Defense Counsel Painleve Accepts Offer of President to Select New, French Officials WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.--(By Associated Press.) -An army gen eral court martial assembled to day in an old building near the capital to try Colonel William Mitchell on charges drawn up by the war department, specifying violation of the 96th". article of war on eight counts based on lan guage he used in public statements criticizing administration of the army and navy air services'. The regular court martial pro cedure was dispensed with in or der to allow Cel. Mitchell to plead In advance of the presentation by the trial judge, advocate of the charges and specifications drafted by the war department citing vio lation of the 96 tb article of war. Representative Frank Reid., Ill inois, counsel for Colonel Mitch ell, challenged the right of the court to try the air service officer, asserting his client had not violat ed the articles of war or other statutes and for that reason .wan not subject to trial by court mar tial. When the court filed into the quarters assigned to it, there were 13 members presen all selected by Secretary Dwight Davis. Within the hour three had boen ousted, one by request and two by decision of their colleagues. Behind the retirement of the three" and re- sponsible for the upset, were the i carefully laid plans of the defend- j ant ajid his counsel. ' The retirement of the three court members which included its president, Major General Charles P. Summerail, automatically plac ed Major General Robert L. Howze, commander of the fifth corps area, Columbus, Ohio, in the president's chair as successor to General Summerail. No action was taken on the challenge to the court and little was accomplished at its forenoon session. Mr. Reid read the text o fColonel Mitch ell's San Antonio statements into the record and Lieutenant Colonel JosephJUMcMullan assistant trial judge advocate, had started read ing the war department's specifi cations tof charges when a recess was taken until 2 o'clock.

PARIS, Oct. 28. (By Associ ated Press.) M. Painleve, after conferring-with M Herriot and M. liriand, accepted the mission to form a new government tendered him by President Doumergue this afternoon. The new cabinet, ac cording to present indications, will have M. Briand as minister of foreign affairs and M. Louchenr as minister of finance, with the premier remaining at the war of fice. The new ministry will be composed to conform to the reso lution adopted by the radical con vention at Nice in favor of a capi tal levy and to a resolution by the groups of the left today, de manding the return to power of several members of Former Pre mier Herriot's cabinet. Camille Chautemps, former min ister of the interior, and Edouard Dailadier, former minister of col onies, are regarded as certain to come back. In view of M. Painleve's con cessions to the groups of the left, his success in forming a new cab inet is regarded as assured, al though the life of such a cabinet formed to put through the capital levy, is considered precarious. So cialist support of the new gov ernment depends upon the early introduction of such a measure. The radical party, however, is split on the question. A canvass of the group by parliamentary specialists indicated that at least 30 of its members are opposed ab solutely to a levy on capital. Such a defection from a coalition from the left in the chamber would make the government majority too scanty for certain success. A sim ilar canvass of the senate showed an overwhelming majority against the measure, which the socialists and extreme radicals insist upon and which is the price of their support of M. Painleve's second government. President Doumergue was today warned by at least- three of the men he consulted that the neces- Practically all of the boys who joined the reorganized Friars' club at the local high school and were suspended for the act, have signed j the pledge to withdraw from the organization, and it is expected that they will be back in school today. A pledge was prepared for them and they were told that if they would sign they would be al lowed to return to school. In signing the boys agree to withdraw from the Frairs club a id to make "no further effort to organize this or any similar club, without first having obtained the sanction of the 9chool authori ties." They also state in the pledge that they did not intend to 4efy the school board, but "were act ing under legal advice that ;the proposed club was not in violation ct the rule." The pledges were also signed the parents of the boys in qaes- of the hind tfon. Cecil Edwards, presien the student body, was one of boys to join the Friars' club, was suspended. He has agiieed with them, however, to sign the pledge, and will be reinstated soon. by DIVORCE EVIL FLAYED ENGLISH CANON GIVES VIEWS ON AMERICAN SOCIETY LEROY.

William Hartley Carnegie, canon or West minster, was quoted by the Eve ning News today as declaring "the cancer in the life of America is divorce," and with all seriousness. that "America is degenerating from a human society into a mon key house." This evening Canon Carnegie was found at the canon's residence behind Westminster ab bey in high dungeon at what he called "theoutrageous language" attributed to him by the Evening News. He had recently returned from the United States and- had made a survey of the conditions there, but he emphatically denied using the extravagant phraseology in the published interview. "What I did say," he informed the correspondent of the Associat ed Press, "was that the best peo ple in America are becoming very anxious at the frequency of di vorces on the flimsiest pretext in certain states and that they recog nized that if this tendency became prevalent it would menace the stability of society inasmuch as the family is the basis of the social structure, and undermining it in this way involves great risks, as the history of the Roman empire shows. "If in any society the marriage relations are permitted to become increasingly loosened, it wauld ultimately reduce that society to the level of a monkey house.' Optimistic predictions for a fruitful year of YMCA work were exprtssed generally by those pres ent at the annual meeting and banquet of the Salem YMCA last night. L. E. Goodwin, acting ftate secretary for the YMCA, and nr. Charles E. Ward, pastor of the First Congregational church, were the principal speakers of the evening.

Speaking in the Scala opera house, which was filled to capacity by fascists who had been celebrating the third anniversary of the historic march into Rome, Mussolini asserted that the power which had been seized by the bloodless revolution three years ago would remain in his hands or the hands of his followers. It was the Mussolini of three years ago in fascism's early triumphs, with the -fire of convic tion lighting up his face, still pallid from previous illness, who) confronted the wildly enthusiastic audience with the first definite proclamation of facisms' complete rejection of parliamentarism. p Not only did the premier assert fascisms' intention to hold by force Its conquest, but, in an earl ier speech in the afternoon, he de clared war against its foreign enemies. This statement was made when he was standing in an automobile stranded, amidst the fascists fill ing Cathedral Square. He declared that fascism would "vanish ln- ternational plutocracy and deraag ogism warring against Italy's in terests as it crushed its internal enemies." "Fascism," he cried, "has now broken down all the dykes and overcome all obstacles and is marching toward its lofty goal." To his Scala audience, Mussolini said with deliberate emphasis: "This regime cannot be over thrown except by force. Our op ponents believe themselves able to r-verthijow us with little groupings of lobbyists with little rivers of more or less dirty ink. But they are fooling themselves. Ministries pass, but a regime born of revclu lion realizes all its conquests.' The premier prefaced his speech with the admission that fascism had imposed a rigid discipline upon the natiOE, maintaining that only this enabled fascism to carry cut its work.
