bined with allegations of pecuniary
corruption, against many members of
the Royal Air Corps and the Women's
Auxiliary Aid Corps assigned to the air
force were brought to light by an un-
usually stormy debate in the House of
Lords last night which ended in the
defeat Of the government in a vote
over the question of appointing a Sc
lect committee to examine into the cir
cumstances connected with the dis
missal of Miss Violet Douglas Pennant.
former commandant of the Women's s
Auxiliary Aid Corps.
The motion was made by Lord STAN
hope, who directed attention to the gov
ernment's repeated refusal to grant a
judicial inquiry into the matter.

t~rbation on the government bench.

Apparently the dispute hinges on the
defence Of Miss Pennant, who was sum-

the alleged misconduct on large scale,

Dean Attacks Unions
In speech tonight at a meeting of
the Peoples League, which was insti-
tuted Tor the protection Of the unor-
ganized classes, the Very Rev. William
Ralph lnge, Dean Of st. Pauls, said:
=" We are making for national bank
ruptcy, which will result in anarchy"
He declared he was not hostile to
trade unions. but that they had become
huge capitalistic concerns, which were
engaged in financing raids upon the
people.

tween rich and poor" he continued; at
is open brigandage against the COM

class, determined that those privileges
shall not go outside themselves. They
are shutting down employment, not
only against discharged soldiers but
wounded men"
Francis M. B. Fisher, director of the

Farewell Tour
OF War Front
Reviews Composite Battalion
in Paris Before Start
ing Final Visit to the
Occupied . d Territories

PARIS, July 81 (By The Associated
Press). Prior to his departure for
Coblenz tonight, where tomorrow he
is to begin his "valedictory" tour of
German occupied territory, first visit
ing the American troops and then the
French and British zones, General
Pershing this afternoon received the
American newspaper correspondents in
his Paris home.
General Pershing talked with the
correspondents on various subjects
the American dead buried in France
against the removal of which he said
he would advise; the preparations that
aye lAe;cg 'sa1e for the American troops
to leave France. and concerning the re-
lease of the $4,000 German prisoners
held by the American army.
After his reception of TIE correspond
ents General Pershing reviewed the
famous American composite battalion
which represented the American Ex-
tile Day parade and in London at the
victory day celebration. The review
which probably will prove the last
official American military ceremony in
France, took place .on the famous
parade ground in the Bois de Vincen-
nes. Large crowds viewed the evolu-
tions and accorded the troops a hearty
reception.
Crowds Cheer Troops
For the review this afternoon in the
Bois de Vincennes great crowds had
gathered, although no official notice
that the review would be held had been
published. The spectators cheered the
splendid battalion of picked men as il

Hugh c. Wallace, the American Am
bassador, stood at General Pershings
right during the review. When the
ceremony ended the crowds pushed
forward and surrounded General Per

him on the back Many women held

In declaring that he did not favor
the removal of the American dead buried
IN France, General Pershng said he was
arranging for a conference with the
American artists with view to max
ing plans for the Identification of per
manent cemeteries and the erection Of
monuments TO the American soldiers.
Inc commander in chief spoke with
some emphasis, saying he felt that as
the men had fought and died in France
they should lie in France. He SAID he
he did, and that the presence Of the
American dead in their soil would al
ways be reminder of how the two ma
tons had fought together He added
that each year there would be official
representation at Memorial Day cele-
brations.
Gepcral Pershing said the task Of
assembling the American dead in ma
Nonal cemeteries was progressing zap
idly and satisfactorily, notwithstand-
great difficulties encountered. The per-
manency OF the American cemeteries
was absolutely assured. he asserted. A
general scheme for their identification,
devised by an artists commission,
would be submitted to the War De-
partment and probably special com
mission would be created to take over
the work of caring for the graves,
maintenance of the burial groun Is and
the upkeep of monuments
1t was his opinion, General Pershing
declared that the $4,000 German pris-
oners held by the American army might
be released as soon as the German
peace treaty is ratified by three Of the
great powers. He did not believe il
would be necessary to await ratification
Of the treaty by the United States
Senate.
General Pershing expects to depart
for the United States early in Sep
tember.
