Says Foe Will Pay for
Atrocities After War

LONDON, June 1.-The British and
Foreign Sailors Society held meet
ing at Albert Hall last night, on the
occasion of the second anniversary of
the Battle of Jutland. Field Marshal
Haig sent this telegram:
eve rejoice in your gallant deeds.
AS on the seas you never have failed
US, so on the land our army will not
fail you"
Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, address,
ing the meeting, paid a warm tribute
to the mercantile marine. saying that
it was as a result of it's efforts that
Great Britain to-day was so we'll fed
and clothed and enjoyed such COM
forts. Abiding to the submarine cam
paign, the admiral said the stories
concerning sailors, both British and
foreign, whose ships had been torpe-
doed, who had been subjected to gun
fire, abandoned at sea, or drowned in
'tentionally by the enemy, in the hope
of destroying their morale, seemed in
credible. Yet never was a ship de-
layed for want of a crew.
The Marquis Of Crewe, who presided
at the meeting, read telegram from
Alng george congratulatlng the SOcl-
ETY.. In the course of his speech the
marquis referred to the demands for
reprisals for German atrocities. He
said he knew of no rule of divine
justice or human procedure, which,
when the enemy sank a passenger ship
or attacked hospitals on land, would
forbid trial of the perpetrators by
drumhead court martial and their ex-
ecution, not by shooting them as brave
men, but by hanging them as male
factors.
of however, we were so to act, en-
tirely within our right" he continued
"the enemy would put to death ar
equal or larger number of our men
against whom no offence could be al
legged. But let it not be supposed thai
the barbarities of German warfare will
be forgotten when the time comes te
consider the conditions for ending the
war We shall then possess the power
of exerting iron pressure on the Cen
trail Powers, through our undiminishee
command of the sea and our control Of
raw materials. These could and ough
to be applied against those outrages
as we'll as in offsetting any territorial
gains which the enemy might enjoy
| when peace is made"

Rickenbacher saw four German fliers
coming toward him. At the same time
Lieutenant Meissner, bying high, dove
A wing on the Brooklyn fiier's plane

when a third German plane, seeing he
was crippled, started after him. But
Rickenbacher, with a long dive, drove
the German away and saved Meissner.
In letter to his parents, written be-

from Germany, has made q statement
at Moscow, which is now available
here, to the effect that he saw Ameri-
can prisoners Of war in a camp at
Tuchel, West Prussia, and that they
asked him to let it be known that they
were being treated brutally. The
prisoners said they were hungry and
penniless.
When the Americans arrived at the
camp, according to this account, the
Germans removed all their clothes.
the Americans shoes. They told the
prisoners they should not wear ex-
pensive clothing and shoes while work
ing, and that their property would be
taken care of until their return to
America. The Russians said, however,
that every one knows what that means.
A consul-the Russian was not sure
whether he was a Swiss or q Spanard
visited the camp. Complaint was
made to him by the Americans, and
their clothes were returned, but as the
consul seldom visited the camp the
Germans had opportunity to practice
many injustices.
The Russian said that eight Ameri.
cans, who were captured several
months ago, reached the camp at mid,
day and, being very hungry, asked fol
bread. They were told bread was dis
tributed only in the morning. They
were placed in a hut with Russians
after being forced to stand in square
where Germans were given an oppor
tunity to insult them.
The huts in which the Americans arc
living, the Russian said, are damp
cold and unfit for habitaton. Some O.
the Americans became ill. Two of them
who were in hospital, had an oppor
tunity there to talk with the Russian
and it was through them that he OBJ
tanned the information on which hi
statement was based.

PARIS, June 1.-The avoidance by

commented upon in the French press.
The "Intransigeant," for instance, after
noting that the communique mentioned
merely "the enemy" as having occu-
pied Cantigny, remarks that "Ameri-
can" is a word the Germans dislike to
pronounce.
"America," comments the newspaper,
"is the great menace they are seeking
to avoid. We, seeing the effect of the
word on the Germans, rally closer

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, June IA public
announcement of the number of Ameri-
can troops transported to France dur
ing the month of May and the approx
mate strength Of General Pershing's S
complete force is soon to be made by
Secretary Of War Baker, he indicated
to-day in explaining the process of
brirading American troops with the
French and the British.
Secretary Baker and his military
chiefs, while realizing the unmistaka-
bic ferocity of the present drive on tho
Western front, to-day indicated com
plste satisfaction with the number Of
troops that have been shipped to Eu-
rope during the last month: The con-
templated announcement of the addi-
tional man power dispatched to the
front during May is confidently ex-
pected TO exceed the most sanguine
hopes OF military men.
Secretary Baker asserted that the
brgading of American troops with
French and British commands would
only temporarily destroy the identity Of
the American command. He said the bri
gading system was merely an expedient
found necessary in the present crisis,
and that divisions as trained in this
country would eventually come together
again ana resume lnelr original luen-
tity.
Explaining the brigading policy, Sec
retary Baker said:
"The division goes over. They break
it up into small parts and associate the
parts with veteran divisions for train
ing. This training is done back of the
line for a while, with the division which
has had front line experience. Then
the division is taken up into the front
line and given additional training in
association with veteran troops. They
are then brought back and reassemb bled
into divisional formations.
"The reassembled division is then
taken back into the front line trenches
for training as division in the line
After spending some time at the front
It is sent back of the line for rest
period in the home area. After it has
rested up and filled it's ranks and got
the men in good trim, it again goes
back into the line for service"
