ing for sinking of a. hospital ship,
Llandovery Castle, Canadian troops
shot down German prisoners at the
Battle of An1iens on Aug. 8, 1918,
Generals Die in Bed" new war book
published today by William Morrow
& Co., of New York charges.
The author, Charles Yale Harri-
son, an American who served with
the Canadian troops, also tells how
he took part in looting by Canadian
troops of the French town of ArraS
in April, 1918. and afterwards fought
the British military police. More
than 100000 Americans served With
the Canadians during the war.
Asserts Facts Known
The first time the charge has been
made publicly chat allied troops
looted an allied city during the war,
Harrison declares the facts are
known to most Canadian veterans.
Concerning the pillaging Of Arras,
Harricon asserts:
"As I stand talking, a man in the
company ahead of us idly kicks a
cobblestone loose from the road
bed. He picks it up and crashes it
through wide, cleaning shop win
dow. He steps through it and comes
out with basketful of cigarets.
Another crash! More men stream
through the gaping windows. Off
GERS run here and there trying to
pacify the men. AS far as I can
see, men are hurting stones through
windows and clambering in for sup
plies
The looters set fire to houses and
finally news of the pillaging reaches
army headquarters and a detach-
ment of British police is sent to re-
store order, the book says.

AS the police canter close to the
town they are met with a burst of
rifle fire. Two horses are hit. The
NJ. P.s draw rein and about face"
Mr.. Harrison describes the shoot
ing of unarmed German prisoners
at Amiens on Aug. 8, 1913, in the
following manner:
The figures run with funny jerky
steps towards us, holding their
hands high above their heads. We
open rifle fire as we advance. The
silnouettes begin to topple over. 1t
is just like target practice. We adj
vance; they come closer. There are
hundreds of them. They are I'M
armed. They open their mouths
wide, as though they are shouting
something Of great Importance.
Doubtless they are asking for mercy
We do not heed. We are avenging
the sinking of the hospital ship. We
continue to fire. -.
They are nearly on top of u.s.
There is a look of amazement on
their faces as We shoot. We are
firing point-blank now. The gray
figures continue to fall, one by one,
until only handful is left. They
throw themselves into the crater of
a shell-hole. Our men shoot
into the crater"

the situation Of having no money
with which to meet current oper-
ating expenses.
At the same time there was
means of reducing the $5O,000-a-

Of 1929 earnings to be issued at

The trend to higher prices ex-
tended through the active in
