GEN. MITCHELL BELIEVES AIR FORCE IS BEST r' Disputes Contention of Army and Nary Bor.rd of Ship Supremacy. FOR REORGANIZATION Rp*cl*l to Indiana Dally Tlmos and Philadelphia Pu'iilo Ledger. WASHINGTON, 6ept. 16.—Coastal and frontier defense of the United States should be placed entirely in the hands of unified air servk-e, in the opinion ot Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the Army air service, who has drawn and submitted to the War Department his conclusion drawn from the bombing tests held Jointly by the Army and Navy this summer. The report of General Mitchell, wMcb Jim not yet reached the Secretary of War, differs radically in Its conclusions with’ that of the Joint Army and Navy hoard, which was approved by John W. Weeks, Secretary of War; Gen. John. J. Pershing, Chief of Staff, and Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. General Mitchell believes In the first place that an air brigade could destroy the sea strength of the United States. If "fciven full reign. He Insists that had opportnnity been given for the Army ta ■use all of lte offensive weapons In tbe bombing tests, no one of the former German vessels would have lasted more than ten minutes. WOULD CONTROL 100 MILES OF SEA. He recommends therefore, that naval control be limited to the eons 200 miles from our coast line and that from there in to shore the tnsk of defense be left to air fighters. The Army filer once more suggests the unification of the Nation's air service and the creation of a Department of National Defense with Under-Secretaries for War, Navy and Air. It was his constant public advocacy of such a plan that caused General Mitchell to be warned by Mr. Weeks that he must no longer attempt to carry on a campaign for governmental reorganization that had not been approved by the Harding Administration. The bombing tests proved. In the opinion of General Mitchell, that aircraft can bo used effectively under all weather conditions favorable to the efficient operation of destroyers, cruisers and droadnanghta and that not as far as this phase of the problem was concerned, experimental stages in the rise ot aerial weapons had been passed. Alrplaines now be says, are offensive weapons of proven worth of the high seas and must be recognized as such in the future military progress of the Nation. Further proof of his statements General Mitchell hopes to obtain in tbe com-

When the former dreadnat ght reaches Tangier Sennd, the Army Air Service intends to turn loose upon the hulk every offensive weapon in its possession. She will be anchored in shallow water sc that operations can be continued even after she can no longer remain afloat. Bombs up to 4.000 pounds, gas and other modern destructive forces are to be used. Although Mr. Weeks had not returned from his cruise with the President, it was generally Indicated in official Army circles that General Mitchell's report probably would not subject him to further censure as it had been transmitted as offic’-l matter through military channels.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Frank D. Stalnaker. president of the Indiana National Bank, and Hilton U. Brown of the IndianapolSa News were named by Governor McCray. Elmer W. Stout, vice president of tho FletcherAmericau 'National Bank, and Wallace O. Lee of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company were appointed by the mayor. The Supreme Court of Indiana is to name two more end too six will select a seventh.

OMAHA DOING BETTER TUAN BOOSTERS SAY (Continued From Page One.) of his orders for work sLirts had been delivered. In ginghams it was the same stcry. 8o also as to slik hosiery. He received 150 pleading letters in one day from retailers for this or that item. A vacuum existed In textiles. It had to be filled. He looked for continued activity in all branches of the business. His sales today would be 25 per cent greater If he could get the goods. Mr. Rector said Omoha was becoming a very large butter center furnishing a market for farmers for five hundred miles aound. Tho present situation was excellent, the drouth in Europe, which had
shut off importations of Danish and German butters, having materially improved conditions for tbe American butter makers. Mr. Rector has nine hundred agencies and many plants. Mr. Currie declared this was the first year to bis knowledge when coal was at a lower price in September than in June or July. A change had come in the coal situation here. The smelters ordinarily consuming one hundred fifty tons of coal a day, now they use oil. The packers were using only 60 per cent of their normal quantity. In general the foregoing matches up pretty well with other cities visited. But Omaha seems to be doing better than the personal reports indicate. While thirty-fourth in population the city lately vaulted to sixteenth in bank clearings, Its foremost two Industries—lacking and smelting—are dull today, the latter dreadfully so. Improvement in eittar line would have a pronounced effect. Today tho packing plants employ 7.5C3 mem. Tho smelters have less than half the usual force. The Union Pacific shops had 1,791 men employed in January, 995 in June and have 1 192 today. With the varied changes of the last six months unemployment has remained al>’ost stationary in Omaha at a total of 5 200. JOBBING BUSINESS $456,000,000 YEARLY. The city does a Jobbing business of about $450,000,000 a year and has a manufacturing output of about $433,000,000. It goes after business as do few cities in America. It makes a good dea! of the market It commands. It has an organization called Ak-Sar-Ben, which is Nebraska spelled backward. which i* a business hustler without compare. This organization puts on a show with from 150 to 200 men once a week so good as to attract people from far and near. Roosevelt. Taft and other great men have been Invited. The club also has a carnival in the fall that Is said to boa corker. Os course Omaha merchants, retail and wholesale, are not asleep while the people flock to the carnival. But Omaha does more. It goes out In force to create

Then the merchants call on the merchants of the towns tc shake hands and exchange felicitations. No one is permitted to talk business, take an order or violate the rule of keeping the whole affair social. But—Omaha gets the bnsiness. These bands of business tourists have “covered” 125 towns In a week and made 55,000 social calls. This keeps Omaha in personal touch with the country people and promotes a friendly relation that has done wonders In Increasing Its business. SPRING AND FALL MARKET WEEK.

It is inevitable that various manufacturers now of the East will march westward sooner or later, bringing the factory nearer the source of raw material. Tanneries, shoe plants, textile mills and other departments of industry are gradually pointing westward. But fuel prices dominate in industry.
