Baker Again Declines
To Explain Transfers
Tells Senator Weeks Facts Re.
garding Edwards and Logan
Are Still i'm France
NeaO York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-In a letter
to Senator Weeks Secretary of War
Baker to-day declined to disclose any
OF the information requested by the
Senator regarding the transfer of Cen
eral Edwards, Colonel Logan and other
officers from the 26th New England
DIVISION just prior to the armistice.
Inc Secretary of War declared that
an the records in the case were in
france, that the matter was in the
jurisdiction of General Pershing, and
IN consequence the War Department
could make no report at this time.
senator Weeks Immediately dis
patched second letter to the Secre-
tary OF War, suggesting that he OBJ
taln a report on the case from Cen
eral Pershlng at once, and give him
complete statement on the Logan
case. ~ ''''
The Secretary of War, in his letter
TO Senator Weeks, takes practically
tne same ground that he has arr j.,
taken in communications to other
Massachusetts officials 1t is polntea
out, however, that since injuries yora
nrst made Mr.. Baker has had annie
TINE to obtain full report on the case
If he wished to. N'''e
Should second letter to the Sec
retary of War meet rebuff. Sona+or
Weeks, it is expected, will immediafei+,
introduce resolution in the Sena+e
ealing upon the Secretary of War for
a report on the case. 1t is believed
that such a resolution would pass with
scarcely q dissenting vote.

Abram l. Elkus, former Ambassador

"Bolshevism cannot be fought sue

"Education is the weapon to employ"
Mr.. Elkus declared that one of the

Senator King-"It is probably not

Mr.. Bielaski-"No; they came to-

Senator King-"They came on the
