Mitchell also said that The poll
cics are directed by Notifying Off
GERS who know nothing about fly

used merely as pawns in their

DISGUSTING CONDUCT.
Cen. Mitchell added: THE con-
duct of the War and Navy Depart

the last few years so as to make
any respecting officer ashamed
of the cloth he wears. The airmen

said, dates from the killing of Lieut..

Commenting on the missing sea-

DEAD CHIEFS CONCLUSIONS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Comman-
der Lansdowne wrote in the Aviation
Manual that Serious air bumps and
eddies are the chief dangers Of cleo
trical storms. They are capable of
putting threatening stress on the
structure of an airship. They follow
very definite tracks which makes it
possible to chart the dangerous areas.
Ii such chart were available It
would be poor airmanship of any
captain to. allow thunderstorm to
create disaster for him. His ships
instruments would detect these dis.
turbances' and the charts would b.
of great value. Pilots for long
time WILL of necessity, be flying over
