Mr.. Wilson's letter, which was made
public tonight by Representative Dali
niger, said:
THE White House, Washington,
July 25, 1919.
my Dear Mr.. Dallinger:
THE newspaper article to which
you refer in your letter to me of
July 2l 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 ission, substantiated the
charges of cruelty.

CORPORAL II. D. SHEPARD, Of the

four service stripes on his sleeves. He
went over with the first marines in
May, 1917, and has just returned. AT
present he is patient at the Brooklyn
Naval Hospital.
"Most Of my outfit is still overseas,
says this marine. "They were the first
to get across and they seem to be the
last coming back. Just dozen of our
they are here as patients.
"But none Of the fellows is kicking
They went in for action, and got more
Of it than any other outfit. Most of us
are glad, however, that it is all over
for we had just about enough. The
majority Of us, I guess, will head it
out of the marines and back home
again."

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.

for separate air service and not to
return it to the signal corps, both Of
