It has been the policy of the office to give the patrons the approximate seating which they ask for. He can be done only if the tickets are pur-

Mitchell Puts Blame of Fliers' Deaths on Administration
Discipline Committee Seeks to Oust Colonel on Insubordination Charges
Washington, Sept. 12. -The administration succeeded today in getting the Mitchell case partly in hand. Colored Mitchell will be tried for inquoriation. The administration is seeking to avoid Mitchell's maneuvers to appear as a martyr.
San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 12—Colonel William Mitchell, air offices of the eight Corps Area, whose strong criticism of the War and Navy Departments in their handling aviation has put him in the files of the disciplinary machinery of the army, had requested that he be replaced with "Administration deficiency is causing the death of many airmen." As a result of administration inefficiency, the loss of life among fliers at present is approximately forty per cent of all deaths of the commissioned personnel of the entire army yearly." Mitchell said more appositions are considered but only 880 flying men in military service out of a total of 11,800.
"There are two airplanes in this country of a proven type about to be finished that can get about 5,000 miles in the air without taking fuel.
"Why would it not be a good idea," he said, "to fly with these overland and from New York to Peking, stopping once at Nome for fuel and themes going on to the great center of Anatolic population in from sixty to eighty miles north of Nome and railroad it takes from four to five weeks?"
Colonel Mitchell said he was greatly pleased and happy over success of the navy searcher.
