At the same time the de. partment will be in a position then [to reply. While Colonel Mitchell undoubted. lv will be called before the Yresi- | dent's &pectal board, it fs not likely that that board, charged as it s with general inquiry, will go into tha ! dntalls of the Shenandoah disaster to the extent that it might develop from the army officers in full detafl | his_charges. | The Shenandoah inquiry will get | under way Monday at Lakehurst. | H0ST POPULAR GIRL SOUGHT BY VETERANS New Rritatn Mise, Winner of Popa« views. larity Contest, Will Be Given Diamond Ring.
