CLAIM REPRESENTATIVES
TALKED TOO FREELY
British Ohicia1s' Reason for Not
Granting Permission to Visit
Battle Front.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
FRANCE, August 27.-The British au-
thorities, it has been learned, recently
refused their permission for Repre-
sentative Ernest Lundeen of Minne-
sofa and Representative Charles h.
Dillon Of South Dakota to visit the
British battle front. They arrived in
France late in July on board q Brit
ish vessel and later visited the Amer
ican front. It 10 believed they are
now touring Italy.
The request that the congressman
be permitted to pay a visit to the
British lines is said to have been
made in the usual manner by the
American Army authorities. When
the declination Of the British was
received an investigation was begun.
This, it Is asserted, resulted In the
lexplanation that both men had talked
freely aboard ship in such manner
about certain subjects affecting the
war that both British and American
brought the subject of their conversa-
tions to the attention of the officer
commanding the troops aboard the
vessel and also the ships captain.

however, voted against the declara-
tion of war against Germany resolu-
ton and later against the eelective
service bill and other measures de-
signed for its insistent prosecution.
Both men were defeated for renomI-
nation in their districts shortly be-
fore they left the United States on a
proposed tour of the battle fronts.
During the campaigns the two repre-
sentatives were criticised for their at
titude toward the war.
