No Hope
"SinCe conditions have become
worse, and with the next generation
drinking as never before, there
seems to be no hope the Volstead

said Coffin had also gone hunting

Whether Coffin and Duvall were to-

interests as a victory for the

RE|TERATES CHARGE Of

Colonel, Testifying in Own Defense,
Declares Nation Is at Mercy of

WASHINGTON Nov. 23.-Testfying under oath before
his jury of generals Col William Mitchell today by example
defended his criticisms of the War and Navy Depart
and indirectly reiterated his charges that they
reasonably administered for which charge he is stand
ing court-maral for misconduct"

ing cOurL-HldTlIdl IOr HllScOuI
AS Mitchell took the stand in mis-
own defense two orderlies carried
into court a huge box containing
Mitchell's 500 pounds Of documen-
tary evidences in support of his
charges.
Mitchell sat in the witness chair
with him arms folded and had ready
answers for questions put to him
by Representative Frank r. Reid,
his counsel.
Mitchell said he first learned to
fly in 1916. Touching his World
War experience, he read a letter he
received from General Pershing
shortly after the armistice.
Pershing asked Mitchell to accept
his "sincere congratulations for the
successful operations under your
command"
Mitchell also read a number Of
citations from foreign governments.
Flew All the Time
"Did you fly in the war?" Reid
asked.
Il went into the air and over the
lines every time had the chance. l
went over during all of the major
engagements" Mitchell replied.
Before returning to this country
after the war, Mitchell said he made
exhaustive investigations into
France and England's air power. He
said he conferred with virtually all
Of the military experts.
From my conversations and stu.
dies" Mitchell said, II am positive
that future conflicts between nations
will be preceded by two things: In
tensive activity by submarines and
air attacks on the nerve centers of
hostile States.
Future Wars in Air
1.-The Army will not be called on
the way it has been in the past be-
cause in the future 1t will only func-
ton in a slow. laborious fashion that
will be costly in the way OF lives
lost"
Tell the court If any of the so
called nerve centers were attacked
during the World War" said Reid.
"The cities along the Rhine were
just beginning to be bombarded at
the close of the war. The small
bomhardment had a grave effect on
the civilian population of these
cities"
At the present time, Mitchell said.
the United States is in the hands OF
foreign governments when procure
ment of airplanes is considered.
Touching again on future wars,
Mitchell said airplanes would
sweep by anti-aircraft guns.
"Airplanes." he said, would make
feint attack after felnt attack to con-
fuse the anti-aircraft gun troops and
the civilian population and then de-
liver a potent attack. Anti-craft
guns in the future will be unable to
detect airplanes at night because
the planes will have silent motors.

to arrange for the care of civilian
population in this country In case
IL IS dIldCkeu ny ulIs w . iiuoN NC-

"PiIOtIess Planes"
Mitchell told the court OF nearly
100 recommendations he had made
for improving the service while serv-
ing as assistant chief Of the air
service, ranging from his well-known
policies to minor suggestions for
changes.
Mitchell testified that 1t was possi-
BILE to fly airplanes without any
body in them" He said the Army
should make exhaustive studies Of
the pilotless plane and connect it
with the aerial bomb.
"Pilotless planes have been
flown" Mitchell said, 'but not in

Ghosts that have appeared six tisles
in the past five weeks to Adeine
anG John Santos, lulhng them into
state of coma, from which they
been aroused only by the prayers of
their fathers, will be comDatted by
prayer again tonight.
Last night POO members of the
Portuguese colony, on the plea of
John Santos and his wife, gathered

tried to pray away the spirits.
Their prayers were of no avail.
Shortly after the hour the boy and

were in deep sleep.
They told their parents that a
man and a woman appear to them /;
the woman, an old friend of the fam
lily, now deceased, to the girl, and a
little old man, SO far unidentified,
to the boy, and by their hypnotic
presence lull them into slumber.
Mis-. Santos and her father, who
is now dead, have long been med

THOSE EVERLASTING DEBTS

Our British friends protesting that it will be
grievous and unfair if Great Britain obliged pay
her debt in full, provided concessions are made
other debtors she herself is unable to collect what
she lent to other Allies
While granting that there is ground for that pro-
test, intelligent Americans cannot help reminding the
British that their country has derived benefit
from the than any other member of the alliance
particularly vast German territories and large share
of Germanys world trade
The French have suggested that all of the allied
and associated nations should shoulder them accord
ing to their wealth. The idea evidently is that the
United States, being incomparaby the weathest of
the begerents, should assume nearly all the burden
and cancel the loans it made to the Allies.
America may make the rather obvious answer that,
if her motive had been sefdefense, her
safety and wealth not endangered those of
France and her neighbors and so it is unreasonable
to ask her to pay for the victory large proportion of
her wealth as nations whose lives and possessions
all at stake.
This is not saying that the allied debts necessar-
lily should, could be paid in full by the usual pro-
cesses of payment. 1t may be good policy, sooner or
later make concessions either reducing the amount
due permitting payment in goods instead of money
But frank recognition of facts they are,
the part of the Debtors would put this country in
mood more favorable for such concessions When
debtor talks reputation, matter how he disguises
it, creditor naturally feels like demanding the last
dollar.
