TOTHIKG VALUABLE BTBNED
In response to the request from Wash
ington, Brigadier General W. D. Con
nor, commander of the service of sup.
ply, has forwarded a series of 'reports
reads by Colonel James C. Hhea, chief
pf O. 4, fi. Q. Bh covering ah investi
gation pf alt charges of burning prop
- rty. Briefly the reports find that
though property -which pneo cost thou
sands ef dollars was destroyed It was
practically valueless when burned and
that this was the cheapest way of dis
posing of It,
A typical instance occurred at the
salvage plant of St, Pierre des Corps
pntside of Tours, where, several hun
dred slickers. rags and other rubbish
Were anointed with kerosene and burned,
Lieutenant Colonel It 8. Brinkerhoff.
. who made an . Investigation,' reported
. that the slickers were unfit for further
service -and unsalable. They were of
fered to pie French Junk dealers- free
if they would remove them, but : they
refused to take them even at that price,
' and burning was the only way to clean
UP the rubbish.
PAB BODIES BESTBOTED
"The grestest diseusaion was over a
"fire in the Romorantin motor ' transport
corps salvage depot, The newspapers
asserted that new automobiles, espe
cially trailers, wheels, tires, motorcycles i
and bicycles, were used for dally bon
fires. Colonel John Hughes, Inspector.
-and Colonel T. H. Farramore, superin
tendent ef the park, reported that not
a single automobile had arrived with
out parts missing, such as wheels. steer
Ins gears and -bodies The metal parte
were out by eyace?ylene torches and
the junk vas sorted into different piles
' of motors, rims, scrap Iron, etc. Fires
.; were neeessary to separate the wood
from the metal, which alone was valu-
abie as 4hk-
-t The big Blevree depot was charged,
not only with burning automobiles, but'
. tarpaulins, bedding, barracks, buildings
and stoves. , Tke report says that only
rubbish, which the Americans cleaning
. tip. the place were unwilling to. leave,
, Vaa burned. At' Ardentes, where the
entire camp was said - to'-have bee'h
' burned, : investigation showed that the
barracks were stm standing 'and; thst
the - only bonfires . were these which
' Were used in removing the Insulation
from copper wire. .'. 1 .
' . Considerable fuse was made because
, a fire had already destroyed several
buildings. Lieutenant Thomas " Burns
reported that the property had been
turned over to the French several days
previously and that civilians from the
. nearby villages, who immediately formed
convoys of all kinds ef vehicles, located
everything movable and then started
; the fire. The Americans' in the neigh
borhood extinguished the flame, the
French guards paying no attention.
, One reiult of the criticism was that it

was said that the United States seems
to have bound Itself more strongly than
Great Britain to go to the aid of France
in the event that France should again
be attacked by Germany, or In the event
of Germany failing to carry out the
conditions of the treaty of Versailles.
In the American-French treaty i it Is
agreed that the "United States will be
bound to come to the aid of France Im
mediately, while the Anglo-French an
nouncement aaya ''England consents to

Since the . agreement Is tripartite. At
was not undestood why the texts should
not have : been - exactly the same.; If
there was to be any difference in the
binding nature of the treaty obligations.
the opinion here was that Great Britain
should have been mere firmly bound
than the United States, as she ts nearer
to France and her interests therefore
are more likely to be affected by an
attack on France. -

It was recalled also that President

(Copyricfat, lttB, bf Chietco Paily New Ca)
London, England, July 4. The cur
rent Issue .of John' Bull contains a vio
lent attack on President Wilson by Hor
ace Bottomley, the editor,. The title of
the article is "Wilson Toying With Trea
son Mongers. In it Mr. Bottomley, who
has hypnotized himself into the belief
that he reflects true British opinion,
employs his. favorite weapon of vulgar.
abuse while his whole argument pivots
on what he does not know about the
provisions, of the peace treaty. The pic
ture he tries to draw is that of Prime
Minister Lloyd George cowering under
the evil influence of the :.Trlnceton1
professor, who proceeds with his wicked
machinations for snarling up the world
In general and leaving only the United
States free - to appropriate everything
worth having.
Further, Mr. Bottomley - refers to
President Wilson as a "preposterous
president," and the "White Hoys wlU
o' the wisp." He flays Walsh, Dunne
and Ryan lo -vicious terras. calling
them the American ' Bolaheviki, and
winds up with a tirade against the
American ; government, basing his re
marks on the immigration act. The
publication of the peace terms in Amer
lea while not permitted here Is played
up as part of a sinister scheme, at which
the i writer . hints -arkly . but .does not
explain.' '?'
The article should: not be token seri
ously In America because itis based
mostly upon the assumption of the writ
er that;, the peace . terms dictated by
President .Wilson are designed to boost
America and American ideals and com
mercial and political methods, I have
heard the article condemned by ' several
representative Britishers as the climax
of a - series of sneers and 4 Insults at
America -: which Bottomley- publishes
with fine regularity? LAs a certain prom
inent Englishman said to me today :
"it is not influences from across tne

bring about Anglo-American - harmony.

now much in advance of the form of

sn far as the "stake in the country"
argument goes, the new league will have
iinerinritv not only over the Sinn Fein,
but even over the old Irish party. The
appeal of the league is to the best
thought of Oreat Britain and America
as well as of Ireland. It does not con
template an electoral campaign- It
aims to educate public opinion on both
sides of the. Atlantic into recognition of
the practicability and urgency, of its

When the government approaches the
solution of -the Irish question, as every

layed.) "Tho French will be here 5 to
morrow," exclaimed the porter of my
hotel at Frankfort-on-the-Maln. On Mon
day at T the time limit expired for Oer-
many. to accept the allied peace terms.
There w a panic in Frankfort that
day; '- The night before there had been
a demonstration of working men in favor
of peace. Up to the last moment u was
uncertain whether the national assembly
in Weimar would accept or refuse the
treaty.
Thousands of persons left Frankfort.
One was reminded of the days in Paris
when "Big Bertha" began to shell the
city.. The Frankfort railway station was
thronred from rooming till night" with
crowds endeavoring to catch outgoing
trains. The railway porters were quite
unable to handle the piles of baggage
which accumulated mountain high dur
irtr the day In the station. On the
streets there were a few soldiers in. mill
tary uniform. Bound the bulletin boards
crowds gathered. In parts of the city
the streets were filled with people and
the few policemen were unable to dis
perse them. 1 -j
CHATTER IS GEKBBAX
They discussed things loudly. A
woman with a mongrel dog on chain
told stories " of abuses by the allied
troops. "A-'man In a green hat with, a
feather " shouted "Qo home to your
kitchen and - top exciting people with
cock and bull stories." Under the shad
ows of Bismarck's statue, where the big
square divides the ; Kalserstrasse, a
gathering of working men was discuss
ing how the men could get their, pay
before the French came. v A man in
wooden sandals gratuitously distributed
copies' Of the "International "Working'
man. " , ' , ', '
At my hotel I could not get a moati
because the cook had suddenly departed.
The report was out that the French were
going to treat Frankfort as the tier
mans had treated the towns of Northern
France and Belgium. Only the German
sailors who guarded the public buildings
seemed composed but these, be it said,
received .their pay from the allies.
OEEHAH TKOOPS -VAMOOSE"
When I learned from official sources
that the new government had accepted
the treaty X left Frankfort in an auto
mobile for Wiesbaden. Just outside
Frankfort I came to the dividing line
between the army of occupation and the
Germans. The Qerman. guards who halt
ed me when first X came through, had
left. Indeed, there were no Uerman
troops to oppose the advance.
On the French side everything- was In
.readiness.1 The infantry was already
drawn uo in detachments. Long lines of
empty comlons for tne transport r men
extended along the. road. A little to'
the rear were bodies of cavalry. Men",
stood at the horses' heads. Further,
along were guns of small caliber in
readiness to advance.. There was a gen
eral atmosphere of activity.
From the faces of the men u was
evident that this was a military move
which filled their souls with joy, jtt
was nO secret that the French feel that
the war stopped too soon and that Ger
many has not been made to, feel her de
feat and It ts true that Germany was
not mentally or morally prepared for .
this peace. Here people have never real
ised the. defeat of their army. An of
ficial who should have known better
said to met "Our army was not beaten. -We
were conquered- by hunger."
UNDUE HOPES' HELD .
. Undue hopes were raised in Germany
by the preliminary acceptance of Presi
dent Wilson's 14 points and subsequent
speeches as a basis for peace. Germany
had expectations that Americans would
prevent a drastic peace. American troops
were so friendly a few months ago in
the occupied sones. But since the peace
terms have been presented their attitude
has changed. They curse the Germans
and ask "Why don't you sign? llav
yott read the peace terms?" The Ger
mans answer "So." . The doughboys re
ply t "We don't care what they are; we
want to go home. Sign up." . " -
