Col. Billy Mitcneli climaxed his
% years service in the Army today
by resigning.
Refusing to accept the five years
suspension from the service inn
posed upon him by the court mar
tial that convicted him of violating
army rules in his criticism OF his
superiors, the stormy petrol of the
air service took the only avenue of
escape.
He will step out on February /,
freed of the gag" imposed upon
him by his jury of generals, and
free to continue his fight for "a
greater air service.
Forecast by /. n. s.
The flying colonel's resignation,
exclusively predicted yesterday by
International News Service as forth
coming within forty-eight hours,
was sent to the Secretary Of War
and to the commanding general of
the district of Washington in one
single, cryptic sentence:
81 hereby tender my resignation
as an officer in the United States
Army to take effect February /,
1926. (signe0 William Mitchell"
That was all.
Until the resignation is accepted
by the Secretary of War and the
President, Mitchell did not feel
free" to make any statement. His
technical position is still that of an
officer undergoing punishment.
No Doubt of Acceptance
That the resignation will be
accepted there is little
doubt.
Secretary of War Davis has al
ready ? stated he would approve
Mitchelrs resignation. and Presi-
dent Coolidge's acquiescence is be-
lieved merely matter of form.
The resignation will be accepted

the workers yelled at him and threat
ened him. The officer, who made the
arrests, said he heard no disturbance
and simply made the arrest on suspi-
cion.
The men were charged with disor-
derby conduct and there was no claim
that anyone had committed any il
legal act. The court fined eight Of
the workers $40 each. 1t imposed a
sentence Of Is days ON Sam Kurland
because he had previously been con-
victed on a disorderly conduct charge
during this strike. Squire, because
he has been active in the strikers
picket squad, also was given a SEN
tence of ten days.
From the Tombs he telegraphed to
S. Mencher, chairman of the Picket
Committee: ibid you notify my par
ents? Don't appeal. It's only ten
days. Sam went to the Island. Send
