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.

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 mortality from •typhus is so great 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.

MILITARY, LAVAL AND AERIAL TERMS OF GERMAN PISARMAMENT Some of the German Warships to Go to France and Italy and Army to be Reduced to 200,000 Men ,Aerial, Force Will be Disbanded.

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 sufficient for pace defence, but it will net figure among the navies of the fist el" second class.

The last few years have provided so much of the marvelous, discover- ies have crowded so fast upon each other, that the dreams of the dream- er have been eclipsed, and reality has put to shame the writer of fiction. The meal has been too full, and the process of digestion will be slow. Of mushroom growth but marvelous ef- ficiency, the British Air Force pro- vides at once a wonderful story and a deep moral, A few years ago the airman who succeeded in getting his machine to rise from the ground, of its own voli- tion, and fly a few miles was ac- claimed. To -day airmen outpace the wind. They have deposed the birds from dominion of the air, and pres- ently their aerial Dreadnoughts, turn- ed from the dread necessities of war, will minister to •the arts of peace, It is not unprofitable to relied that when first the estimates of an Air Service were brought into Parliament before the war, the aeroplane, as a I human judgment was the best in the world.

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 Bullock Receives Pension From British Government. This bullock saved a big gun from the Turks in the British campaign on the river Tigris, where it fought with the English under its dusky commanders For its heroic work the British Government has elided it a pension of 2c per day..for life. iand tents.
