sufficiently indicates for the record
the circumstances under which Col
onel Mitchell is to be separated from
the military service.
Informed by the Associated Press
OF the decision to accept his rcsig-
nation. Colonel Mitchell would make
no comment. He feels he will not be
fully at liberty to speak for publica-
ton until he actually has ceased on
next Monday to be member of the
military establishment.
To Go on Lecture Platform
There is no doubt, however, that
the airman is planning to begin, i'm
mediately upon his return to civilian
status, an active public campaign in
support OF his views as to the avia-
tion necessities of the national de-
fense. He probably will carry his
fight to the country through the
medium Of the chautauqua circuits.
There was no intimation as to the
sature Of a talk Secretary Davis had
today with President Coolidge, al
though il was obvious that the de-
csion- to accept Mitchell's rcsigna-
tion must have been broached at that
time. The announcement was made
Immediately after the return Of the
secretary to the war department.
The form in which the acceptance
was put relieved the president of any
further necessity Of dealing formally
with the ease.
