Ex-Service Man At
Cleveland Ready To
Back Watson Charges
WASHINGTON, D, C., Nov, 9
Senator Watson of Georgia actually
is in posession of photos showing a
gibbet, and he has the word of an ex
soldier that the photos were taken in
France, The former service man, John
J. Forbes of Cleveland O. says he
is willing and anxious to go before
a Congressional committee and testify
to what Senator Watson charged that
Yanks met shameful death on the gal
lows in France and that half has not
been told of the cruclties inflicted on
American fighters by their own offi
cers,
Forbes not only makes the claim
that he himself was the victim of the
cruelty system “over there” but he
witnessed a hanging, This was at Is
sur-Tille, France, Forbes produces
photographs of this éxccution_ He
makes the claim that there were oth
ers, This is the stoey in the former
marines own words:
“If the American people do not
know that Amcrican boys were execu
ted on the gallows during the war, it
is time that somebody revealed the
truth to them, They are entitled to
know that outrageously cruel treat
ment was metted out to innocent men
who went into a foreign land to pro
tect their country against invasion,
I know of what 1 speak for I was
one of the victims of this cruel treat
ment and I myself witnessed one of
the hangings. What 1 saw and what
I felt I know.”
“About August 1919 I was detain
ed at the infamous Rue St. Anne’s ho
tel, 1 was an enlisted man with the
Fifth regiment of marines. In the four
days I was detained I was subjected to
the roughest sort of treatment by the
guards composed of Thirtieth conmp
any marines. T was knocked down
and was forced to undergo the “Swed
ish erercises” for about twenty min
utes, This was a favorite form of
cruelty to tlie men’
“These punishments I can prove by
witnesses were inflicted without any
cause, This particular guard company
is wel] remembered by the A B<F
for its cruelties, Who gave these men
the authority to punish soldiers, T do
not know,
“I witnessed one hanging at Issur-
Tille, and with this article I produce
photographs. These photographs
show the gallows before and after the
trap sent an American boy to his
shameful death, was sprung, The pho
tographs show that this was an Amer
ican being executed, for the armed
guard surrounding the gallows all
wear Yank uniforms,
“It is high time that the truth be
told ”

An Unsolicited Tribute
From Fannie Hurst
Author of “Humoresque” Praises ‘The
Four Horsemen of Apocalypse
My Dear Mr, Rowland:
Metro Picture Corporation;
I came away so thrilled and moved
by “The Four Horsemen of the Apo
calypse” that T had the same feeling
I experienced the first and only time
I saw Sarah Bernhardt. T didn‘t want
to go home, but to walk miles and
miles under the spell of what I had
seen. I may seem a bit superlative
in my appreciation of this film but to
me it amounts to a climax in the entire
history of the screen, TLast night
marked a birthday, The ecighth muse
had come of age. Mr, Ingram, Miss
Mathis, Mr. Ibanez, everyone in fact
connected with the m;lstorpi(‘ce’ is to
be congratulated to weave that enorm
ous story into a tapestry the size of a
motion picture screen and at the same
time to keep its integrity of form, its
purpose and beauty is artistically rais
ed to the ninth power,
I'm a rather querulous picture goer
not holf satisfied with conditions but
seeing the “Four Horsemen® has re
newed my faith in the potentialities of
the screen,
Sincerely yours,
Fannie Hurst,
The Four Horsemen will be shown
at the Grand Theatre, Fitzgerald on
November 14 and 15 and this will be
.the same show that played Atlanta to
record business for two weeks. They
will carry the same big orchestra,

Leasing of Shoals
Plant To Power
Company Opposed
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov 9th—
New developments in the fight to pre
vent Jeasing of the Muscle Shoals
steam power plant to the Alabama
Power Company was dispatched on
Wednesday of a telegram to Secre
tary of War Weeks by former Gov
ernor Emmet O’Neal, urging the war
secretary to deny the request made
by the Alabama public service com
mission,
Governor O’Neal declared it would
be a waste of time, with possible harm
ful effect on the Ford deal to permit
the power company to take charge of
the plant now, He said it would be
impossible for the plant to begin op-.
erations before the rainy season sets
Mason Dilliard, of Birmingham, a
leader in the fight to obtain the Mus
cle Shoals plant for Mr. Ford has wir
ed Congressman Lama Jeffers, of the
Alabama delegation, urging no action
which will conflict with Mr. Ford's
plans, Mr, Dilliard connected the name
of Thomas Edison with that of Mr.
Ford in the development of the hydro
electric power at Muscle Shoals.
Leasing of the steam power plant
to the Alabama Power company was
urged by the public service commis
sion, following the represcntations by
the power company that plants in the
Carolinas were suffering from lack of
power, Connection of the Alabama
line with Georgia and Carolina wires
were suggested,” Power developed at
Muscle Shoals would be supplied to
industrial plants needing it in this way.
Interests friendly to Mr, Ford's of
fer, view the proposal with suspicion
saving the power company is trying
to muddy the waters in connection
with the Ford deal

For a century the hard coal miners of eastern Pennsylvania have
dumped “reject” or waste coal into the rivers. This coal was of sup
posedly poor quality, but geology scientists have discovered that after
the waste coal has been washed down a river by the current, the grind
ing it received has made it better, in heat units, than the coal from the
mines! Accordingly, the Susquehanna, Shamokin and other rivers are
now dotted with scows on which are the best coal pumping machinery.
The Shamokin gives up 750,000 tons a year. Popular Science says that
a geologist, poking around, has just found a bed of coal in the Shamokia
of two million tons. *
