DEMAND FOR SURRENDER OF GUILTY
Evidence incriminating Many German Officials Contained in
Report of the Commission on Responsibility for the War.
A despatch from Paris says:—The
report of the Commission on Respon-
sibility for the War, now nearly fin-
ished, contains a mass of evidence of
startling chartieter, incriminating
German generals and other high offi-
cials, both civil and military, on spe-
chic charges of atrocious cruelty and
crimes of every description.
The conelusive nature of this evi-
dence is felt to warrant the proposed
inelu:,ion in the preliminary peace]
demands for guarantees that the in,-;
divideals incriminated shall be at the;
disposal of the Entente as already`
mentthned. It is understood that no'
names are mentioned, but it is in-;
tended to draft e comprehensive
clause which will include all the al-
leged criminals within its purview.
It is proposed that these shall be
made amenable to jurisdiction, but if
for any reason they should escape
trial, then the whole evidence affect-
ing them will be published to the
world.
The Committee on Responsibility
for the War follows:
Robert Lansing, United States,
chairman; Sir Gordon Howart, Great
Britain, Capt. Andre Tardieu and
Ferdinand Lernaude, France; Vit-'
torio Selaloia and Deputy Raimondo,
Italy.

ber is still on the ocean. The Febru-
ary figures show that 27,428 soldiers
sailed from England during the
month and 2,928 soldiers' dependents.
Ever since the work of bringing
home the men started, subsequent to
the signing of the armistice, the
monthly totals have been growing.
The grand total of soldiers and de-
pendents sailing from England up
to the end of February is 76,799. By
months it is made up as follows:
November, 4,921; December, 18,925;
January, 23,227; February 30,356..
The smallness of the November
total is accounted for by the fact that
transport work did not begin until
the latter part of the month.
Kill the Incurable Cases,
Hoping to Stop the Contagion
A despatch from Stockholm says:
In certain Russian provinces the

that the Bolsheviki have issued a
secret order to kill the incurable
cases, hoping thus to counteract the
contagion which is almost impossible
to stop by any other means. Hardly
any medicine is available.

The actual terms of German dis-
armament as finally cone-:de:ad,'
though not yet made public, are
summarized as follows:
Disarmament down to 200,000 :nen,
consisting of 15 divisions of infantry
and five of cavalry,`divided ,into five
army corps.. The men are to t be
chosen: by lot for one year's service,
and no class is to exceed 180,000 men.
Arm„ and ammunition are restrict-
ed to a force of 200,000 Hien, and
the balance to be delivered or de-
stroyed.
The naval terms provide similar
disarmament by a reduction of the
German fleet down to a limited basis

will net figure among the navies of

The last few years have provided
so much of the marvelous, discover-

The meal has been too full, and the

Marvelous Growth of Air Service.
When experience had proved the
value of the aeroplane in all sorts of
work and conditions, production was
intensified an hundredfold. The best
brains were set to discover the best
types of machines. Countless experi-
ments were carried out, factories
were thrown up, and the energies of
many thousands of workpeople were
concentrated on turning out bird ma-
chines. The ' marvelous growth of
the British Air Service is shown by
an official statement. The figures
show that at the outbreak of war
aeroplanes numbered 166; at the close
