Secretary of War John W. Weeks believes these men should be treated generously by their government and their achieve ment—the greatest in the history of aviation—should be appropri ately recognized. But Mr. Weeks is undecided whether to make N a fight in behalf of the heroes of the air service. No Legislation Drafted. So far, the secretary has draft ed no legislation for the consid eration of congress and has pre pared no recommendation to ap- [ pear in his forthcoming ( annual k report. Should he be asked by the military affairs committeemen of the house and senate, however, to give his view, he will urge that something be done. What Mr. Weeks would prefer to have and what he thinks a sec retary of war should have is blanket authority not only to ac cord suitable recognition to air men whose military achievements stand out but authority to deal with all individual cases of hero ism of special merit as they come up in any branch of the service. Secretary is Helpless. The secretary admits that at present he is unable to do any thing that is substantial for the round-the-world flyers, He can recommend them, as he has done, and his commendation will become a part of their official records, but he is not empowered to pro mote them, even to the extent of in a circular as Leo Koretz, want ed for a $2,000,000 fraud in Chi cago and for whose arrest $10, 000 reward was offered. At the jail he waived extradi tion and announced himself. ready to return at once to face the charges. r SISTER OF AMERICAN FLYER WEDS HUN HE WOUNDED IN FRANCE Omoha, Neb., Nov. 24.—Two air pilots, a German and an American, fought a thrilling duel in the air over Dijon, France, in the world war. The German was captured after being wounded by gunfire from the American plane. The German, Baron Hans Von Ringhausen, former German avi ator, came here to marry Mrs. Bertha M. Wendell, sister of the American, Charles E. Cummings, former air pilot of the foreign le gion. Mrs. Wendell nursed the baron back to health while she was a Red Cross nurse in the American prison camp. The baron and Mrs. Wendell will make their home in Omaha, he having disposed of his hold ings in Germany. GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS advancing, them to the head of the list in their respective ranks. It was explained that the retary was not even in a position to keep Second Lieutenants John Harding, Jr., and Henry H. Og den any longer in their commis sioned ranks. Both these men, expert mechanics, have been *u> tually demoted since they com pleted the long and perilous flight. Harding and Ogden Demoted. Lieutenant Harding has resum ed his status as a civilian me chanic at McCook Field and: Og den has returned to his non-com missioned, rank as a sergeant at Selfridge Field. Bothe were mem bers of the Officers’ Reserve Corps, and as such were called to active duty with commissioned rank during the globe-girdling flight. It is regarded here as probable that congress, on its part, will take up the cases of the six avia tors of the army air service who have signally distinguished them selves and that some action will be initiated in that body to re ward them for their work..
