In. Loaded With Troops

The transport Edward Luckenbach

ported by wireless yesterday as dis
abled 500 miles east of this port. The

Coast Guard cutter Ossipee was sent
to her aid on Monday night from

Ships of the Luckenbach Line have

Army Officer Says
Transportation in
Front Line Failed
Col. Cowan, at Hearing in
Washington, Testifes US.
Army Was on Last Legs
When Truce Was Signed

WASHINGTON, July 15.-American
soldiers in France were "of superb
spirit, but a bit groggy as an army"
when the armistice was signed, House
war investigating committee was told
to-day by Colonel Fred L. Huidekoper.
formerly adjutant Of the 33d (Illinois) J
Division.
Colonel Huidekoper said he was
astounded by statement made to him
last January by a Colonel Cowan, of
General Headquarters, that the trans
portatlon situation on the battle front
was so bad that the American army
could not have kept on month longer
and that If tth Germans had not
stopped the Americans would have been
forced to. Colonel Cowan had been sent
out to inspect the 33d Division.
Il naturally assumed that he had
ample justification for such a state
ment," said the witness.
French officers" Colonel Huidekopsr
added, were of the opinion that Amer
lean troops were not given the shelter
men"
Questioned as to lack of cooperation
between the American and British high
commands, Huidekoper told of two in
cldents when, he said, the commando r
OF his division had been called upon to
explain why American troops were
used by the British, once at Hamel,
July 4, 1918, and again on August 9,
at Cheppy Ridge. Ten companies OF
American infantry had been assigned
tor the Hamel action, he said, but six
were withdrawn by General Pershing.
Orders withdrawing the other four fol-
lowed. but too late to keep them out
of action.
Huidekoper also criticized the sep
aratlon of American infantry from the
artillery with which it had trained. He
said the 33d Division had 5000 casual
ties in the Meuse-Argonne battle, and
that failure to get better artillery sup
port at the main German defense line
increased the divisions losses.
"Bungling' by officers also increased
the American casualties, the witness
said. Replying to Representative Flood
Democrat, of Virginia, Colonel Huide-
koper said'the American officers failed
to profit by the experiences of the
British, French and Germans and were
"conceited and cocksure" He com
planned of queer staff work." also that
General Pershing did not select the
ablest staff officers"

WASHINGTON, July 15.-In view of

Chairman Esch told the House Inter

that it would be useless to consider

"Mindful of the sentiment through
out the country on the question of gov
ernment ownership" the chairman
added, II think We should not spend
much time on that. There are many
problems to be worked out in the bill
for the return of the carriers which we
are taking up to-day, and in light of
the Presidents declaration to Congress
there is nothing to be gained by a dis

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 15.-A thor
oughgoing plan for the rehabilitation
Of Europe with the materials of Ameri-
can mines, mills and factories was pro-
posed to the Senate to-day by amend
ments to the Federal Reserve Act intro
duced by Senator Edge, Republican, of

The amendments provide for Federal
incorporation of one or more concerns
to handle the composite commercial
financial business of the American ex-
port trade. Not only may such cor
porations exercise the ordinary bank
ing functions, such as discounting and
negotiating notes and drafts and deal
ing in bills Of exchange, but they may
advance cash to foreign purchasers of
American exports on such security as
foreign manufacturing plants or SINH
lar collateral. Every step of such
transactions would be under the super
vision of the Federal Reserve Board.
