there were two offenses against th«
law of nations that ha<1 heen com
mltted.
"One,'' he wild, "ia the crime against
humanity in the deliberate plotting of
the sreat war. The other ia the out
rape upon International law. It is
crime, a brutal crime, to devastate .he
laniis of another. Who ever did that
oufht to be responsible for it.
"The submarine warfare did not
mean only the sinking of ships, but
It was a crime against humanity In
that It sank thousands of harmless
merchantmen. In the whole history
of warfare between nations that had
never been sanctioned. Jfl. la rank
piracy and the pirates^miist receive
the punishment. *
"1 mean to see that the men who
did not treat our prisoners with hu
manlty are to be made responsible.
I want thl# country to go to court
with a clean conscience, and she will
do so. There is not a stain on her
record. We will not be afraid to ap-
pear before ftny tribunal.
"Now these are the things which
we have to investigate. We mean that
the investigation shall be an impartial
one, a perfectly fair one. We also
moan that It shall be a stern one, and
that It shall go on to the final reel,
oning.
"We have got so to art now that
men In the future who feel tempted
to fo'.low the example of the rulers
who pl'iii'9ed the world into thw war
will know what Is awaiting them at
the end of It. We shall have to see
that this terrible war, which has In
fllcted so much destruction on the
world, which has arrested the course
of civilization and in many ways put
it back; vhich has left marks on the
minds, upon the physique and the
hearts of myriads In many lands that
this generation will not see obliterated

now, lust, fearless and relentless tint
It Is a crime that- shall never again
be repoaUC In the history of the
w orld."
the foremost American authorities on
this subject.
Mr. White, the republican of the
delegation, Is a diplomat of long ex
perlence, who began as secretary of
the American legation In Vienna In
1SI4. He served as secretary of em-
bassy at various capitals, represented
the United States at several great In-
ternational gatherings and in 1905,
was appointed ambassador to Italy, by
President Roosevelt. Two years later
he was made ambassador to France,
where he remained until 1909. Ills
last publle service was In 1910 when
President Taft sent him to Chile as
special ambassador of United States
for the celebration of the centenary
•f the Chilean Independence.
Colonel House has never held pub-
lic office, but as President Wilson's
personal friend and adviser he Is
credited generally as having played a
greater part In the present adminis-
tration than any other man except
the president himself. He has been
called Into consultation at every crisis
and after going to Europe in 1914,
1915, and 1916, as the president's per-
sonal representative to European gov.
ernments, he was commissioned to
gather and organize data to be used
whenever the time for a peace con-
ference might come. He hastened to
Europe when it became apparent that
Germany was crumbling, and was In
France to speak for the president In
conference with the heads of the al-
lied governments when the terms of
armistice and the basis for peace dis-
cussion were determined.
General Bliss, who formerly was
chief of staff of the army, went to
Europe last December with an Amer-
ican mission and later was perma-
nently assigned as the American mil-
itary representative on the lnter-al-
lled council at Versailles. As the
American military representative at
the peace conference, he will be as-
sisted by a staff of officers, most of
whom In the understanding here, will
come from the general staff of the
American Expeditionary forces.
Admiral Benson has made several
trips to Europe since the United State*
entered the war and went to Paris
with Colonel House last month as the
representative of the navy on the
supreme war council.

Comptroller Warwick's decision
declared "that it cannot be assumed,
as the proposed contract form doas,
that the contractor anticipates profits
from completing his contract. There
may be contractors willing to termin-
ate their existing contracts, whether
containing termination clauses or not,

on terms more favorable to the gov-
ernment than are contained In the
proposed form. It is possible that
some may ho willing to terminate
existing contracts on the basis of
payment for what is delivered before
determination.
The comptroller also said that "the
making of the supplemental^ agree-
ment and the simple certifying to a
minimum amount by the contracting
officer upon the statement and esti-
mate of the contractor will not be
sufficient nor conclusive upon the
Recounting officers."
J This referred to the checking of
payments made by accountants work-
ing under the direction of the comp-
troller of the treasury. He added:
"The supplemental agreement cannot
be permitted to impose a liability upon
the government where none hereto-
fore existed."
The comptroller then explained
that a contract, to be legal, must "be
reduced to writing with the names
of the parties Bigned at the end," and
that "a signing by proxy Is consid-
ered by this office as not permissible."
Thousands of contracts have been
.signed In this manner by army of-
ficers duly uulhorized by the sec-
retary of war. The name of the of-
ficer in these cases was typewritten
at the end oI the contract and a
minor officer actually signed o» be-
half of the authorized contracting
officer. The only documents many
manufacturers have to support their
contracts consist of letters Instruct-
ing them to proceed with certain
orders for war materials ,at certain
prices, or on the basis of a percentage
of profit, bearing the signature of a
subordinate officer beneath the typed
name of the real contracting officer.
It was expected that In the rush of
war preparations this system was
necessary in the Interest of speed.

is certainly a pretty country back of
the lines, mostly hilly and a village
down In the valley, the houses are of
whlta rock and red tile roofs. We
were located In dufout* for tha past
ten days until yesterday when wa
moved down the line a few miles into
an old French military academy which
is pretty well shot to pieces and is
shelled every day and nighf, for only
last night shells and bombs from
airplanes dropped on all sides. This
was once a very Important town and
the (Jerujans lost millions of men try-
ing to take It, which they never did.
I was out on a hill a few days ago
where over half a million men on the
hun side were killed and ths hilla
Just a half mile away this side, 300,-
000 French were slain. I was told
by a soldier that the Germans and
French fired at ach othr point blank
with 75'* which are three inch cannon,
within half a mile of each other.
Both hills are one solid mass of shell
holes, some twenty feet deep In solid
rock. Thousand of hun graves have
been hit by shells and remains scat-
tered about over the hill. You see
hundreds of boots sticking out of the
ground with legs In thepi; In fact,
ou can see all kinds of war Instru-
ments and the destruction which they
have wrought. We will be In action
again In a couple of days as we ran
down here for a three days' clean up
and to get some new clothes as our
old uniforms were geettlng pretty well
worn and ragged. We lack lots of
being from the front at present, as
few big shells are bursting all
around at this moment but most of
them are a couple of hundred yards
away but they jar quite a bit. al-
though I awoke only once la«t*nlght
and bombs fell near and shells fell
an night, some even come so close
that pieces of shrapnel hit the build-
ing but a fellow soon gets used to
anything after a few weeks at the
front. It Is very Interesting to watch
the many air battles that take pla.ee
most every day. A week or so ago a
squadron or armade of 350 planes
came over to pay Fritz a visit. This
number of planes was some grand
sight to see in battle formation. The
prisoners that come in now look awful
tough, no clothes, and no food and
from all companies and divisions. You
see more here In one day than you
could tell In a month for you see
things happen that seem Impossible.
We have had pretty good luck In
the way of casualties in the train
but occasionally a dozen or so get
bumped off and I see a number of
horses each day that shell have
killed. We had a wonderful trip from
Berdeaux here, some of the most
beautiful country and roads I ever
saw and to be away up on the edge
of a hill and look down upon a vil-
lage a few miles across in the valley
certainly was wonderful; all the roads
around look as chalk marks, mostly
vineyards and dairy farms up to
Orleans, Numbers of Dutch wind
mills around Nantes. Ws have toured
a large portion of Franco and will
soon begin our tour of Germany If
they continue to fljrht a few weeks.
My work isn't very hard as we draw,
food, gas, etc., for the train, occasion-
ally go up with ammunition. I was
very fortunate to get into the head-
quarters mortor battalion and have
a very fine man for a captain, but
the ammunition train Is what the
huns try to get with their shells as
we have to go regardless of what they
send over. Was Indeed glad to receive
your letter. I never felt bettor in my
life and have enjoyed most every-
day I have been over here, but of
course It Isn't like being at home.
Yours sincerely,
