docs not hold much weight in con
ference with brigadier generals
Mai kilner outlined To the com
mittee in a prepared statement, the
difference between "air service ana
"air force" In the Air Service, he
said there would be observation
n.anes schooled to operate with the
fleet for spotting and with the
ground forces, and the air officers in
this unit would live with those
branches. This, however. constitutes
only % per cent of a flying force. the
other 75 being made up of pursuit,
bombardment and attack planes,
which would operate and could be
applied independently of action with
the fleet and troops.
This situation is understood only
by airmen," Mai Kilner added THE
best means of developing and apply
ing aircraft in defense of the coun-
try, | would say. is turn it over to
the airmen. We are not getting any
where now, and if we are to get any
where, the flying men have got to
be in control"
Advocates Unified Force.
Mai Horace Hickman. the third
officer to testify at the morning ses-
sion of the boards hearing, advocated
emphatically the creation of an inde-
pendent air force.
I'VE never will get anywhere until
we have somebody charged with the
defense of the country" he declared.
The present contention is that the
air force is to protect the Army and
Navy. Only by an Independent serv-
ice can we defend the country. There
is no provision for preventing it from
air attack, and there are no facilities
for co-ordinating both"
Mai. Hickham's views on the air
force were in contrast with the opln-
ions of Maj Kilner and Maj. Royce.
who previously had told the board
they were in favor of a separate air
corps to function similar to the
Marine Corps. The three ma jors, all
of whom are graduates of West Point.
have been flying for many years, and
this experience. coupled with several
years in executive positions, is regard
ed as of much value in support of their
testimony
Mai Kilner did not adopt the view
point of many Air Service officers who
are close followers of Col. Mitchell
with respect to the Navy. I'VE make
no contentious. he declared. that we
do not need a fleet. If our fleet We're
eliminated a transoceanic enemy could
fleet conquered an opposing fleet no
danger exists. There is no plane to-
day | know of that could carry bombs
across the ocean, deliver the missiles
and return, and there is no plane that
could come over TO bomb regardless of
whether it got back"
Low Rank In High Office.
Maj. Kilner was followed on the
stand by Maj. Royce, who like Maj.
KiIner has been flying a number of
years and has flown many types of
planes. He declared specifically that
acute dissatisfaction in the Air Service
was due to the fact that officers are
holding down positions that call for
higher grades. They feel" he said.

Peeress Typist
Appears in London
And Making Good

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, September 2S.-Titled
typists have appeared in the ranks
of London's business affairs, and,
reports say, they have made good
in every respect.
The latest to take up a CONNER
cial career is Lady Constance
Howard. sister Of Lord Carlisle,
who recently entered the service of
a well known firm as stenoSrapher
and secretary to. the manager.
Lady Constance says she likes her
work Immensely, and that the task
itself is much less arduous than
the training she underwent TO make
herself an expert at shorthand and
typeWriting.
The Howards have always been
considered an interesting and un-
conventional family in English
social circles. 1t was the famous
RoSali lind, Countess of Carlisle, who,
holding temperance views, had all
the alcoholic contents of the cellars
at Castle Howard poured into the
drains.

corps area commander to make the
flight. The corps area commander
had to refer it to the adjutant gen
eral and the adjutant general sent
down to the chief of the air service,
who could either recommend or disap-
prove the project. II then was re-
turned TO the adjutant general, who
referred it 10 G-3 of the general

chief of staff and then back to the
adjutant general who transferred it
TO the corps area commander. From
the corps area commander the first
pursuit group got its authority to
make the flight three weeks after it
was requested
Another example of delays was
given by Maj. Kilner. who said one

War Department by the Air Service
for funds to finance the world flight
and the time they were made
available.

this, however, declared Maj. kilner.
1t IS the intricate system or the

Air Service was allowed to handle a
handful of his own planes this would
eliminate these circuitouS channels" :"
In answer to a specific question
from Representative Carl Vinson for
an elaboration of the ''slowness of
action" Maj. kilner said:
IF an ice jam occurred out in the
Middle West speed probably would
save village. The civilians out there
would wire the chief of air service to
dispatch a bomber and break the ice.
But he can't do anything about it. He
would have to take it up with the
general staff and probably the key
man would be away. BY the time
authority was granted the flood would
have been and gone"
Another handicap in the service
which Maj. kilner said was a cause
for much dissatisfaction concerned the
many officers of junior rank. "A

MEN OF RANK HELD
|. TO BACK RUM PLOT
British Aristocracy ImpIicat-
ed in Scheme Involving
Nine. Casares' Ship.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 2S.-Members
of the British aristocracy and well
known financiers of both England and
the Western Hemisphere were back
of the scheme TO deliver whisky in
America S rum row., from Nine.
Gloria de CasareS' much advertised
ship, the General Serrett it is now
stated in quarter which is in posi-
ton to know the facts.
Nine. Casares, divorced wife of
wealthy Argentinian and formerly a
British film actress, has announced
that she merely leased her ship to
others and had nothing to do with the
cargo or the rum-running scheme,
which came to naught recently when
a controversy arose over the payment
of the crew.
Although the General Serrett fire.
quently had been referred to as a
rum runner" it is stated that the
vessel never actually made a trip
with whisky and that this was to
have been her first.
Plans of the Backsrs.
Her highly placed hackers planned
that she sail ostensibly for Halifax
and unload her cargo outside the L.
mile limit off the American coast upon
some real rum runner. which would
pay cash and take chances on deliv-
cry of the wet goods in the United
States.
Some Of the men involved figure
in the British who's Who" and In
the social register and move in ex-
elusive circles.
The whisky now is being held in
bond here, and Nine. Casares is ne
sotiating for the sale of the ship
with which she is having further
trouble.
Troubles Accumulate.
On Saturday the schooner's water
supply gave out and she ran up the
water flag" Then the firemen sent
a delegation to the master demanding
wages which they claimed were due.
Early this morning unknown persons
broke into the ships stores. The wire
less apparatus also was damaged and
it is reported that something is the
matter with the boilers. Nine de
Casares hopes to go to New York
shortly.
