DECOYS TO ROB
Startling State of Affairs at
French Front Told of
By Major.

New York, Dec. 25.-Murders and
robberies committed in Lemans by
gangs of American and French SOL
diers, using women as decoys, were
described by Maj. George Armstrong

who is charged with cruelty to pris-
cners while directing criminal inves-
tigation work in Lemans.
Major Armstrong testified that he
had direct charge of 200 military
policemen in Lemans from August,
1918, until January, 1919, and that
during this period 100000 Ameri-
cans passed through the area.
A large lawless element was at
work, he said, and while he was in
Lemans Is murders were committed
and chateaux robbed of thousands Of
dollars worth of rnishings. "
The thugs, he said, were known
as the River gang" Chateau
gang" "Jewelry gang and other
designations denoting their "spe-
eialty." .."
All the thugs. he said, were ar
rested by the military police and are
now serving sentences of two to Is
years. Notwithstanding the char
acter of the men with whom they
had to deal, he said. all M. P.'s in
the area were ordered not to strike
prisoners except in self-defense.

summer, President Wilson and the,

Gently renewed their demands. They
were asked to await an official re-
port by Attorney General Palmer,
since made public, of the trend Of
prices.
Mr.. Palmer's. report showed that
the customary upward march of
prices during the fall months had
been much less this year than in
the past, and expressed the convic-
ton that the next two months would
show substantial results in reducing
the imitation of living costs. The
cost of living question, therefore,
still is unsettled in the minds of high
government officials and will not be
