MITCHELL PERMITTED
 TOLEAVE US SERVICE
Resignation Accepted by Secretary Davis as Sub
 mitted by Colonel

Washington, Jan. 29 Pe-The resignation of Colonel William Mitchell from the army, has been accepted.
 In accordance with his expressed wishes the air service officer will be permitted to step out on Feb. l, thus automatically bringing to an end the five year suspension 10 which he was sentenced by court martial after conviction of break. ing discipline by his cri'!cLlns of the governments aviation policies.
 The decision was announced in this statement by Secretary Davis of the war departments:
 "The secretary of war has decided that the resignation of Colonel Will liam Mitchell air service, will be ac- cepted to take effect Feb. 1, 1926, The adjutant general of the army has been notified to this effect"
 Nothing beyond this brief an nouncement was made public. It was learned, however, that the ec- ceptance was unconditional and did not hinge on any formal notation that it was flor the good of the service"
 Secretary Davis feels that the fact that the resignation was offered by an officer under approved sentence for violation of the articles of war 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 resig' nation, Colonel Mitchell would make no comment. He feels he will no' ! be fully at liberty to speak for pub lication until he actually has ceas ed on next Monday to be memhe' of the military establishment.
 There is no doubt, however, tha the airman Is planning to begin i'm mediately upon his return to civilian status an active public campaign il support of his views as 10 the avia ton necessities Of the nauonal de fense. He probably will carry hi fight to the country through the me dium of lectures.
 There was no intimation as to tn nature of & talk Secretary Davis ha
 today with President Coolidge, al
 though it was obvious that the de
 cision to accept Mitchplrs resigna
 ton must have been reached at tha
 time. The announcement was mad
 immediately after the return of tn secretary to the war department. The form in which the acceptanc was put relieved the president ( any further necessity of dealing wit the case.
