Demand Grows for Smaller

Truck production figures issued by the National Auto

to favor the of greater number of lighter trucks rather

Geo. Philip, Jr., Mayor


Hays, Kans., Dec. 10, 1918.
Hon Chas. Curtis, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:=I attended a party last
evening at which there was a young
officer who has spent great deal of
time in Washington, DIG. During the
conversation this officer told all pres
ent that Great Britain charged U. S.
$4,000 per man for carrying them
across and that they (Great Brittany
were going to charge US $4,000 per
man for bringing them home. He
also said that we had to pay France
trench rent and that if during an at
tack the Americans happened to de-
stroy tree or anything else they had
to pay for it or rather it would be
charged up to US. He also said the
American boys were held up at every
turn in the road by the store keepers,
charging them double for every thing
they bought.
told the officer had been in fav-
Or of cancelling our debt against
France as I felt they had fought our
fight for at least two years and he
said that won't be necessary, if the
war had lasted another year we would
have been in debt to France instead
of them to US.
1 then told the officer that that
kind of talk sounded very much like
German propaganda and would
L L. -
l repeated it to any one and he assur-
ed me it was absolutely true and said
some man by the name of Boyd told
him and gave US to understand Boyd
knew what he was talking about.
Please look this matter up and let
me hear from you.
Yours truly,

WAR DEPARTMENT.
Purchase, Storage and Traffic Div

Purchase, Storage and Traffic Divis-
ion, General Staff
Washington, D. c., Jan. 3, 1919.
Mr.. Geo. Philip, Mayor, Hays, Kans.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of Decem-
Der 10, 1913, directed to Senator
Curtis. relative to statement made
by an officer of the Army concerning
certain alledged charges against the
Government of the United States for
transporting troops to and from
Europe and other services, has been
transmitted to me for attention.
The statement that the British
Government charged the United
States $4,000 for transporting each
man to Europe, and will charge $165
for returning them is not based upon
facts. The rate of compensation to
be allowed the British for transport
ing troops over seas or returning
them has not been determined, and
when it is, it will not nearly approx
mate the above rate.
The civilian population who are so
unfortunate as to be within the thea
tire of military operation are, and in
justice should be, reimbursed for in
cidental damage to private property
on an equitable basis and the other
charges referred to in your letter are
ridiculously absurd, unreasonable and
without foundation. The Govern
ments associated with the United
States have placed at its disposition
every facility within reason, in many
instances gratuitously, for the well
fare and comfort of the Army.
The civilian population of these
nations have been equally considerate
in their dealings and treatment of the
individuals of the American Army.
Your bringing this matter to the
attention of the War Department is
very much appreciated, and 1 should
be glad if you would send me the
name of the officer who made this
statement.
Very respectfully,
Geo. W. Goethals,
Major General, Assistant Chief of
Staff, Director of Purchase, Storage
and Traffic.

PRESIDENT BUSY
 IN PRIVATE OFFICE:
 PREPARING PAPER
Believed Wilson Will Sup port Some Proposition of League of Nations in
 Statement
By Associated Press

Paris, February 2.-Presiueht
 Wilson spent most of yesterday
 morning at work In his private or
 flee. Instead of nyaiiinE himself
 of the services of stenoGrapher,
 lie applied himself asSeduOusly to
 the typewriter. which is taken ns
 .n indication that he was prepnr-
 ing some paper requiring the
 most thoughtful possible cOpxid-
 eratiOn.
 As it is known to be the plan Of the American delegation to rush for ward plans for the creation of so- ciety of nations it is assumed the President, who is a member Of the special commission charged with that project. was engaged in the prepara tion of some sort of statement sup porting some one proposition or gen. eral scheme.
 The American delegates inclined to the belief that the most serious obsta- cle will be found in insistence by over zealous advocates upon extreme methods to enforce peaceful settlement of disputes. It is understood the American delegation will give their support to the plans of General smut and Lord Cecil with the addition of a few of the ideas advanced by Leon the French prota gonist of a league
