U. S. TROOPS QUELL
RIOTING IN PANAMA
Tanks Called to Restore Order
Following Strike Against
High Rents.

Balboa.-At the request Of the gov
eminent of Panama, three battalions Of
United States infantry took over the
policing of Panama City as a result
OF the riots accompanying the renters
strike. The American troops marched
to their positions in trench helmets and
singing A. e. f. campaign songs.
The American troops raided the boil
shevist headquarters in Sixteenth
street, Panama City. The soldiers en-
tered the building following monster
parade which had joined the funeral of
riot victim.
AS the Yanks mounted the stairs the
Reds from above pelted them with fiat
irons. spades and furniture. This at
tack failed to stop the soldiers and
the Reds made wild rush to escape.
One of them leaped from a window and
was killed, while two others received
bayonet wounds.
Panama is now calm with twelve
hundred American troops encamped
and parading streets. Santana plaza
has been turned into temporary en-
campment. Brig. Gen. C. II. Martins,
commanding the troops, said: II be-
lieve Panama has never been quleter.
We are working in complete harmony
with the Panaman police authorities"
The troops comprise three battalions
OF the Thirty-third infantry from Fort
Clayton, five miles from Panama City.
AS the troops entered, Panama mob
OF several thousand blocked the way.
but with fixed bayonets the soldiers
soon dispersed the crowd.
With the presence of American
troops business gradually is beginning
to reopen.
The new riots in Panama broke out
as an outgrowth of the riots of Satur-
day night, when the police killed a.
worker during a demonstration against
high rents.

ARMY GENERAL STAFF
PRAISES ENLISTED MAN
Says Separate Flying Force
Has Been Found UnsG ind.

hington.-Praising the enlisted
man and declaring that he must not
be forgotten In the whir of airplane
propellors, boom of cannon and prance
OF horses, the army general staff, in
ol-page statement, gave the Presi-
dents air investigating committee its
reasons for opposition to proposals
for any change in the present or
ganization of the army and navy.
The proposal for a department of
national defense, under which the
army, navy and air service would be
separate and integral parts, was
called "unsound" in the general
boards statement, which was pre-
sented by Brig. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum. The staff also opposed the
proposal of Maj. Gen. Mason M.
Patrick, chief of the army air service,
for a separate air department within
the army as step toward a national
defense department.
All the proposals for reorganization
outlined before the board have been
considered by the general staff in one
form or another since the war, the
statement said. 1t declared that the
present policy had been crystalized
from varying opinions as the "sane,
definite and well-thought-out policy"
The air units are essential to an
army and must be an integral part
of the army if it is to work out eff
GENTLY, it was declared, adding the
appeal not to forget that the dough-
boy must still bear the brunt, al
though aided by the other services.
