Soldiers Charged With Looting in France
By Newton C. Parke, International News Service. American officers faced allegations of wholesale looting in U S supply camps sold to the French government after the armistice. Charles Vavasseur charged that tens of thousands of autos and bicycles disappeared before transfer, and a motorist took cars and other goods home. He urged Washington to seek restitution and to reduce the purchase bill of around 400 million dollars. He cited Saint Suplice camp robberies and inventory delays at Vermes Camp, mocking the thieves remark with Ali Baba analogy.
