CR0NKHITE INQUIRY
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
Head of Department of Justice to
Undertake Personal In
vestigation.

Attorney General Daugherty will
undertake personal investigation
and review of the facts surrounding
the killing of Maj. Alexander =
Cronkhite at Camp Lewis, Wash. in
October. 191S,>ft was announced today
at the Department of Justice
Attorney General Daugherty is said
not to be satisfied that all the facts
in the case against former Capt Roh-
ert Rosenbluth, charged with the kill
ing of Cronkhite. have been brought
out and will institute personal in
vestigation of the case when he re-
turns from New York tomorrow or as
soon thereafter as possible. The de-
cision of the Attorney General to re-
view the evidence collected by the
Department of Justice came after
charges in New York that inyesti-
gators for the government had at
tempted to influence witnesses and
had censored statements favorable to
the accused man.
What happened at the time of the
death of Maj. Cronkhite has not been
fully brought out. it was said at the
Department of Justice today. Com
Gicting stories have been told of the
exact circumstances surrounding the
death of the Army officer. and the At
torney General is determined to get
the true facts in the case.

[. S. IGNORING OF WILSON
NEGOTIATIONS RESENTED
french Newspapers Point to Constitutional
Right of American President to
Treat With Foreign Nations.

may feel free to point out how In
elegant is this manner of treating
other people. For it is beside the
point to assert that an American
President is not qualified to conclude
treaties by himself. The same is prac-
tically true of the negotiations of all
nations. However. it is not the Gus
tom of other nations to slip out at the
last minute after having allowed their
representative to negotiate an Cn-
derstanding in their name. Lord
Bryce indicates that this American
tradition holds because the United
States. after all, can get along with
out the rest of the world.
But this is now changing. So 1onS
as the United States was purely CO.
lonal country it could with impunity
practice diplomatic customs proper to
young societies and speak frankly of
rudimentary morality. But today the
United States wants to play part In
the big world. Since the time of
Roosevelt it has figured as a great
power in the European sense. 1t is
time, then, that Americans give up
the habit of entering the parlor in
their shirtsleeves and splitting on the
carpet Otherwise. sooner or later
they will suffer a mishap."
The question thus raised is undoubt-
cdly serious and likely to have an
effect on future negotiations between
the United States and other countries

PARIS, France, April 19.-Beneath
the urbanites of official reassurances
resentment is growing in France at
'he disposition in the United States to
ignore all the results of Preside ent
Wilson's many months of nesotia alton
with the allies. 1t is generally point
ed out in private conversations and in
newspapers that Mr.. Wilson. as Presi-
dent OF the United States. had a con-
Stltutlonal right to negotiate with the
allies. and while it is also recognized
that the Senate has the constitutional
right to refuse ratification, many
French thinkers feel that this tend
encv on the part of the Senate to
overturn the Presidents diplomatic
work will end in making it extremely
difficult for the United States to carry
on negotiations with foreign nations
