FREE SPEECH.
CLAIMS Of
COLONEL
DENIED
Reid Attacks Charges on
Ground Kinds Failed
to Sign Them.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. @.-
R)-Colonel William Mitchelps plea
of immunity from military trial on
the charges pending against him was
overruled today in the general court
martial proceedings against him.
The courts law officer ruled that
when Colonel Mitchell charged War
and Navy Department officials with
criminal" and almost reasonable"
conduct in administering the air SER
vices, he committed an offense against
military discipline, and could not take
refuge from punishment in the consti-
tutional guarantee of free speech, as
he had sought to do.
CONSULT IN SECRET.
This opinion, the effect of which
was merely to sustain the jurisdiction
of the court and make it possible TO
proceed with the trial, was approved
by the court itself after a short con
sultatiOn in secret.
The law officer, Colonel Blanton
Winship, gave his opinion after the
court, the prosecution and the defense
had agreed to leave the point to him.
but in rendering his decision he asked
that specific court approval be given.
An effort TO have the court vote on
that approval in public was blocked
by an objection by Brigadier General
Frank r. Mccoy, commander of the
Third Infantry Brigade, Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, Colonel Mitchell's
last station. The court then retired,
and took a secret vote, returning aft
er only short interval to announce
its approval.
OVERRULES OBJECTIONS.
The ruling applied specifically only
to that specification in the charges
which applied to Colonel Mitchell's
first San Antonio statement CRITICS
ing the conduct of the air service, but
it was in the nature of a test, and
one by one, the court then proceeded
in rapid order to override Mitchelrs
objections to its right to try him on
the remaining counts.
Representative Reid, of Illinois,
counsel for Colonel Mitchell, then
moved that all the charges be stricken
out. He said the courts record failed
to show that the commanding officer
accused had ordered the charges
against the defendant investigated or
had, himself, investigated the charges
as required by court-martial regula-
tions.
IF Colonel Mitchell had been
guilty of any offense," Mr.. Reid said,
"it should have been charged by his
commanding officer at that time-Ma-
jor General Ernest Kinds, in charge
of the Eighth Corps Area at San An
tonic.

back home.
Definite announcement of the date
of Jimmie's return will be made by
her physicians during the next few
days, according to reports from St.
Louis.
Meantime. while Jimmie's stay in
the big st. Louis hospital draws clos
er to its end, great preparations are
going on in a little home in San An
tonic. Jimmie's mother is getting
ready for her little girls Homecoming.
SURPRISE IN STORE.
Warm little dresses, made with n
mothers infinite care; each garment
Il work Of love, gained by sacrifice-a
wardrobe that any little girl would be
proud to wear, waits for Jimmie as a
big Surprise when she comes home.
When Shcba's caravan reached Solo

than Jimmies.

not have come back. ever, TO the home

For when Jimmie went away, after
four years OF suffering, for an oper-
alton on the luns that a grass blade
had abscessed, she was only taking a
dangerous chance to get well-not
even the doctors knew whether the
hopeful little invalid would ever see
her mother again.
CHILD HOMESICk.
That is why the mother who sent
her away TO fight her battle with
death, nearly a year ago, is happy
now as she sews on those gay little
dresses-as she "prctties" the humble
house and makes over old toys for
Jimmie's return.
Jimmie knows how hard it is soine-
times, for her mother TO give her
what she wants. But not long ago
Jimmie asked for a pair of balloon

DISHOP MONTGOMERY BROWN
- driven from the church by the

wound up his speech to the American
Negro Labor Congress in Chicago
with, "Long Live Communism"
Leaving out the wisdom of such a
wish, it can't come true. Even If
communism started, it would die OUT
here, as it must everywhere. 1t does
not appeal to human nature. The
rich young man, told to take what
he had, give to the poor "and fol-
low Me-, was much impressed, but
be kept his money.
The handspring of human activity
is selfishness. That's sad, but true.
There won't be any Communism UNI
til you change the human race.
But there may be developed jus
tice and intelligence that would work
more benevolently than any sort of
Communism.
