But this annoyncement is that the Oglethorpe University orchestra is to offer the entertainment, and theYein lies the ciuse for elation and self-con gratulation. The reputation of being the finest college orchestra in the South could only be founded on merit, and it is thus that the Petrel musi cians have been characterized by no less an authority than the Atlanta Journal. The finest in the entire wriggle inanely in your seats Strong language and rash promi ses? Yes; but just wait. But it is not their exceptional abil ity at this comparatively new type of music t^bat has won for these'boys their splendid reputation. It is in their interpretation of classics—diffi cult, rich in harmony, intricate in ex ecution—pieces running the entire scale of musical technique; pieces vi-, brant, sweeping; pieces delicate, dreamy^pieces startling, others sooth ing; in a word, music—real music— versatile, but always artistic. \And finally, there will be comedy.

All Are Senior and Hold Honors. Washington, Oct. 20.—What is be lieved to be the highest ranking court- martial ever assembled for trial of an army officer in the grade of colonel today was ordered by direction of President Coolidge to cpnvene in Washington, October 28. On that date, or as soon after as possible, Col. William Mitchell, storm center of the air service controversy, will be brought before the court on charges specifying violation of the ninety-six articles of war. l J1 I! Under the provisions of this article, conviction could, in the discretion of the court, be made punishable by dis missal from the army. Presidential approval, however, would be required before such a verdict could be put into effect. Secretary Dwight Davis is credited with having. picked the members of the court himself. All of them are senior in point of service and rank to Colonel Mitchell, and all hold medals of honor, or distinguished service crosses or medals. The court was composed by special effort only of of ficers free from duties connected with the war department and general staff administratign. Mr. Davis’ action today came as the culmination of several days of dis agreement between Colonel Mitchell and war department’officials and gen eral staff officers over policies con nected with the administration of the air service. It waS precipitated, how ever, by the recent statement in which the Colonel, then on duty with the eighth corps area headquarters at San Antonio, Texas, sensationally charged that the conduct of the war and navy departments in certain air service functions had been “almost treason able” and criminally negligent. The Mitchell charges were published on the heels of the Shenandoah dis aster, and before the finding of the PN-9 No. 1, naval plane then lost in the Pacific ocean, after its failure to negotiate the flight from San Fran cisco to Honoullu. While the war department withheld the specifications of the charge from publication tonight, so they might b? read first before the court in accord ance with custom, it is more than probable that Colonel Mitchell will be judged on evidence presented to show that he has conducted himself M to the prejudice of good order and military discipline.” With the charge, against him con- fined to that specification^ it is un likely that he will be allowed to Intro duce in his own defense any discussion involving the Shenandoah disaster or the PN-9 No. 1, failure. j iri The 96th article, for violation of: n which Colonel Mitchell will be tried, reads: “Though not mentioned in these articles, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order v upon the military service, and all crimes or of fenses not capital, of which persons, subject to military law may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general or special or summary court- martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and punished at the discretion of the court.” The court of 13 members, the max imum number permitted under army courtmar£ial regulations for the trial of military offenders, will be headed by Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, commanding the Second corps area, New York. Within its membership are included four other corps area commanders having headquarters at Columbus, Ohio, Baltimore, Md., Chi cago, 111., and Omaha, Neb. The re maining members, with*the exception of Col. Blanton Winship, who is on duty at First corps area headquarters in Boston, law member of the court, are all 1 brigadier generals. The chief members of the court will be Maj. Gen. Robert L. Howze, com manding the Fifth corps area at Co lumbus, Ohio; Fred W. Sladen, super intendent of the West Point Military academy; Douglas MacArlhur, com manding the Third corps area at Bal timore; W. S.. Graves, commanding the Sixth corps area, Chicago and Benja min A.
