DICKINSON APPEALS
FOR TRUTHOF WAR
House Military Committee
viii Call Historians to
Testify on Conflict.

Turning it's attention to the histori
cal side of the World War, the House
military committee was told today
that a number of American school
histories gave erroneous and imagi-
nary accounts of the part played by
the American troops.
The statement was made by Lieut.
Col Thomas ]. Dickinson of Wash
ington retired Army chaplain, and
afterward the committee voted to call
authors of American school histories
for questioning.
Dickinson testified after Representa-.
tive Andrew, Republican, Massachu-
sets, had Endorsed his resolution
proposing publication of official Army
and Navy war records.
Davis Opposes Cost.
The Massachusetts member made
public a letter from Secretary of War
Davis, saying the War Department
could not indorse the plan at this time
because Of the cost of publication.
The Secretary also urged amend
ment of the resolution to give the de-
partments authority to pass upon the
matter to be printed.
AOi. IJICklIlSoH Sdlu lIlStL ii iA0iilbSA
Of American historical authors We're
''trombonious." He explained that
this meant they footed their own
opinion of what took place. He said
q number of the histories gave
erroneous accounts. One history, ne
contended, made the statement that
with six months training, American
troops were equal to the experienced
troops of any nation.
''Use Mexican Eagle"
He also said American publishing
companies printed the Mexican eagle
ON the face of text books rather than
The American eagle.
Col. Dickson also assailed one his
tory for suggesting that children be
asked to explain the League of Ma
lion, why the Washington arms con-
ference was called, and how another
war could be averted.
There is not a teacher in the coun-
try" he said, that could explain
these so as to get concerted action by
Congress, much less SO that children
would understand them"
Representative McSwain, Democrat,
South Carolina, asked if, as a minis
ter, he did not teach children religion
and believed they could understand 1t?
But the query went unanswered when
Representative Speaks, Republican,
Ohio, arose waving a walking STICK
and demanding to know why children
. shouldn't be taught about the League.
Tilt Is Heated.
After a heated tilt, Speaks smiled
and said he had no intention of using
his cane, and the committee laughed.
Dickson said that one history said
that the great German navy-the
Kaisers pride-was delivered over to
the allies without firing a shot"
Now that disposes of the German
navy" Dickson said Il understand
that the battle of Jutland, in which
A battleships, IA cruisers and nu-
merous other war vessels were in ac-
ton, was one of the greatest sea
battles in history"
He said that accounts of the ac-
tivities of Red Cross dogs were over
drawn and that he, personally, never
saw a dog at the front.
Another history he added, said the
Hun received his first setback at Bel
leau Wood, and he wished to know
what happened to the Germans at
the Marine.

 The biggest fleet of sightseeing buses ever allowed to pass the or nate Buckingham Palace gates took the LegioNnaires through the fog to their majesties' home shortly be- fore Il a. m.
 Twelve of the big cars rolled across the outer palace yard under the great arch and into the inner court. where the Legionnaires alighted.
 There were more Americans on the outside looking in, however than there were on the inside look ing out.

 Part Of the reinforcement will be used to strengthen the capital garri- son and the rest will augment the forces already in Vera Cruz purSu ing the rebel troops under General Gomez and Armada.

 The navy has been ordered to keep a special lookout along the east coast to prevent Gomez and Armada from escaping by boat at sea.
 The war office announced that heavy assertions among the revolu- tionarics continue, and that the reb els, on exacuating Perote and Oricn- tai. left behind all heavy equipment including trains, whic hare now in the possession of the federals.
 The attorney generals office an- nounced that the property of Gomez, Armada and other revolutionaricS would be seized and confisCated to help defray the cost of supprcssing the revolution.
 Ten thousand federal troops un- der Generals Escobar and Aguire are pursuing the rebels who are be- leved not to number more than l. 500 or 2,000 men.
