The little family being cared for at the Shelter is growing, and fresh pro- blems arise weekly, as each new case brings with it its own difficult- ies and requirements. The Society officers will be glad to answer any enquiries from anyone contemplating the adoption of a child, and the happy results which are flowing from those recently placed, even since the opening of the Shelter, are mos; gratifying in the work. Many don- ations of articles useful in the home are being received, and the kindly interest manifested in various parts of the country is most encouraging. The home is continually in need of such things as potatoes and other vegetables, apples and canned fruit, and anyone having such to spare cannot do better than send a suply to the Shelter. In the items of business transact- ed at the last meeting were the pass- ing of the following accounts: Trav- elling and' other expenses of the agent, $36.30; provisions and need- ful articles for the Shelter, $69.21. The salary of the matron, who is proving herself a most faithful and efficient manager, was increased to $40 per month.

CASTO RIA For Infants and in Use For Over30 Years Always bears the ure of %ie Signature rte' EX -KAISER S11E1 3. Allies Cannot Agree Regarding His Crimes. rate Hosts With Council of Ten, But British and American Diplomats Claim That In Order to Punish Him It Will Be Necessary to Prove Some Specific Act of Minder. PARIS, March 17. -The prelimin- ary report of the Commission on Re- sponsibilities shows that an import- ant question has developed respecting the personal legal responsibility of the ex -Kaiser from the point of view of British and American law. Both maintain that the former Kaiser can- not be made penally responsible for acts done in his capacity as a sove- reign, such as provoking the war or violating Belgium, for in effect, as already stated in despatches, war is recognized as a legal method for set- tling differences. To bring the former Kaiser to jus- tice it will be necessary to prove some specific criminal acct, such as inciting to the murder of prisoners, or, for instance, if he decorated the captain who sank the Lusitania, that would make him in British law an accessory to the murder after the fact, The commission proposed also to set up an international tribunal for the trial of criminals withoet regard to their rank. The French make it no secret that their position is that to punish the former Kaiser is a matter of senti- ment with them, with their 1,400,000 dead, and that legal niceties should not stand in the way. The question also arises whether the procedure proposed would be in accord with the American constitution as involving retroactive legislation. The whole matter goes to the Council of Ten for a decision. The future of German -Austria is still troubling the conference, and as its union with Germany would make new German frontiers coterminus with the Italian, and on the south- west would extend along Swiss terri- tory, a condition that both of these countries and France desire to pre- vent, the latest suggestion is for the neutralization of the Tyrol, cutting off the Voralberg district from Aus- tria, and its incorporation as a new canton in Switzerland. But the French and Italian cantons oppose this solution as it would in- corporate a large additional German population in Switzerland, giving the Germans a considerable preponder- ance, and therefore the conference seems to be thrown back on the scheme for neutralization of German Austria, as on the whole the surest safeguard against its joining forces with Germany. In the meantime, as to precisely how the peace preliminaries are to be presented to,Germany, there seems a distinct conflict of views between the British and French, I am informed. Andre Tardieu stated Saturday, that as we are still formally at war with Germany that these terms be handed Germany by a military delegation, under the same conditions as the armistice, whereas British informa- tion is that as the conditions are not merely military, but also financial and economic, the German delegates must be seen respecting them. This seems to be the reasonable course, but the matter is still un- settled, CARRIED IRISH FLAG. Strange Demonstration Was Wit- nessed In Montreal. MONTREAL, March 17. -Irish- men defied the elements Sunday as they marched and slid on the slip- pery streets behind their large emer- ald banner, flanked by the green, white and orange flags of the new republic -the first occasion on which this emblem has been publicly car- ried in a St. Patrick's Day parade in Montreal.
