trial early in December was predict
ed today by counsel for the defense

ing favorably with the progress that
marked the earlier stages of trial.
Each of the witnesses. lieutenant

published charges Colonel William
Mitchell has made against the air
service administration, some OF
which form the basis of his trial for
INSTRUMENTATION.

al times to lead to forced decision
by the court on the question of evil
dence. The court itself manifested
a desire to settle the question and
asked through its law member. Col
onel Blanton Winship, for decision
on that point.
Representative Frank r. Reid pro-
tested in behalf of his 'lient each
