Weak Defense.
General W'illiam M Mitchell said at
a dinner in New York:
“Our air service is in a bad way,
and its defenders put up as bad a de
fense as the tramp’s;,.
“A very dirty tramp was charged
with chasing a lunch-joint, attendant
all around the lunch-joint with a
knife,
“ ‘What time was it when I chased
ye?’ the tramp demanded of his ac
cuser.
“ ‘Eight o’clock in the morning,’
said the lunch-joint man.
“ “There, gents,’ said the tramp,;
running his dirty hand through hi*
disheveled crop of whiskers, ‘that lets
me out all right, all right. That
shows ye what a liar hfe is. At eight
o’clock every mornin’, . winter and
summer. I takes me bawth.’ ”
