en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Homer_Haskins "Haskins became politically involved enough to become a close advisor of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, whom he had met at Johns Hopkins. When Wilson attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 where the Treaty of Versailles was drawn up, he brought only three advisors including Haskins, who served as chief of the Western European division of the American commission." So Charles H. Hasking in the A.E.F caption is not Hasking but Haskins.
