Witness Declares Higher-Ups
to Blame for Treatment

on, in hit report had recommended
his courtmartial for neglect of
duty.
"It it possible," asked Mr. Bland,
"that high officer! took the position
that they would not convict a man
of the rank of colonel?"
"Oh, no."
"And that they had a good goat in
'he person of 'Hard Boiled' Smith?"
"I have nothing to say about
that-
"Do you know of any reason ,
persisted Mr. Bland, "why Colonel
rirint9f4 chnnlri not have been
I brought to trial?"
"I suppose the superior oincers
had some good reason," replied the
witness.
"It is a serious reflection on the
A. E. F.," commented Mr. Bland. "If
a sentry goes to sleep on duty he is
hot, but if an officer goes to sleep
on duty and hundreds of boys are
beaten up, he is given an honorable
discharge.
Mr. Bland then asked the witness

mate did not suggest that Smith
had been willing to take the blame
for things he might have passed up
I to his superior.
It would look that way, replied
Colonel Donaldson.
Admits Brutalities.
Lieut. F. H. "Hard Boiled" Smith,
who was in direct command of farm
No. 2, admitted on the stand that
B ' terrible brutalities were practiced
311 the French prison camps, but in
sisted that hit camp was a "pleasure
resort" compared to the others. He
said he had not long to live and
wanted to tell the truth while he
was alive.
' Smith was sentenced to three
years' imprisonment on charges of
beating prisoners and stealing their
property. His sentence was reduced
to eighteen months and when Col
onel Donaldson was on the stand
he was asked to explain this reduc
tion, but could give no reason for it.
Smith's reference to his expected
death was interpreted by the prison
doctor as an indication of his belief
that some of the prisoners would at
tempt his life. The doctors said that
as far as he knew the man was in
perfect health.
Smith, on his testimony had as
serted he had been told by Colonel
Grinstead that General Strong had
ordered prisoners to be treated with
the most "ruthless severity." He
had said it was his understanding
that these men were to be treated
in such a way that they never would
come back to Paris or pass through
these farms again."
(!:)' Sergeant Contradicts.
The description by Smith of farm
No.: 2 as "a pleasure resort" was
flatly contradicted by Sergt. Clar
ence E. Ball, formerly the lieuten
ant's subordinate at the prison and
now- serving six months on charges
of brutality. Sergeant Ball swore
that he and other sergeants had been
forced to beat scores of prisoners
on the direct orders of Smith and
frequently in his presence.
The sergeant was asked what in
structions were given by Smith
when he was made prison sergeant.
" was ordered to beat the men,
to treat them rough."
""How many men did you beat
up??.;
: "I could not say."
"You mean they were so many
you Could not count them?"
"Yes."
"Fifty or 100.?"
"Yes."
Ball asserted that some
men beaten were just out
hospital, that on one occasion
.was expected to beat a man
the presence of Smith
other officers and that
was generally present when a man
was thrashed. When men were
beaten so badly that they were
covered with blood, he said they
were taken out into the yard and
the Jiose played on them.
Had No Choice.
Sergeant Ball claimed that he had
no choice, because Smith threat
ened that if he did not obey orders,
he himself would be turned over to
the prisoners and that he knew they
would kill him.
r "Did the colonel know about
these things?" he was asked.
The colonel was in it as much
s anyone else. If he didn't see
things he must have had bad eye
sight.
V The most sensational testimony
of the hearing was given by Joseph
t, Kgrszelewski, a sophomore of the
University of Pennsylvania, who
enlisted in the aviation corps.
' Ryielewski, who speaks English,
French, Polish and Russian, got into
some trouble over gambling and was
sentenced to three years' imprison
ment. He escaped and joined the
Polish army in France, was gassed,
wounded, decorated with the Croix
de Guerre for gallantry and given a
commission. Finally he was identi
fied by the American army authori
ties and claimed by them as a fugi
tive. He was sent to the stockade
prison at Gierves where, he assert
ed, a heritable reign of terror" ex
isted. " saw men tortured to make them
give evidence against their com
rades," he said. "They were hand
cuffed and chained to the walls and
then, beaten senseless with black
jacks by sergeants."
y: Negro Beaten Unconscious.
. Ryszelewski described oat a&se of
a colored soldier who was caught
entering the kitchen at night to try
and get some food. The negro was
beaten unconscious with blackjacks
by. three sergeants. Afterward he
was put in solitary confinement
"where his hair was burned off his
bead and he was flogged on the
soles of his feet with sticks to try
nd make him tell the name of a sup
posd accomplice.
Ryszelewski also described a pun
ishment inflicted on other men, who,
be said, were first handcuffed andj
U. S.-France Treaty
Presented to Senate

can, Minnesota, announced that
while he wanted to see it ratified
he thought reservations necessary.
During the day Senators Hitch
cock, Nebraska, and Swanson, Vir
ginia, democratic members of the
Foreign Relations committee, talked
over the senate situation with Presi
dent Wilson at the White House and
invitations were issued asking seven
more republican senators to confer
with the president Wednesday and
Thursday regarding the treaty. Sen
ator Hitchcock described Mr. Wil
son as "very well satisfied" over the
outlook.
Although most senators have re
served judgment on the merits of
the French treaty, it is known that
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
and others are stubbornly opposed to
it. It is thought unlikely that there
will be any effort to hasten its con
sideration, and a vote probably will
not be sought until the Versailles
treaty is out of the way.
The text of the French treaty sub
mitted by President Wilson was the
official copy in English and differed
only slightly in verbiage frm the
English translation of the French
text, which was made public by the
French foreign office and cabled to
the United States by the Associated
Press on July 2.
Neither the senate nor the Foreign
Relations committee will meet
Wednesday. Beginning Thursday,
however, the committee expects to
resume daily meetings, hearing
Bradley Palmer, Norman Davis and
F. W. Taussig and possibly some
other advisors on economic provi
sions in addition to Mr. Baruch.

yard and fed on bread and water.
Other men were taken out of their
cells at midnight in the middle of the
winter and scrubbed with mud, he
asserted, for the "crime" of smoking.
After he had been in this prison
some weeks, Colonel Maul was ap
pointed commandant as, the men un
derstood, a reformer. Ryszelewski
said Colonel Maul addressed the
men on his arrival and promised
them that "if a man did right" he
would be treated well.
On the strength of this promise
Ryszelewski wrote an article de
scribing conditions which he entitled
"The School For Bolshevism" and
handed it to the commandant. He
said that the next day he was
brought before him and sentenced
to three months' solitary confine
ment, for one month of which he
was handcuffed.
There was no change in conditions
under Colonel Maul's administration,
the witness testified.
The committee will sail for Eu
rope within a few days to continue
the inquiry there.
Denies Severity Charge.
Phoneix, Ariz., July 29. "General
Strong never told me to treat pris
oners with ruthless severity, and I
never interpreted my orders from
General Strong to mean that," said
Col. F. P. Grinstead, commenting on
charges of Lieut. Frank H. Smith
before the congressional committee
investigating conditions at army
prison farms in France.
Continuing, in a formal statement,
Colonel Grinstead said:
"General Strong told me before I
went to Chellas that the disciplinary
problem there was a difficult one
and that I would have to exercise at
all times strictest discipline.
"Lieutenant Smith had a most dif
ficult task, arising from congestion
that we were not able to relieve for
some time and I do not think he
used more severe means than were
necessary to control the prisoners.
I do not think prisoners at the farm
Smith commanded were ever beaten.
"We were getting over 100 de
serters or other absentees from the
American army in France every day
and they were a hard lot to handle."
Asked whether he had any orders
from any source that men were to
be treated so "they would never
come back to Paris or never pass
through the farms again," as charged
by Smith, Colonel Grinstead said:
"I didn't have any of that kind of
orders and I didn't give any of that
kind of orders."
Colonel Grinstead said he believed -Smith
had been misquoted in regard
to any orders that "ruthless sever
ity" was to be employed at the farm.
Regarding statements that prison
ers had "slept in the mud on straw,"
Colonel Grinstead said these condi
tions arose from "general conditions
through the district," and "prisoners
in that regard were not treated dif
ferently from other soldiers."
Tenth District Expected to I
Take $20,000,000 Notes
Of the $500,000,000 United States
short time treasury certificates the
Tenth district federal reserve bank
of Kansas City and its branches in
Omaha and Denver are expected to
take about $20,000,000 of the paper-
Already the Omaha banks have ap
plied for $2,000,000 of the certi
ficates. It is expected that this sum
will be at least doubled by addi
tional applications from Omaha
banks and those from the country.
The certificates run five months,
draw interest at the rate of 4'i per
cent and are issued in denomina
tions of $500 and $1,000 each.
No allotment is made to any of
the branch banks in the district or
any of the other reserve districts.
As a result, when an application is
filed with the Omaha branch for the
purchase of certificates, the order
is sent to the reserve bank at Kan
sas City, where it is filled.

cars had been procured for this pur
pose.
Negro educators and religious
leaders sent out appeal after appeal
for the blacks to go to their homes
and keep the peace. The appeal
fell on deaf ears.
Another Riot Caused.
The riot at the hospital was pre
cipitated by another at State and
Thirty-fifth streets, where two
white men and one negro were
killed, and approximately 30
negroes wounded in a battle that
followed a collision of an automo
bile and a patrol vagon. Several
policemen were injured. Two white
men were injured in the same riot
and were taken to the hospital
where the mob followed.
At Milton avenue and West Divi
sion street a negro leaped from an
alley and knocked a white man
down. In a moment a crowd of
Italians started for the assilant, who
ran and escaped. The police ar
rested four Italians, two of them
armed with sawedoff shotguns and
two with revolvers.
Another negro was fired at repeat
edly while near his home on Larra
bee street, also on the north side.
Italians Participate.
Italians also were participants in
rioting on the west side, according
to the police. William Donelson,
a negrs, was attacked by a crowd
at South Racine avenue and Taylor
street, beaten and shot in the head
and neck. He was taken to a hos
pital, where it was said he might die.
On the south side fights continued
in many localities. John Johnson,
18 years old, a negro, was stabbed,
beaten and thrown into the river at
Archer avenue and South Halstead
street. He was rescued by the police
and taken to a hospital.
Negroes at Fifty-fourth and
South State streets dragged John
Duffin, white, a florist, from his
wagon and beat him so badly that
he was taken to a hospital.
At Root street and Wentworth
avenue a negr was shot in the head
and probably fatally wounded.

the declarations made by the allies
in reply to President Wilson's note.
Neither Austria nor Germany ever
made such a declaration. Any at
tempt to bring the belligerants to an
agreement seems vain so long as
we do not know the points- where
their opinions differ."
Premier Bauer followed Dr. Muel
er. He attacked the conservatives
and declared that the former em
peror would certainly be brought to
trial and proved guilty of many
things.
"The reintroduction of a mon
archy in Germany is impossible," he
said. "I will read you two declara
tions, one from Chancellor Michaelis
to Von Hindenburg, dated Septem
ber 12, 1917, and the other, dated
September 15, 1917, containing Von
Hindenburg's reply and accompanied
by a memorandum from Von Luden
dorff. You will then understand
why no decisive reply could be given
regarding the reinstatement of Bel
gium." Dr. Bauer then read the Michaelis
note, as follows:
"In accordance with the wishes of
the high command, I drew up the
following basis for peace negotia
tions, for the protection of our com
merce. We demand the city of Liege
and adjacent territory. Belgium
must be intimately and economically
united with Germany. When Bel
gium has fulfilled all our demands
for security of economic connection,
which will take several years after
the first peace negotiations, we con
sider that military measures can then
be abolished. Consequently we only
ask to hold Liege provisionally as a
factor of security."
Von Hindenburg replied as fol
lows: "I don't conceal that the
navy and patriotic circles will feel it
a hard blow if we give up the Fland
ers coast a delusion which can only
be alleviated if compensations are
also known by the navy to be ful
filled. Economic connection with
Belgium cannot be released without
pressure on Belgium, even after
peace is declared and for that pur
pose several years will be necessary,
which, for military reasons, is pos
sible only when England and Amer
ica desert France.
, "If we are in possession of Liege
and unlimited master of the situa
tion we can take the measures neces
sary. I therefore do not believe
that we should give up Liege.
"The hardships which will be en
dured by our neighbors are the in
evitable result of the war under
present conditions. There can be no
talk of indemnities; neither can we
indicate our intentions to foreign
countries. i
Ludendorffs Advice.
Ludendorff's memorandum says:
"We must keep the district firm in
our hands. Possession of the Meuse
line only is insufficient. We must
drive the British and French armies
still further back. It is only thus
that Belgium can become economic
ally and intimately connected with
us, and this could not be effected
without strong military pressure.
Without a lengthy occupation and
the possession of Liege the neutral
ity of Belgium is a phantom, not to
be reckoned with."
Having made public these state
ments the premier continued:
At the same time the so-called
land party was formed, .which sup
ported the demands of the high
command. It was the members ot
this party which supported the an-
nexionists and drove the German
people into destruction."
Ihe premier was interrupted by
many of the members who, leaping
to their feet, shouted "murderers,"
traitors, "political radicals. ,

lings that God had given her. So
far as I am concerned, and so far as
my party is concerned, you will find
us fighting by the lady in the calico
dress."
Congressman Reavis having laid
the foundation for the development
of an intimate history of the War de
partment and the food supply as it
relates to the high cost of living,
Representative Jefferis, in his
maiden speech toward the close of
a day of bitter partisan debate, took
the democrats into camp by produc
ing first-hand evidence of the
charges that canned salmon in a gov
ernment warehouse in Omaha was
reported unfit for food, when, as a
matter of fact, it was reported
wholesome and merchantable by rep
resentatives of three of the largest
wholesale grocers in Omaha.
M. B. Newman, president of the
Newman Brokerage company, who
was accorded permission by Quar
termaster General Rogers to in
vestigate the government-owned
salmon in storage in Omaha, tele
graphed Congressman Jeffris as fol
lows.
"The sender in company with Mr.
Hughes of Hughes company, Mr.
Keoth of Paxton & Gallagher and
Mr. Murphy of McCord-Brady, in
spected salmon and found the same
wholesome, good and fit for food.
The above wholesale grocers
offer the government $10 per case
on all red salmon, $6.50 per case on
all pink salmon at Omaha govern
ment warehouse net cash. This
offer good only for immediate ac
ceptance and immediate delivery.
Omaha is entirely out of salmon.
Wholesale grocers can distribute
right now to advantage at the same
time relieve the food shortage. We
understand the above prices are
considerable in excess of what the
government paid packers. The very
tact that three of the largest whole
sale grocers in Omaha are willing
to buy this salmon is conclusive
proof and evidence the salmon it
absolutely merchantable. Examina
tion shows about 600,000 cans ot
pink salmon, 250,000 cans of red
salmon, both grades packed 48 cans
to the case. We understand nevi
salmon now in transit from Alaska.
We believe it to be the govern
ment's best interest to sell this
salmon immediately and let the
salmon go into consumption. The
parties bidding on this salmon are
responsible wholesale grocers, not
speculators."
When Mr. Jefferis had finished
reading, the republican side rose to
him while thunderous applause rang
through the chamber. Ihe demo
crats sat as if they had received a
knockout blow and when the Omaha
congressman, concluding, said: "This
attempt to keep foodstuffs from the
people and in the interest of the
canners and packers is the greatest
outrage ever perpetrated on a free
people even in the name of democ
racy, his colleagues showered him
with congratulations.
And over the whole turbulent
scene "Uncle Mose" Kincaid pre
sided as speaker out of respect pos
sibly to Reavis and Jefferis.
It was Nebraska s day in the
house.

Chamber.
Saunders county is succeeding ad
mirably in the work of raising $35,

for the construction of the all steel
bridge over the Platte river, east of
Yutan and on the line of the Center

George Davis, N. A. Phelps, A.
L. Anderson, Joseph Bradenberg
and A. J. Brodahl, Wahoo, and R.
H. Parks, Yutan, of the Saunders
county bridge committee, met at
noon yesterday with the executive
committee, of the Omaha Chamber
of Commerce and reported progress.
Members of the committe reported
that they had every reason to be
lieve that the $35,000 would be
raised within the next 10 days. The
farmers of the county, as well as
the busines men of Wahoo and
Yutan, they said, were enthusiastic
over the bridge proposition and that
generally they were subscribing to
the fund.
In Omaha the Platte river project

Johnson Addresses Churches.
L. B. Johnson, government cb

is making the trip with the convoy,
addressed the Chamber of Com
merce at noon yesterday on "The
Transcontinental Transport." He
said in part:
"Highways connecting extremes
of the continent are going to be a
common thing of the future. When
this convoy arrives in San Fran
cisco it will have demonstrated be
yond doubt that the transcontinental
trip by automobile and truck is go

should be the effort of good roads
men everywhere to make these mat
ters national rather than local in
scope."
The transport men, while iu Oma

kitchen in good old army style early
this morning. Aside from the dain

Mother and 7 Children
All Burned to Death
Nelsonville, O., July 29. Several
hours before authorities were to take
them to the Athens county home,
seven children, ranging in age from
6 weeks to 10 years, were found with
their mother, Mrs. Tony Stravisar,
burned to death or asphyxiated in
their home at Kimberly, a small
mining town near here. The chil
dren were tied to their beds and
coal oil had been sprinkled over the
room.
It is supposed that worry over the
separation caused the mother to de
stroy herself and the children.
