1. Contract provides that cables

lower than required, we would make

tractor to replace with deeper

the City be credited with the dif-
ference between the cost of six-
inch trenches and the shallower-
trenches which have been utilized.
2. We regard as unsatisfactory the
method which contractor has employ-
ed in replacing pavements and would

A. That. contractor be requir^L

Washington. Sept. 16.—(United
Press)—If charges of inadequate avi-
ation equipment are hurled in Presi-
dent Coolidge’s aircraft inquiry, the
war department will blame the presi-
dent himself and the director of the
budget for any shortcomings, it was
unofficially said at the war depart-
ment today.
A high official referred to
charges of Col. Mitchell as
ings.”
In disclaiming responsibility for
any possible lack of equipment that
may be found, it was emphasized that
the war department has annually
asked for more ap|>ropriations for
air service, and in each instance the
budgets have been cut.

Washington, Sept. 16. (United
Press)—The War and Navy depart-
ments mobilized today for the battle
of facts and figures before the air-
craft investigating Iioard. which holds
its initial conference with President
Coolidge tomorrow.
Officials, on the eve of the con-
flict, are confident of favorable re-
sults. They understand . that the
board will put the burden of proof
on critics of the administration's air
policy, rather than proceed on the
assumption that changes are needed.
Acting Secretary of War Duvis in-
dicated that papers in the contem-
plated Mitchell court martial case
would be ready in a few days.
From some source department
chiefs have gained the impression that
specific charges, made by Col. Mitch-
ell and others of alleged negligence
as a cause of the Shenandoah disas-
ter and temporary loss of the plane
PN-9-1, will be ignored by the Pres-
ident’s board. | *► M
On the assumption that the board
inquiry will be devoted to general
policies, the departments are collect-
ing data from their previous aircraft
investigations, aimed to justify the
following present policies:
1. Opposition to a unified sepa-
rate air service and department, pro-
posed by Mitchell, on the ground that
it would increase expense, disrupt
unity of military command and that
it has not been a success in Great
Britain.
2. Continued expenditure of
aiderable sums on experimentation,
instead of building a large number
of planes which will be antiquated
before the next war.
3. Major reliance upon planes, un-
til dirigibles have been developed
commercially to greater perfection.
4. Opposition to larger aircraft
appropriations to the expense of the
surface naval fleets and army ground
forces, but insistence that more
money is needed for the air force aa
well as other services to maintain
adequate national defense.
5. Dependence of military air-
plane preparedness oa government co-
t operation in commercial aircraft de-

Appeal To Be Based
On French Efforts in
Behalf of U. S.
Washington, Sept. 16.—(Associated
Presis)—France’s war debt to the
United States must be settled with-
out any reference whatever to the
terms of agreement that nation may
have reached with Great Britain, it
was asserted today by Senator
Smoot, Republican, Utah, member of
the American debt commission.
The Utah senator’s position made
known |n a formal statement was
issued <‘<>incident with a visit to the
White House by Chairman Borah of
the teiiate foreign relations commit-
tee who’ protested against more len-
ient terms for France than were given
Great Britain by the United States.
Senator Smoot issued his state-
ment qri arriving here to attend the
meeting of the French and American
funding bodies while Senator Borah
took the occasion of his first meet-
ing Ini several months with Presi-
dent Coolidge to voice his view with
the added remark that he would have
soinel ’
when ijongress meets.
With the British debt arrangement I
in mind, the delegates will strive for
easy terms with America. Caillaux
has made it clear, however, that hr
seeks t<| retain American friendship
and realises that good financial stand
ing is ail essential groundwork for in-
ternational friendship.
With the delegation goes the hearty
wish of France that America wii’
write off in its settlement something
for the sacrifice in blood France made
during the war. This was the wisl
strikingly voiced by a delegation of
French veterun* who appeared yes-
terday at the American embassy an:?
dramatically appealed that America
should recall the harvest deaths reap-
ed on French battlefields.
A little casket containing a wooden'
war mitdal. a history of the U. S
war of independence and other relics
were left for transmission to Sena-
tor Borah in the hope that it would
lie an aid to bring back memories of
French assistance to America.

The Commerce Department wil’
also submit a large mass of data on
commercial aviation possibilities
which it has gathered in a survey of
this field in recent years.
Criticism of Howard E. Coffin
president of the National Ah- Trans-

ber, because of his alleged implica
tion in discredited aviation affairt
during the world war, was discredit
ed today by persons close to the
president.
Other charges that the board if
too conservative and prejudiced ir
favor of present policies were said t<
be unimportant compared with the
widespread satisfaction over the pres-
ident’s choice of the nine board mem-
bers.
