MITCHELL CLAIMS
PROSECUTION HAS
SHOWN NO GUILT
Declares That Charges of
Misconduct Have Not
Been Proved

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Colonel
william Mitchell today asked the
court Of generals trying him for Of
ficial misconduct to return ver-
dict Of mot guilty
Through his counsel, Representa-
tive Frank R. Reid, Republican, Of
Illinois, he asked the court to find
that tho prosecution had failed to
prove In one single instance that
his critical statements concerning
the administration Of the war and
navy departments had injured good
order ami discipline.
CLAIMS EXONERATION
Substituting the motion for a
verdict IN his favor in place of the
motion to quash proceedings, which
Reid entered last night, the flying
colonel asked complete exoneration.
After a short reply by Colonel
Sherman Moreland, trial judge ad-
vocate, Reid S motion was over
ruled by Colonel Blanton Winship,
law member Of the court.
Swinging into his attack on the
army's ease, Reid launched a form
idable argument based on the con
tention that the 96th article of war
under which Mitchell is being tried
requires proof of harm to discipline
and good order for conviction.
mot one scintilla of evidence has
the prosecution produced Reid de-
tlared, "to prove that Mitchell s
statements were uttered and pub
lished with intent to bring discredit
upon the military service or pre-
iudice the good order and military
discipline.
~ challenege the prosecution to
point to one word or line Of evidence
that il has placed on record to
prove this intent which is an abso-
lutte requisite under the rules laid
down in the manual for courtmartial
iny order to support a conviction.
| No Discredit Meant
"The prosecution will, perhaps
, having failed utterly to prove the
essential element of intent, fall
back on the theory that the state,
ments indicate an intent to bring
! discredit upon the military service
and to prejudice good order and
military discipline.
"How can any fair minded intelli'
gent American citizen, having his
country's welfare at heart, contend
for one moment that. from read
ing Of the whole statement and hav
ing in mind the events which lead
up to their issuance, they were is
sued with any other intent what
ever than the correction of tho
evils they denounced in plain Ian
guage; the arousing of the con
science Of the American people tC
stop the wasteful extravaganza OF
government monies; and prevent ;
continuance Of the loss Of life ant
treasure through incompetence ant
maladministration of the nationa
defense and the air service! N
one can deny that IL the issuance
of the statements could have thes,
effects, their author would be rem

French Socialists Refuse Cabinet Vote of Confdenc
BOLD MEASURES TO MEET FRENCH
FINANCE DILEMMA ANNOUNCED BY
PREMIER AS new TROUBLE LOOMS

Funding Negotiations With United States and
England in Effort to Find Solution

PARIS, Nov. 3.-Faced by the
Socialists refusal to vote conf.
dence in his regime, Premier Pain
leve went before the chamber Of
deputies this afternoon and an.
nounced that the cabinet favors
'bold measures to meet Frances
financial dilemma.
Among the measures he revealed
was the government's firm intent to
continue debt funding negotiations
with America and England in the
hope Of achieving ian equitable
solution" Such solution he pic.
tured as necessary that France and
its francs should be safely sheltered
from financial risks which might
arise out Of uncertainty.
The Socialists early in the day
had definitely declined to register
their confidence in the new eabi.
net. Undaunted, Painleve, faced
the chamber while politicians pre-
dicted for his government at best
only short lease Of life.
He told the deputies that bis cab
met was convinced Of the necessity
for rapid action in restoring finan.
cial equilibrium in France. He coun.
selled against exaggerating the seri,
BUSINESS Of frances position, yet he
added:
1--WE are reaching decisive turn
and cannot live indefinitely with
economic instability
The budget expenses, he said
must be met from taxation and
there must be no initiation. The
try Of initiation was one Of the
things that unseated Painleve 4
former Finance Minister Caillaux
into the discard.
He proposed to meet the national
demands through what he called &
national sacrifice and announced
that "all forms Of wealth will par
licipate in this sacrifice"
The Painleve declaration was re
seived coldly.
Painleve told the chamber subse
quently that he is ready to resign
If others come forward who ear
settle the problems of France better
