offer was rejected in view OF the
present shortage in the United States
The surplus property division has
just offered for sale 100000 pounds
of prunes, at warehouses in California,
Portland and Seattle, Wash, but the

times this amount.

estimated at 200,0OO,0O0 cans. The
canned goods were bought from hum
dreds of different manufacturers at

that as a result You had those in

that l may be able to learn from the
War Department the punishment
melted out to those guilty.
Very sincerely yours,
FREDERICK w. DALLINGkR."
Mr.. Wilson's letter, which was made
public tonight by Representative Dali
niger, said:
THE White House, Washington,
July Is, 1919.
my Dear Mr.. Dallinger:
THE newspaper article to which
you refer in your letter to me of
July 81 was entirely inaccurate.
Mrs. Wilson saw no evidence of
violence on the patent when she met
in Base Hospital No. 81, and her in
quiries brought out the fact that
whereas one of the prisons used
by the American army in Paris had
been delivered over to them in a
very bad condition, the conditions
had been rapidly corrected, and such
harsh treatment as had been prac-
ticed lin one or two instances had
been promptly checked.
Very sincerely yours,
''WOODROW WILSON,"
Representative Dnllingcr made no
upon the Presidents reply,
except to state that hundreds of form
er soldiers have written the commit
tee desiring to testify to brutalities
practised upon them in Paris prisons
without their being guilty of any of
fence
He also called attention to the fact
that General March had submitted re-
ports from France, which by General
March's admi ssion, substantiated the
charges of cruelty.

In case there is lack of cooperation in

is taken the situation will become even

tho army was ahead of schedule in de-
mobilization, adding that appropria-
hospital service until the sick could
not be properly cared for. The army
was down to 100000 by to-day's re-
ports, he said.
The department. has always planned
for separate air service and not to
return it to the signal corps, both Of
