MI7CHELL'S BOOK
 NOW UNDER FIRE
Attempt to Show Parts Of It
 Were "Cribbed"

Washington, Dec. 9 tRD --- An ef- fort by tho prosecution 10 question the authorship of part Of Colonel William slitchell's book. "Wingcl Defense" failed today before the army court martial trying the air officer.
 Major Allen Gullion. the assistant judge advocate. sought 10 bring the subject before the court through the testimony of Captain Thomas c. Hart. a navy officer, to prove that Colonel Mitchell had "deliber- ately cribbed" some Of the pas sagos, but the court held that It would not be advisable 10 open up such a phase of the contro- versy.
 The rule false in one, false in all," was argued by Major Gullion. who asserted the testimony should be received to "impeach the ac- cused as a witness"
 To this Representative Frank Reid. defense counsel, replied;
 "I say fool in one thing. a fool in everything" adding that he could excuse Major Gullion on &C., count of the condition of his mind"
 The prosecution insisted that in one of his statements attacking the war and navy departments, which led 10 his trial Colonel Mitchell re- ferred to the book l have written, and that on the witness stand he named the book as Winged De- fense."
 Major Gullion said he would prove substantial parts of the book were "cribbed" from the lecture Of another man, and had brought Captain Hart from the Pacific coast to testify on this phase Of the subject.
 "The statement that Colonel ! Mitchell has perjured himself Is not shown in any part of the rec ord," Mir. Reid said. It was argued by the defense that the book con- tained the statement "eXisting rec ords show" and that q passage about submarines had been pub- lishcd with the explanation clearly cited in the book itself. He called the courts attention to the books foreward, which he rsad in part as follows:
 This little book has been thrown together hastily. It is con- piled from evidence that has been given before the congress of the United States, articles that have ap- peared in the public journals and from personal experience
 After the court had ruled against admission of the testimony, ColoneI Herbert A. White of the Mitchell counsel, wanted Major Gullior cited for contempt for his course but the court ruled otherwise, and Major General Mason NJ. Patrick chief of the air. service, was called He declared he did not consider the D. H. and J. N. types of air planes Inherently dangerous. Colonel Mitchell in his published statements had described these planes as flaming collins"
 General Patrick also declarec that to his knowledge no air pilot! were allowed to fly planes know1 to be dangerous.

WILBUR SLIPPING,

 (Whshington Bureau of N, B. Herald)
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 27,-The days of the Hon. Curtis .. Wilbur of California as secretary of the navy are numbered. according to the opinion which Is pervading the official atmosphere of Washington.
 Whatever the findings of the vari- ous inquiries into matters of aircraft now under way here may be, the be- lief Is current that one outcome is certatn-there will be a consider able shake-up of both the war and navy departments, and in the process Secretary of the Navy Wilbur will sever connections with the official family. Whether the passing of the big Californian from the cabinet is matter of days, weeks or months, is the subject only of wandering speculation, but that thie will come to pass is an opinion seldom dis puted.
 No serious offense has been charged against Mr. Wilbur. It is conceded that the secretary has been unfortunate, unlucky and frequently tactless, but the worst accusation that has been publicly made against him has been carried in the editori- al opinions of certain papers which declared him to be Incompetent" It is known that the press has never

 General Fries noted with particu- lar interest "ths recent chemical warfare developments in Russia, where that portion of the national defense has been launched on a large scale, backed by great public enthusiasm" He said that despite many disadvantages" the morale of the American chemical warfare service was excellent, but added:
 Nevertheless, without a drastic increase in appropriations, we will soon be the weakest among the half dozen most powerful nations in chemical warfare"
 Supply stocks for the service left over from the war had been reduced
 practically to nothing" General Fries asserted, adding that annual appropriations were not sufficient to replace this loss or Ito maintain the
