WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—His
military trial resumed before the
jury of g< nerals, Col. William Mit-
chell today began the gigantic task
of proving the trutii of ills criti-
cisms of the administration of
American aviation. |
Announcement of the defense
plan of action was made by Repre-
sentative Frank 11. Reid, repub-
lican of Illinois, chief of Mitchell's
counsel, as soon as court convened.
Reid created a mild sensation
when lie declared that one uf the
evidences of "treasonable adminis-
tration" of the air service by the
war department was the war de-
partment’s failure to forestall the
attempt of a foreign flight organi-
zation to secure a foothold in Cen-
tral America, within striking dis-
tance of the Panama canal."
He dared Mitchell would prove
that the war department failed to
do this, although warned to do so
by the chief of the air service.

tion" was not identified to the
court. It is understood ta refer to n
commercial concern. ostensibly
Austrian, but said to be German
owned, which has set up a com-
mercial flying business in Central
America.
To Reveal the Truth.
"I conceive it is my duty." said
Reid, “In the interests of justice
and in the proper presentation of
the defense of the accused to pre-
sent direct and positive evidence
which will not only convince Colo-
nel Mitchell's accusers of their er-
ror, but remove much ignorance by
a revelation of the truth.
"We will prove by evidence that

"Colonel Mitchell was besieged
by newspaper men and press as-
sociations for a statement about
these accidents. That, in response
to these requests, he issued the
statement on Sept. 5. In the hope
it would arouse the conscience of
some of the American people and
that they, knowing of his knowl-
edge, the subject, would through
