Major General Henry T. Allen, commander of the American troops in the occupied Rhineland, and an officer who does honor to his country, has made a very interesting report upon the use of French colored troops in the Rhineland, Germany. General Allen finds that the Germans haye used the presence of these colored troops as the basis for a violent and exaggerated anti-French propaganda, and that some German newspapers have honorably admitted such exaggeration. Up to June 1, 1920, 66 eases of alleged sexual crime ware officially reported to the French military authorities against their colored Colonial troops in the Rhineland.
