The court-martial of Lieutenafit Colonel Louls E. Goodier, judge advocate of the western department of the army, brought out these statistics, Colonel Goodier is charged with having improperly. advised junior officers at the school to prefer charges against Captatn Cowan. His de- fense is that he furnished only such infor- mation as would be expected from one in his position, but ihe case has developed into an alring of the general situation at San Diego, where eight l'cutenants have been killed since April 1, 1918. Whether or not an officer is entitled to aviator's pay when he is not regularly flying is a disputeq point. The charges filed against Cowan were not pressed.
