ADMIRAL MOFFET FLAYS
MITCHELL in STATEMENT

present at the meet to exercise his
authority.
This was not done. Responsibility
lies with this man and he cannot
eyade it by trying to shift the re-
sponsibility to the system"
Admiral Moffetts statement fol-
lows:
"The time of national bereavement
when the heart of an entire nation
is heavy with grief over the loss OF
fourteen members of the crew of the
Shenandoah, and when hope Of the
rescue of the crew of the PN-9 had
about gone, was seized upon by the
proponents of a separate air force as
a fitting time for the advancement
of their claims by an attack upon the
agencies of the government charged
with the development Of aviation.
SAYS CHARGES FALSE.
Before the Shenandoah dead had
been buried, charges were broadcast
in the public press which, in their
falseness and vindictiyeness, are al
most without precedent in the history
of this country.
"These charges, couched often in the
form of questions to protect the orig
inators, are so palpably false as to
make one wonder how they could have
been seriously considered.
Launched in a moment OF great
stress and intense emotion, they have
done incalculable harm to the ma
ton.
THE most disturbing factor in the
situation is the example of military
officers in the employ of the govern
ment making a political appeal over
the heads of Congress to the people.
rThis might be the opening wedge
for military dictatorship in the United
States. If personal political appeals
of military demagogues are to go un,
needed, it bodies ill for the future of
the republic"

LEGION BACKS
MITCHELL IN
AIR STAND
Walton D. Hood Endorses
Colonel's Fight for
Service Reforms.
BY JOHN A. KENNEDY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Re-
form Of the nations air defense policy
now looms as the major problem to
come before the American Legion in
its annual convention at Omaha, Oc-
tober so.
The effect on public opinion caused
by the tempest created over the
wreck of the Shenandoah and the
charges of glaring inefficiency in air
matters voiced against both the army
and navy by Colonel William Mitch
ell and others has brought the air de-
Tense to the fore in legion circles.
Leaders of the ex-service organiza-
tfon are deeply concerned over the
conditionsof aviation both in the army
and navy and plan steps to throw the
weight Of the Legion's influence be-
hind progressive program of air
craft development.
How best to use the strength of the
army Of former soldiers in behalf of
adequate air defense is the question
now before Legion officials.
Progressives in the Legion will urge
the national organization to back the
fighting colonel to the limit.
One thing certain, according to
both the conservatives and progress
sives in the veterans organization, the
Legion is behind Mitchell's policy of
aircraft reform whether it wishes to
take official cognizance of his court
martial or not.
The other big features OF the con-
vcntion is to be the address of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
q. Omaha is making preparations to
take care Of 10000 visitors.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. A.
Charging that obstructive criticism
and "false accusations" have shaken
the confidence of the country in its
government, have sown seeds of dis
cord in the aviation establishments
and shave branded loyal servants of
the people with the stigma that denial
can hardly efface," Rear Admiral Will
liam A. Moffett said today in reply
to the singing accusations made
against both the army and navy avia-
ton service by Colonel William NJ.
Mitchell.
While Admiral Moffett's statement
is officially termed reply to recent
charges in the press" and does not
mention Colonel Mitchell by name,
his references to charges made by
that officer are so direct no doubt
can exist at whom the statement is
directed.
ACCUSATIONS ABSURD.
at. has been charged that the ac-
cidents to the Shenandoah and the
Pho were the direct result of in
COMPETENCY, criminal negligence and
almost REASONABLE administration Of
the national defense by the Navy and
War Departments" says Admiral
Moffett, adopting the language used
by Colonel Mitchell in his statement
of September 5. "Such a charge is
absurd in its very extravaganza.
"The most charitable way to regard
these charges is that their author is
Of unsound mind and is suffering
from decisions Of grandeur"
In his statement of September 9,
Colonel Mitchell charged that Lieuten-
ant Pierson and Captain Skeel were
killed in dilapidated racing planes at
the last racing meet.
IF these planes were dilapidated,
asserts the admiral, at was the duty
of high ranking aviator who was

more.
II have taken 1t for hoarseness
and colds, and found it relieved me.
l take small doses and believe this
is more beneficial for me.
II gladly recommend Black
Draught to friends, and as for my
self, l am absolutely satisfied that
1t can't be beat for indigestion, and
for the liver it's the best medicine
made"
Constipation, with an inactive
liver, locks up poisons in the body
and allows them to do their dan
gerous work.
Drive out these poisons with
Thedford's Black-Draught, the pure
ly vegetable liver medicine. In
use over rs years.

thousands of men and women to

DEMOCRATS SEE
A|RPRObE BY
CONGRESS
Say Coolidge's Move Made
to Prevent Inquiry
by u. 5. Solons.
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE APP
pointment of a committee Of nine, by
President Coolidge to investigate the
aviation scandal, while hailed with
joy by Republicans, will not prevent
an investigation by Congress and a
battle for a unified air service on the
floor of both Houses, Democratic lead
ers announce.
As Republican members backed up
the presidential move as ''the only
proper thing to do under the circum-
stances" Democrats characterized it
as an attempt to forestall a congress
ional probe of the whole national de-
Tense system.
FORCES ISSUE
The movement for the creation of
a new department of national defense
to include both the army and navy,
with the air services combined, as adj
vocated by Colonel Mitchell was de-
clared by Democrats to have gained
such momentum that the issue will
be forced, immediately Congress re-
convenes.
President Coolidge's action was
aimed to forestall a thorough probe
by Congress, but believe that body
is too thoroughly aroused over the
air scandal to be satisfied with any
recommendations save those made by
its own committee" said Senator
King, Democrat of Utah.
81 shall press for adoption Of my
resolutions to unity the air services,
and also my resolution to investigate
the destruction of the dirigibles
Shenandoah and Roma
In this attitude, Senator King had
the support of Representative Aswcll,
Democrat, of Louisiana.
CHARGE BUNGLING
president Coolidge believes that
he will head off a congressional in
yestigation by naming board of his
own to look into aviation" said Mr..
Aswell.
81 believe Congress will insist upon
making its own investigation. The
people want the air forces united; they
want to fix the control under one chief
and do away with the present bung-
ling"
Senator Dale. Republican, of Yer
mont, agreed that sweeping probe
must be conducted into the aircraft
situation, but insisted that Congress
should wait until the Presidents
board has made its report.
