New York, Sept. 2S.-Bringing a
report OF Outrageous cruelties per-
petrated on American soldiers" in
prisons of the American Expedition
airy Forces In France, the congress
sional committee sent overseas to In
vestigate tales of army prison hor-
rors," arrived here tonight On the
transport Agamemnon, from Brest.
The party was composed Of Repre-
sentatives Royal c. Johnson, South
Dakota. chairman; Oscar K. Bland,
Of Indiana, and Henry ID. Flood. of
Virginia.
Conditions In army prison camps
were found very bad" with special
emphasis laid on Prison Camp No.
2. nea Paris, the committee stated
Conditions were appalling" Rep
~resentative Bland said, Nothing
like this treatment of u men has
ever been known before in the his
tory Of the American army. We have
copies of records, reports and testi-
mony of inspectors. courts martial
officers so as to be enabled to definite
ly fix responsibility" /,
Representative Bland held that
Col. Grinstead and Gen. Strong were
directly responsible for the "unpre-
cedented cruelties" at Prison Farm
No. 2. and that II Gen. Strong, who
was over Col. Grinstead. did not
know of conditions, he should have.
He said that Gen. Harte for months
was in the same building at No. 10
Rue st. Anne where thousands OF
ontrages were committed. Lack of
food, heat and air. and nauseating un-
sanitary conditions were before his
eyes, and the reports on conditions
were on file in his Office. Mr.. Bland
said.
The representative added that Gen.
Harte was the military guardian of
the president. and mo man In the
iudge-advocate's or provost marshal's
departments had the holiness to re,
commend his trial before a court
martial or efficiency board"
Three facts stand out" said Mr.
Bland. first, that the most horrible
and revolving cruelties existed; Sc
cond, that the higher officers respon.
sible have no been made to atone
for these wrongs; third. that no rea
sonable excuse for the same has been
offered by the wal department. 1t IL
clearly up to them"
Congressman Bland added. 1T Is
the intention OF the committee to sec
that every man in any way RESPONSE

BREAKDOWN
HALTS TOUR
Physician Orders Complete Rest For
President

Washington, Sept 29.-Under an
absolute prohibition against work Of
worry. President Wilson began to day
the vacation which has been prescrfb-
ed as the cure for his attack of nerv-
Gus exhaustion.
After another troubled night he
slept from early morning until noon
and in the afternoon was taken for
an hours automobile ride. The re-,
mainder Of the day he spent quietly
secluded In his room OF talking with
members Of his family.
So thorough will be the effort to
prevent him from doing any work
that he will not be permitted for the
present to see any of the senate lead
ers in charge of the fight for ratil-
cation of the peace treaty.
The visit OF King Albert and Queen
Elizabeth to the White House will
be postponed. 1t was announced de.
finitely today. Instead of being re-
ceived by the president at the end OF
the present week, the king and queen
first will make their tour Of the coun-
try.
1t was said at the White House
that. these precautions only were a
part of DR.. Grayson's original pro
gram OF quiet for the president and
were not to be interpreted al indicat,
ing any change in his condition. The
presidents physician has made nc
qualification of his original bulletin
of Friday in which he said the III
ness was not alarming but that a
considerable period OF rest would be
necessary for recovery.
The feeling of the White House
officials is that the nervous reaction
which has interfered with the presi-
dents sleep and with his digestion
constitutes q condition which may
require some days t. reveal the ex>
act extent of Its grip upon his sys-
ITEM. Mr.. Wilson is nearly So years
lof age and his advisers wish To take
no chances OF permitting his ailment
to run into complications.

Palmer as a result of a visit TODAY
of a delegation of Kansas cattle rails

Breeders Profit Increased

Brookings, S. Oak, Oct. 1.-The av-
erage herd of 20 grade cows in South
Dakota made $40 more profit last
year by the use of purebred sires
than where grade or scrub sires were
used, according to a survey Of IA
representative counties by the various
farm bureaus. The GAG breeding
herds of cattle in the average Of the
Il counties would return an increased
profit OF $332.100 by using all pure
bred sires. The survey shows that
IS per cent of all sires are grades or
