frst annual convention of the American Institute of Homeopathy. In fact, he said "animal milk may not be the ideal food and its free use may be more injurious than beneficial to mankind" Dr. Sutherland's general conclu- sions were that milk was intended to serve as food only during in- fancy; that the milk of one species was not intended to be used by an- other species, except when closely related, and that milk should not be used as food by the adult.
 "Given more appropriate food than milk" pr. Sutherland de- clared, the mental power of the species would be materially im- proved"
 He saw some connection between the prevalence of infantile diseases, imperfect dentition and the increase in the number of weak minded children to the substitution of cows milk for mothers milk as food for the growing children.

Dept. Of Agriculture Gives Out Data On Major Produce Of
 Country. .

Washington, June 23.--tPp-The country's major crops of last year are reported by the Department of Agriculture as having returned pro- fits for the farmers.
 The average 1924 cost of produc- Ing wheat on 4,616 representative farms was placed at s1.22 bushel, compared with an average sale val ue. of sl,43 a bushel. The average corn crop cost on 7,l53 farms was S2 cents bushel against a S1.10' a bushel sale value, and oats on 5.609 farms cost 50 cents bushel and had a sale value of 57 cents. sas.
 An average cost of eighteen cents a pound and an average sales price of 23 cents shown In reports from 284 cotton growers having average yields of 161 pounds Of lint to the acre. Average production costs for potatoes in different parts of the country were below the average sell ing price, but less than the 1923 margin.
 Labor of the farmer and his fam fly and use of the land on & cash rental basis were included in cost charges. .
 Soft corn, the department found deprived many farmers of huskihg corn last year after they had filled their silos and 1t pointed out that it's figures on this crop were likely to be influenced to a greater extent by reports from farmers who were less effected by low yields and soft corn than from those whose crops were severely damaged.
 In the early potato section the average cost was sSD.0l an acre and the average sales value $143.09 an acre. The north central group of states showed the lowest margin be- tween cost and value. the average cost being 3S cents a bushel and the price received averaging 42 cents.
