tics and Sawyer" He was referring
to Brigadier General Charles E
Sawyer, personal friend and physl
clan of President Harding,
Forbes then flatly denied the state
ment made before the committee by
DR.. Sawyer that he was dismissed
by President Harding for insubordi-
nation in connection with the sale
Of surplus property at Perryville,
Maryland.
Long before the president finally
decided to issue his second tenn
porary order stopping the delivery of
goods at Perryville,'' the former d.
rector said, 81 frankly told the presi-
dent that 1 could not continue to
serve if General Sawyer was to con-
tinue in my office; and it became
simply a choice between Sawyer and
myself, and L relieved the president
of any possible embarrassment by
rendering my resignation"
Asks To Be Questioned
At the outset Forbes read a pre-
pared statement in which he earnest
ly reql ested the committee mem
bers to question him most search
ingly as to all matters within the
11ope Of the inves Cgation and OF
the testimony heretofore given and
which he was to give.

expressing to the committee at this
time" Forbes said, my growing
belief finally resulting in convection
on my part, which / expect by the
testimony Of disinterested witnesses
to establish, that an attempt has
been made to mislead this commit
tee. and that a conspiracy has been
on foot, the purpose of which is to
encompass my destruction by means
of perjury, subornation of perjury,
attempted subornation Of perjury,
and the suppression Of material
facts and documents bearing not
onlv upon my personal conduct as
director of the veterans bureau but
also upon the official conduct of the
affairs of the bureau by myself and
my Subordinates.

RTS REGARDS GERMAN
SITUATION AS GRAVE
Nv Paul Scott MOWrer

BY Paul Scott MOWrer
Especial Cable to The Atlanta Ipurnal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1921
PARIS, Nov. 13.-The German sit.
uation IS regarded here as cry
grave.
With the former crown prince
sack in Germany and with the for
mer kaiser reported about to follow
him. and with the Stresemann gov
eminent encouraging them to rs
turn from exile and at the SAM
time refusing the demand of the
allies that the allied disarmament
commissions shall be allowed to re
sumo their duties, it is felt here that
o Germany is on the verge of great
revolt against the Versailles treaty.
Germany is moving straight to-
ward restoration of the monarch,
French opinion believes, and the
,nly question is whether this resto-
alton will be attempted first in Prus
sa to the profit of the Hohenzo.
..erns or in Bavaria to the profit OF
The Wittelsbachs.
French opinion apparently is
unanimous in demanding that the
Polncare government shall act Wig
orously in defense of the treaty. In
he first place France apparently in
lends to demand that the ex-crowD
prince shall be handed over to the
allies for judgment according to Ar
.icle 22S of the Versailles treaty. II
Germany refuses France will insls:
On some Kind of sanctions, though
Of what nature still is unknwn.
In the second pl re France appar-
entity intends to insist that Germany
shall disarm as the treaty provides,
[f Germany persists in its refusal
10 facilitate resumption of lnspec
ton by the allied disarmament con-
missions, the probabilities are that
French troops will occupy important
military railway junctio east of
Frankfort, thus partially cutting of
north Germany from Germany.
French policy seems to be guided
!. by three considerations, first, new
sanctions, which are absolutely nee
.assary in the circumstances; second.
these sanctions must not be of a ma
ture calculated to weaken the
French grip on territories already
occupied by disposing available
forces over too large an area, ana,
third, thes~ sanctions must be car
ried out without additional mobiliZa
lions.
Meanwhile, France apparently i'll.

British Troops on Rhine Show
Lack Of Cordial Wartime
Sentiment.
BY IS. d. WEYER,
international News Service Staff
q Hsmrraannrda,sk


wartime sentiment between the
British and French is fast vanish
ing, according to opinion expressed
here today by persons who have
Just returned from the Cologne
bridgehead, where the British have
been surrounded by French occu-
pational troops in the past rev
days.
British Hold Grip.
The British bull dog is holding
on. John Bull VIII not relinduish
his grip upon the Cologne bridge
head no matter how hard the
French may try to get his goat and
make him throw UP his job in dis
gust John Bull is not going
home-at least for some time. That
Is evident.
International News Service, after
an investigation, is able to reveal
facts which the British newspapers
do not care to publish. They fear
that publication Of the real truth
might tear down the last shreds
of the artificial harmony existing
over the Ruhr enterprise.
The French and British on the
Rhine are at loggerheads. But it
would be folly to say that the
Anglo French entente Is endangered.
This entente may exist for years
after the foundations for it have
crumbled. There Is common cause.
France and Great Britain are the
two most powerful nations in
Europe. They are the only two
nations In a position to go to war.
~ cUViA
must be friends, not enemies But
even being friends they might have
their squabbles.
The enmity that exists between
the two races is, for the most part,
on the part of soldiers. The Off
GERS and men in the British military
zone Of occupation are not friendly
towards the French and they are
not averse to showing 1t.
British i'm Minority.
General Cooley, commander of the
British army of occupation, has
ing to the war office and foreign
office upon conditions, notably rail-
way communications.
The British are in the minority
on the Rhineland commission and
whenever contentious subject
arises, Lord Kilmarnock abstains
from voting.
It has been proposed that the
Ruhr railways be turned over to
an allied commission, but as a sop
to the British. it was suggested
that the lines in the Cologne bridge
head position be exempted from
such control.
The French evidently have deter
mined upon a pin prick" campaign
in an effort to disgust the British
with their job OF occupation and
compel them to retire. General
Cooley and his staff have been
compelled to display extraordinary
patience and tact.
