The brother probably also perished as he is believed to have been at the conning tower wheel ■when the ship sank. Word of finding Gibson's body came in a message from Admiral H. H. Christy, aboard the U. S. S.' Camden. It indicated to navy officers here that divers have penetrated the hull and are (searching for bodies The message said: "The first body to be taken from the battery room was identified as that of John L. Gibson, Portland, Ore. He has a wife living in NewLondon ’’ Admiral Christy, whose motto his been “save life." sent divers dow-n this morning after the derricks Century and Monarch, unable to weather the rough seas, bad been sent into Newport—the second time they had been beaten from the wreck scene. Life could not be saved on the plunge; instead, a corpse was found in the battery room. This compartment had been torn asunder by the sharp bow of the steamer City of Rome when on Friday night she was ploughing up the sound bound for Boston. A stricken wife here in New Lon-: don is the first to know the exact fate of a loved one aboard. Gibson made his home here in a 1 neat little dwelling. Gibson’s body, after being lifted out of the shell, was quickly identified. All the identifications—tags and finger prints—-were sent previously to the Camden against the time when bodies should be brought to the surface. o Factory service man here, have your Hoover Sweeper adjusted or ask to see the New: Model Hoover.—Schafer Hard-i ware. , 225t2 * o'=;.—'7. -27DR.

REV. COVERT'S FATHER IS ILL Presbyterian Pastor Called Out of City; Communion Services Postponed The communion services of the Presbyter-dn church scheduled for next Sunday morning, and the prei paratory services for Wednesday, ; have been postponed for one week, owing to the fact that the Rev. B , N. Covert, pastor, has been called to the bedside of his father, the Rev. A S. Covert, at JUason City. Hi. Rev. Covert's father is seriously ill. The regular Wednesday night prayer meeting, however, will be held tomoirow night. Rev. Covert announced this morning. He left this morning for Mason City, where he will stay until the condition of his father is improved. o COL. MITCHELL TESTIFIES TODAY (Continued from page one) one thousand bombing planes in Canada, which could harass our cities. U. S. Unprepared For Attack. "We are unprepared to meet such an attack. "The only power that could think of attacking us. of course, is Great Britain. But it could, easily enough. “To meet this we need an army on land, submarines in the sea and planes in the air. "Dirigibles capable of crossing the Atlantic and returning, with a fleet of airplanes, are possible,” Mitchell said. "We need a real air force to protect the Atlantic coast and our insular possessions. Without it, any army would be helpless. Could Attack Th*ough Alaska. "If we are required to defend ourselves against an Asiatic enemy, led by Japan, their attack line would extend all the way up to Alaska. "The Hawaiian islands are not the keys to the Pacific. An enemy could I come through Alaska by air. "Canada could set up airways all the way to Alaska so we could cooperate with her in defending the Pacific. "We should have an air base in Alaska. Conditions are feasible there. I ant quite familiar with that territory. 1 know what some enemy could do if they gained control of the air in Alaksa. "And yet here we bury our heads in the sand like ostriches against these conditions. Denounces Navy. Mitchell scathingly denounced the navy. "Don't think the navy is a means of defense today,’’ he said. "Except for feeir submarines, cruisers and smaller craft, the navy is useless as a means of defense. "It sticks to worn out theories and practices. "I have here,” Mitchell told the board at the start, "nine statements —eight of which are constructive and one of which is destructive. "1 would rather not. give the last one.” Senator Bingham, republican. Connecticut , then began questioning Mitchell. "How old are you?’’ "Forty-five.” "When did you learn to fly?"

"In 1918 at Newport News. Va.” "How much flying pay do you get?” "Seventy-five per cent. Congress authorised this as a recognition ot my service in the World War.” • "What kind of planes have you flown?” "AU there are, I believe.’’ I Criticizer The Army. Mitchell criticized the army unsparingly, after his attack on the navy. i > "Here again we run against the eye- j r tern,” he said. "The army has no air force whatever. That applies to equipment, personnel, planes and everything else. "There is no such thing as effi- , ciency in it. “We have twelve pursuit planes, 22 bombers, and the rest are 0. H. 4'c with Liberty motors that are neither . flesh, fish nor fowl. They are worn' . out and useless. "The army is nothing but a nation- . »1 constabulary. What it can do is I support the cdbstitutlon ami quell . insurrections.” Mitchell suggested that the coast artillery, including the anti-aircraft corps, should be abolished. "This branch continually asks for more money each year when its return is of little value,’’ he said. "In our navy we have one poor little collier, rated as an airplane carrier and it can’t keep up with the fleet. "If we were thrown into war tomorrow, it would take us three years to meet it. "I make this statement with my intimate knowledge of how things are done. i "All of our troubles have come ibout by virtue of the fact that the ur service is controlled by non-flying ifficers. This is true in both branches >f the servce„ They regard aviation is an auxiliary. Tfeey have no knowl?dege of what it' really is.” o ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD THIS AFTERNOON (Continued from page one) community. I Avon Burk, president of the Decatur Industrial Association, presided it the meeting. About six automo>ile loads of Decatur citizens joined the caravan as it denarted for Huntngton about 3:30 o'clock. A meeting vill be held in Huntington this evenng.

Hollington, of the Buckeye Com menial Bank; A. Booiningdale, merchant; Mayor H. L. Groves; Director of Safety, O. J. Morehead: Chief of Po'ice Frank Grant; J. F.

F Hostler, banker; John H Williamson, realtor; W E. Stevenson, oi’ producer: Lowei Hemminger, I Findlay Publishing Co.; William Brown. F ndlay Courier. ■ The Copper Corporation has a re- > pair car with the caravan to take 1 care of any tire trouble. At a meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association, held at the Industrial rooms last evening the Adams - County Organization ot' the William : Penn Highway Association was organized and officers of the new asso- > ciation were elected. The officers are: W. A. Lower, president; French 1 Quinn, Decatur, Clarence Smith,

Preble, vice-presidents; O. L. Vance,j treasurer; A. R Holthouse. secretary: The purpose of the orgauizatiou is to cooperate and work with the Findlay, Ohio, body and other simi-; lar organizations in getting the proposed highway route from Atlantic City, west across the country, pass-i Ing through Decatur and Adams county, designated as a Federal highway Decatur Endorses Flan The meet ing, presided over by Avon Burk, president of the Decatur Industrial Association, voted its approval of the proposed highway and went on record as favoring the proposed route. It was also voted that the association cooperate with the Findlay men and others in trying to secure the proposed highway. To Meet At Huntington I This afternoon a caravan of road boosters from Findlay and other points in Ohio will arrive in the city. A meeting will be held at the Industrial rooms and then the caravan, including a number of Decatur men, will proceed to Huntington where an afternoon and evening meeting will be held. At the meeting tonight, the, officers of the local road assocation and Avon Burk will represent Decatur and plans will be furthered for the securing of the William Tenn highway. I Maps and blue prints of the proposed route have been prepared by the 'Findlay organization, sponsors of the project, and Decatur. Huntington and other cities west of here are included in the plan to have the highways from the east to the west coaU designated as the William Penn highway. Following the endorsement of the p’an by the several states through which the road passes, the matter will be laid before the Federal highway commission for adoption and Although the route from Van Wert to Decatur has not yet been definitely decided upon, it is thought that the plan will include the regular Van Wert highway, entering Decatur from the east and then continuing westward over the Huntington road, passing through Preble and Magley. • Much of the proposed route, especially in the east and part of Ohio, is already improved and forms a part of the state highway systems in those' states. It is understood that the htdtunn highway commission coks with favor on the proposed plan. NOTICE—I will not be rsponsible for any bills contracted by my wife, Mrs Archie Smith.
