General Bell asked Mrs. Humiston to lay be- fore him what specific information she had to substantiate these charges, especially to furnish him with the names of the young women involved. The general received 8 reply saying she would show him what information was available as soon as possible. As yet the general says he has received no list of names or any additional in- formation that would be of value in Investigating the womans charges.
 Up to about ten days ago there was a carpenter employed at the camp known as James C. Aiken, who represented that he lived in New York City. While here he became very friendly With Sergeant Penland of the Cooks and Bakers school, and they bunked together. On last Tuesday morning the Sergeant received letter from Adken suggesting that he and some of his fellow-offlcers visit New York to attend a dance in Terrace Garden, the proceeds to be devoted to the Vocational Club for Girls. The writer said Mrs. Humiston was inter- ested in the club.
 Sergeant Penland and Sergeant Kline, a chun, attended the dance on Wednesday and met a woman there who represented herself as Mrs. Hum- iston. Later on they met friends of Adken, one a Miss F1ossie Francis. On Adken and the Francis girl

Their Activities Arouse Suspicion of General Bell Who Investigates

Yaphank, l.. l., Nov. 27.-General Bell is indignant as the result of an investigation of a couple who came to the camp, Sunday, ostensibly to Visit sergeant here. The couple were later trapped in a hotel and sent out of town on different trains, but not before they both had been Ques- tioned by General Bell and other of- ncers at the camp. The general said this afternoon that he regarded the movements of the couple, the girl not being over s or 19, as very suspicious in view of charges which had recent ly been made against the morals of the soldiers at various army camps.

He admitted also that he knew Mrs. Humiston, but denied that she fur nished him the money for railroad fare to the camp, and he also denied that he knew who gave the girl her carfare to the camp.
