Paris, Jan. 80, (by the Associated
Press. )--That Apaches of all nation
alities dressed in American uniforms
were mainly responsible for the acts
of violence which have caused broad
east publicity to be given to an al
legged American crime wave In Paris
was shown by an investigation con-
Quoted by The Associated Press to-
day.
II was further ascertained that as
saults and hold-ups are infintestimal
in number rs compared with the pub
lished figures Of the crime wave, ex
listing nearly exclusively in the vivid
imagination of sensational local
newspapers.
An opportunity was presented to
verify at police headquarters figures
respecting crimes of last December.
Thirty -four murders charged to
Americans were discredited and
dwindled to two; 244 hold-ups and
assaults were reduced by 80 per cent.
There have been numerous fistic
encounters, however, but they were
mostly between Americans-old fash
ioned rough and tumble braWs SUCH
as arrests are rarely made for in
American cities where. for the most
part, the pugnacious ones would
merely be requested by the police to
go home or go to Europe if YOU
want to fight"
Brigader General William w.
Harts of the United States army, in a
statement today says:
THE reports concerning the large
number of murders by American SOL
diers in Paris are untrue, They are
greatly exaggerated. The number of
military police in Paris has been in
creased merely because Of the great
er number of soldiers passing through
the city, not because of unusual dis
orders. The statistics show that the
American soldiers are maintaining
their high standard of discipline in
every detail wherever they may be"

PRESIDENT WILSON
WINS ANOTHER POINT.

London, Jan. 30.--Great Britain's
reported acceptance of President
Wilson's theory of Internal 'onaliza-
ton as applied to captured enemy
colonies, says the Paris correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, in a late edi-
tion of that paper today, involves the
admission that the treaties with ia
pan regarding the islands in the nor
thern Pacific and with the Arabs re-
garding Syria and the understanding
with France as to the future status of
the kamerun must he arbitrarily
modified If not torn IN.
THE japanese delegates are angry
and alarmed and declare their unal-
terable determination to claim the is
lands. as promised" the correspond
ent says, and adds:
These islands are really the cruX
of the whole situation"
'''The Australians" the correspond
ent continues, believe President Will
sons firm stand Gin this matter is due
to his fear that Japanese occupation
of the islands would impair his pres
tige in the United states and that he
fears to meet hostile congress in
March If he agrees to the absolute
retention of the islands by Japan.
'"Ital'an DELEGATES frankly avow
their claims to Fiume and insist that
the promise Of part Of the Dalmatian
coast stipulated in the pact of Lon
don must be made good They de-
clare that President Wilson's attitude
regarding Fiume directly contradicts
his declaration of the rights of pco-
pies. outlined in his Fourteen

Washington Jan. 30.-Correspond-
ence between Col Il. NJ, House. as the
American representative of the su-
preme war council, and the foreign
ministers of Great Britain, France and
Italy, showing the origin and develop
ment of the commission for world
food relief with Herbert G. Hoover. as
director general, was made public to-
dav by the state department.
The original plan as suggested by
President Wilson providing, among
other things. for the use of German
passenger tonnage in returning Amer
lean and British troops home and car
rying food on the return trips, was ac-
cepted subject to a few changes rec
commended by the French government
and approved by the other govern
ments These included provision for
n commission to direct the work
through the director general, rather
than that this responsibility be left
with the supreme war council.
The correspondence shows that the
activities of the organization contem-
plate aid for enemy populations as
we'll as for those liberated from the
enemy yoke and the neutrals contig-
uous to enemy countries The enemy
must pay for their supplies. but
money would be loaned other nations
for the purchase of supplies, except in
some cases where charity would be
necessary.

Aside from the shipbuilding fa-

struction of Hog Island is justified as

than the United States government
has invested in it, because its as good
a deep water terminal as there is In
this country. ! am willing to stake
my reputation as an executive that
the yard can he made success"
Mr. Brush quoted Howard Coon
ley, vice president of the Emergency
Fleet corporation, as saying that
Philadelphia could afford to spend
500, 100000 to acquire Hog Island
and continue its development as the
city's great water terminal.
Mr.. Brush said Hog Island was one
of the biggest advertisements the
United states has ever had a great
psychological influence in the world

mittee that the government could
take over the yard whenever ii de-
sired. He said the American Inter-

to hazard a guess as to whom the
