neral, the new chief of staff, is under
stood to favor the dressier uniform.
Unless serious opposition rises IN
unexpected quarters, it is believed
that the blue uniform will be made
optional for while very shortly and
later will become mandatory. Recon-
mendations have been drawn up al
ready for an appropriation sufficient
to reclothe the Army and will be sub
mitted to the Seventeen Congress next
December
The only reason the blue dress uni
form was not returned several years
ago, it is said. was the opposition of
the Organized Reserves and National
Guard units. whose officers would be
obliged to spend $500 for new outfits.
1t was pointed out. however, that both
the Navy and Marine Corps have dress
uniforms and that the Army suffers
in appearance by comparison.

GERMAN TRAIN SERVICE
SUBJECT OF CRITICISM
Better Accommodations Promised

Following Protests.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, February 2S.-An effort
to speed UP German train service. es-
pecially on the international lines. has
been promised by the federal railway

tina prior to Sunday demonstrated
wildly the lack of friendship in which
the United States is held here, largely
as the result OF anti-American propa-
ganda, following Intervention in Mica

Then came the terrible tragedy re-
sulting in the death of Capt. Clinton
Woolsey and Lieut.. John Il. Benton.
the American goodwill flyers. Now
all the poetic instincts of the Latin
temperament have been poured into
the newspaper accounts or that
tragedy. The public is honoring the
dead but that does not alter the fact
that the flyers were not welcome, and
even the usual Latin instinct OF
courtesy was not strong enough to
they represented.
Belittled i'm Press.
No other official mission arriving
in Argentina in the last Is years was
SO disparagingly received at first as
that of the Pan-American flyers. For
weeks the. newspapers had belittled
them, calling them spies Of American
Imperialism and agents of the Wall
Street octopus. On the day of their
arrival the newspapers said that nc
one was interested in the coming OF
these representatives of the proud
mperialistic northern republic.
For several days, Buenos Aires had
been a bedlam of bombs, sirens and
bells, every few hours OF the day and
night, announcing the departure and
arrival of three other flights. but no
bomb exploded. no siren blew and no
bell rang as the four American planes
scared majestically over Buenos
Aires.
They arrived amid the silence of
disparagement. The public ignored
them and did not even go to the port
TO watch their arrival. No plane
flew out to meet them and escort
them to Argentina capital and the
official party was the smallest pos
sible.

DALE PLEA REINSTATED.
Supreme Court to Pass on Contempt
Sentence to Editor.

By the Associated Press.
The appeal of George r. Dale, the
Muncie, Ind, editor, under sentence
Of contempt by a State court, was
reinstated today by the Supreme
Court.
: Dale has long been in conflict with
Judge Clarence w. Dearth of the
Delaware County Circuit Court.
Articles published by Dale in his
newspaper brought a judgment for
contempt against him, and the judg-
ment was upheld by the Indiana
Supreme Court. Dale appealed to the
Supreme Court here, but the appeal
was dismissed on the ground that he
had not furnished funds for printing
thearecord of the case. Todays de-
cision brings the question again before
the court.

whom they gave two contributions of
1000 each.
Mr.. lnsull has insisted that these
contributions had nothing to do with
the senatorial primaries. For that
reason. they contend, the Senate com
mite has no right to inquire to whom
the money went.
Mr.. Cunningham has taken the posi-
ton that the Senate committee has no
right to inquire into primary elec.
ton in a State.
After spreading on the records all
the facts in connection with the
declination of the recaIcitrant wit
nesseS to testify. the committee said
in its report today;
your committee has perhaps eX-
ceeded the limit of forbearance in its
method of procedure. but it is of the
opinion that the Senate's power to
punish for contempt should be in
voked only in extreme cases and after
every indulgence and recourse of a
committee of the Senate has been eX-
hauSted.
Considerable Debate Likely.
Wherefore your committee reports
further a continued obduracy of the

Schuyler, and recommends that they
be adjudged in contempt of your com
mittee, and the Senate of the United
States.
The witness Cunningham refused
to amplify his testimony in any par
ticuiar, stood on his previous refusals
to answer the interrOgators propound-
ed to him and defied the jurisdiction
of your committee.
Your committee therefore reports
a defiant and contumacious conduct
of the said witness. Thomas w. Gun.
ninSham, and recommends that he he
adJudged in contempt of your commit
tee and of the Senate of the United
States"
The introduction Of the resolution re-
guessing that these recalcitrant wit
nesses he punished for contempt may
lead to considerable debate.> There are
members of the Senate who believe
not only that the Senate has exceeded
its authority in requiring witnesses to
testify regarding contributions which
they say were made to campaigns for
local State officers, but also in seek.
ing to investigate a senatorial primary
election, which they hold a matter for
the States.

by the death of Capt. Clinton F.

two of it's members. was cabled yester-
day to Maj. Herbert A. Dargue, in
command, by f. Trubee Dawson. AS.
sistant Secretary of War for Aviation.
Details of reorganiZing the flight,
which now has two planes and six
pilots on the Atlantic Coast and one
plane and two airmen on the Pacific
Coast of South America, have been
left to Maj. Dargue, who will replace
one OF the pilots and fly one of the
amphibians home. Two of the pilots
will be withdrawn from the fight and
sent to Panama, Mr.. Dawson said.
Story of Crash Received.
The story of the collision and crash.
which destroyed the New York and
Detroit. was received by the War
Department yesterday from Maj. Oar
que, who corrected earlier unofficial
reports that Woolsey and Benton
sought to use their parachutes.
Incorporated in n War Department
statement, the story said that Mai.
Dargue and Lieut.. Ennis G. White
head, assistant pilot of the New York
jumped from their plane, their para
they landed safely. II is certain that
neither Capt. Woolsey nor Lieut..
BENTON attempted to use their para
chutes.''

uon." the statement continued, zone
leading, enc to the right, one to the

behind and above. the fourth plane

Maj. Dargue in the front plane gave
the agreed signal to break formation
and land. This was understood. The
planes behind and to his right and
left obeyed, one turning out to the
right, the Detroit to the left.
View Obstructed by Hull.
Tn this maneuver the hull of
Capt. Woolsey'S plane evidently hid
from him the plane New York, which
was at a slightly lower altitude, and
turning TO the right as he started
his glide to land, the nose of his
plane struck the New York The
planes, each travelling at least 100
miles an hour, locked together and
were out of control.
The shock of the collision evidently
stunned Capt Woolsey, who did not
leave the plane. Lieut.. Benton. the
other occupant of Capt Woolsey's
plane, may likewise have been thus
incapacitated, as he made no effort
TO leave the plane. but was thrown
from 1t just before it hit the ground. -
