ALL BLAME
At FIRST
Alters His Original Statement
After Lengthy ParIey at
War Department

After lengthy War De-
partment conference today,
Maj. Gen. George Van Horn
Moseley. acting chief Of tsaff,
denied he had issued reports
that troops had been the first
to burn huts of bonus marchers
during the evacuation of
July %.
MoSeley admitted, however. that
soldiers had fired the dismal how
els of the marchers after they
observed the occupants them
selves set some of the huts ablaze
as they prepared to flee from the
gas-swept area.
Qualities Statement
Secretary of war Patrick Hur.
ley said when questioned at the
American Legion convention at
Portland, Ore, on Tuesday:
II say to you. upon my sa-
cred word of honor, that no
soldier set fire to one Of those
biIlets in Washington. They
were fired by the people who
occupied them. Anyone who
says otherwise does not state
the facts"
The General Moseley statement
printed this morning stated:
"The huts were fired by
troops in reserve. They were
under orders.
Troops were in waves. The
last wave was ordered to burn
down the novels when they had
been evacuated and there was
no danger to anyone.
1--WE are making no apologies
for anything that happened"
Moseley's statement later today
said he was Of the opinion that
some of the soldiers had applied
torches to certain of the billetS
after the others were burning. He
did not feel, he said, that the
first fires had been set by troops

With Cheerful Note :

Declaring that no man,

Hoover marshalled the nation g
relief organizations here today
to map plans~for the coming
cold months.
Mr.. Hoover opened the con-
ference of delegates from the
relief agencies with an appeal
for whole-hearted national sup
port of the winter drive, and ex-
pressed the, opinion this would
be the last of the succession Of
winters when nationwide help

President Hoover, addressed the
group of relief workers on the
White House lawn. The Presi-
dents address opened crowded
day, with leaders of many fields
of national endeavor thraShing
out ways and means of keeping
up the organized fight against
cold and hunger.
Four Aims Outlined
Newton D. Baker, wartime Sec.
retary of War, declared that as
the scale of civilization has
ascended, "it has become increas-
ingly and more imperatively true
that life is more than meat and
body more than raiment."
Mr.. Hoover set forth four
definite aims of today's confer
ence. They were:
"That no man, woman or
child shall 60 hungry or un-
sheltered during the approach
ing winter.
THAT our great benevolent
agencies Tor character building,
hOSpitaIiZatiOn, care of children
and all their vast number Of
agencies of voluntary sOlicitude
for the less fortunate are main

ITO maintain the bedrock
principle Of our liberties by the
full mobilization of individual
and local resources and respOn-
sibilitieS.
THAT we may maintain the
spiritual impulses in our
people for generous giving and
generous Service-in the spirit
that each is his brothers
keeper"
POmerene Also Heard
Atlee Pomerene, chairman of
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poratlon. addressed the 400 dele
gates later at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Mr.. Pomerene said the Federal
Government was created primarily
for larger affairs of national life
and it was with this in mind that
President Hoover and Congress
framed the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation act. He con-
tinued:

Congress intended the $780,.
100000 fund for loans to the
States should last for two years,
however, Pomerene said.
Walter S. Clifford, president Of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. who also ad-
dressed the delegates, predicted
that the approaching winter
would be a hard one and there
would be much need for food,
money, clothing and shelter.

Lieut.. ]. w. PierSon, attached to ad-

list, followed by Lieut.. Richard II
Mansfield of the Detective Bureau and
Lieut.. Gustav Lauten of the ninth pre-

ignored by Gen. GlaSStord IN recent
