SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 2C.—Letters
purporting to show that there was an
understanding between Captain Ar-
thur 8. Cowan, commanding the avia-
tion school near San Diego, Cal., and
Col. Samuel Reber, head of the avia-
tion section at Washington, regarding
the promotion of certain officers of
the aviation corps, were introduced at
today's hearing of the court martial of
Lieut. Col. I^ewi.i E. Goodier, judge
advocate of the western department of
the United States army.
Colonel Goodler is accused of having
improperly advised young officers to
prefer charges against their superior
officers. Lieutenant T. F. Dodd, one
of the San Diego army aviators, who
preferred charges against Captain
Cowan previously, testified that the
school commander was incompetent.
Captain Cowan spent the entire day
on the stand, having been called by
the prosecution.
In a letter written July 21, 1914, by
Col. Reber to Captain Cowan the com-
mander was urged to have certain avi-
ators qualify as soon as possible to
fly so they would be eligible to "fly-
ing pay."
"All you have to do." the letter
read, "is to sit tight and draw your
pay."
Another letter showed that Lieut.
William L. Patterson had been recom-
mended as a junior military aviator
early in 1914 and received his ap-
pointment soon afterward although tip
to that time he had never made a
flight alone. Also that he had been
drawing nearly $400 a month since
September of last year as extra pay.
Asked by counsel for the defense how
long Lient. Patterson now had been
flying alone, Captain Cowan answered
that it was about a month
A letter written last January hy Col.
Reber to Captain Cowan was intro-
duced in which Col. Reber stated thit
Lieut. Patterson's name never ap-
peared on the weekly flight reporls.
"I am afraid," the letter said, "some
day some one is going to question as
to how he qualified as an aviator."
Col. Reber wrote Captain Cowan
In December laBt saying: "It is rather
embarrassing to me because Patter-
son has not spent an hour in the air.
Nobody has noticed it yet and no ques-
tions have been asked."
May 14 of this year, In a letter to
Captain Cowan Col. Reber wrote with
reference to the charges against
Captain Cowan that "ail you have to
do Is to keep quiet. 1 think I'll get
one or two scalps before I get through
with this. Let me handle this matter
alone."
In responre to a question by Captain
Allen J. Greer, of counsel for the de-
fendant, Captain Cowan said Lieut.
Patterson had spent but fifty-four
minutes in the air at the time he qual-
ified as a junior military aviator.
Captain Cowan said his first actual
flight alone was in July, 1913. This
was a straightaway flight, taking him,
he said, only about eighty feet in the
air. About the middle of August, he
said, he made another flight, this in a
hydro-aeroplane. Since then Captain
Cowan said, he had made five or six
flights, or more, alone.
DEADLY ZEPPELIN BOMBS.
MIhoHcs Dropped From Aircraft Ex.
plotle WUh Terrific Effect.
London, Oct. 15.—(By Mail.)—Sur-I
geons in English hospitals, who have j
attended victims of Zeppelin raids,
give remarkable facts regarding the
work of bombs launched from air-
craft.
Missiles dropped from a height of
a mile or two gain such momentum
that they do great damage by their
disturbance of the air. Some have
been killed by the shock of explosions
without sustaining wounds. Persons
have lost legs and arms from the
same cause.
A large proportion of those Killed
in the streets came to their death from
broken glass.
Turkish Transport Sunk.
Athens, via Paris, Oct. 26.—A Brit-
ish submarine on Sunday sank the
Turkish transport Carmen, laden with
munitions, in the Sea of Marmora.
The Austrian steamer Carmen of 4,-
4 24 tons, was tied tip at Constantino-
ple at the beginning of the war. It Is
probable that It was this steamer con-
verted into a Turkish transport that*'
the submarine sent to the bottom. She
was built at Sunderland in 1911.
FORTUNES OF WAR NOW
FAVOR CENTRAL POWERS
(Continued Fron» Page One.)
said, was unpreparedness and inde-
cision.
The Marquis of Lansdowne explain-
ed that there were moments when it
was not In the public Interests that
questions relating to the war should
be freely discussed in parliament. He
declared, however, that he could as-
sure Earl Loreburn that neither in
the present government nor in any
government of which he had been a
member, had It been the practice or
habit of amateur strategists to Impose
their plans upon the professional ad-
visers of the government
Earl Kitchener, minister of war, he
continued, was present at every cabi-
net meeting and it was impossible to
suppose that h« would allow himself
to" be deflected from his course by the
pressure of his civilian colleagues.
The Salonlkl Expedition.
Apart from that the speaker added,
the procedure by the committees and
the councils had given a far greater
opportunity to the military and naval
experts to assert themselves and make
their views known.
The cabinet as a whole considered
the naval and militar/ and political
aspects of the case, so the mlhlsters
and their advisers took account of
both sides of the problem but what-
ever particular views were given by
the military and naval advisers the
ultimate responsibility for a decision
on them must rest on the government.
As to the Salnnlki expedition, the
Marquis said:
"I cannot enter into the apprehen-
sions which possess Earl Loreburn.
I can quite understand, having be-
fore him our commitment in the wes-
tern theatre of the war, the position
in which we find ourselves on the Gal-
lipoli peninsula and our interests in
Egypt and the other possessions of the
empire which should be borne in
mind, it is profoundly distasteful to
him that the matter should be com-
plicated by our entering into new en-
tanglements in the new sphere of
war."
"I did not say that," Earl Loreburn
said. "What I asked was if you had
naval and military opinion to justify
you in your decision."
"I quite understand," Lansdowne
replied, "that Earl Loreburn should
dislike the idea of what might be
described as this further advance on
our part when we are making so many-
efforts in different parts of the
world."
"Under what circumstances has a
British force been sent to Saloniki?"
"I should like to recall the position
in the month of September. The cen-
tral powers had made no progress in
the western theatre for a long time.
They had been attacked successfully
and pushed back at several points.
On the Rusian front their advance,
overwhelming at first, had received
the serious check. Italians were
pressing their offensive and in the
minor theatres of the war—Mesopo-
tamia for example—success was rent-
ing with our arms. That being the
situation the central powers very nat-
urally looked about to discover some
new direction in which to seek for a
decision satisfactory to themselves.
Their choice fell on a great attempt to
make good in southwestern Europe
and through Bulgaria to threaten our
forces in Gallipoli and Constantinople
and perhaps Egypt, to say nothing of
the vaster aspirations which peihaj s
lay behind.
Tribute to Semis.
"That project became doubly at-
tractive from the moment when most
unfortunately Bulgaria threw her In-
fluence on their side. There wag one
obstacle and only one, to that project.
"The key to the situation lay in
the eastern corner of Servia. We
found Servia threatened by a formid-
able concentration of troops and I
ennnot help here paying tribute to the
wonderful gallantry with which Servia

Withstood two separate invasions and
her struggle against a third.
"Under these circumstances Servia
made a direct appeal to us for help.
But it was not only Servia that in-
voked our co-operation. Servia was
bound to Greece hy geographical pro-
pinquity, by common Interests in this
war and by treaty obligations. More-
over, rt was only through Grecian
territory that help possibly could
reach Servia; it was only by the use
of a great force that a base could be
provided for it.
"In the circumstances,the good will
of Greece was of first importance and
we had at that time every reason- to
feel assured that we had that good
will.
"Venizelos still was in-power and it
was at his instance that we under-
took to provide a force for enabling
Greece to fulfil! her treaty obligatiors
to Servia. It was in such circum-
stances that we sent such troops as
were available to Salonika It was a
small force because only a small force
could be collected at th* time, Tlie
French government dispatched a force
which apparently at this moment Is
encaged with the Bulbars on the east-
ern frontier of Servia. At the same
time a larger force was prepared for
service in southeastern Europe.
Two Important Developments,
"I suggest that these Bteps—Incom-
plete, no doubt—were taken with
great promptitude and they were the
only ones which could be taken to re-
lieve Servia. They were taken after
full deliberation with the naval and
military advisers. The British force
at Salonlkl. 13,000 in round numbers,
may be regarded as the precursor of
a larger force that has been put under
orders.
"Events have moved rapidly In that
part of the world. There have been
j two quite recent developments which
\ profoundly affected the military and
political situation. The first was the
deliberate decision of the Greek gov-
ernment that their treaty engage-
ments did not require her to go to the
rescue of Servia in the present mo-
mentous crisis and the other is the
progress of the campaign in northern
Servia. The military plans must de-
pend upon the military situation
when the reinforcement arrive and
upon this point the-allles are of one
mind.
"Lord Loreburn need have no ap-
prehension in this or any other mat-
ter of the kind that the government
is likely to be lei Into precipitate
action owing to some hurried im-
pulse or some vague sentiment to
achieve its object. At every step the
government will take the best naval
and military advico obtainable and
that advice will have reference not
only to the new enterprise but to all
subsidiaDjr questions with reference to
safeguarding communication and the
supply of men and material."
Lord Lansdowne said that an en-
deavor would be made to use the pres-
ent force at Saloniki to counter the
movement of the central powers to
cross Bulgaria but the precise method
of countering an attack must obvi-
ously be left for further very careful
consideration.
Lord Cromer Wants to Know.
The of Earl of Cromer, for many
year* plenipotentiary and consul gen-
eral at Cairo, added his voice to that
of Earl Loreburn for more informa-
tion. He suggested that the govern-
ment make some statement showing at
all events what he believed to be the
case that the center of gravity of the
war had been transferred from the
west to the east, and give some gen-
eral indication of how they intended
to meet tl.e situation.
"Lord Kitchener," said Lord Cro-
mer, "has been singularly parsimoni-
ous in his utterances in the house of
lords and speaking candidly, his state-
ments have never contained much
more than what we have already read
in the daily papers. We want some-
thing which will show that there is a
real grasp of the situation and to be
told in. general outline what Is to be
done about it."
The Earl of Cromer disassociated
himself from those who wished a
change in the government, but strong-
ly advocated a smaller cabinet.
I^ord Lorebur'1' wll° expressed dis-
satisfaction with the Marquis of Lans-
downe's answer, supported, as did oth-
er members of the house, the sugges-
tion of a smaller executive body and
in reply I.ord Citrzon said that Pre-
mier Asquith had this matter under
consideration. Lord I^ansdowne said
that he personally favored a change
