THE MITCHELL VERDICT

In considering the verdict of the court martial which found Col. Will liam Mitchell guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and mili- tary discipline" and sentenced him to suspension from rank and forfeit ure of pay for five years, it should be borne in mind that the truth of his statements concerning the War and Navy Departments was not really an issue before the court.
 Colonel Mitchell was tried for a vio- lation of Army regulations through his violent attacks upon his military and civil superiors It has been evil dent all along that he had to violate these regulations in most fragrant manner in order to get his views be- bore the public
 Testimony at the trial bore out the truth of many of his statements, and it is to be presumed that he knew whereof he spoke. But from military standpoint this did not justify the methods adopted by the accused
 The verdict therefore was sure to go against the accused. But the pub lie at large admire the Colonel for sacrificing his army career in order to benefit his comrades of the air.
 Echoes of the Mitchell court martial will be heard in Congress for long time to come.

MERIT IS RECOGNIZED.

Only those who have several the ties which bound them to positions held for many years, amidst loyal friends and pleasant relations with considerate employers can fully appre- ciate just what such an incident means.
 It is difficult, therefore to imagine the feelings of Engineer Ole Keller and Conductor Charles Eberly of the Broadway Limited as they started on their last run from New York to Har- risburg few days ago, to be retired after 50 years of service.
 At the Pennsylvania station, at the Manhattan transfer, at North Phila- delphia and at Harrisburg, officials of the road and fellow trainmen assem- bled to give the veterans an ovation.
 Among those who joined in the de- monstrations were Vice-President Eli sha Lee, General Superintendent A. M. Parker, and long list of railroad heads and hundreds of admiring &C., quaintances and friends. President W. W. Atterbury, who had been call ed to Washington, sent telegrams com plimenting them on their long and faithful service, and wishing them all happiness and contentment in their well-earned retirement from active duty.
 Ordinarily there is not much senti- meht mixed with the strenuous busi- ness of railroading but the foregoing illustrates the fact that merit and

LONDON, April 6.-The poison ap.
pie" scare has hit the British market
50 heavily that many of the CoVent
Garden commission merchants have
ceased handling apples from the
United States for the time being.
Since prosecutions of dealers began
here some months ago for selling ap-
pies which authorities contended had
neen sprayed with arsenic during the
growing stage as a protection against
The codling moth, London merchants
estimate that the American apple
business has fallen off from 40 to 60
per cent.
Several of the largest commission
merchants say they have stopped buy
ing apples from the United States al
together rather than take chances of
heavy fines in court and owing to the
lack Of demand.
The Wholesalers themselves. some of
whom have had scientific investiga-
tionS made, contend there is absolutely

hours Of the afternoon, the roar of
the racing motor held undisputed
sway
Drivers who got on the track pro-
nounced it in splendid condition.
There is considerable dust on the
oval, as it has been kept for several
weeks in condition for trotting. Work

il for the automobile races, and pros
poets are, according to Bill Sawyer,

tion was extended by Sawyer to the

EARLIER CLOSE
OF BIG LEAGUE
SEASONS SEEN

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-President Ban
Johnsno of the American league who
returned to Chicago today from the
five days session of the major lea
cue schedule committee in New York,
tonight said that there was still
hope of coming to an agreement on
an earlier closing date for 1926 but
believed that it will be necessary
to extend the closing time three or
four days beyond the set time of
September 26.
''Trying to get 154 games into
153 playing days is like the fellow
who tried to put on his flannel
shirt which went to the laundry
and came back several sizes smaller.
We worked hard and deliberately,
drawing up about 12 schedules be-
fore we decided to adjourn" John
son said.
Allowing for holidays dates, on
which to play double headers, and
allowing for open dates necessary
for travel, especially for the Boston
and Philadelphia clubs, where there
is no Sunday baseball, makes the
task difficult one.
