mandors Marshal Ferdinand Foch

shing, here today, with a welcome fit

gionnaires a personal declaration of
comradeship and from his govern
ment bore the official greetings of
France.
Just, the appearance of the mar
shal was enough to throw the huge
hall Into a frenzy of applause and
acclaim and General Pershing was
given an equal ovation by tho former
soldiers who served under him.
General Pershing announced that
the war department had awarded the
distinguished service medal, posthu
mously, to the late Colonel Frederick
W. Galbraith, Jr., commander of the
American Legion at the time of his
death last spring.
General Pershing' led the conven

ing broadly.
Marshal Foch concluded his ad
dress as follows: "Your second army

HANGED WITH
OUT A TRIAL
Senator Watson of Georgia
Makes Sensational Charge
in Senate Produces Picture
of Gallows Claims Dough
boys Were Shot By Officers
Charge Denied.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Investi
gation by a special committee Into
charges by Senator Watson, democrat,
Georgia, that American soldiers in
France were hanged without court
martial or other trial was ordered by
the senate today by unanimous vote.
The committee will be appointed by
the president of the senato and Sena
tor Watson will be invited before It
to produce proof.
. WASHINGTON-, Nov. 1. Charges
by Senator Watson, democrat, Geor
gia, that American soldiers serving in
France, were hanged without court
martial, or other form of trial, pre
cipitated a heated debate today in the
senate. Chairman Watsworth of the
military committee invited tho Geor
gia senator to appear boforo his com
mittee to produce eyldenco In support
of his charges.
Senator Watson produced a small
photograph of an alleged hanging and
insisted that his. charges were true.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
said he had examined the photograph
and had been told by two former serr
vice men that the charges were true,
but that he was "unwilling to proceed
on such, evidence."
Hanged Day After Day
"How. many senators know," Sena
tor Watsowhnd' asked, "that a private
soldier was' frequently shot by his offi
cers, because of some complaint
against officers' insolence and ,. J.bat
they had gallows , upon 'which'" men
were hanged, day after day,' without
courtmartlal or any othef " form of
trial? I had and have the photograph
of one of those gallows upon which 21
white boys already had bebn executed
at sunrise when the photograph was
taken; and there were others waiting
in the camp Jails to be hanged morn
ing after morning."
Senator Wadsworth declared that
his charge could not be lightly brushed
aside, "nor could it be excused on
grounds of excitability In debate."
He demanded that Senator Watson
produce the proof.
Senator Watson replied that he re
sented the "democrat" and would tell
him foot to foot and shoulder to shoul
der that he was equal to any senator,
and assumed full responsibility for his
charges. He said he would refuse to
go before any committee with his evi
dence, or to produce his witnesses an
loss they were guaranteed immunity.
Means What He Says
"I mean 'every word I say, and I
would not overpaint the picture. I
have a photograph of tho gallows upon
which white soldiers were banged and
I can product witnesses who sat? the
executions.
"The men wer baagei Ilk 'la!
I can produce men if it were safe, who
saw men shot without trial. I cannot
compel men to come to this uncertain
danger.
"The food was piled up mountain
high in Franco and virtually given to
the French when our men were starv
ing. I can provo that our men were
unnecessarily exposed and left to die
on the road. 1 know ex-service men
who saw these things and told me
about them. Told me how letters were
censored and stereotyped to conform
to regulations and how soldiers who
would not comply were subjected to
barbarous treatment. These men will
not go back to Europe again to fight.
I have heard them state they would die
before they would do so. The men
were treated inhumanely and told me
so themselves."
Senator Wadsworth vigorously chal
lenged the truth of Senator Watson's
charges.
Senator Wadsworth asserted heated
ly that "not one man in our vast army
was executed without a court martial."
Senator Watson then produced his
small photograph of an alleged illegal
execution. It was parsed among the
senators who examined it carefully.

. "Why I have not asked the county

I can successfully handle such cases,"

"The county court has always been
