Stories of Crimes nv
L. 5. Troops in arts
Official Dispatch Declares
reports Are Exaggerated
Soldiers Being Given
Pay Regularly, He States

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1-Genera1
Pershlng, in an official telegram to
Secretary Baker, to-day characterized
the sensational reports in French
newspapers of assaults and burglaries
having been committed in Paris by
American soldiers as gross exaggera-
tons"
The number of crimes committed by
American soldiers, he said, was almost
negligible considering the large num-
Der of men in the vicinity He recon-
mended that full refutation of the
charges be put before the American
public
Since the conclusion of the armistice,
the report added. Paris has offered at
fractions to men mischievously and
crimlnally inclined. and this has re-
suited in minor disturbances, but the
American military police organization
IS excellent and disorders are kept at
a minimum.
General Pershing's cablegram> was
made public by the department. 1t
follows:
in reference your telegram No.
2o7O. personal knowledge of condi-
lions and investigation shows that
sensational reports as TO assaults and
burglaries by American soldiers are
gross exaggerations. Crimes by Amer
lcan soldiers in Paris are almost neg
ligible, considering the large number
of men in the vicinity. The same may
be said as to conditions through
France
"Since the conclusion of the armis
tlce Paris offers attraction to men mis-
chievously and criminally inclined
Naturally there are minor disturbances
IN Paris. But the American military
police organization is excellent, and
these disorders are kept at a minimum
"None of these are traceable in any
respect to faulty pay systems. No
penniless soldiers are found in Paris.
There are individual cases of DELAYED
payment due to q change in pay sys-
tenn, which took place during hostili-
ties: The new pay system enables a
soldier to get pay from paymaster
when money IS due him. Generally
speaking, the pay has been almost al
ways correct. The Pay Department. has
been sending officers to find casuals at
our hospitals and elsewhere with in
structions to pay men whose records
are entirely lost.
Full refutaton of the charges made
regarding crimes and disorders in
Paris cannot be put too strongly be-
fore the American public"

mems Council has evidenced its inten-
ton 10 bring about an election of a
new central council composed solely
Of radicals. Independent Socialists
and adherents of the elements of the
Left realize that the system of Sol
dlers' and Workmen's Councils will be
abolished as soon as the National AS
scmbly meets and are resorting to
measures for meeting that cont;n-
gency.
The setting up OF governmental
authority by the National Assembly is
expected and the radicals, being con-
vlnced that the Russian example of
dispensing their Constituent Assembly
cannot be successfully initiated, are
planning to meet force with force.
BASEL, Jan. 31--At the conference
between the finance ministers of the
various Independent states of Germany,
Which was concluded yesterday at
Weimar, there was, it is reported, a
unanimous conviction that the urgent
needs of Germany must be met to a.
certain extent by the independent
states. For this purpose it was held
that they must have al the financial
liberty that is necessary to carry out
their task, according to . dispatch
from Berlin.

German Troops
In Open Revolt
Against Chief
Councils Announce Refusal
to Obey Prussian Minister
of Wars r. Regulations
Aimed at Soldiers Rule
Crisis Threatened at Bremen
as Workers Decide 10
Oppose Troops Demand

BERLIN, Jan. 81 (By The Associated
Press An order issued bv Colonel
Relnhardt, Prussian Minister of War,
has aroused open revolts on the part
of soldiers councils in the German
armies. The council Of the Ninth army
has declared that it will not obev the
order and has been informed that the
government will find means to enforce it.
The order of Colonel Reinhardt con-
Germs lessening Of the authority of
the soldiers councils.
Up to this time the councils of many
or most of the armies have been exer-
clsing virtually compete control, even
IN matters of command, and the order
was received generally with dissatis-
faction, it being declared by some that
the government was playing squarely
into the hands of the Bolsheviki.
The first open revolt came from the
soldiers council of the 9th Army
Corps, which sent delegates to Gustav
Noske, the military commander of Bcr
lin. with the demand that the order be
rescinded. Herr Noske refused, where
upon the delegation informed him that
the order would not be obeyed in their
army. Noske replied that the govern
ment would find means to enforce it.
Councils Up in Arms
The government. it is believed, how
ever, will have very busy time if it
attempts to enforce the order. The
as a great number of local councils al
ready have given notice that the order
will not be obeyed
The council at Lubbock, to whom a
colonel was sent by the government
to discuss the matter, ordered the
colonel to leave the city within twenty
four hours. The officers of pioneer
battalion at Harburg resigned owing
to the attitude of the council On the
day after the publication of the order
200 soldiers from the garrison at Allen
stein paraded the streets with a pla-
card inscribed: Down with the Of
ficers." Officers were stopped in the
streets at revolver points and their
shoulder straps torn off. One officer
who resisted was stabbed fatally.
Numerous instances of illegal actions
on the part of the councils, apart from
dlsobedience to the order of the War
Minister, arc reported. The Soldiers
Council at Coburg issued a warning
signed to protect the Eastern frontier.
The Workmen's Council at Steele,
Rhenish Prussia, "forbids the recruit
ing OF volunteers for any troops" The
Council of the 18th Army Corps at
Dresden has issued similar order.

BANKERS TO PROFIT
i ON VICTORY NOTES
New York Men Agree to
Charge 4 3-4 Per Cent on
/. lnstaIIment Purchases.
OTHERS LIKELY TO Do so
BY I. A. FLEMING.

New YORK city bankers on the lDer-
ty loan committee have taken the
lead in reaching an agreement to
charge ~ per cent interest for six
months on the victory liberty loan
per cent, purchased on the INSTALL
ment plan.
1t is more than likely that other
bankers will do the same thing. as it
is the first time, in connection with
the liberty loans, that there has been
any opportunity for making even a
fraction of profit in carrying liberty
issues for the benefit of installment
buyers.
The chance for small profit is offered
by the fact that the notes are col
lateral for discount at the federal re-
serve banks at AZ per cent.
1t is possible that there may be an
increase in this rate, although the
matter was brought up for considera
ton at the New York reserve bank on
Tuesday, without ordering a change.
Last Conversion Call.
On the Gath of this month all con-
version rights that attach to 3h per
cent liberty loan bonds will cease.
Under the conversion terms holders
of 3As, tax-free bonds. were given
six months from October "a. 1918. to
convert their bonds into first liberty
loan second converted ANS of 1924.
This conversion privilege has no re-
lation to As of either the first convert
ed or second loan bonds.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
omnd will not receive the 3hs for
conversion after ADril "a
As matter of fact. there is such a
difference in going prices in favor OF
the unconverted 31es that there is no
good reason for any one having them
making the trade at actual cost of
more than S. on the hundred-dollar
bond
Holiday Tomorrow.
The New York. London and Washing
ton stock exchanges and all other or
ganiZed cotton and grain exchanges will
be closed all day tomorrow. Good Fri
day.
Farm Land Bank Loans.
Up to the first of the present month
the federal land bank districts had ad-
vanced to farmers S19S, Cos, ,626, loaned to
7s.s4s borrowers. The Spokane district
leads all others with loans of s2s, SOC, 900,
