Commander at Brest
Denies Mistreating
Soldiers and Nurses

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The War
Department tonight made public an
other report from General Pershing
denying that unsanitary and unhealth-
full conditions exist in the American
embarkation camp at Brest, France
The American commander in chief, re-
plying to cablegram of protest sent
by a New York newspaper to Presi
dent Wilson and forwarded to him by
the President, summarized report
which he had received from Major Gen
eral Eli A. Helmick, inspector generals
department of the expeditionary forces,
commanding at Brest.
The cablegram of protest sent to the
President charged that soldiers from
the front and Red Cross nurses were
practically held prisoners while in the
Brest camp, and if complai int was made
were put at the bottom of the sailing
to, stand in the rain for hours for
meals; that officers were overbearing
and harsh, and that conditions gen.
orally were unsanitary.
Declaring the charge that soldiers
from the front and nurses were con-
fined in quarters was "absolute1y
groundless," General Helmick said:
''No individual has been put at the
bottom of the sailing list. One organ
ization was held fifteen days on ac-
count of bad state of discipline and

Ne,O York Officers
Reach Newport Ne,us
On Battleship Georgia

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Feb. 23-
New York City and State were we'll
represented among the 1895 officers
and men who arrived on the battleship
Georgia from Brest after fifteen days
at sea on what the men called the
toughest voyage on record.
Private Reuben Doloboff, 254 Pulaski
Street, Brooklyn, member of the 161st
Infantry, died a few days before the
battleship reached this port.
Among the New Workers on the
Georgia were First Lieutenant S. D.
Swami, 32 Franklin Street. air SER
vice, nephew of District Attorney Ed
ward Swami of New York; First Lieu
tenant A. O. Walker, Goshen, 161st In
fantry; Second Lieutenant James Nc
Dermott, 339 East Thirtieth Street,
161st Infantry, and Sergeant Major
Benjamin Killer, 3SS Lafayette Street.
The Georgia left Brest February Z.
She had on board the 161st Infantry, q
New York casual company and several
casual officers. The 161st Infantry did
not get into action, but was used as g.
replacement unit. When it left Amer
ica it was composed almost entirely of
men from the far West. Now its mem
bers hail from every state in the
Union.

the National Guard, and that its mini
mum strength will be kept up to 1000
men, impaired special note of jubila-
tlon to the welcome given at the 7th
Regiment Armory yesterday afternoon
to New York's fighting negroes.
X. L. Moran, acting Mayor during
Mr. Hylan's sojourn at Palm Beach,
gave the big audience further cause
tor rejoicing when, in his speech of
salutation on behalf of the city, he
pledged himself without stint to assist
the regiment in it's effort to obtain an
armory of its own.
IF any regiment ever earned an
armory," he said, "the 10Th is the one;
and all New York knows it."
-, Elk, Governor Charles S. Whitman,
Charles W. Anderson, Chaplain Brooks
and Colonel William Hayward, head of
the 18th, also spoke. And between
whiles Jim Europe's band lent gayety
to the occasion.
Those of US who saw the beginning
of this regiment" said Ex-Governor
Whitman, "are particularly moved by
this celebration to-day. l remember
very we'll the day, three years ago,
when these boys lined up for the
first time in front of the Union League
Club. Some of them didn't look much
like soldiers to US then. But to-day all
the world knows what kind of soldiers
they are; and all the world honors
them even as New York does"
Colonel Hayward received tremen-
dous ovation, and so did the absent
boys of the "old 69th," as the 15th's
commander recalled how. in the days
when vestiges of racial prejudices
still made hard the path of the 18th
the seth to a man stood by the negro
boys, fighting their battles with them
eve want to remember that when
the 69th comes home" said Colonel
Hayward, "and do our share in making
their welcome just as big one as
their white friends have made ours
Chaplain Brooks evoked cheers wher
he spoke of the fresh proof negro mer
have given of their worth and theil
loyalty to the United States through
this war, and when he called upon al
negroes to join unafraid into the fel
'lowship of our democracy.

There seems no way to do absolute
justice to organizations or individuals
and get them home in order exactly
according to the relative time they
have spent in France or at the front.
There should be no great criticism in
this regard so long as every effort is
made to utilize all available trans
portation, which certainly is being
done.

Major Weaver Opens Office
to Find Work for Men in
Advance of Homecoming

Twenty-seven thousand New Workers
will return when the 77th Division,
"New York's Own" comes sailing
home, and 81, 400 of them will find jobs
waiting for them. Places have been
found for them through the efforts of
members of the 77th Division Associa-
ton, formed by the men of the divis-
ion, and particularly through the ef-
forts of Major Spencer F. Weaver.
Major Weaver is chairman of the ex
ecutlve committee, and has been sent
to New York as the advance agent of
the association and the division.
Major Weaver has his Office tempo
rarlly at 420 Park Avenue, where he
has installed neat cabinets of index
cards which show what kind of work
every man In the 77th can do best.
where each worked last and where ali
but $500 of them are going to work
as soon as they are mustered out.
Within few days he will open per-
manent office and proceed with the Job
finding and other work which the 77th
DIVISION Association has designated as
its own.
wv 1Oin, tHO lfiO5L generous city
in the world, is going to take care Of
her own soldiers first of ALL" said
Major Weaver yesterday. "She is
proud of what they did over there
She has watched their progress in the
newspapers, but has not yet heard the
real story of their heroism. saw
these New York soldiers fighting, and
General Pershing's toast to the Ameri
can army at the American Clubs
Washington's Birthday luncheon in
Paris sums up what they did and
what they are.
"The spirit shown by the New York
doughboy was SO fine that it should be
kept alive always as an invisible mon
ument to what New York City did in
the greatest war in world history and
what she will always do for her coun-
try. Therefore these New York dough-
boys should not only be put to work
when they get back, but they should
have clubhouse of their own. where
wounded men and those more fortu-
nate of the 77th Division can meet and
help one another and talk over those
times, when by his courage, his in
domitable will, his splendid organiza-
ton and his tenacity the New York
soldier helped turn impending defeat
into overwhelming victory"

$4,000 Army Weddings
Baked by French La,U

rAMP DIX, N. j., Feb. %
- French law presented a bar
rier between the marriage of at
least $4,000 American soldiers
and French girls, according to
estimates of overseas officers re-
turning here, who say that at
least that number of interna-
tlonal romances were either per-
manently blasted or indefinitely
postponed because the Americans
could not produce official birth
certificates. The French require
the birth certificate as a pre-
liminary to issuing a marriage
licenses, and as these certificates
were items omitted from the
overseas equipment of our fight
ers, Dan Cupid's efforts were
baked in scores of cases.
I'm a few cases the soldier
managed to get the folks at home
to find his birth record and have
an officially attested copy mailed
to him." said an officer. "The
home folks, however, apparently
opposed entangling matrimonial
alliances, even with a fair ally,
and many youthful pairs have
had to wait until the soldier can
come home, get his own birth
credentials and 60 back to France
for his bride or send for her to
join him here"

BORDEAUX, Feb. 23.-Of the 100
600 American soldiers quartered in the
Bordeaux area probably 99,99S want to
60 home on the next boat The pres
ent rate of embarkaton is about 35. 900
weekly, but that is not fast enough for
those waiting their turn.
When the doughboys are inland wait
ing at classification camps, like Staie-
nan, the delay in getting started
seems to them endless. But when thew
are camped on the bank of the Gironde,
watching the big transports move
down stream headed for America,
their impatience is aggravated, par
ticularly in the case of men who have
been leading the soldiers life amid
French mud. SO it was in the two
large camps l visited to-day west of
the Gironde and south of Bordeaux.
At Genecart camp there are 10000
awaiting embarkation. All are quar-
tered in barracks that are fairly com

halls at long tables. The food is plen-
tiful, and at one kitchen I tasted the
excellently cooked dinner, including
ham and doughnuts.
Troops Chafe at
Strict Confinement
There is little sickness in this camp,
but the feeling of confinement is per-
haps accentuated by the high fence
topped by formidable barbed wire. The
soldiers comprising the regular camp
personnel get a halliday leave in
twenty. which seems to be very little
70 hberty-loving Americans, with
large and attractive city like Bordeaux
only few miles away.
Soldiers awaiting embarkation get
no leave, because they have been
checked, examined for disease, de-
loused and prepared for the homeward
voyage, and many things might hap
pen If they were allowed to go to
Bordeaux, not the least Of which
would be absence at rollcall and miss
ing the boat.
l talked with numbers of men who
suggested that an American army
could be raised only by draft in the
next war, but this was only soldier
talk. l heard of one doughboy who
had cut off toe in order to go home
the quicker via the hospital route. But
