MITCHELL OPENLY
 DEF|ES WEEKS
Continued from First Page)

Aircraft carrying high capacity, high explosive bombs of sufficient size have adequate offensive power to sink or seriously damage any na- val vessel at present constructed, provided such proJectile can be placed in the water close alongside the vessel"
 Despite expedition in other quar- ters, General Mitchell said, the req son the army air service had accom- plished as much as 1t has, due very largely to the sympathetic attitude of the secretary of war toward avia- tion," and the personal ability of the present chief of the air service"
 General Mitchell took up in detail those statements of his congressional testimony objected to by Secretary Weeks. Explaining his assertion that 'all the organization we have in this country really now is for tho pro- lection of vested interests against aviation," he declared the war, navy, post office and other departments concerned with aviation resist any change which in any way curtail or modify their authority, either over aviation, its development to posi- tion of equality with these depart ments, or it's extension or develop ment beyond its being n mere aux Hilary to their activities"
 Discussing the bombing tests off the Virginia capes in 1921. the gen. eral said the whole performance, in the minds of the air officers partici- pating. appeared to be a deliberate attempt to handicap us in the accom- plishment of our mission" In the 1928 tests, he said, the army avia- tors were ordered to bomb from an excessive altitude.

SEEK TO RESTORE
FRENCH POLITENESS
Aristocratic Dowagers Draw Up
Code of Manners for Boor-

By Cable to The Star and New York World
PARIS, March 1l.-Dowagers of
Faubourg ST. Germain, the so-called
haven of French aristocracy in Paris,
have started a crusade against what
they describe as the growing lack of
politeness, even the boorishness, Of
Frenchmen.
They have formed "a league of po-
lite people," the rules of which were
passed on yesterday over teacups in
one Of the most prominent salons Of
Paris society.
Ono member of the committee ex-
planned that since the war masculine
contempt for the traditions of French
courtesy had known no bounds, and
that the purpose of the new league is
to organize leagues everywhere with
the view of recovering lost manners.
Books and pamphlets will be print
ed and circulated, telling every one ex-
actly how they should act and what
they should say in every given cir
cumstance, in conformity with the

THE fingerprint system" Mr.. Kaye
says, is superior to any other sys-
tenn so far devised in that it per-
mits of no error. This may seem a
strong statement, but the fingerprint,
when clearly made, allows of no mis-
representation; it is an actual presen-
tation and does not permit the per-
sonal equation of ! error to enter.
Other systems allowed errors of
measurement and errors in location
of marks"
In more than 10000. 600 digit photo
graphs in the Identification bureaus
files, Mr.. Kaye says, there are no two

much chance of finding two prints
alike as there would be in going into
