any amendment to the original Budget.

GEN. Harris DOUBTS
BRUTALITY TALES
Former Commander in Paris
Says Prisoners Always
Distort Truth.

Testimony of American prisoners
land nome commissioned officers in
| charge of prisons should be con-
sidered with caution. Brig. Gen. Will
liam w. Harris, former commander
OF the district Of Paris, today told a
House committee investigating prison
brutalities.
"Prisoners Never Satisfied"
Continuing defense of his admins
tration, the witness said that stories
of inhumaneness and brutalities might
be exaggerated by sergeants EN-
deavoring to exculpate themselves.
Prisoners were never satisfied and
always distorted the truth. he added.
Questioned by Chairman johnson Of
south Dakota concerning the sale OF
rights in the Paris subway" to French
men by Sergt. Bender, Gen. Harris said
der denied sale of one OF the bridges
over the Seine river, but frankly adj
mitted that certain rights to the sub
way had been sold because it was neces
sary to raise money" Gen. Harris told
the committee.
That the impressions formed by the
committee concerning brutalities in the
district of Paris are not warranted by
facts, the witness commended
Committees Belief.
Chairman Johnson replied that the
committee was satisfied that terrific
brutalities did exist" adding it was
distressing to find that conditions
had been slowly reported to head
quarters
considering the character Of Amer
leans in Paris, the number Of brutali-
ties was surprisingly small" he
stated.
Thirty cases Of desertion in face Of
the enemy occurred in the 9th Ma
tional Guard Division from New York,
he said, in explaining that many men
in Paris were skulkers who didn't
want to remain with their divisions
at the front.
