Deny More Than 2 Were
Hanged at Is-Ss,r-Tilie
Former Officers Testify Execu-
lions Took Place After Court
Martial foi. Heinnls Grimes

WASHINGTON. Jan. Repeated
denial that more than two military
executions occurred at ls-Sur-Tillc,
France, during the American occupa
ton of that town as a military center,
was entered to-day before the Senate
committee investigating charges that
American soldiers had been hanged
without trial.
Colonel Samuel V. Ham, who was in
command of the post from March to
July, 1919, described to the committee
the two executions which he said had
been carried out after formal sentence
by court martial for particularly
hcinous crimes.
James r. Hewlett. of Hampstead, N.
Y, who succeeded Colonel Ham in com
mand at Is~Sur-Tille, said there were
no executions, legal or otherwise, while
he was at the post.
John w. Hall, of Boston, who was
adiutant at Is-Sur-Tille, declared he
was positive there were only two eX-
ecutions. None took place there in
August, 1918 he said, as alleged by
soldier witnesses.
Similar testimony was given by
Howell NJ. Baker, Of Richmond, Va.'
formerly an officer at the camp.
As commander of labor battalion
at Is-Sur-Tillc, Frank X. A. Eble, OF
Washington, said he witnessed the two
executions described by Colonel Ham
and other witnesses. He had heard OF
no others.
This cleaned up the list of witnesses
already summoned and the hearing was
adjourned until next Tuesday.

Minor Rail Economies
Futile, Willard Asserts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two rail-
road presidents completed statements
to-day in opposition to railroad rate
reductions at the Interstate CONNIE rec
Commissions investigation into the
reasonability of transportation rates
and also underwent prolonged ques-
tioning from commissioners who heard
their arguments. Daniel Willard, of
the Baltimore & Ohio, during a long
exchange with Commissioner Esci1, in
sisted that lower costs of railroad op-
GRAFTON could not be attained by abol
ton of passes for railroad employees,
private cars for executives or similar
alterations of policy because their rel
alive Importance was little.
s. NJ. FELTON,, president of the Chi
cago Great Western. in answer to
questions from Commissioner Lewis,
said that "railroads cannot be efficient
in the employment of labor until the
Railroad Labor Board, which controls
them under the transportation act, al
lows them to establish rates Of pay
which correspond to the wages paid
workers OF similar occupations in the
communities which the railroads
serve"
For section hands, shop workers and
the. general run CT employees whose
occupation is not specialized, MIR. Eel
ton said wages are now arpreciab!y
higher than in enterprises outside.
New-York tribune., 1922-01-13

both Prime Ministers that the United
states government would not take the
initiative. BRAND, while here, made
careful unofficial inquiries as to the
attitude of President Harding and of
Secretary Hughes, Mr.. Hoover, Mr..
Mellon and others, with the result that
before his departure, on November %.
he formed the impression that if the
arms conference was notable political
success for America. there might be a
disposition to take the lead in calling
an international economic conference
TO deal with the financial disorders Of
Europe.
The disposition on the part of per
sons near the Administration. however.
was that any real nsideration of an
economic confidence could not be given
until the arms conference had shown
conclusivcly that an international con-
ference with a limited program could
take constructive action.
Members of the British delegation.
it is also understood, made the same
inquiries with the same rcsults-that
is, that the American government was
fully occupied with the arms confer
cncc and that although it might be
willing to take up European economic
affairs they must await the outcome Of
the Washington deliberations.
United States Attitude Made Clear
Important members of the French
delegation continued, after NJ. BRAND s
departure, to sound certain members
of President Ilardings Cabinet as to
tho possibility of the United States
government taking an active part in
an economic conference. This resulted,
it is understood in supplementary ad
vices going forward to BRAND to the
effect that the state Of American pub
lie opinion was regarded by the gov
crnmont as being opposed to any con-
siderable effort or sacrifice on the part
Of America to aid Europe unless mill
tary establishments were further re-
duccd not only in France. but in other
European countries. nJtably in the
Balkan states, and that the sums de-
mandcd by the Allies of Germany were
also considerably modified.
1t developed in informal conversa-
tons that if the United States govern
ment took an active part in the eco
nomic restoration of Europe it would
mean concessions or "sacriices" on a
large scale, and these, it was felt,
could not be made by the American
government and people at this time.
The cancellation or scaling down Of
debts owing by European governments
TO the American government could not
be thought of now at least, and consc-
qucntly it WAS considered that it
would be necessary for Europe to leave
this factor out of consideration and
that it would be necessary for the two
strongest economic organisms, those
Of France and Great Britain, TO take
tho leadership in European economic
restoration.

Success by F'ess
Submarine Question Will
Have To Be Submitted TO
Smaller Nations; Japanese
Are Praised for Fairness

NE BRUNSWICK, N. j., Jan 12.-
Pcssimistic reports from Washington
that the arms conference is failure
have no foundation in fact, declared
representative Walter Fcss, of Ohio, at
a dinner of the New jersey Teachers
Association here tonight On the other
hand, he declared, every proposal has
been accepted. The scrapping of CAPT
tai ships, the ten-ycar naval holiday and
the 5-5-3 ratio were the only American
proposals, he said. and al have been
adopted, while poison gas has been
banned. Owing to the fact that sub
marines can be built by small as we'll
as large nations, he said, this question
will have to be submitted to confer
ence which included more nations, and
since This country does not itself agree
to abolish them, the conference cannot
bbe declared failure.
81 can sc none of the dangers in the
four-po treaty which are discerned
by Senator Borah," he declared.
Rather it marks the greatest advance
in the worlds history. But if there
are any points in dispute, the arms
conference is still in session and every
such matter must be cleared up now,
bfore they dsband."
Representative Fcss declared that if
the United States accepts the invita-
tion to the economic conferenc at Genoa
in March this nation should demand to
know what is going to be proposed
there.
1--WE would not care to agree to ac-
cept the rule of the majority," he said.
For we go there as a creditor to meet
our debtors"
Discussing he Far Easern question
Repre- sentative Fess declared that the
spirit shown by the Japanese dele
gates at the arms conference was one
of the finest he had ever seen.
"lf ever 400 100000 Chinese are
combined with 76 100000 Japanese
under military leadership he said,
I'VE will have a. terrific problem and
we have a right to know Japan's am
bitions and to know whether her Jap
anese Monroe Doctrine, like ours, re-
spects the integrity of other Far East
ern nations. But I have been amazed
at the fine spirit Of the Japanese, al
though we cannot insist on open dis
cussion of matters they nave settled
by private treaties "

Agenda Not Yet Received
American Attitude known in

to Reds in Conference

WASHINGTON, Jan. II (Rv The AS
Soclated Prcss) - Determination of the
administration attitude toward par
tlclpation in the international economic
conference called to meet at Genoa in
March may be delayed as a result of
the resignation of Premier BRAND of
France, it was indicated to- day in high
official circlc1.
IT is the intention of the Admins
tratlon to avoid haste in deciding it's
course III connection with the economic
'o"ierencc. according TO high officials,
and 1T is believed that the change in
inc French Ministry will be another
laotor to be considered before n dcci-
SION as to this governments attitude
will be reached.
mus far the United States has not
agreed to partIcipatc in the Genoa con
ference, 1T was said at the State Dc
partmcnt In response to inquiries aris-
ing from tho statement by BRAND in
thc french Chamber of Deputies that
inc american government had agreed
to take part. NN''
The Administration, however, is un-
derstood to consider the resolutions
adopted by tho Allied Supreme Council
IN calling the conference as couchcd in
the terms of an invitation to the United
States TO participate and to be without
o'V's'on OF opinion on it's attitude to-
ward the present situation.
Until the scope Of the CONTEMPLATED
conference discussions is known the
united States scarcely will be able tc
determine the advisability Of taking
part IN the proceedings. is the view OF
nigh officials. and for this reason it. i
bel'evcd receipt of tho agcnda for tho
meeting will be awaited before the dif-
fcront factors to be considered by the
government in reaching its decision can
be studied.

Objection to the Genoa conference
was made to-day by Samuel Gompcrs
president Of the American Federation
of Labor, in formal statement in
