He tried out the giant Barling bomb: Many of the army's world rec ords were made him. Lieutenant George E. Hodge, an administrative expert, a notable rand former aide at the White House.

Schauffler and Captain Ray Brooks, war d. W. Maynard, the fa - ing parson,” wi shortly before he was ‘killed. Lieutenant C. C. Moseley, the first winner of the Pulitzer cup, is on a year's leave and expected to resign at its close. Other illustrious aviators are mentioned in reports of in- tended resignations. Each of these flyers who leaves represents a loss to the goveramonrt. at actual replacement cost, of from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Morale Shattered Why are they leaving? The an- swer seems to be that morale has been sapped and hope destroyed by conditions in the service. Some are dissatisfied over the Mitchell case, but the discontent is more direct and personal. This an- swer comes not only from avowed critics of the administration ut from the flyers themselves. “If conditions were right, most of them would stay enthusiastical regardless of low army pay and cor mercial opportunities outside,” s Representative Frank R. Reid fer Colonel William court martial. Representative F. H. LaGuar himself a flying major on the Ita front, agrees with him. “Aviators are different from other men,” he says. “They are different in nerves and temperament, and it is a mistake to try to force them into the same mold. In flying they must keep track of three dimensions at once, while most of us have a hard time holding our heads in two. Yet the present system treats all officers alike. It i: n_ impossible attempt. Alexander M. Fisher, chief investi. gator for the Lampert committec.| which a year ago made an exhaus- tive study of the air service, says: “Slow promotion is one great trouble. “The air serv with the artillery, the infantry, the quartermaster corps and all the other branches. “The flyer must wait in line for his turn, and when a flyer is killed the vacancy he creates gives an ud- vancement to all those of every branch behind him. “Phe flyer’s life expectancy on an insurance rating is only 12 years The average first lieutenant pilot w be twice before he gets to be a captain under the present system. The air service repeatedly has recom: mended a separate promotion list for its officers, but it gets nowhere. $100,000 Apiece “Not only because of his risks but because of what he represents in per- sonality, training and investment by the government, the air pilot has a right to feel entitled to considera- tion. It costs at’ least $100,000 or more to train a pilot. This repre- sents upkeep of fields and instruc- tion staff, salary, wear on material ‘and smashed up planes “The stars in the service. Captain Lowell Smith of the world flight, for instance, easily represent an invest- ment of more than $1,000,000. It would take about that much, in addi- tion to time amd risk, to train an- other to take his place. “One critic of Colonel Mitchell said +| the crown a: is on the same list) Fi Latest Photo of Browning and His Cinderella Bride This p “Peache Browning, 8 en stepped from a New Yor on Mrs « face, hidin, who thr Daughter Is Born to the Duke and Duchess of York} eg A Duke| proud April 21.- (®) of York « thy is the Duchess. the second Queen Mary formerly Lady little | s in} | | Browning, 61, and France: -old Cinderella bride, hotel.
