ARE ABLE TO PUNISH WILLIAM • Marquis of Crewe Anxious : That Technicalities Shall Not Serve to Protect I hose Guilty of War Crimes ~ - Recpons-blliiy for punishing the . former German emperor and other j High German officials for crime cortv- j mltted during the war must rest , with governments and not with ! jurists, according to the Marquis of Crewe, former secretary ot state for the colonies, in a letter published I in the Westminster Gazette, J-ondon. I He writes; "The atrocities in Belgium, the | ill-treatment of prisoners and the ex- i ecutions of Captain Fryatt and Miss , Edith Cavell are acts that can be j brought home to the induioual per sons concerned and punishment can t be inflicted oy tribunals. When, how- , ever, we co beyond these persons, responsibility is altered. The Cor- . mer German ymperor and the high er German politicians must be sur rendered firs: and then punished by J executive acts. For this procedure there are mos. ample precedents. These criminals _ can be put away where they will • have no further chance of bringing | mischief on the world, or they can be i executed. In other words it is tm- I portant that legal technicalities must f not be allowed to divert the hands • of iustice as they well may do. in a : field in which there is no basis of . previous law to govern nrocedutc The responsibility must not rest with jurists, but with governments.” | Thirteen Are Missing From Burning Coach - On Canadian Pacific Advices received here tell of the, destruction by fire of a tourist coach i on a Canadian Pacific train which left Winnipeg for Toronto and say t that thirteen passengers aboard the : coach are missing.

Thirty Barrels of Booze Camouflaged in Tar Thirty barrels of whisky from Cin cinnati. Ohio, and Louisville. Ky„ were seized at Maccn by federal of ficers.

General March, chief of staff, is doing his utmost to .epeed up the discharges in this country. But de spite this there has been a constant flow of orders and counter orders. Every man has to go through a tedious process of ticketing and checking. For instance, in one branch of tiie war department men who had in applications for dis charge filled out the proper papers. The next day orders had been chang ed and they’ had to fill out a second set of biunkF— almost similar. And, then a few days later, they had td, fill out another set of blanks which added ‘little to the others. This experience is being repeated In other branches of the service. “Orders” are orders in the army and there is little latitude for indi vidual judgment or discretion. As a result some hardships are. being worked in the demobilization process. Red tape, too, has worked many hardships with respect to both sol diers' pay and allotments. German Cruelties to Prisoners Condemned Spanish investigators, who have conducted an inquiry into the shoot ing of French prisoners ot war at the German prison camp at Langen salza, have forwarded their report to tho French government authori ties, according to the Petit Journal. The newspaper says the report de clares that tho attitude ot the prisoners did not justify the ruthless methods of the Germans. Germans Thought Gas Turned Y anks Black The following story was told in r. soldier's letter, ’ - eceived in Mem phis from France: The Germans had been shelling and gassmg an American trench all day and night. During the aight the American defenders were relieved and replaced by a negro unit. The following day a prisoner declared that n German officer had reported to his commander that he “had gassed the Americans till they were black in the face, but they were still hold ing out.” Penrose Urges Tariff As National Safeguard The United States must return to tho policy of a protective tariff dur ing th& reconstruction period and ’ hereafter. Senator Penrose, ranking Republican on the finance commit tee. declared in debating the reve nue bill in Washington this week. “Ou*' success in tnte war.” Penrose asserted, “was due In large measure to the nation’s Industrial strength,’’ which, he said, “would not have been possible without our protective pol icy of nearly sixty years.” HOTELS BAK GERMANS The general syndicate of French hotel men announces that It has de cided that for ten years it will not receive a native of enemy countries as an employe or customer.

Add This Mule to the Long List Oj World War’s Roll of Martyrs Sessions of the Narrow Escape club ' are continuous in Paris these days ! as the soldiers and war workers ’ foregathe’r, but the star episode so i far concerns the mule that saved a ; “Y” man. Both the name of the Y. M. C. A. secretary and of the mule concerned . have been lost in history. The secretary, attached to a bat talion at the time just behind the i front line, was trying to find his dug- i out in the dark, and under shelltire. . It was not dark —it was black. And ■ high explosive was bursting so near ’ and so frequently that the secretary was nut able to pu this mind wholly on the search.

A plan I <■! actio’, and method of approaching • the difficult questions that will arise “ in the conference among rulers and | foreign secretaries has now been for mulated. The president will do busi ness for the present with Great Brit- • i a!n, France and Italy, occasionally ' consulting the other belligerents. . j This is necessary in order to get the I j most powerful belligerents into ear- ■ I ly agreement. Colonel House has told Mr. Wilson > ' the details of his talks with Lloyd I ; George, Clemenceau and Orlando. ’ Some day there will be an tnterest : ' ing narrative of how European 1 statesmen came reluctantly to decide I to accept tho fourteen points with j only two reservations. They were ; disposed to make such exceptions, | | respecting territory and other ques- I 1 lions as to cause apprehension of a i 1 possible break, but were won over . I when they were informed that the I I piesldent might have to lay all the ■ i datails before the American congress ’ ’ and ask how far the American peo . ' pie would be willing to fight for j distinctly British. French or Italian > ' war aims. s i Two Exceptions ’ ' While these preliminary confer i ! ence.a ended harmoniously, the two ■ ■ exceptions taken In tho ireedem ot i the seas and indemnity—emphasized i the large points of difference which still prevailed. England at first took i | the position that nobody had a evert to discuss the freedom of the seas, and the other belligerents want i ed such a largo indemnity as to crip - 1 pie Germany for generations and ■ ! which, according to the Amer.can ■ I point of view, would bring about ' Bolshevism, thus making it impos- ! t I ST W l,ll If? * 'P* i x < ™ BMr | ’ -1 Iw!

The secretary rolled over a few times, sat up, and blinked with astonish ment at a ilickering candle stump. He had been kicked directly into his dug out. At that moment a shell landed seemingly at the front door but did no more damage than to blow off the gas curtain. The next morning, how ever, the secretary found unmistak able evidence that the mulo had died where he stood. He does not know, and naturally never can know, whether the mule was friend or ene my of the Y. M. C. A- • sible for Germany to .pay anything toward restoration. _ - ~ that America wished ' a durable peace and not to be a par ity to a new balance of power in Eu- • rope, Colonel House, speaking tor ' Mr. Wilson, was successful in get : ting the allies to abandon several , exceptions and to leave the subjects ; of freedom of the seas and indemnity I for discussion by the peace congress. . It now becomes necessary for Mr. Wilson to strengthen and amplify the views expressed by Colonel ; House, so that an informal agree -1 > ment can be reached upon which the I peace congress can open, i■ " Inasmuch as Germany will not . participate In the conferences until - the allies .agree definitely upon a program, and since Germany will be ; compelled to sign a peace just as the . armistice was imposed upon her, Mr. . I Wilson feels a responsibility to see . i that arrangements are made that ■ will lead to a real peace. Instead of i a new balance of power against the i United States or against the Central . I empires. Wilson’s Responsibility • | With the constant necessity ot ! maintaining armaments. Mr. Wilson will strongly insist upon the cre- I ation of a league of nations as the I fundamental thing with the admis ‘ sion of Germany probationary for I I the time, dependent upon her abil ’ ity to establish a stable government ■ ; and discharge her international ob- ligations, which Is merely another I 1 way of saying that all the powers ' will wait to see what kind of gov- I I ernment arises before according tne ‘ : usual diplomatic recognition. Mr. ' ' Wilson feels that it is hardly worth. . i while for America to participate tn I a peace conference unless the treaty 1 1 drawn up is guaranteed support by i a league of nations. I Moreover, Mr. Wilson has told ills ’ ; friends that neither of the other ! statesmen can sit in Paris imagining ■' themselves lords and masters of mankind, authorized to make any ‘ J treaty agreeable to themselves, but ■ ; that It will be absolutely necessary to determine what the people want, for it was their war and the business ’I of the peace congress is to find out , ! the people’s wishes and follow them.

This hope became a reality when it was announced at headquarters that regimental and other organiza tion commanders have been author ized to grant furloughs to enlisted men for the Christmas holidays. The length of the furlough will not exceed ten days and men will not be allowed to leave in excess of 5 per cent of the command. Men who aro to be soon discharged from the camp are not fur loughs. It will be remembered that last year no furloughs were granted, it being the opinion of the authorities that such a step would greatly in terfere with the luteneive training schedule in operation at that time. ; President Wilson Wins Reputation as Good Story Teller EY ROBERT J. BENDER, The statesmen of Europe are j laughing at President Wilson’s jokes. I He was noted in Washington as a 1 story teller, and his reputation in • that regard is already made here. ; Premier Clemenceau especially en- I joyed some of the president's illus j trative quips. i Though they deeply appreciate the i honors shown the president, the American party is glad the ceremo- I »iics are ended, so that they can get I down to work. • ■" j More silk hats have been on ex ' bibition in Paris during the past few I days than at any time since 1914.
