DEFIANCE
It is not to be supposed that Col
William Mitchell's denunciation of
the American army and navy depart
ments will be permitted to go un
challenged or that disciplinary meas
ures will be omitted. Indeed, Col.
.Mitchell stated his own confidence
Uhat he will be punished. Such
(sweeping charges and such vehement
language by an army official are al
jmost if not quite unprecedented, and
jit is impossible for them to be over
looked. Nevertheless the charges are be
ing investigated with impartial
thoroughness. If it is found that
they are in any large degree Jutti
fied there will be universal denuncia
tion of the policies which Mitchell
attacks. Discipline is discipline, and
the Mitchell pronouncement is ruin
ous to the morale of the navy de
partment and the war department.
For this reason something will be
done about the matter. Already
Col. Mitchell has been punished for
venturing to disagree with his su
pervisors, and many Americans be
lieve that in this disagreement Col.
Mitchell had all the best of the argu
ment. A separate department of aero
nautics that is wholly divorced from
either army or navy control seems to
meet the requirements of common
sense. No one doubts the immense
Importance of an effective air force
in the scheme of national defense,
and it stands to reason that an air
force can be made more effective by
being placed under separate control.
So far the public follows Col. Mitch
ell, and so far the public sympathizes
with Mitchell in the "controversy and
inclines to resent the punishment
which has been meted out to him.
The succession of failures, tragic
and costly, naturally tend to con
vince the people of the United States
that something is radically wrong
with the present aviation adminis
tration. Why was the near tragic
flight to Hawaii undertaken. Is Col.
Mitchell correct in his statement
that the stationing of ships at in
tervals of 200 miles was altogether
inadequate to provide for the safety
of the flyers in such an unprecedent
ed undertaking? And why was the
Shenandoah sent out through a dis
trict known to be hazardous at this
season of the year? Were fourteen
lives sacrificed because the govern
ment had taken extradordinary pre
cautions to save the priceless helium?
These are questions which cannot be
answered by the1 whitewash method.
They must be answered in a way to
satisfy the layman or aviation may
be established under a separate de
partment such as demanded by Col.
Mitchell.
Meanwhile, however, Mitchell him
self is in for a hot time. He is well
aware of the difficulties in store for
him, but he is a fighting man who is
not afraid to face the music. We
may deplore such a ghastly breach
of discipline as that of which the
colonel has been guilty, but we shall
deplore even more vehemently any
punishment which is not based on
justice or which has the slightest
aspect of vindictiveness. If Col.
Mitchell is compelled to face a court
martial the aeronautic division of
the United States army will itself be
on trial, and the verdict will mean
as much for the department of war
as it will for Mitchell himself. Of
Mitchell's earnestness there is not a
shadow of a doubt. No man invites
"martyrdom" or the loss of his chos
en life career without a sincere con
viction that he is fighting for the
right.
:o:
THE EXTRA' JOB
It is possible that in your work-a-day
life it is necessary for you to do
many things which you consider "be
neath your dignity."
Sometimes you wonder why the
boss selects you for certain menial
jobs which might be done by a cheap
er man.
At times you feel like rebelling
perhaps even quitting because you
feel that not enough value is placed
on your work.
Don't let such a foolish idea get
away with you.
If you really are a -big man, you
are big whatever you do.
If the boss pays for your service,
he knows where he needs the kind
of service you can give.
Perhaps you have worked with
men who were continually asserting
to their associates that they would
not let any boss make a "pack-horse"
out of them.
And also you have noticed that
these same men are continually out
of a job and looking for another.
Naturally a man wants to fill the
Job for which he was hired, but if
an employe is unwilling to fill an
other place in a temporary capacity,
be is not a good employe.
:o:
It will be agreed, probably, even
among those who have a right to be
a little sore at Germany, that 6he has
had troubles enough without a klan
movement.

WAR SCARS HEAL FASTER
In 1891 a monument was erected
on Martha's Vineyard, Mass., in hon
or of the Island's soldiers of the Un
ion army. According to the Boston
Transcript, the patriotic societies of
Martha's Vineyard, including the
American army of the republic as
well as the American Legion will
now affix to this monument a tablet
bearing the following inscription:
The Chase 13 Closed.
In Memory of the Restored Union
This Tablet is Dedicated
Bv Veterans of
Henry Clay Wade Post. 201, G. A. R.
In Honor of
The Confederate Soldiers
This, according to the Transcript,
is the first memorial of its kind "ever
raised in the states of the North."
It was a long time coming for the
war of secession ended sixty years
ago. The scars of war seem to heal
faster now than in former times, and
men show a much greater readiness
to forget. The World war ended

only seven years ago, and yet there
seems to be very little hard feeling
toward the Germans left in this coun
try, or even in England, though for
obvious reasons it still lingers in
France. It is a remarkable fact that
anti-southern literature was popular
in the north for a generation, where
as anti-German literature was frown
ed upon within a year of the World
war's end. The presence of a large
population of German extraction is
not by itself sufficient to account for
this marked difference.
