itMfv a hearing before the House foreign af
fairs committee on lesclutions relating
to the alleged ill treatment.
The Polish Government in turn win
defended against the pogrom charges
fby Representative Kleczkn. of "Wiscon
sin, who asserted the reports of massa
cres were of "German origin, designed
to show that Poland was incnpible of
self-government." The Poles in this
country, he asserted, courted an inves
tigation of their native land.
Frank L. Phillips, assistant secretary
of state, appeared before the committee
to present a report received by the
Stats Department from Hugh Oition,
the new American minister tn Toland
The report said house-to-house fighting
occurred in Vilna May 5. but that Ger
man press accounts of it were" said to
be exaggerated. Further reports from
Minister Gibson V.J11 be ghon the com
mittee today b Secretary Phillips.
Resolutions Bringing Hearing
Three resolutions, one by each of the
three New Tork representatives, led to
the hearing.
Representative Sicgel in his resolu
tion proposed that the State Depart
ment request President "Vilon to in
form the Peace Conference that Ameri
can sentiment deplores the alleged out
rages. Representative La Guardia's resolu
tion .provides that the American peace
delegation inform the nations in iWikIi
the acta arc said to hne occuried that
they 'would be denied the friendship of
tho United States should the acts be
continued.
The President is called upon by Rep
resentative Goldfogle's measure to take
steps to stop an) ill treatment of Jens.
Vnrtbuked, Sajs Sicgel
"We did not go into this var to help
set up goenments that will tolerate
open murder." Mr. Siegel told the com
mittee, after reading numerous news
paper reports of the alleged pogroms in
Poland, Rumania and Galicia.
"Were these acts committed by law
less bands or authorized bv the go em
inent?" Mr. Siegel was asked.
"They are being committed by the
established military authority," he an
swered, "and the gov eminent has not
said a single word that any one has
been punished for theBe acts."

New York, June 3 Dcclarfng that
the "blizzards of the world arc gathered
at Paris," Michael .1. Ryan, of Phila
delphia, leturnid delegate of the 'Irish
nice in America" to the Pence Con
ference, sounded a 'all to the millions
of Irishmen in the country to "educate
our fellow Americans to the dan
ger" in the United States "binding
herself to England in the league of nations."
Mr. Rjan was addressing a meeting
here of the victory fund committee of
the Friends of Irish Freedom last
night, haing returned ahead of Frank
P. .Walsh and former Gocrnor Edward
P. Diintie, of Illinois, to report on the
failure of Irish -Americans to obtain
admittance to the Peace Conference of
representatives of the "Irish republic."
"The world is being petitioned off,"
Mr. Ryan declared. "The huguc of
nations cocnunt is an iniquitous thing
for America. Today the danger is up
palling for this couutrj to stand b
Fngland if Australia wishes nnd she
will wish If the great Dominion to the
north of us wishes nnd she will wish
to sexer the bonds which bind her to
England. People in New York know
ns much about the drafting of the league
of nations as all but fix petrous in nil
France The covenant of the league was
dictated by ho men
The statement of open covenants
openh arrived nt has fillen into the
discard, 'lhe fourteen points not only
hnc been blunted, but hae altogether
disappeared
The leugue of nations, in mv humble
judgment, is devised for the preberutiou
focr of the Ilritish empire.
"As it stands todav, as an American,
I do not beliee this grett nation should
tie itself up with nations nnd peoples
with which it has nothing in common,
and I should neer consent to giving
up my bois to die in a war in which
tills country has no interest.
"I pray the coenant of the league
of nations shall be defeated In this
government. Let us educate our fellow
Amcricins let there be no binding of
us to England."
Asserting that "if England would
but withdiaw her nrmy of 111,000 sol
diers," Ireland was prepared to govern
herself properly. Mr. It) an suggested
that there could be "no finer thing"
than to hac healthy New Yorkers buy
ships from the United States Shipping
Hoard and send them to the "Iiish Re
public" with supplies, bringing the ves
sels back with products of Ireland "and
help open up trade with the new republic."

Croix de Ouerre,

struck "Caddie," the pride of the
Fifth Regiment Marines, during '
the intense fighting near the town
of Bouresches in the Chateau
Thierry sector last June, but its
badly lacerated body did not deter
it from mixing in all the fighting
from then to Armistice Day, nor
from going up into Germany
with the Army of Occupation.
Despite the ninety thousand
miles "Caddie" traveled while
overseas and the valiant service
rendered to the Marines, its day
of rest and retirement has not
come. It is now on duty in Phila
delphia attracting attention to
the need for men in the U. S.
Marine Corps, whose motto,
"Semper Fidelis," it has exempli
fied to the letter.
All of which means that the
Cadillac touring car, 1917 model,
bearing the registry "U. S. 1126"
and proudly displaying three
service chevrons, a wound stripe
and the honored scars of battle,
has been" shipped back to the
United States after being in con
tinuous service in the thickest of
the fighting, and is now being
used for exhibition purposes by
Marine Corps recruiters in Phila
delphia. x , .
"U. S. 1126" was the first auto
mobile to be landed with the
American forces, going over with
the- Fifth Regiment of Marines
in the De Kalb and arriving
June 28, 1917. It was returned
to this country recently on the
same transport that carried Brig
adier General Logan Feland,
commander of the Fifth Marine
Regiment, who is extremely
proud of the car and its per
formance. General Feland explained that
the "U. S. 1126," while in France,
responded to every roll call, never
was A, W. O. L. and never went
to sick, bayf except for one day,
when a German shell landed a
few yards away and thirty-seven
shell fragments struck the car
from stem to stern. The shell
damaged only the body, and the
next day the Cadillac was again
in service, transporting the regi
mental commander to all parts of
the battle line. No attempt was
made to repair the' damage, and
the car todav represents an inspir
ing reminder of ,the dangers
through which the Fifth Marines'
officers, and men passed.
Absent Without Leave,
fRepair Shop,
Wherever the Fifth' Marines
.went, there the "U. S. 1126" went,
too. The regiment changed com
manding officers three times, but
the car remained with the regi
ment, being used successively by
Brigadier Generals Charles A.
Doyen (now deceased), "W. C.
Neville and Logan Feland, who
were commanders of the regi
ment in turn.
From the Chateau Thierry sec
tor it was driven to the Soissons
area, then to the St. Mihiel drive,
then to the Champagne front,
winding up the fighting in the
roadless Argonne - Meuse dis
trict and, at last, carrying officers
into the Rhineland for the Army
of Occupation.
The Cadillac was driven by Sgt.
George Damewood, whose moth
er, Mrs. Emma Damewood, lives
at Little York, 111., Sgt. Dame
wood estimates the distance cov
ered by the car as 90,000 miles,
and asserts that no matter how
bad the roads or how roadless
was the territory to be cohered,
"U. S. 1126" always went
through, He says that he experi
enced less engine trouble on these
wartime journeys than he had
in the old davs when he was a
chauffeur in this country. .
Official records indicate that the
chauffeur was as trustworthy as
was the.Cadillac. General Orders
No. 53 of the -Second Division,
under date of September 12, 1918,
contain the citation of Sergeant
Damewood for distinguished
service in carrying messages and
assisting wounded officers and
men during the capture of Vierzy
in July. W
Sgt. Damewood and pthermen of
the Fifth Regimenttiisplayed an
unusual affection for tlie Cadillac
veteran of many battles. After
they had settled down in Ger
many, the men requested and ob
tained permission to deqorate the
car. Three gold service chevrons
were painted on the cowl to the
left of the driver and one gold
wound stripe on the cowl to the
right.
Philadelphia'recruiters now Using
the car have, asked permission
to inscribe on its sides the motto
of the Corps : "Ever Faithful."
"Caddie" will be on exhibition all this week in the showroom of the
Autombbile Sales Corporation, 142 North Broad Street. A representa
tlvc from the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Headquarters,
1409 Arch Street, will be in attendance.
