WOMAN ACCUSES U.S. OFFICER

Mrs. James Anderson of Canada Hits Co|. Reichmann in Senate Probe. Washington, Aug. 31— Mrs. James Anderson of Victoria, B. C., wife of a Canadian colonel, appeared before the senate subcommittee on military affairs in the case of Col. Carl Relchmann, U. S. A., against whom Mm. Anderson and others have made charges of pro-Germanism. Colonel Reichmann's nomination to be a brigadier general has been held up pending the inquiry into the charges. Mrs. Anderson insisted that the remarks made by Colonel Reichmann in her presence had been pro-German and not such as a loyal soldier would make. The committee cross-examined her closely. ■ It was Mrs. Anderson who gave to Senator Poindexter of Washington the Information regarding Colonel Reichmann which led to the fight against confirmation of his nomination for promotion.
