In corroboration there is spread upon the records the testimony of Deputy Pierre Etienne Flandin (scarcely a flaming Bolshevist, for he was later Finance Minister under Tardieu) to the effect that he, an artillery of the French Second Army had been expressly forbidden to bombard Briey when the chance existed, and when a ten-mile penetration of the sector would have come close to spelling German ruin. And the statement of his colleague, Deputy Barthe, in the Chamber on January 24, 1919, lost little of its significance in the long, loud, vicious debates...

Aside from the motto "Ahead To World's Revolution" inscribed in the crew's game room (equipped with piano and radio) she took every precaution not to offend U. S. sensibilities. Her crew was forbidden to get drunk ashore, and they kicked down the gangplank a loud-mouthed U. S. Red who tried to turn their polite arrival into a noisy Red rally...
