PERSHING DENIES
REPORT OF CRIME
Stories of Offenses by u. S.
Soldiers in Paris Are
Gross Exaggerations'
POLICING is EXCELLENT
Pay System Enables Men to
Get Money Due-None
Is PenniIess

Washington. Feb. 1.-tBy A. p. )-Gen-
eral Pershng. in an official telegram to
Secretary Baker today, characterized
the sensational reports in French news
papers OF assaults and burglaries hav-
ing been committed in Paris by Ameri-
can soldiers as gross exaggerations" ="
Inc number of crimes committed by
American soldiers. he said, was almost
negligible considering the large number
of men in Paris and It's vicinity. He
recommended that fun refutation of
the charges be put before the American
public.
Since the conclusion of the srmistice,
the report added. Paris has offered at
traction TO men mischievously and crm-
inally inclined. and this has resulted in
minor disturbances, but the American
military police organization is excellent
and disorders are kept at a minimum.
General Pershngs Cablegram was
made public by the department. II fol-
lows
In reference to your telegram, No.
2bIO. a personal knowledge Cf the Condi-
tons and an invest igation since the re-
celpt OF your telegram shows that the
sensational reports as TO assaults and
burgiaries by American soldiers are
gross eNaggerations. Grimes by Amer
lean soldiers in Paris are almost negligl-
BILE, considering the large number Cf men
in the vicinity The same may be said
as to conditions throughout France.
Since the conclusion Of the armistice,
Paris offers attractions to men mischieV-
ously and criminally inclined Naturally,
there are minor disturbances in Paris.
but the American military police organ
iZatiCu Is excellent and these disorders
are kept at q minimum
None Of these are traceable in any
respect to faulty pay system No penni-
less soldiers are found in Paris. There
are individual cases of delayed payment,
due to change in pay system. which
took place during hostilities The new
pay system enables a soldier to get pay
from paymaster when money Is due him.
Generally speaking. the pay has been
almost always correct. The pay depart
ment has been sending officers to find
casuals at our hospitals and elsewhere
with directions to pay men whose rec
| ords are entirely lost
Full refutation of the charges made
! garding crimes and disorders in Paris
| cannot he put too strongly before the
American public
