Wants Unifled Service. “We should consolldate our whole mal defense under one head and hold one man responsitle for the whole thing secretaries—one for the Army, or the land; one for the Navy, or the water, and one for our aeronautics. “Policies pertaining to our national defense should be recommended by the of national defense to the upon the advice of three ries.

All sup- plies common to the three services should be gotten by a central agency, 0 as to avold competition between the In issuin terday, Col a “construc subsecret retaries wo: different branches of the Government. | Conscription of Capital Urged. “In time of war or threatened emer gency capital should be conscripted as well as labor. All raw materials for the construction of national defense equipment should be obtained and dis It|h|4uu( under one head. According to this system, the Army organization would remain much the same as it is, except that it would be modernized. The naval organization would also have little change. Any -air service that these two departments needed would be permanently assigned to them. “The secretary of the air, however, should be intrusted with the whoje aeronautical development of the Government, which is even more im- portant in time of peace than it is in ime of war, because we can employ aviation in useful pursuit in peace, such as carrying the mail, patroling the forests, surveying the country, aiding animal industry and exploration. Three Aviation Branches. “The department of aeronautics should be divided into three principal subdivisions, one charged with the of civil aviation. Thi: should provide Jfor the airway throughout the country, the aids to air navigation and provide an efficient weather service and storm warnings; a le 1 de ment to make recom mendations about all air navigation laws, inspection of pilots and aircraft, 50 as to be sure the public is safe’ guarded when traveling or using air- craft. There should aeronautical also corpo: be formed an ation similar to our inland waterways corporation, which should operate between the | great centers of population, so as to | show what things could be carrled safely and at a profit through the air. " All figures on this should be made public, so that as soon as pos-| sible any civilian company desiring to take it over should be allowed to do so. At the present stage of the development of aeronautics the Gov- ernment must assist, as all aero- nautics is a national asset. Building by Civilians. “The second division should be a section of fabrication or construc- tion. In this department special studies should be made of the kind of aircraft that are necessary, of their airworthiness and safety. They should be made in accordance with the desires and wishes of flying men, by experts, and thoroughly tried out before being issued. No aircraft should be built by the Government. All should be built by civilian organi- zations, so as to keep up competi- tion, invention and initiative. “The third division' should be the r force, that part specifically charged with the air defense of the whole country. Provision should be made for a suitable number of well trained flying men and good airplanes to defend this country. Only a small part of the total need be kept con- stantly under arms; the rest should be working in civil life and the mechanics keeping up their work in the factories and industries which go to make up aircraft, being called out for suitable periods of training when necessary. Plan Now in Vogue. “Practically every civilized country has now adopted this sane, economical and logical system. With a plan of this kind working the question of who is to command any undertaking is ab- solutely fixed. If the predominant is to be a sea force, then the Navy ought to have command of the undertaking Under him should he three sub- | ! —In addition to consolidation of the| | defense to consist of the Secretary 1»f\ { | mei | called and the Army and air force report to it. If dt is going to be n land cam pudgn, the Army should bave charge of it and all of the elements of the Navy and air forces report to . If it is to be an air campaign, the air force should have charge and the Army and Navy report to it. The secretary of national defense could deiermine this. “With an adequate air force it is difficult to see how any hostile host can touch our sofl coming from Eu- rope or from Asia. “Due to the increased ing of modern implements of defense it Is probable that in the near future clvilized nations of the world will agree to eliminate from their national Qefense expensive elements that now enter Into it, and will confine themselves to a_defensive armament consisting of alrcraft, submarines and sufficient land forces for their needs. This is what the influence of air power is bringing about. Calls for Change. “For many vears we have had to cater to the 0ld Army and Navy sys- tem—it now should be stopped and a new one instituted. To sidestep this change proposals certainly will be made to create a special service of viation within the Army for work over land, a_spectal service of avia tion in the Navy for work over the water and a_special service of avia- tion within the Department of Com- ‘e"to handle civil aeronantics. Al- though this sounds alluring, it will be even a worse condition than obtains at present, because the old system understand- | irrangements all useless and | will still control the aviation in the Army, Navy and the Department of Commerce and will .even intrench it more strongly. This has been tried in other countries—in Epgland, for in- stance, before a modern organization was made. The Germans used to at tack London—the army air force would chase them as far as the coast, there would then be no naval air force because they were fooling around in flying boats somewhere and under an entirely separate command. The Germans, therefore, did very much as they pleased. Council to Advise President. “In addition to the department ot national defense, under one secretary, there should be a council of national defense, to consist of the Secre State, Secretary the Secretary of National Defen: ase the President desired advice on conditions relative to present or to prospective emergencies, he would instruct the Sec v of State to con vene this council and report to him the result of their deliberations. ““The Secretary of State, having together the secretary of na tienal defense and the Secretary of the Treasury, might say: ‘Gentlemen, it is probable that a certain countr; combined with others, may force us to defend ourselves within five years, Mr. Secretary of National Defense, what need in the armed forces of ation to maintain our independ- ence and institutions?” The secretary of national defense might answer, ‘T need an air force of 2,000 airplanes, a naval force of 400 vessels and an army of half a million men, the cost of which will amount to so much money, with an amount of so much cash immediately avaliable.” Means Accurate Estimate. “The Secretary of State would then ask the Secretary of the Treasury, ‘How much money have you that can be applied to this proposition, and how much need we raise by taxation at After having received the ary data from the Secretary of the Trea . the whole report could be quickly made up and given to the President and an absolutely accurate estimate of the whole situation made. “The terrible condition in our na. tional aeronautics today is not so much the result of the absolute igno- rance of individuals, because often these are selected on the principle of ving, ‘Tag; you're it. Go, play with aviation,’ when they know nothing about it and are really more to be pitied than blamed. The trouble is with the system, and we flying people tnsist that our views be known and weighed by the American public.” OWSLEY ASKS LEGION TO BACK AIR BRANCH Army and Navy Officials Are At- tacked for Recent Aviation Disasters. By the Associated Press, ELDORADO, Ark., September 9.— Alvin Owsley of Tem former na- tional commander of the American Legion, asked the legion men of Arkansas, meeting here vesterday, to pass a resolution calling Congress to enact a law creating a department of air defense and taking it out of the control of the Army and Navy. Mr. Owsley addressed a large gath- ering of legion delegates and citizens in convention. He assalled what he termed airplane grafts during the war and declared the late disasters of the Shenandoah and the Navy sea- plune PN-9, No. 1, while attempting to span the Pacific were nothing more than criminal ignorance and blunders of Army and Navy officers who never flew an nlrpla.ne.

(Continued fi question of whether my statements are authentic or not. Whenever I make a statement it is authentic. I am always willing to back every part of it. T am perfectly wiiling to in- dulge in any constructive discussion for the betterment of our aeronautics and our national defense with any agent of any department of govern- ment, or any citizen of the United States, but to discuss any question of insubordination or at this time involving the larger ques- tions, and not involving service with the troops that I am now with here at San Antonio, which is an honor. and pleasure, is entir eside the point.” MITCHELL CHARGE DENIED. Air Service Has Widest Latitude of Any Branch, Officers Say. While Col. George A. Nugent, spe- cial investigator of the War Depart- ment, was enroute today to San An- tonio to ask Col. Willlam Mitchell it he made the statement published Sun- day morning that administration of the Army and Navy air services had heen criminally negligent, department officials took occasion to deny em- phatically that “non-flying officers in the Army had sent aviators to their death The Army Air Service today enjoys more freedom and latitude in the con- Quet of its duty than any other branch of the War Department, it was de- clared. The creation of a separate corps, as advocated by Senator Bing- ham of Connecticut, could give the air service little more than it has already. As far as the department officials know, the only complaint of the flyers is for a separate promotion list. That has not been given offictal consideration as yet. Officers Deny Negligence. Although the department in its pro- ceedings against Col. Mitchell for h remarks about the conduct of the two air services will not consider their truth or falsity, officers in authority today expressed the opinion that Col Mitchel's charges were in the main directed against the Navy, as far as specific instances and illustrations were concerned. They emphasized that there is no “criminal negligence” on the part of the War Department in conducting affairs of its Air Service. because that body is allowed to work out its own probiems. The pilots are in the Alr Service and the “non-fiyers” do not profess to know anything about the details of their work because they are not train- ed along that line. The only time the War Department steps in on an Air Service activity is to consider a larze project, where more angles than ordi- nary flying are involved, it was de clared. Officers illustrated this state ment with the world flight project Maj Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Air Service, presented the plan to the department and it was approved When approval was given, the depart- ment told the Air Service to work out the problem itself. The question of pilots, ships, gasoline, supplies and other necessities for the flight was taken care of entirely by the air offi- cers. Other Charges Denied. Col. Mitchell's statement mentioned the anti-aircraft activity of the War Department and also charged that efforts were being concentrated on plans to take away the fiving pay of | air officers. The department’s answer to these two charges s that if it aid not undertake to develop anti-aircraft as a means of defense, it would be “criminally negligent.” The question of fiylng pay, it was declared, has not even been discussed with a view to a decision. From time to time there have been various proposals for in- surance plus pay or insurance in lieu of pay. The object of the increased compensation—30 per cent of the base pay—Iis to enable the fyers to make ample provision for their families in case of accident, but some offictals are not sure that the additional pay is being utilized in that manner. The anti-aircraft development work of the War Department does not meet with the approval of Col. Mitchell and the majority of air officers in both Army and Navy Alr Services. Their argument is that alrcraft is the only defense against aircraft. The row started during the aircraft investiga- tion last Winter when Brig. Gen. Hugh A.

FARMER TELLS HOW HE HALTED SHENANDOAH, HEADED FOR HOME Seized Cable on Direction on Post, Then Stump, Then Tree, Before Success. By the Associated Press. CALDWELL, Ohio A hero of the Shenandoah has been found amon; the native sons of Noble County. He is a little, grizzled farmer who raises turkeys, Zeese and some crops on a farm near Sharon. He is the man who grabbed the Navy's glant dirigible by the nose-ring and pulled it to the ground. Many o time Ernest Nichols has tethered an angered bull to a fence post, but not until last Thursday morning was he ever called upon to be tamer to a rampant dirigible. Late yesterday tales began drifting over the countryside about a man who had helped to stop the plunging the Shenandoah’s nose over hills , after it broke from the middle and aft sections an hour earlier near Ava, 12 miles away, Called “Great Service. Immediately the board of inves gation, which is handling all phas of the disaster which remain to cleared up, became interested in the | story. The board recalled Sugg tlons made by Lieut. William May and others who were in that portion of the ship that supported Nichols' story. Comdr. Jacob H. Klein, chief of the "investigating board, said, after hearing the story, that the Noble | County farmer had done “a good job and a great service.” Earnest Nichols was found md.. an obscure corner of his 3 feeding his turkeys and was ap- prised of the fact that he had done something important. “Well, sir,” he sald, “my nelghbor called up on the telephone and said an airship was headed for my house and that I had better stop it.

A “showdown” was culled and at Fort Monroe, March 6, the air planes won the argument in that test. That, in the opinion of many ardent airplane advocates, was to have set tled the problem for all time. But since then the Coast Artillery has been conducting target practice and with a certain degree of success. It will be a week or longer before Col. Nugent's return and a decis'n can be reached whether the Mitc 'l atements constitute violations of articles of war, which would war the convening of a court-martial the event a military trial is ordered, it probably will sit at San_Antonio if enough officers sentor to Col.

The further statement issued last night urging the creation of a consolidate defense department with sub-secre- tarles in charge of the Army, Nav and branches, drew no comment from department officials beyond the emphatic assertion that all Army offi- cers were free to express their sonal views on questions of this at any time. Whatever proceed against Col. Mitchell may result fr the investigation now under way be strictly to the question of whether he has been guilty of in- subordination and should be punished. The department cannot delve into the charges made against itself or the Navy, it was painted out. The range of penalties which might be inflicted on conviction runs from a loss of numbers in grade, deferring promo- tion to dismissal from the service, de- pending on the particular article found by the court to have been violated.
