ing the army ,aviation school at San
Diego, Cal., was not in an army aero
plane) from-December 21, tMtrtw
April 24, 1915, at which time charges
oi incompetence and favoritism were
preferred against him, according to
army records made public here today.
From July 10, 1913, to the date of
the charges he was in the air seventy
three minutes, tut in the four months
following the filing of the charges he
spent fifteen hours and seventeen
r inutes as a passenger and two hours
and thirty-five minutes as a pilot In
an army machine.
Lloutenant 'William Lay Patterson spent
fifty-four minutes In the air as a pas
senger before he began to draw aviator's
pay. the records show, and made his first
fllcht as a pilot less than a month ago

Louis E. Goodler, Judge advocate of the
western department of the army, brought

charged with having improperly- advised
junior officers at the school to prefer
charges against Captain Cowan. His de
fense is that he furnished only such infor
mation as would be expected from one

BULGARIANS OCCUPY POSITION
LONDON, Nov. 15. Diplomatic
representatives at Athens of the en
tente allies unquestionably are
greatly alarnid at hints that if tho
Franco-British troops in Serbia at
tempt to fall back toward Salonlkt
tho Greek atuhorttica may seek to
disarm them. Intimations of this na
nature have come from tho premier
and minister of finance and the as
surances from Qreek official sources
of warm friendship and benevolent
neutrality do not carry completo
conviction.
Greek military critics express their be
lief that when the railroad from Bel
grade to Sofia is In operation without
danger of attack the Austrtans and Ger
mans will leave the Macedonian cam
paign to the Bulgarians. They fall to
explain, however, how the numerically
lufertoi Bulgarian force is to make head

Franco-British allies.

"We are paaslng through a bad tin.
which probably will be worse before It 1
better, but it will be better," Mr. Church -,
111 said. "It we endure the campaign of
191( should be decided against Oermany
by its shortage ot men."
Regarding the Dardanelles, Mr. Church
ill declared that th admrial on the spot
aid they could not b taken with a rush,
but that the fortifications might be re
duced gradually by bombardment. Ad
miral Sir John Fisher, then first sea lord,
was' opposed to reduction , of Great
Britain's naval strength In horn waters,
but never criticised the method of attack
on th Dardanelles.
Mr. Churchill declared he did not re
ceive dear guidance from Admiral Fisher
before the expedition was decided upon or
th subsequent firm support whereto he
was entitled.
In making bis promised statement Mr.
Churchill dealt with episodes during hU
tenure of office as head of th admiralty
rather than with hi resignation. He
raid his letter to Premier Asqutth gave
fully and truthfully the reasons which
led him to ask for a release from the
government. These reasons did not apply
to any other member of the cabinet who
was not In th war council.

exception can b taken and wherewith
I am perfectly content." ,h continued.
Turning to th naval battle 6ft the
Chilean coast last year, in which a Brit
ish squadron was defeated by the Ger
mans, Mr. Churchill said ha had been in
full agreement with his expert advisers.
Th admiralty's dispositions of warships,
he said, were sound and wer th best
under th circumstances. Documentary
evidence would make this clear, without
detracting from the gallantry and devo
tlon of Rear Admiral Christopher Crad
ock, who lost hi Ufa when the Good
Hope want down.
Th suggestion that he bad overruled
his naval advisers and kept th old -cruisers
at sea, thus 1 causing their de
struction by a German submarine last
year, was charaoterlsed by Mr. Churchill
aa untrue. - H said H was for A. J. Bal
four, th present first lord of th admi
ralty, to determine whether th papers
should be published. H himself had no
desire to press for the publication . of
papar which snlght prejudlc officers

Regarding tb Antwerp expedition,' Mr.
Churchill said it was jiot arranged by
him, but had been planned by Field Mar
shal Kitchener and th Frenoh ' govern
ment. He was not concerned with it or
consulted until the arrangements "were
advanced a long way and until the troop
war moving or wer under orders. ' '
