Secretary Davis Orders Air

been ordered by Secretary Davis of
the war department. The secretary
wants to know whether air service
officers still are employing disloyal
methods In carrying forward the agi-
tation for separate air corps To
establish the facts, two separate in
quiries have been ordered by the Sec
rotary. One phase has been placed in
the hands of Major General Eli A.
Helmick, inspector general of the
army. Another has been entrusted to
Major General Mason NJ Patrick, chief
of the air service Whether disciplin-
airy action will be taken by the war
secretary. depends upon the nature and
completeness Of the information col
lected. 1t is conceded to be within
the realm Of possibilities that a gen.
eral shakeup of air service personnel,
including court-martial proceedings
similar to those which preceded the
exit of Colonel William Mitchell from
the army, will follow.

WASHINGTON LETTER


{ 8 8
The country should be CRATE
full for the delay for a statistical
study shows that $4,000 bills
have already been introduced in
Congress. According to critic
in the Lower House, the Senate
has acted on only three import
ant measures, while the House
has passed more than a score.
Those who have followed the
sensational Mitchell trial are en-
joying quiet laugh at recent
developments. Having been
shorn of his military title, Mis-
ter Mitchell is on a lecture tour
of the country. Like other
good publicists, Mister Mitchell
is capitalizing on the recent in
quiry by Congress. The admis-
sion charge to his lectures is suf-
ficient to insure him an income
for each talk far in excess of
his yearly salary as an Army Of
ficer. Undoubtedly the cham
pion of more publicity for avia-
ton will be increasing his space
rates for articles in publications.
Somehow the feeling exists in
Washington, even among the
friends of Mister Mitchell, that
having lost the glamor of mar
tyrdom, interest in his activities
will diminish. He is now in a
position to enjoy the liberty of
speech with the constitutional
guaranty of every other Ameri-
can citizen. 1t was his defiance
of military restriction tn at
brought the spotlight upon him.
