WILSON DEFERS
SPEECH MAKING
TOUR TILL AUG. Is
President Will Resume Confer,
ences with Republican Sem
ators at Once.

Washington, July 26.-President
Wilson will not leave on his speech
making tour of the country before
August IS, and possibly not until
late in August. This was indicated
by the formal announcement by Sec
retary Daniels after a conference al
the White House that the review Of
the newly organized Pacific fleet
originally set for August IS, had
been postponed in order that the
president might be present.
1t was announced at the White
House that Mr.. Wilson would re-
sumo his conference with republi-
can senators Wednesday.
As there are 50 republican sena-
tors whom the president has not in
vited to the White House it was be,
lieved his conferences with those
opposing the League of Nations
would require about 10 days. This
also was taken to indicate that the
president did not contemplate be-
ginning his trip until probably the
middle of next month.
The change in the date for the
fleet review at San Francisco, how.
ever, Secretary Daniels said, would
not affect the schedule for the ar.
rival of the fleet at San Diego, Aug.
ust 7, and at Los Angeles, August 9
The fleet, he said, would be held al
a Southern California port, pending
the arrival of the president.

Copenhagen, July 2o.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Control of Bel
gium and possession of the city of
Liege was the determination of the
German high command in 1917.
Chancellor Michaelis drew up a
tentative plan for peace negotia-
tons, incorporating in this demand
for Liege and adjacent territory and
Germany. The chancellor, however,

ionally. as a factor of security.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
was opposed to the giving up Of
Liege. He would hear of no talk
of indemnities. nor would he indi-
cate Germanys intention to the
enemy.
General Ludendorff, another of the
high military authorities, was for
keeping the entire Liege district in
German hands. He advised strong
military pressure and the driving
back of the British and French
armies.
The German attitude was disclosed
by declarations read by Premier

RIOTS AND STRIKE
CAUSE SLUMP IN VALUES.

Chicago, July 2o-Race riots com
bined with the street car strike had
a marked effect upon Chicago's pack
ing industry and promised to extend
their influences to other lines. At
the stockyards there was sharp
falling off in livestock transactions,
packing firms buying only sparingly
because of doubt as to the ability Of
their negro employees to reach their
work and also because some OF their
white workers were threatening to
strike. There were $1,000 unsold
hogs in the market when it closed,
despite a drop in prices that carried
quotations from 50 cents to $l.25 a
hundredweight lower than Monday.
Mayor Thompson ordered the po-
lice to provide strong patrols and

Relieved of LUXURY Tax

Washington, July 2o.-America's
foot ball fans will feel one less touch
of the high cost of sports because
of a recent ruling of the Treasury
department. The ruling is that where
the money from foot ball game or
other form of collegiate sport is
used exclusively in educational work,
the 10 per cent war tax is exempted.
Educational work is interpreted to
mean the maintenance of an athletic

goods Immediately after the arnis-

have been made by the American

Men Were MiStreated in
Prison Camps Behind Lines.
"HARD BOILED" SMITH
APPEARS AS WITNESS
Says Higher-Ups Were to
Blame for Punishment Melted
Out to Soldiers Who Were
Sent Back for MisdemeanorS.

| New York, July 2o.-Scores of in
stances of brutal treatment of Amer
lean soldiers in the prison camps
of France, described in some cases
as amounting to system of tor
ture. responsibility for which was
placed by the witnesses on high
army officers were related Thurs
day before the congressional sub
committee which is investigating the
disciplinary systems of the A. E. F
The committee, consisting of Rep
resentative Royal c. Johnson OF
South Dakota and Representative
Oscar f. Bland of Indiana met in
the disciplinary barracks on Govern
ors Island.
The men higher up" who were
directly charged by witnesses with
responsibility for the prison condi-
tons included Brig. Gen. w. W.
Harts, former commander of the
American troops in the Paris dis
trict; Major Gen. Frederick Smith
Strong, of the 40th division; Col
Edgar Grinstead, commander of the
15Sth infantry, and Col: J. S. Maui
of the field artillery.
Other Officers Named.
A number of captains and lieuten-
! ants also were named as having
taken. an actual part in the brutal
treatment of the prisoners.
At the close of the hearing Rep
resentative Johnson announced thai
all cases in which charges were
made would be placed before the in
spector general of the American
army and every effort made tc
bring the guilty men to punishment
From the evidence before the
committee" said Mr.. Johnson, "i'
seems clear to us that while ser
geants and and lieutenants were
punished, they were merely the
scapegoats of higher officers. We
want to discover who were the mer
higher up and we will do everything
in our power to see that they are
brought to trial. 1t is apparent that
this was not a case of brutality il
an individual prison. but that similar
conditions existed in practicallysal
the prisons of France"
Blames General Hart.
The principal witness Tuesday
was Col. T. Q. Defaldso of the in.
spector generals department, who
made an official investigation of the
prisons after the first charges ot
brutality were made public. Colone
Donaldson admitted that responsi.
bility for conditions in the Paris
prisons must be laid to Genera
Harris.
In reply to an inquiry as te
whether he had ever discussed con
ditions at the farm with his superb
ors, Smith replied.

(Staff Correspondent Of The Omaha Bee)
Washington Bureau, Omaha Bee,
Washington, D. G., July 2o.-Tues-
day was Nebraska Day in the house
and on the livest subject that body
has had before it for many moons.
A resolution from the Reavis sub
committee of the general committee
of conduct of the IS charged to in
vestigate the War department ex-
pendltures calling upon the secre-
tary of war to place on sale with
out delay the surplus food products
in the hands or under the control OF
the War department now stored in
the United States under such plan
as will safeguard the interests of the
government and give the people Of
the United States an opportunity to
purchase the same directly from the
government.
Two members from Nebraska
made most telling speeches to a
large proportion of the house mem
bership and to galleries keenly alive
to the politics of the situation, for
the democrats were on the de-
fensive. The majority openly
charging the secretary of war with
friendly leanings toward the pack
ers and Gamers and formulating
orders that kept millions of dollars
worth of canned vegetables and
meats from getting into the domes-
tic market and thereby denied them
to the people who were clamorlng
for these canned products.
Reavis Principle Speaker.
Representative Reavis made the
principal speech for the General
War Investigation committee, hand
ling his subject without partisan
bias bat criticizing Secretary Baker
for suggested collusion with the can
ners and packers in keeping the
surplus s'ock of vegetables and
meats off the domestic markets and
thereby keeping present prices in
these commodities at top notch
figures in language that lacked even
veneer. He said it was difficult for
