NEW FIGHT NEAR
BY TCHELL
By WILBUR MORSE, u.


Billy" Mitchell, the man who
talked himself out Of the Army
and into the tickle imagination
of America, put moth balls in his
much decorated uniform today and
laid it away with other "souve-
Mrs" of his career.
And for the first time in
twenty-eig years, years checked
fun of adventure, the tall, thin,
brown-eyed man was preparing to
face the world as just plain evil
liam Mitchell, private citizen"
will Continue His Fight
That title was all that was left
to him, except in his household
where they still called him Cen
eral, even after he was denoted
to a colonelcy for talking too much.
Yet it was the significance Of that
title. private citizen" which
prompted Mitchell to resign from
the Air Service.
For as a private citizen, =
Mitchell declared he is going to
carry on his fight for reform In the
national defense, unconfined by milf
tary regulations, unrestricted by
any ''muzzle."
The Presidents acceptance of the
airman's resignation is expected
early today.
At Al late hour last night, follow
ing a visit of General John Hines,
chief of staff, to the White House,
the heads of the Army decided to
shoot the resignation through with
out any delay and without any stipu.
lations that the resignation was
"for the good of the service" as
it had been rumored might be
done.
The War Department apparently
is too glad to get Mitchell out Of
the Army to cause possible delay
by raising the question of whether
or not the record should show his
leaving was for the good Of the
service"
WOuldn't Take. Chance
AS matter of fact, it was
doubted whether Mitchell would
consent to resign that way, and the
department didn't want to take a
chance on that resignation being
withdrawn.
And so by nightfall it was ex-
pected that Billy Mitchell will be
officially out OF the services.
Until he receives final word that
he is out, the flyer is doing no
talking.
But at the Mitchell house it was
said that he has a number of
things in mind to do as soon as he
is a free man."
He is going on a lecture tour,
for one thing. but not under Cha
tauqua auspices as was reported
yesterday.
Mitchell is nothing if not an in
dividualist, and this talking trip
is going to be engineered solely
under his direction.
After he has had his say. Nit
cheIl intends to take his wife to
Africa to shoot game with guns
and cameras.
The baby daughter is TO be left
with Mrs. MitchelFs parents.

a rumor which reached the city

hotels and restaurants to obtain an
ample supply of anthracite. while

them at the expense of other cash

And SO the old reporter made the
rounds Of number of places and
discovered that the men who run
the kitchens of hotels have ma.

for grilling-which is the term used
for broiling these days exclusively

invaded the hotel kitchen and have
for a long time borne the burden
for the dining rooms.
A coal dealer was visited next to
discover how much coal was con-
