Gen. Johnston Blames
Poor Air Service
On Lack of Training

The army air service IL IN
state of sad deficiency" in its
number and type of planes, Major
General william H. Johnston, COM
mander Of Camp Lewis, Wash, told
the Presidents Air Board today in
a written statement. i
1.-The main trouble with the an
service of the army is lack Of joint
training between the air services
and ground troops" said General
Johnston, "and a sad deficiency in
the number and kind OF planes at
present available.
"I trust the Presidents board
will make so strong a rep6rt, con-
corning our lack Of air service, that
Congress may appropriate gener-
ously not only for the stimulation
of commercial aviation but for the
procurement in quantity OF the
kind Of planes we shall need in case
of emergency"
All proposals for a separate naval
air service were condemned by Cap
tain A. w. Marshall, one of the
navy's strategical authorities, in a
statement submitted to the board
command, such as proposed in a
separate air service, might easily
cause defeat in wartime.
ut is a fundamental principle OF
war that all efforts, whether army
or navy or aerial, must be co.ordi'
mated to achieve success" said Cap
tain Marshall Viewed in this
manner, it is impossible for any
aerial engagement at sea or against
the enemy naval forces to be with.
out it's effect on the naval cam.
paign conducted by ships.
Whatever the nature of the air
attack it must be simultaneous
with or followed up by an exer.
ton Of naval force for the COM
bined effort to have any important
effect.
ut is impossible to separate any
air attack at sea from the naval
battle or campaign as a whole.
Coordination is therefore necessary
and both forces must be com.
manded by a single head in order
to obtain the unity of effort re-
quired.
I'm order to obtain this CO
ordination and unity of effort.
more than mere understanding and
cooperation is required. Co-opera-
ton was obtained in the western
front, but absolute unity of effort
was not obtained until Marshal
Foch was assigned to supreme
command. Lack of this single con-
troll might easily be the difference
between the loss or winning Of the
war"

Children of Institutions Are
Entertained at Palace

Parentless waits Of all sizes and

from st. Joseph's Orphange, st.

from Loew's Palace Theater were
transported to and from the play

the cooperation of Melvin Sharpe,

Beatus and Walter Brownley have
been cooperating for several years
in arranging Orphan Parties and a
complete organization has been set
up so as to facilitate matters and
insure a maximum of pleasure for
the kiddies.
After receiving their boxes of
candy the orphans today we're
photographed and then marched in
a body into the theater where a
special section Of the orchestra was
reserved for them by Manager
Beatus. Once comfortably en-
sconced, the orphans and their at

are equally as great a treat, rivetted
their eyes on the screen to watch

their young lives.

new life into Bucky Harris. He
began to cheer up at once and was
in good shape on arriving here.
The Washington Griffmen were
defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates
after, apparently, showing up their
rivals. Errors of ommiSiSon and of
commission cut into the stellar
pitching of the Griffs here and
there, but the fact remains that
the Pirates showed a greater fight
ing spirit than had been expected
and were favored by several lucky
breaks" in the final game in the
mud and mist of Forbes Field.
I'D say we beat ourselves" said
Joe Harris. who led his team at
bat for the series. About every
thinking member of the team
agrees with Joe today. Not one
of them believes the Pirates a
stronger team.
Not one of them but would bet
his world series check right now
that the Griffs would win another
series of seven games, II they
could begin tomorrow.

BERLIN, Oct. 16.-Although the
allies may hail the creation Of a
zone of perpetual neutrality along
the Rhine as the greatest step to-
ward European peace in years and
possibly even more momentous than
the Versailles treaty, the German
Nationalist were inclined to view
the proceedings with pessimism
today.
The Nationalist press denounced
the allies optimism regarding the
outcome of the Locarno deliber-
atoms as a false alarm" designed
to silence German opposition to the
agreements. The newspapers warn
ed their readers against premature
illusions.
A definite agreement Is out or
the question, according to the Ger
man Nationalists' party central
organ the Kreuz Zeitung, unless
the German demands regarding the

would ever sign a guarantee OF the
eastern borders as fixed by the
