THEIR EYES ON PECK
The Brute Who Criticized tho Worn
Out Men OF the 35th Division
Is Carefully Watched. so

Major Robt. @. Peck, the brute Who
was connected with the inspector gem
erals office during the war and abused
the worn out men Of the S5th division,
was again denounced In the Senate
Thursday of last week. When the
nomination OF this fellow for promo
tion to the grade of lieutenant colonel
came before the committee on mill
tary affairs, Senators Spencer and
Capper filed charges against him,
chiefly affidavits from soldiers who
swore Peck had cursed and otherwise
mistreated them. The senate has not
confirmed Peck's nomination.
Senator Ashhurst Of Arizona criti-
cized the military committee for fav-
orably acting on the promotion of
Peck. He said:
"a sample of the military affairs
committee goinT to the limit il found
In the report on a certain case which
Is confidential and which. therefore,
Nsib bltS iltHtibiI ! ne Junior sem
ator from Missouri Mr.. Spencer. laid
before the senate certain facts. not
rumons. showing that an officer had
been guilty OF extreme brutality to-
wards sick men; that when they
pleaded in Their sickness he cursed
them in a way that was scandaIous.
and yet we may promote that officer.
II will wait until see what is done
in this case, where an officer bias
phcmed, swore and abused private
soldiers | want to say for the record
that an officer who would curse sol
diers when they cannot reply is a
coward at heart"
Senator Lenroot interposcd to say
that the officer in question hal been
censured for using profanity. Senator
Ashhurst continued:
'An officer, who would curse sick
men who had been struggling In the
mud of the Arsonne forest would care
precious little about censurc, if ne
could get a promotion"
