COL. MITCHELL’S CASE
In a public statement issued alter
“mature deliberation,” Colonel Will
jam Mitchell, former assistant chief
of the Army air service, declared
that the disaster to the Shenandoah
and the almost fatal experience of
those aboard the PN-9 No. 1, were
“the direct result of incompetence,
criminal negligence and almost trea
sonable administration of the nation
al defense by the War and Navy de
partments.
. Whether the strong language em
ployed by the colonel is fully justi
fied by the facts or not, the state
ment can not be ignored by the de
partments corncerned and the inevit
able has happened—facing a court
martial, which he evidently wel
comes. It is also certain that the
matter will receive attention at the
hands of Congress.
* Colonel Mitchell, being a man of
some wealth, is in a position to ride
his army commission without fear or
material consequences. He is no
doubt sincere in his belief that an
efficient air service can be secured
only by placing practical Hying of
ficers at its head, free from what he
terms “non-flying bureaucratic su
periors.”
There is a widespread belief that
the loss of life and property in both
9rmy and Navy since the war has
been excessive and that gross incom
petency or negligence, or both, exist
in these departments. If Colonel
Mitchell can point the way to a bet
terment of conditions he will have
performed a distinct public service.

Nationally Known Singer
Arrive In Seward Soon
According to advance notices re
ceived recently from Fairbanks, Miss
Sylvia Sinding, premier concert sing
er, who lias been vacationing in the
Territory, captured the hearts of the
Interior residents with her marvel
ous voice.
Donald Fairman, organist at the
Empress theater at Anchorage, is
quoted as stating Miss Sinding is un
doubtedly the most outstanding ar
tist to have ever visited Alaska, and
that in all probilities it will be many
years before the citizens of the Ter
ritory will have another opportunity
to hear such a nationally known
singer.
Miss Sinding will arrive in Sew
ard shortly, as reservations have been
made for her on the steamer Yukon
which departs October 31 from here.
BOLONEY
By E. E. KURTZ.
Two Irishmen and a Hebrew
Went on a vacation.
They took along enough supplies
To last for some duration;
But suddenly their food went short,
They found that they had only—
In the basket was an empty sack
With a little piece of Boloney.
One Irishman said as he held it up,
“There is no use of carving,
Because there isn’t half enough
To keep us all from starving;
“I’ll tell you what we all must do,”
Said the Irishman called Maloney,
“Whoever has the finest dream
Wins the piece of Boloney.”
Next morning when they all awoke.
One of them said, “I feel great,”
He said “I dreamed to heaven I went
St. Peter I met at the gate.
He asked me in to play a harp,
He knew my name was Maloney,
Now neither of you can beat my
dream
So I get the piece of Boloney.”
Pat said, “Hold on, I too did dream
To heaven I went last night—
They gave me a golden throne
That shone in splendor bright.
An angel came and carried my harp
Riding a snow-white poney—
You must admit this dream® beats
your’s,
So I get the piece of Boloney.”
The Hebrew said, “Now, boys, these
dreams
May have seemed like dreams tc
you,
But as I lay a sleeping
To me were wonderfully true—
I saw you both to heaven go,
And believe me, I was lonely!
I thought you weren’t coming back
'So I ate the piece of Boloney.”
