LOSSES NOT FAULT
OF FRENCH F0CH

PARIS, Feb. 2-"Marshal Foch does
not wish to enter the controversy that
has been started in America regarding
operations at scissors, but he declares
to be absurd the charge made by
General Summerall that American
losses there were the fault of the
French Command" General Weygandt,
Chief of Staff of the Allied Armies,
said today.
This statement was made in reply Ia
an inquiry regarding Foch's opinion OF
the assertion of General Summerall,
formerly Commander of the American
First Army, that chaotic conditions eX-
listed before and during the battle or
Scissors, due TO lack of proper prep
arations by the French and that the
victory was due either TO accident OF
Divine intervention rather than to any
military plan of action.
"Foch's viewpoint" General Wey-
gandt added. lis that General Sum-
meralrs knowledge of military sci
ence is dubious and that possibly the
allied plan of battle was too compli-
Gated for him to understand. If ur
necessary losses occurred they must
have been due to the American com
mander's erroneous Interpretation u
the orders of the High Command.
General Nangin. whose orders di
cited General Summerall's opera
ms. is. in our opinion. one of
Frances best Generals. and We az"
positive that his plan was correct and
carried cut to perfection. Proof Of
this is contained in the fact that tn
plan led to the armisticc through thu
greatest victory ever won hy the Al
les
1T seems strange that the AmeT-
cans, who had the honor OF startirs
the great drive which won the war.
should now complain that the High
Command was mistaken. Such recrim-
nation cannot stand against evidence
OF the facts"

TOLD BY kEWBERRY
CBy Associated Press)

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. AL
though half a dozen of the defendants
in the Newberry election conspiracy
trial were reported early today as
unable to be in court, indications were
that there would be no delay in the
case.
All of the jurors. under the watchful
eye of a physician. had so far escaped
the influenza epidemic, which Sunday
affected three more defendants, includ-
ing John S. Newberry, brother of the
principal defendant.
The fraudulent election conspiracy
which the government charges against
Senator Newberry and his co-defend,
ants, had its inception in New York in
1917, according to the opening state
ment which Frank C. Daley, assistant
attorney-general. made to the jury in
United States district court here to-
day.
He named Senator Newberry and
William Cody. whom he described as
"a legislative agent for large corpora
tons, particularly the American Tele-
phone G. Telegraph Co, and the
American Book Company" as the men
who made the preliminary arrange
ments." He added:
Bought Senatorship.
"They had determined to purchase
the United States senatorship in
Michigan for Mr.. Newberry."
Mr.. Daley told the jury that the
senator was then on patriotic work
| in New York city as a lieutenant COM
. mander in the navy, adding that the
American Book company was large
ly controlled by the Barnes family, to
which Mr.. Newberry was related by
marriage"
Mr.. Daley said that Cody was COM
missioned to hire a manager for the
campaign and that J. G.. Hayden,
! Washington correspondent of the De
troit News. was offered $500 a month,
but refused the position because he
did not want that kind of job Mr.
Daley said solicitation of Hayden
ceased suddenly after the latter had
advised Mr.. Newberry not to con.
duct barrel campaign"
Mr. Daley then shifted the scene
to Detroit where he said in February
there was a conference OF Michigan
politicians known as Cody men" TIL
} conference, he said. selected Paul II
King, one of the defendants, as man
| ager of the campaign.
