Washington.—The French ambassa
dor, Jules .1. Jesserand, made public
today a sumamry of ten documents
drawn up by various French officials

documents, which were placed in the
hands of Acting Secretary Lansing, of
the state department, by the ambas
sador, were also delivered to all signa
tories of The Hague Convention.
A letter also was sent explaining
that the French government did not
take the step with the view of de
manding any action on the part of
the United .States hut merely to re
port to this country as a signatory of
The Hague treaty evidence of how
the treaty was being carried out.
The Statement.
The statement of the ambassador
follows:
"By order of the government of the
French republic, a series of official
reports as to the way In which the
present war is being carried on In the
french territory by German troop*
have boon communicated to the pow
ers who signed The Hague Conven
tion, the United States being one of
them.
"These documents, ten in number,
show that the destruction and assas
sinations which have taken place have
been systematic and performed in ac
cordance with orders fro mthe offi
cers and not as the result of an acci
dental lack of discipline.
Not Complete.
“The facts quoted are given only as
samples and not as complete enumer
ation; they cover, moreover, only the
first three weeks after the beginning,
of hostilities (two weeks of actual
warfare] and worse deeds have been
committed since.

other things, that wounded soldiers

was issued today by the state depart

"The extent to which an American
passport held by a naturalized citizen of

land," it said, "depends principally upon
whether that vountry has concluded a
treaty of naturalization with the United
States, although, under the law of this
country, no distinction Is made between
native and .naturalized American citi
zens so far as their right to protection is
concerned. The United States has trea
