WASHINGTON, Oct. t. Colonel

office of the war
department, where disciplinary pro
ceed! nju against him are under

The case at this stage la In the
hands of Colonel George A. Nugent
ot the inspector-general's office
and the purpose was to furnish the
Colonel with copies of proposed
. chargea growing out ot his Saa An
tonio statements which precipitat
ed the present aviation inquiry.
Before any chargea are made
against Colonel Mitchell he will be
given an opportunity to make any
reply he desires. Colonel Nugent'a
recommendations as to further pro
ceedlngs.wlll be made after he had
considered the reply,
Any court martial would alt in
Washington and indications are
Major-General Summerall, com
manding the second corps area.
New York, would be president of
the court. At least one air service
officer senior to Colonel Mitchell
Is expectedto be a member ot the
court and Colonel C. O. Hall, army
-iLohnrvir on the aavy airship Shen
andoah at the tlmeaof the disaster
to that craft, appears to be a like
ly selection. Tbe only other offi
cers of the air service senior to
Colonel Mitchell are MaJorGenera)
, Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air
service, and Brigadier-General Jas.
Fechet, Colonel Mitchell's succes
sor as assistant chief.
Colonel Mitchell spent about 20
- minutes tn Colonel Nugent's office
and waved aside questioners when
he came out.
"I hatVn't a thing to say," he
said. "Ask them.", '
He went to the office of the
Judge advocate general before he
left the building.
Formal action to convene a
court martial will it be taken be
fore next week as Secretary Davis
will be away this week on an Ohio
river Inspection trip.
Colonel Mitchell later went to
the capltol, where he announced
that court martial proceedings
were Initiated. Representative
Frank Reid, of Illinois, would head
his civilian defense counsel. Mr.
Reid waa a member of the house
aircraft committee of the last con
gress.. Colonel H. A. White, of the army
Judge advocate general staff, Col
onel Mitchell said, probably would
' bead the military counsel. The Col
onel took occasion to-reiterate that
the fight for a department ot na
tional defense had "just begun."
Mitchell Again Refuted.

scenes and an enthusiasm unabat

peace time pursuits, marked the
formal opening here today or the
seventh annual convention a the

An all-night celebration marked
the welcoming new arrivals on
special trains from mldniajit to

lowing bands, and fife and drum
corps .and flaying of old army
games.
Before the gavel of National
Commander James A. Drain fell
the vast city auditorium resounded
with music and all the songs and

An air only ot goodfellows glad
to be together again prevail as
the gavel fell on a. giant gong
which called the convention to or

of the seriousness of business later
to come before the convention. .
"Men. Aot property, should be
the nation's first concern after the
war." Governor Adam McMullen of
Nebraska told the convention. ,
"Every citizen should consider It

The question, what will the

of Inefficiency In the navvT is the
liveliest topic of political conver

No definite announcement on the
pitching assignment for Pittsburgh
in the first game has been made
by Manager McKechnle. In the
opinion ot sport writers, however,
Lee Meadows, spectacular mound
artist, who came to the Buccaneers
from the Phillies in 1923, will be
the selection to oppose Walter
Johnson, veteran standby of the
youthful Bucky Harris, and the
pitching hero of last year's series.
It Is considered likely that Vic
Aldrldge, who was obtained from
the Chicago Cubs last winter by
trade and a holdout during the
spring training season, will be the
Pirate chief's choice for the aecond
game, with Ray Kreraer slated for
duty on the third day of the big
