GALBRAITH REFUTES
GER MAN ISLANDERS
Quotes Wallace, Colby. Allen
and Mrs. Gait i'm Defence Of
Blacks on the Rhine.

IN a long letter addressed to F.. w.
Presse. made public yesterday, r. w.
Galbraith. Jr.. national commander OF
the American Legion, refutes the charges
OF Wholesale misconduct BY French
negro troops along the Rhine and char
acterizes the whole suggestion Of the
horrors OF the Rhine as a "shadowy
fothlng" and a screened attack on ma
tions friendly to the United States.
Col. Gaibraith attaches statements
from Hugh Wallace. American AM
bassador 10 France; Bainbridge Colby.
formerly Secretary OF State Major-Gen.
Henry T. Allen, IN command OF Ameri-
can troops in Germany Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait and others to prove thai.
the stories OF atrocities by negro troops
have been exaggerated and spread FOR
propaganda purposes. He declares that
there have been no black troops in
France for several months This state
ment agrees with that made BY Ambas-
sador Jusserand at the luncheon to M.
yiviaii on Saturday 10 the effect that
there had been no black troops in Ger
many since June /. Gen. Allen points
out that the Moroccans and Algerians
that We're in France are Arabs OF the
Mussurnan religion and distinct from
the negro race. The others. Gen. Allen
says, were Malays from Madagascar.
In addition Col. Galbraith submits
statistics received from Francis y.
Drake. commander of the American
Legion in France. giving the result
of an investigation of the alleged mis-
conduct by black troops. This investi-
cation showed the total accusations to
be 125. OF these forty-six were found
to be without foundation and fifty-one
were doubtful, having neither judicial
nor disciplinary foundation. French
courts dealing with the latter class i'm
posed sentences exceeding five years in
military prisons in three cases or as
sault, and of less than five years in
five cases of assault. One case un-
classified there was a sentence exceed
Ing five years and three unclassified
ones less than five years. There were
two acquittals. one suspended sentence
and six accusations of attempted as
sault failed wholly for lack Of proof.

The postponement in his departure is
beginning to cause irritation here, as

patches from the latter places indicate
that early steps may be taken to hasten
Charles's going. His departure is said
here to be contingent on possible politi-

OF members of the nobility are arriving.

in favor of Archduke Otto. his nine-year
