Under a shower of objections from the defense, which resulted in the production in evidence of some of the secret files of the war depurtment, the prosecution In the court martial trial of Colonel William Mitchell set out today to answer the colonel s charges of na tional incompetency in the air.

The witness conceded that there was no "satisfactory co-operation" between the army and navy aii services during the Hawaiian ma neuvers. Asked for the reason, he replied: "Tho army and navy air services had not had preliminary joint exercises. They were, as a result, not able to combine their material rod men into a smooth working machine." "How would you remedy such a situation?" he was asked. Cross-examined by defenss coun sel, General filtingo said he "doubted" If the result of the maneuvers would have been dif ferent "if there hail been a unity of air command.''

Wilby, of the prosecution presented a letter from Major General Ed ward M. Lewis, Hawaiian depart ment commander, which said that Major R. E. Goodrich was "un satisfied" as air officer in Hawaii and renuested that another be appointed to relieve him. It was lor this reason, Major Wilby Eaid that Major General C.

It is understood that tho father has not advanced one cent for expenses. Gettine Data Costlv Attorney's fees, alimony and Investigations have eaten up the young man's fortune. One of the most expensive items was the trac ing of the bride's ancestry back to England and the West Indies. An investigator was sent to Eu rope several times to gather evi dence.
