Charges that American soldiers in

Watson INVESTIGATING committee of

West Seventy-first street, New York.
AT Schells, 1 was made to sleep
on a bare floor in a stable for ten
days until I was sent to the hospital
on the verge Of pneumonia, Walmer
said.
This was in November. 1913. We
had only tomato cans out OF which
to eat, and had to mix coffee, meat
and other food all in the same can If
we wanted to eat" he said.

en- orders, when he was arrested by
the military police in Paris.
They took my orders away from
ne and we had to sleep in a room
about twelve feet square, with twenty
five or thirty men in the room.
Walmer described some of the
activities of Hard. Boiled" Smith at
the prison camp.
He gave us to understand that II
we did not obey his orders he could
be picking out our box.
He cursed us and ripped off the
medals and other decorations from
those Of us that had them.
He took my mothers picture away
from me and tore It up in front OF
me-" declared Walmer.
The tears began to come in Walmer's
Eyes as he continued.
HE took away the Bible given me
by my grandmother. My grand
mothers dead now, and it's about the
only thing she ever gave me-"
Walmer began to sob at this point
and, as he broke down completely, was
permitted to suspend his testimony.
Among other charges which Walmer
made was that a captain named
Watson" in the army criminal bureau
in Paris had ordered the destruction
Of papers complaining about the treat
ment of prisoners. These documents
Walmer said, should have gone to the
office of the adjutant general In Wash

Belief Prevails Interests at
Stake Will Place America at
Round Table.
BY FRANK CHARLTON,
International News Service Foreign New
Editor.

International News Service Foreign News
NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.--BeIief was
expressed in Wall Street banking
circles today that the United States
will participate actively in the pro-
posed international economic confer
ence opening at Genoa March 8, and
that the American delegates will raise
the question of payment of interna.
tional war debt owing to this coun-
try.
There In every possibility that the
Washington conference will have
ended before the first OF March. The
American Government probably would
be opposed to participation in two
conferences at the same time because
Of the opportunity II would give for
deals and bargaining.
American bankers are keenly In

Genoa, seeing in II the first concerted
world movement for economic reha-

information to the Senate regarding
the financial status of the European
countries owing money to the United
States, the condition of their budgets
and the amount they are spending
upon their military establishments.
In banking circles the opinion Is
held that IL the various powers CO.
operate and deliberate in a spirit Of
unanimity, progress is possible which
will make 1922 the first year of the
new era of world prosperity.
The allies will be in a position to
make effective agreements with fds-
STA for the opening up OF the vast
sources Of rev materials in that coun-
try. This would help toward Euro
pean prosperity. and II is emphasized
by financiers that the sooner Europe
begins to get upon her feet corr r.
cially and industrially the quicker the
United States viii begin to receive
the funds she advanced in war time.
Few bankers believe that any debt
will be cancelled. although arrange
ments will be made by which those
countries which are best able to do
so shall pay first.

the farce so we'll that a British

famous treaty Of 1915.
No chance. II the Japs ever get

MEDICAL REPORT
INTRODUCED At.
- ARBUCKLE TRIAL
State Attempts to Show vir-
ginia Rape Died as Result of
Attack by Comedian.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1s.-Taking
a page from the book of the defense in
the first trial, the State has reversed
Its procedure In the second trial of
Roscoe C'Fatty'O Arbuckle and is fight
ing to convict him of manslaughter on
testimony which almost won the rotund
comedian acquittal in his first trial.
Swinging directly into medical testi-
mony as soon as the death Of Virginia
Rape d>been established in evil
dence, the State sought to show
through a medical report returned late
in the first trial by a commission of
experts and hailed at the time as a
browning victory for the defense that
a medical condition existing in the
organ from the body of Miss Rape
examined by the experts in ino way
contributed to the rupture of that
organ.
Blames Arbuckle for Death.
The State contends the force which
caused the rupture and subsequent
death of the motion picture actress
was applied by Arbuckle in the course
of felonious assault.
The defense contends the organ In
question was diseased and that the
rupture might have been due to a fit
ice water bath to which the young
woman was subjected by her friends
in the course of first-aid treatment
when she became i'll in Arbuckle's hotel
room.
RACING not only their own expert,
DIR. William Ophuls, on the stand, but
also the defense's chief expert, DIR.
Rusk, and DIR. ID. M. Erwin, an outside
specialist named on the commission,
Attorney Brady brought forth the
statement that the pathological condi.
ton found in the organ did not extend
to the ruptured portion, and two OF
the three experts declared that in their
opinion this condition in no wise con.
tributed to the rupture. DIR. Rusk was
non-committal on this aspect.
Hope to Anticipate Defense.
AS the second day of testimony
taking started, State attorneys believed
by this procedure they had spiked one
of the big guns of the defense arma.
ment and proceeded to a more orderly
presentation of their case. They hoped
to be ready to place Miss Prevon and
Alice Blake on the stand ia tell their
eyewitness stories of the gay party
and its tragic ending. IL the first day

In addressing the jury at the be-
ginning of testimony taking on Tues
day, the prosecutor said:
