.PERSH|NG REFUSES
TO TESTIFY BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE
CONGRESSMEN IN PARIS ASKED
GENERAL TO TELL RBOUT
WAR EXPENDITURES

Paris, Aug, S0.--Oeneral Pershing has
refused TO testify before the subcom
mittee of three of the congressional
committee on expenditures by the war
department which has been conducting
an investigation in France.
The generals refusal led to the issu.
ance of joint statement this afternoon
by Representatives Royal C. Johnson
and Oscar f. Bland of the sub-commit.
tee, in which regret was expressed that
there should be conflict between the
military and civil authorities of the
government.
In n separate statement in which
Representative Johnson did not join
Mr.. Bland declared that the generals
action was an example of the indffer
ence and contempt" shown during the
entire war by the war department to.
ward the wish of the people and their
representatives.
Army Bigger Than Congress
Representative Bland's statement
reads:
IAN / care to say personally about
General Pershing's refusal to testify
before the congressional committee
and speak for myself alone--is that
he and his army are bigger than our
sergeant-at.arms of the house of rep
resentatives, and he, of course, can
avoid giving us the information we de.
sire. | think it is apparent that the
war department has during the entire
war shown its indifference and con
tempt for the wishes of the people and
their representatives, and this is only a
clear.cut, concrete example of that sen
timent.
For the time being we will try to
get along in our Investigations here
without General Pershing's aid"
General Pershing. on being shown the
statements issued by the members of
the committee, said that all the activ.
ties of the American eXpeditionary
forces were of course open to inveStiga-
tion, but that he found it impossible on
the last day of his stay in France to
comply with the request of the com
mittee, as all his records had been
shipped to the United States.
General Pershing declined to testify
on the ground that these records We're
not available. He was informed that
most of the questions to be propounded
would not require data. He then de

Presidents, deans and professors
of American colleges, east and

Besides the Inauguration. the reg

Let me give an instance of how
the machinery OF this camp works.
Last night between the hours of
6 p. m. and 10 p. m. 1900 enlisted
men arrived in this camp from
Nantes and it's neighborhod. These
men were fed, new equipment was
issued them, they received their
final medical inspection, had a hot
shower bath, then a comfortable
nights sleep, and were on a boat
and ready to sail for home before
o'clock this morning. And those
of US who were not actually in that
small sector of the camp which
they occupied last night did not
know that they were here. Sounds
simple, doesn't it, when outlined
in cold type. Yet if you had the
time and the inclination to out
line in your own mind the many
cOgs which have been constantly
turning both at home and in
-Sn or hn1 hcs
into the ring, the motive power of
which has been the desire to get
this 1900 men home to their fam
lilies as soon as possible, and the
coordination of which has resulted
in the delicate machinery of this
and the other embarkation camps
in France, there would come into
your mind the dawn of apprecia-
ton for the greatness of that I'm
Gle whom the doughboys call
Sam
THE chief trouble has been that
you folks back home have taken
our complaints too seriously. You
proud fathers, and loving mothers,
fond sisters and worshiping small
brothers, for whom We so smilingly
dohned our rubbers and raincoats,
and so bravely took our umbrellas.
before venturing out in the April
showers, you just will not remem-
Der that we are now grown men.
When We tell you of the storms we
are exposed to, you remember the
Group we had. When we tell you of
the snow and the cold, you remem-
Der those oVershOeS with the shiny
black clasps, and those little red
mittens fastened firmly to US by
the strings running up our coat
sleeves. When we tell you of our
army beans and army stews, you
remember how you used to fuss |
over our meals, and never cooked |
spinach green's, fond as you were |
of them, because we didn't like |
them. Please let us be grown up |
Our government has taken care of |
us most of the time. but, there have
been times over here when we have (
gloriously taken care OF ourselves,
and we do feel proud of our ability /
to do it when the occasion de-
mands. We are going to make !
some great demands on you when |
we get home. We are going to ask
you for baked hams, for custard I
pies, and cookies, but if you should
have baked beans, and prunes, and
hard bread, we shall eat just as
much of that, for we have learned
how to enjoy what we have.
