Does Not Seem Bellevable.

Within a year after the close Of the
war about two million American SOL
diers returned to this country. II
seems more than astounding that all
these two millions kept silent about
the murder of their comrades. The
shroud was over these alleged hor-
rors until close on Armistlce day when
on the say-so OF three or -four belated
witnesses 10000 American officers are
arraigned before the world as being
by inference guilty OF unspeakabie
crimes.
Take II all In all, In France there
was good feeling between the men In
the ranks and the officers. Leaving the
officers " the regular army out OF
consideration. the holders OF commits
sIons In the service were men out OF
the ordinary walks Of life. Just as were
the men over whom they exercised
their command. There were some
cases where the holding OF a little
brief authority Seemed to make some
officers willing to become taskmasters.
and willing also In some ways 10 make
general asses Of themselves. but In the
main the officers and men were bud
dies In the best sense.
