They wore in charge at Doberitz.
Lieutenant Rudiger was guilty of bru-

named Niemeyer at the Holzminden
and Clausthal camps.
Some of the facts about -the mis-
treatment and starvation of prisoners
at these camps became public through
official documents during the war, In
many cases the brutalities inflicted
upon the men, particularly the British,
were the direct cause of death.
There remain two brothers named

French in the Sarre Valley, and were

several acres.
These men are now on the interna-

names may be added later.
BRITAIN HAS LIST
OF HUNS FOR TRIAL
A despatch from Paris says: -Al-
though the German Peace Treaty pro-
vides a list of Germans the Allies want
to try, and it must be submitted with-
in 30 days from the time the Gm:Mans
ratified the treaty, the Council of Five
so far has done nothing toward mak-
ing up such a list. It is understood,
however, the English have a number
of names already filed.
Americans, Japanese and Italians
openly disfavor trying to extradite the
former Kaiser, and the French are
lukewarm upon the matter. So it is
eipected it will be a British fight to
insist ou the trial in London.

NEW GIANT OF THE AIR.
British' Dirigible Will Have Cruising
Radius of 16,000 Mlles.
Word has reached air experts of
Canada that the British Government
has begun the construction of the
largest dirigible that has yet been un-
dertaken in the world, one that will
carry au equipment of six airplanes
for its own. protection against heavier-
than-air craft.
This clirigible and the two hangars
to be built for it will cost nine million,,
according to information reaching
military men here. It will have a
capacity of ten million cubic feet, will
be 1,100 feet long, 137 feet in diameter
and capable of lifting 100 tons, which
would be more than double the lifting
capacity of the R-34, which has just
made a round-trip voyage across the
Atlantic. The cluising radius of the
new dirigible, which will be finished
in from 13 to 20 maths, is given as
16,000 miles, and it coal:den is claimed,
easily undertake the voyage from Eng-
land to Australia.

Canadian soldiers still remain in
