So, as her soul was set on the Burg

children were slain in a manner that left
no outer sign of violence. Then, the
story says, she went back to bed and

Paris papers that American soldiers
were connected with 81 murders,
220 day and night assaults and
nearly 500 serious fights. today
shocked the war department and
brought instant decision to investi-
gate the alleged American crime
wave.
Secretary Baker said that the sit
uation pictured in the Matin and
ntransigeant seemed Incredible"
especially as official reports from
France to the department had made
no mention of sucil crimes.
Officers here say that if the situation
was i'll fact as grave as the Paris papers
indicated, undoubtedly the American of
ficials in Paris We're fully advised and
already had e1erted themselves TO cor
rect it. The officers were inclined to
believe. however, that some of the fig
ures given by the papers IN Paris were
based only m suspicious that Americans
We're involved.
Believe T acts Exaggerated.
It was said at the department that
disturbances nf i minor character were
to be expected where many men, for the
moment under close military restraint,
were involved, but s,ncgthc figures given
by the French papers indicated most
serious situation. a detailed report prob
ably would be asked Of General pershing

his command have been proved to he in
