COBLENZ, April 23. So stupendous
ix the American army'a service of sup?
plies in France, stretching over sys
tema of American built rnilways from
French Atlantic ports through inter
medlate stations across France to the
old battlefields, that there is serious
doubt whether the Allied nations can
afford to take it off Uncle Sam's hands.
The task of dismantling has al?
ready begun. I'acked to the roofs with
food, ammunition, arms of all kinds
and supplies of every military descrip
tion, veritable cities of warehouses and
hundreds of acres of storage yards
crammed to their capacity represent
what Uncle Sam had planned for tho
1919 spring drive -hundreds of mill
ions of dollars' worth of preparation
which the armistice mado unnecessary.
To-day this enormous provisioning
machine of the American army is be?
ginning to appear in the light of a mil?
itary while elephant in Europe unless
Uncle Sam can pack it up and send it
home, and obviously he cannot.
France Needs the Space
France is calling on America to de
mobilize her supply stations at the
earliest possible time, because France
- wants every possible facility to re
sume normal conditions, in order to
compete commercially and economical
ly with other nations, especially Ger?
many. The American army has prom?
ised to comply, but in view of t'<e
necessity of using all available tonnage
to transport troops home it is ob?
viously impossible to figure out a way
to accomplish the shipment of much j
of the military treasure now lying in
these supply stations.
Some parts of the great organization
are destined for Antwerp, where the
supply organization must centre, in or?
der to supply the American Army of
Occupation and the last troops that re?
main in Europe. But with the physical
impossibility to take home the gigantic
remainder, the question of disposing
of it to the European allies becomes
a worrying problem.
I have just learned from competent
authority that Marshal Petain, com?
mander of the French armies, with the
members of his staff, has now com?
pleted an inspection tour of these
upply rtations with a view of making
such purchases for the French govern?
ment a-< tho army will be able to use
Marshal Petam evinced the keenest
surprise at. the magnitude of the
American war organization, declaring
that with so many branches on a
large scale lie was dcubtful of
Irance's ability to make u-e of them.
Expense Was Enormous
At Gievres alone, one of the big in
ternvediate supply stations, Marshal
Petain learned that the cost of con?
struction of the railwav vards, ware?
houses and repair shbps, with the
variouf materials and supnlies on hand
April 15. represents $700 000,000.
He saw them about 40,000 army auto
mobiles, which the army purposes to
?ellby acre lots. mixing good, bad and
mditTerent cars fur lump sums.
He saw one of the Kreatest refrig
erating plants in the world, with 2 -
000,000 tons of fresh meat in cold stor?
age.
He saw 20,000 American aeroplane*
still cratcd as they were received from
.America, and was told that all these
were for sale. except the motors,
which are to be shipped back.
He saw about seven square miles of
covered warehousing space within *
r^r?.ru ?t.railway ,in? and learned
that the Gievres railway vards are ?
larger than any in Amertca and the
1 7M * '?" tAhe WOridl ha"dlin^ about
1,700 lreifjht cars daily.

metres long, two metres deep and filled
to the top with corpses, savs the offi?
cial report. It contained fifty bodies,
of which forty-onc were recognized.
I'ive at least were women, one Jean?
nette Baroness Wrangel of Wesenberg,
another a Sister of Mercy. Everything
except their linen had be"en taken from
thc victims; even their boots had been
removed. The Bolshevik executioners
had shattered the skulls of thirty-three
of the victims, and, not eonteiit with
shooting, had pierced most of them
with bayonets.
Tells of Executions
"A. Munstnyn, who miraculously
escaped death at tlie hands of the Bol
sheviks, describcd the sccne of one of
the executions.
" 'On the afternoon of January 11,'
hc said. 'lifty-six of us were led to the
place of exeeution, where thc grave was
already made. Half of us, including
six women, were placed at the edge of
the grave. The women were to be cxe
cuted first. One woman tried to escape,
but the Bolsheviks tired after her, and
she sank to the ground wounded. They
then dragged her by the feet into the
grave, tired at her and stamped on her
body until she was silent. Then a
volley was fired at thc other victims,
who were also east. into the graves and
done to death with butt ends of rifles
and bayonets, after which the Bolshe?
viks trampled on thc bodies.'
"ln Dorpat the Bolsheviks perpe
t.rated tho same kind of atrocities as
in Wesenberg. The official report
furnishes the names of the victims
and an account of the exeeution. A
number of persons were dragged to the
Embach River and shot down. Tlie
bodies were dropped into the river
through holcs in the ice. When the
Esthonians rcconquered Dorpat six
teen bodies were recovered from the j
river. Their condition revealed the l
shocking tortures to which they had !
been subjected. Many had arms and
lcgs broken, and the skulls shattercd.
One had his eyes put out, On January
14, shortly before they were driven
out, the Eolsheviks killed twenty of
their prisoners. There, were 200 in all.
"The Bolsheviks used to make them
stand in a row, and call out the names
of tlu- victims. They were then rohbed
of their clothing, boots, and valuables,
led to the cellar of a bank. and done
to death with hatchet blows and
bombs. About twenty were killed in
this manner, and only tlie hasty liight
of the Bolsheviks saved the re:-;, about
eighty of whom were women.
Bishop Is ."Murdered
"Among those murdered were Arch
bishop Platon, a university profi
and a grey-haircd clergyman. The
photograph taken of the cellar is a
ghastiy souvenir. A doctor who ex
amined the place shortly after the
murders says the floor was eovered
with bodies piled on one another in
the most unnatural positions, which
could only be attributable to a violent
