Japanese newspapers today publish the terms of an Amerian proposal to send

American troops to Siberia. The newspapers declare that the Japanese government has decided to accept the suggestion made by the American government that Japan also send troops.

German atrocities against the people of Belgium and France were graphically described to a representative of The Palladium by Captain John E. Scott, of the United States Signal corps, Friday, who spent almost a year with the American Eexpeditionary Forces In France. Captain Scott is visiting in Richmond at the home of his mother, Mrs. Nora Green, 229 South Ninth street. He was ordered back to America from the trenches to act as an instructor in the signal corps training camp at Beauregard, La. Captain Scott enlisted with the United States Signal corps of the regular army In April of 1914, and in November, 1917, was commissioned a first lieutenant while in service in France. He sailed for France with

some of the first troops sent across the water, In June, 1917. After being In active service in France for about a year he was ordered back to America to act as a signal corps instructor,

and on July 10, 1918, was commissioned a captain at Camp Beauregard. "After seeing actual evidences of German atrocities in France, committed against the Innocent women and children of both France and Belgium," Captain Scott said, "I am almost willing to believe any kind of a story of cruelty on the part of these Hun barbarians that I may hear. Children Mutilated. "On one occasion I saw between 20 and 30 little Belgian children in a hospital behind the front line trenches with their right hands severed from their bodies. Only the ragged stumps remained to show where once the hand had been. "All of the women I have Been in France, no matter what their nationality may bef carry upon their persons a small vial of poison. I have had Borne of these women tell me that if they should ever be captured by the Germans, or in such danger that they knew they could not escape the Huns, they would drink this deadly poison. The atrocities on the part of the Huns are certainly terrible when women prefer death to capture." Since coming to this country Captain Scott has delivered lectures for the Red Cross society and at Camp Beauregard he delivers two or three lectures weekly to the men training for signal corps work. He spent four months in the front line trenches in France, and though he has never beer wounded he said that he has had sev eral narrow escapes. He helped tc build and establish the first telephone and telegraph lines erected to connect

the American front line with the head quarters to the rear. He also trainer' for five months in signal corps worl behind the front line trenches. Americans Well Treated. "American troops in France are we'' satisfied with their treatment," Car tain Scott said. "They are well fee and well clothed, they are comfortabl and in better health and conditio than any of the soldiers of any of th other allied armies. "When the American soldiers firwent into the front lines, they wer of course, frightened. Then when tli boys became used to the incessar barrage of bullets and shrapnel, thei fright wore off, and they graduallj

Copyright by Cllnedlnst. CAPTAIN JOHN E. SCOTT cfiame to regard it as a part of their daily lives. They are better soldiers than any of the allies because they have more 'pep,' and are fresh. The Americans are regarded over there as the greatest fighters in the world, and the present drive In which our boys have accomplished great things, evidences the fact that they are certainly living up to that reputation. The Boches are no match for them, and I am as certain that America's entrance into this war will win it for allies, as I am certain that there is a God in heaven." Captain Scott did not take part in any big battles, though, he was in several small trench raids. At one time he was bound for Toul, France, on a mission, and losing his way at night he drove into Nancy, several miles off his route. He arrived just in time to witness an aerial raid on the part of the Huns. "Bombs weighing from 50 to 500 pounds were dropped onto the city

by the Hun aviators, the captain J

said,

nearby the detonation seemed to shake the very filling . from your teeth. The people of the city; however, did not seem to be seriously disturbed, and ; concealed themselves in cellars and dugouts until the raid had passed. - I believe that I myself was the most frightened person in the whole place. I escaped unharmed, however, and later found my way back to the road and reached Toul safely." . ;, ..... French Morale Splendid. Captain Scott was in Paris while the , long range German ? guns were shelling the city, and saw a church that was struck by one of the shells and practically - demolished. Sixty persons worshipping in the auditorium of the church at the time, were killed by the bursting shell. Captain Scott praised the French people for their treatment of the American soldiers, and for the splendid morale and spirit the nation is showing in this critical period. He said that the newspapers of America had more to say about shelling Paris than did the newspapers . in ,. the French capital. On clear nights Captain Scott said the people of Paris take their evening meals on the lawns outside their homes, and wait and watch for German raiders. The moment they are sighted the people seek shelter in dugouts and cellars, and when the raid has passed they go to bed in a most unconcerned mantfer. Their spirit is a wonderful thing to see, he said, and an inspiration to any man. He praised the Salvation Army and the Red Cross for the splendid work these organizations are doing in the field. He said there are Salvation army and Y. M. C. A. huts close to the trenches, and men and women served the boys in the field with coffee, hot chocolate and cakes, and did all in their power to keep up their spirits.
