Colonel Mitcheu's Suspen-
sion From Army

San Jose, CAL, Dec. 19.-R)---Three
local army reserve aviators resigned
from the air service yesterday as a
protest against the five-year expul-
sion Of Colonel William Mitchell. The
three were Lieutenants Robert r..
Ryan, Lyman Lantz and G. II. Nc
Murry.
Lieutenant Charles H. Kruze Of
Coyote, who sent a telegram Of pro-
test of the courts action, asserted

versed the decision he too would re-
sign.
The resigning aviators also felt
the courts action indicated an un-
favorable policy of government to-
ward the air service and that con-
tinuance on such policy made men,

sirable.

Washington. Dec. 19.-'If Tom had
not been stricken blind. he would be
today just 4 prosperous corporation
lawyer"
There's no regret in the manner Of
Mrs. Thomas ID. Schall as she says
this about the husband to whom, for
IS sunless years, she has been secre-
tary, partner and playmate.
AS things have worked out. the
blind man now is United States Scna-
tor from Minnesota. He has Il record
of 10 years in the house, during
which he rose to certain high mo-
ments, at least, Of courageous indie
pendencc and disregard Of material
gain.
He now faces another big fight
his contest with Magnus johnson
over his right to a seat in the Senate
But until that fight starts he is not
borrowing trouble BY worrying about
it now.
There's no sense Of tragedy in Sen
ator Schalis attitude.
Eyes are not so terribly valuable"

MITCHELL TO
KEEP UP FIGHT
FOR AIR FORCE
Question Whether President
Will Accept Resignation,
II Offered
COLONEL Is SILENT
Retirement Regulations Add
Complications to Army
Courts Verdict

Washington, Dec. 19.-lR)-The
army courts verdict suspending Col
onel William Mitchell for five years
has not erDled the "Mitchell case"
but, on the contrary, has produced a
maze Of possibilities extending from
Capitol Hill to the White House.
The only certainties of the situa-
ton today were that Colonel Nit
chell would continue his fight for Il
greater air force and that the ord
Of his court martial was being pre-
pared for submission to the board Of
review in the judge advocate gener-
ais office. 1t is the first step of the
records journey to the White House,
where President Coolidge will PASS
upon it.
There the president may have op-
portunity also to accept or decline
Colonel Mitchell's resignation, which
his friends believe he will offer
should the suspension be upheld.
The co5nel is remaining silent,
while official and unofficial Washing
ton awaits developments and seeks a
key to the tangled prospect that will
face the officer if his sentence is ap-
proved.
E4.aIs $4,000 Fine
At the war department some law
officers arc Of the opinion that Mill
tary courts have no right to deprive
Il soldier Of pay and allowances for
five years and still keep him under
army jurisdiction and unable to ac-
cent outside employment without
permission. They point out. too, that
forfeiture Of pay and allowances in
this case, equals a $4,000 fine.
Complications are added by the re-
tircment regulations of the army and
the prospect that the colonel will
In two and half years Mitchell
will have completed the 80 years SER
vice which cntitlc retirement if de-
sired, and one Of the new questions
is whether the five-year suspension
would figure in retirement computa-
tiOnS.
Would BE Pardon
Should Colonel Mitchell submit Il
resignation, President Coolidge would
have an added problem to solve Ac-
ceptance would amount virtually to
a pardon, and if Mr.. Coolidge desired
the officer to serve his sentence or
part Of it, he would have to refuse
the resignation.

AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE

Edmund Lowe in Marriage in
Transit" is possessed of the repose
and charm of Thomas Meighan. The
more the writer sees of Edmund
Lowe the more he is impressed with
the close resemblance in personal
tiles and in methods of both actors.
Carol Lombard, who plays opposite
him, is of the Lila Lee type, and
pretty and charming.
The plot is absorbing, dealing with
secret service mans mission of
enmeshing foreign agents who stole
government secret code. To do
this the hero of the stirring tale has
to marry girl whom he has seen
for the first time at the altar, when
he impersonates the bridegroom, the
very man he is after. Edmund
Lowe does the dual impersonation
and consequent acting and he is
superb.
The other feature is the much ad-
vertised Germany's great actor, Emil
Jannings, in 1.-The Last Laugh" 1t
is the last day of this program. In
Europe they are loud in praise of
the superiority of American made
pictures. plots and personnel; and
they are right.-Adv.
