WITH SENATOR HARDING, EN-
ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS, Oct 16.-Off
on the last leg of his present speak

faced heavy day of rear-end

speech. He leaves Immediately after

who figured in the pre-convention

and is swi-11esing hard at the failure
of the administration to enter the
world war earlier. He deliberately
charged in his Indianapolis speech
that America was kept out of the
war for political purposes, and that
for the sake of winning an election
thousands of American lives were
sacrificed on the battlefields of
France.
Speaking with visible emotion,
Harding charged this was betrayal
Of American manhood, and before he
was through some women in the audi
ence were wiping the tears away.
He got into this phase of the at
tack after denying the charge made
in a recent speech by William Gibbs
MacAdoo that he favored compul-
sorry military training. Any peace
time system Of military training in
America must be voluntary, Harding
said. The statement being used
against him now, he said, was made
during the war when the administra-
ton was refusing, he charged, to per-
nit Theodore Roosevelt to take vol.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The
charge of General George Barnett of
"indiscriminate killing" of Haitians by
American marines will be the subject
of thorough investigation by con-
gress, it was confidently believed here
today. ,..-
Further disclosures also are expect
ed to deevlop rapidly in the investiga-
ton which Secretary of the Navy Dan

Occupation of Haiti.
Barnett's charge is expected to be
thrown Immediately into the presi-
denticl campaign. Senator Harding,
republican nominee, recently launched
vigorous criticism of the marine occu-
patton of Haiti.
A mystery which has developed out
of the situation is the disappearance
of a report from Colonel Russell, COM
manding the marines in Haiti, on the
investigation ordered by Barnett of
the ''indiscriminate killings" Russell
declared he mailed the report last
March. Barnett and Daniels said they
never received it.
Although Barnett in his letter tc
Russell calling for an Investigation
said:
'Tndiscriminate killing had been go
ing on for some time" Secretary Dan
iels declared there had been only six
or seven cases of Illegal executions.
Daniels also declared the Barnett re-
mort was his first information that
there had been charge of "indis-
criminate killings"

"indiscriminate killing. named Major
Clarke H. Wells, former gendarmerie
department commander in northern
Haiti as being responsible for the
conditions in northern Haiti. Wells
was said to be under arrest in Haiti.
