Heavy Casualties Laid
to Bungling Officers in
War Department Probe

Washington, July 16. American
soldiers in France were "of superb
spirit, but bit groggy as an Army"
when the armistice was signed, House
war investigating committee was told
yesterday by Colonel Fred L. Huide-
koper. formerly adjutant of the 33d
(Illinois) Division.
"Bungling" by officers also increased
the American casualties, the witness
said. Replying to Representative Flood
Democrat, Virginia, Colonel Huide-
koper said the American officers failed
to profit by the experience of the Brit
ish, French and Germans and were
"conceited and cocksure" He also
complained of poor staff work." add
ing that General Pershing did not Sc
lect the ablest staff officers"
Colonel Huidekoper said he was as
founded by statement made to him
last January by Colonel Cowan. of
general headquarters. that the trans
portation situation on the battle front
was so bad that the American Army
could not have kept on month longer
and that If the Germans had not stop
ped, the Americans would have been
forced to. Colonel Cowan had been
sent out to inspect the .33d Division
II naturally assumed that he had
ample justification for such a state

ment," said the witness.
French officers" Colonel Huide-
koper added, were of the opinion that
American troops were not given the
shelter and care that should have been
given men," Replying to Chairman
Johnson, of South Dakota, the witness
declared he would not say that 1.-The
high command paid no attention to
sheltering the common soldiers"
Troops Withdraw From Action
Questioned as to lack of co-opera-
ton between the American and Brit
ish high commands. Huidekoper told of
two incidents when. he said, the COM
mander of his division had been called
upon to explain why American troops
were used by the British, once at
HameI, July 4. 1918. and again on
August 9. at Chippy Ridge. Ten COM
panies of American infantry had been
assigned for the Hamel action, he
said but six were withdrawn by Gen.
eral Pershing. Orders withdrawing
the other four followed. but too late
to keep them out of action.
Huidekoper also criticised the sep
aration of American infantry from
the artillery with which 1t had trained.
Colonel Huidekoper said the 33d
Division had 5000 casualties In the
Meuse- -Argonne battle, and that fall
ure to get better artillery support at
the main German defense line in
creased the divisions losses.

PENNSYLVANIA'S GOOD ROADS
TO BE ADVERTISED OVER WEST
Army officer in Charge of Transport Train Pays High Com
pHment; Puts Big Sign Trucks

Only one accident marred the pas
sage through Pennsylvania last
week of the giant transcontinental
convoy of army. trucks. on it's way
from Washington to San Francisco
Army officers, officials of the Lin
coin Highway Association and the
observers with the train expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
the condition of Pennsylvania roads,
according to NJ. III. James, chief of
the Highway Departments Bureau
of Information and Statistics, who
accompanied the train from the
Maryland to the Ohio line.
The one accident occurred last
Thursday afternoon, ten miles east
of Greensburg. There was a very
heavy thunderstorm. In the midst
of it lightning struck tree fifty
yards ahead of one of the army
trucks. The top of the tree came
down into the highway. The men
on the truck jumped for safety.
neglecting to shut off the power. The
truck continued on its way for a
hundred feet. Trees lined the left
side of the road in such a manner
that except for a space of ten feet
it would have been impossible for
the truck to get off the road. The
truck headed for this ten feet of
clearway and plunged to the bottom
of deep gully, turning over sew
eral times, and was completely
wrecked.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-07-16

Mr.. James and w. S. Hammaker,
an inspection engineer for the High
way Department, accompanied the
ID ain from the Maryland line to
East Palestine, o. The latter point
was reached by the convoy Satur-
day noon. The outfit was having
considerable trouble with motors;
and when the Highway Department
men said goodbye to the rear
guard" that section of the convoy
had just passed Darlington. and 1t
consisted of huge Militaire truck
with five very large transports in
tow. Despite the load the 125-horse-
power Militaire was making good
time. At Wooster. o., Sunday, the
machinists put all the trucks in con-
dition for this weeks run through
Ohio.
So pleased was Colonel Charles w.
Mcclure with the condition of Penn
Eylvania roads that he had large
banner placed on the canvas cover
ing of one of the transports. 1t is
ten feet long, and reads:
pennsylvania Gave This Convoy
a GOOD Road. Pennsylvania Dur
ing the Next Four Years Will Spend
$3.50, 100000 For Road Improvements"
That sign will be an eyeopener to
the eleven States we will pass
through on the way to San Fran
CISCO" said Colonel Mcclure. "If
we had roads all the way like we
had in Pennsylvania this trip would
be a picnic"

which suits may be brought against
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
providing for service of process
therein and defining the liability of
the Commonwealth in such suits.
eff this bill were approved it
would subject the Commonwealth to
suits in assumpsit upon contrac cts,
express or implied, which were made
before or after its approval, and to
suits in trespass to recover damages
for injuries to persons or property,
or for death, whether the injuries
suffered or the death occurred
either before or after the approval
thereof.
1T provides that the statute of
limitations shall begin to run
against the right to sue at the date
of such approval. This not only
valves the sovereignty of the Com
monwealth, but submits the Com
monwealth to liability for suits in
contracts that were executed many
years ago, in which the officers
charged with the execution of such
contracts may have died, and to ac-
tions in trespass for injury or death.
of which the Commonwealth may
have had no notice, and no means
of ascertaining the facts. 1t there
fore puts the Commonwealth in q
worse position than any individual
or private corporation, with respect
TO litigation.
"As to private corporations or in
dividuals, suits in assumpsit must
he brought within six years after
the claim arises, and suits for death
or for injuries to the person, within
one or two years, respectively, after
the occurrence. If this bill be-
came a law, suits in assumpsit could
be brought within siA years after the
approval of the act and in trespass
for injury to the person or death,
within one or two years thereafter,
as the case may be, without regard
to when the cause of action arose."
The Governor also vetoed the bill
to allow r. B. Taylor, of Bellefonte,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-07-16

to sue the State for damages claimed
in highway operation on the
ground that it would be special
legislation and that the act of 1911
provides a method for collection of
claims.
The bill authorizing fourth class
districts to provide residences for
school principals, teachers or jani-
tors was vetoed as "a dangerous de-
parture from the conservative ad-
ministration of our public school
system"
other vetoes included the bill
relative to conveyances of realty by
married women on the ground that
it would cause confusion in this sub
ject of the law and that other proVl-
sions would be unconstitutional.
The bill allowing county treas
urers to retain ten cents of each
hunters license was vetoed because
it would mean the creation of
mixed system of compensation" and
be in opposition to the policy of pay
ing county officials salaries.
Other bills were vetoed because
covered by existing acts or as spe-
cial legislation.

This wall had been built to hold

number of homes, and which face
in Fifth street. The wall is ap-
, proxmately 800 feet long. The de-
! stroyed portion was of sandstone
base with about three feet of con-
crete on the top. A number of wires
were torn down and sewers damaged
| by the slide of the wall.
Subway Is Flooded
The Market Street subway was
FLOODED with water within a few
minutes after the storm broke and
the waters attained a depth of four
feet, filling the subway for the first
time in four years. Street car traffic
through the subway was blockaded
for more than half-hour and was
forced to detour.
Cameron Parkway was largely
damaged and will be closed for sew
eral days. A number of embank-
ments were washed down and COW

WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Womans power in America is well
illustrated by the thousands of wom-
en- who entered almost every line of
business to replace men who were
drafted during the war. Health
proved their strongest asset. Many
women, however. developed weak,
nervous conditions and could not
stand the strain of a business life.
Such women should remember there
is one tried and true remedy in
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. which for forty-five years
has been restoring health and
strength to the women of America.
