before courtmartial.
Gen. Harris since the early part of

Paris, where thousands OF brutaliti-

rooms in the building where soldiers
accused Of being absent without leave
and of other military misdemeanors
were imprisoned. Sometime they
were crowded in there so closely that
they could not rest.

MEN ACCUSED HARRIS,

Repr cSentativc Johnson said that in
personal conversations with men in
France he had been told that the re-
sponslbiilty for many Of the inhu-
manitics could be traced to Brig. Gen.
Harris and Col. Grinstead.
"A number Of army officers OF high
rank have told me personally that
some Of the responsibility rested on
these two officers who were in charge
OF prisons, but until all Of the evil
dence has been taken and carefully
considered l can make no report" he
said.
The men were starved abused ana
beaten in every conceivable way.
said Representative Johnson.
Tho prisons were conducted with
willful disregard to the rights OF
officers an men. The evidence which
the committee obtained proved con-
clusiVcly that some one Of higher
rank than a lieutenant was RESPONSE
bic for the conditions.
One of the worst cases was the
case of lieutenant who had his Jaw
broken by blow from a sergeant.
The officer was kept in prison for
more than a week before any medicar
attention was given him by those IN
charge Of the prison.
COLONEL SENT TO KITCHEN
Another case which was brought
to our attention was that of a full
colonel who was forced to do kitch-
en- police duty for week for no reas
on at ali.
The committee took thousands OF
pages Of testimony on this subject,
but as yet can say nothing of the
findings" said Mr. Johnson. "a force

Mr.. Johnson said that it would
probably be six or eight months at
least before the report could be mado
ready for the printer.

tional charges of Representative
Bland.

They would be kept there in that
condition FOR two days at a time be
fore being sent to the prison camp,
There were some criminals in there
and men with diseases, and they
were crowded together with good
clean American boys under conditions
which were indcscribablc The men
had no sleeping accommodation and
sanitary conditions were nauseating.
Complaints wore made and reports
laid on Gen. Harts' desk but still he
did nothing to alleviate the condi-
ton"
Representative Bland declared that
treatment such as accorded Ameri-
can soldiers has never been known
before in the history OF the Ameri-
can army and copies OF reports and
testimony OF court martial officers
and inspectors had been obtained by
the congressional committee, which
would enable the committee to def
nitely fix responsibility.
Gen. Strong and Col. Grinstcad are
directly responsible for the cruclties
perpctratod at the notorious prison
farm No. 3 said Mr.. Bland.
Representative Bland also declared
that army property in France was
destroyed by order Of army officers,
while the French were negotiating
for its purchase. Mr.. Band said that
alrplanes, automobiles, clothing, shoes
and blankets were among the things
destroyed.
I was told that airplanes and au-
tomobiles destroyed were in such con
dition that they could not be in any
way useful, but have proof to show
that airplanes and automobiles were
taken under their own power to Ger

Gen. Harris was declard by Repre-

caused more sorrow, misery and
heartachcs in the American Army in
France than any other officer in the
army. Con. Harris, said Mr.. Bland,
