ERMANS WHO FACE AN
INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL
Not Only Rx-4{aiser and Crown Prince, But Rupprecht, von Ca-
Pelle Mackensen, von Below, U Boat Commanders, Mur-
derers, and Incendiaries in Allies' Criminal List.
Even though the melodramatic offer
- of the five younger sons of William
Hohenzollern to stand trial at London
in his stead 'be ignored or declined,
two other Princes will be br•.,ught to
the bar of interallied jerieee with the
former Kaiser, aecurding to recent
cable despateb,es, They are the Crown
Prince of Prussia and Rupprecht of
Bas aria, who thus will h :ve an op-
portunity, in a common p_ ill, to re-
concile their wartime jealousies and
bickerings. •
Army officers, submarine continand-
ers, a Cabinet member, those respons-
ible for the execution of Edith Cavell
and Captain Fryatt. the instigators of
murderous prison camp brutalities,
looters and incendiaries in regions
overrun -these are included in the in-
ternational rogues' gallery. Some of
them will be tried in the countries
where their offences were committed.
Those who ordered deportations from
French towns probably will be ar-
raigned at Paris; those who set the
torch to Belgian cities, in Brussels.
U-boat commanders, who sank hospi-
tal ships, however, and others whose
offences are against humanity, such
as the ex -Kaiser and the two Princes,
may face their doom in London and
be imprisoned meanwhile in the fam-
ous old Tower.
Before the Peace Treaty was signed
notice was given to Germany that she
would be required to surrender some
offenders for trial before a tribunal re-
presenting five chief allied and as-
sociated powers, but no names were
mentioned. It seems to be assured
that the defendants will include the
following men:
Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
known to his admirers as "the anvil of
the West." who is reported in official
documents to have ordered his men to
take no Britishers alive. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle compiled and edited. a Ee-
cord of the evidence on which Great
Britain based her charge that Rup-
precht was responsible not only for
that order. but for the execution of
British prisoners. He is held respons-
ible also for deportations from Lille,
Roubaix, Tureoing and other towns.
Admiral Edward Charles Ernest von
Capelle. the German Minister of Mar-
ine succeeding von Tirpitz, is the
Cabinet member who faces arraign-
ment for unrestricted submarine war-
fare He is held responsible not only •
for the policy of general U-boat activi-
ty, but for the atrocities practiced by
their commanders. He is of plebeian
birth, and achieved his high post- be-
cause von Tirpitz found him an apt
and industrious pupil. His father was
a manufacturer at Celle, in Hanover,
and claimed Hugenot descent; and
the son was not raised to the nobility
until 1912, after he had demonstrated
to the then Kaiser his prospective use -
Commanders Max Valentiner and
von Forstner and Lieutenant Wil-
helm Wernher, submarine command-
ers, are to be arraigned with von
Capelle for sinking hospital ships.
Each of these men was decorated by
the Kaiser for some exceptional atroci-
• ty of the high seas, Valentiner, son of
the Dean of the Sondorsburg Cathed-'
ral, was credited with the sinking of
the Lusitania, and was acclaimed in
Germany therefor. Berlin newspapers
asserted that he had sunk 123 vessels,]
Field Marshal August von Macken -
son is charged with thefts, in$endiar-
ism and executions in his.spectacular
onslaught into Rumania in 1916. He
seizeii vast stocks of grain, a million
head of cattle. two million sheep and
goats, a third of a million pigs, and
69,000,000 marks in gold. His men set
the torch to Rumanian villages. and
are said to have shot down Rumanian
prisoners solely for terrorization.
Paid Marshal von illackensen is 70
years old. He and Himlenburg are
the only holders of the Grand Cross
of the Inn Cross. His age may pro-
tect him front extremely severe pun-
ishment.
General Otto von Below, charged
with the burning of Ardenne and the
shooting of 100 persons. Otto von Be-
low served in Russia, then made an
ineffectual effort to save Monastir,
and later led the Austro -German
forces in the offensive against the
Italians along the Isonzo in October,
1917,
General Llama von Sanders, who
fled ignominiously when his army in
alesopotamla was surrounded by the
British. is charged with massacres of
Armenians and Syrians.
Laron Oscar von der Lancken was
head of the German political depart-
ment in Brussels, and is held partly
accountable for the murders of Edith
Cavell and Captain Fryatt. Ambassa-
dor Brand Whitlock and Hugh S. Gis-
sou, Secretary to the Legation. ap-
pealed in vain to von der Lancken to
intercede for the nurse. Not only did
he decline, but he prevented appeals
from being sent over his head to high-
er authorities. Further, he refused a
request that the body be delivered to
the Belgian School for Nurses after
the execution.
General Baron Kurt von Manteuffel
was military commander of Louvain
when Miss Cavell was slain, and is
held jointly responsible with the Bar-
on for her death. General von
Schroeder was the military officer im-
mediately responsible for the murder
of Captain Fryatt.
General von Tesey is charged with
the execution of 112 civilians at Arlon
in Belgium; General von Ostrowsky
with the pillage. of Deynze and the
massacre of 163 civilians; Major von
Buelow with the destruction of Aers-
chot and the execution of 130 civilians.
Generals Olsen and von Cassel are
the highest officers under charges
growing out of prison camp cruelties,
They were in charge at Doberitz.
Lieutenant Rudiger was guilty of bru-
tality at Ruhleben, Major von Goertz
at Magdeburg, and two brothers
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
Rochlin, who were arrested by the
French in the Sarre Valley, and were
found to have stolen vast quantities
of machinery. They had assembled
their loot in a field. and it covered
several acres.
These men are now on the interna •
-
Lional criminal docket. Possibly other
names may be added later.
BRITAIN HAS LIST , $50,000 FOR FLIGHT
OF HUNS FOR TRIAL ; INDIA TO SOUTH AFRICA
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 Germane
ratified the treaty, the Council of Five
so far has done notirtng toward Mak-
ing up such a list. It is understood,
however, the English have a number
of names already filed.
1tnerica ns, Japanese and Italians I
openly disfavor trying to extradite the
former Raiser, and the French are
lukewarm upon the matter. So it is
expected it will be a British fight to
Insist on the trial in London.
Contant vigilance against weeds is !
the price required to maintain a clean!
farm.
A newsboy on the corner was'
shouting "'Xtra, Read all about the
big robbery" A motorist stopped at
the words and inquired: "Has the
price of 'gas' been hoisted again ?"
A despatch from London says: -The
Daily Express offers a prize of 410,-
00, open to the whole world with the
exception of the late enemy countries,
far an air flight establishing commune
cation on a commercial basis with In-
dia and South Africa.
All competing machines must carry
a cargo of at least one ton on both out-
ward and homeward frights.
Factors to be considered in the
award will be the average reliability'
and air worthiness of the machines. I

WAKE UP.
OUR town should wake up to the fact that some one else is occupying the seat that really belongs to us.
This intruder represents out-of-town business houses that take away business that should go to our own mer-
chants. When will our town wake up? As long as we remain asleep the intruder will keep his place. Only when
we decide on the policy of co-operation are we fully awake. We have seen the havoc and ruin of neglecting home
interests. Now is the time for Co-op eration.

NEW .GIANT OF THE AIR.
British Dirigible Will Have Cruising
Radius of 16,000 Miles.
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 an equipment of six airplanes
for its own protection against heavier-
than-air craft.
This dirigible and the two hangars
to be built for it will coat nine million,
according to information reaching
military men here. It will have a
capacity of ten million cubic feet, will
he 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 18 to 20 months, is given as
16,000 miles, and it could, it is claimed,
easily undertake the voyage from Eng-
land to Australia. '

CROPS A FAILURE
Severe Drought Causes Serious
Condition in Southern Part
of Province.
A despatch from Calgary, Alta.,
says: --The cloaking of the 'actual
crop conditions in Southern Alberta
this year has been a disaster, accord-
ing to a statement made this morning
by H. W. Wood, President of the
United Farmers of Alberta.
He said that the present situation
which has arisen as a result of the
severe drought is nothing short of a
calamity, and the optimistic reports
which were sent out from different
sections of thc Province in an at-
tempt 'to buoy up time spirits of the
people, have brought about a serious
condition of affairs, and the remedy
must be suggested' quick before mat-
ters reach a critical stage.
Though not pessimistic, Mr. Wood
said that conditions are indeed seri-
ous. The crop of the south is a fail-
ure, and the farmers are without feed
for their stock. He does not consider
that there is sufficient feed in the
north to supply the stock, and unless
some prompt action is taken there will
be heavy loss suffered by the farmers
and stockmen.

The Deserted Camp.
The sun shines brightly over all,
The grass is green, the sky is fair;
But lonely is the camping ground,
Bereft of those who sojourned there.
The tents are gone -a vacant space
Tramped hard where men went to
and fro,
With clean -swept platforms here and
'there,
Is all the old camp has to show.
A mascot cat, with drobping tail,
Goes wandering adown the street
'Which once sodpopulous with men,
Was hazardous for feline feet.
A flock of sparrows, silent all,
Are foraging for shanty feed
Beside the mess house, .closed and
cold,
Where late they fared quite well in-
deed.
A Red Triangle tent,.half-wrecked,
Still stands amid deserted ways,
While cheerful workers hear away
Equipment used in recent days.
The boys are gone -the thousands who
Came hither in the months'now past;
The foe they, eager, longed to meet
All scattered or destroyed at last.
And so, let fell destruction's hand
Obliterate this spreading hive,
While, thankful, we are glad to know
The boys who 'filled it are alive,
We mourn not for the glory gone -
The busy days, the crowded ranks, -
But that its usefulness is o'er
We one and ail give cheerful
tb anks.
A Color Collection.
To be color -ignorant may not be so
bad as to be color-blind, but it is an
affliction. To remove it, read on.
Ipchineai insects provide has with
the finest colors of carmine, crimson,
and scarlet; anti 'blue -black. beloved
of Futurists, comes from the charcoal-
ized stalk of the vine.
Indian ink is not Indian, but is made
by the Chinese from a secret process,
of burning 'camphor.
Bistro is just the prepared soot of
wood ashes. Real ultramarine is made '
from the lapis -lazuli stone, and is al-
most :priceless.
Air, 'despite artists, has no color;
pure water is pale blue in color. And
the blueness of. the summer sky -al-
though there is no sky, literally speak-
ing -is due solely to the particles of
dust in the air,
Color doesn't really exist at all, be-
ing but vibratory light. For instance,
snow appears white to us, because its
crystals . reflect the rays of which
white is composed.' Anti a violet is
blue, not because it is, but because the
undulations of 'ether which touch its
surface are thrown back with the tit.
most rapidity, blue being the high
treble vibration of light.
"Success doesn't happsn. It is
organized, pre-empted, captured by
'concentrated common s'ens'e." c,£^

The Deserted Camp.
The sun shines brightly over all,
The grass is green, the sky is fair;
But lonely is the camping ground,
Bereft of those who sojourned there.
The tents are gone -a vacant space
Tramped hard where men went to
and fro,
With clean -swept platforms here and
'there,
Is all the old camp has to show.
A mascot cat, with drobping tail,
Goes wandering adown the street
'Which once sodpopulous with men,
Was hazardous for feline feet.
A flock of sparrows, silent all,
Are foraging for shanty feed
Beside the mess house, .closed and
cold,
Where late they fared quite well in-
deed.
A Red Triangle tent,.half-wrecked,
Still stands amid deserted ways,
While cheerful workers hear away
Equipment used in recent days.
The boys are gone -the thousands who
Came hither in the months'now past;
The foe they, eager, longed to meet
All scattered or destroyed at last.
And so, let fell destruction's hand
Obliterate this spreading hive,
While, thankful, we are glad to know
The boys who 'filled it are alive,
We mourn not for the glory gone -
The busy days, the crowded ranks, -
But that its usefulness is o'er
We one and ail give cheerful
tb anks.
A Color Collection.
To be color -ignorant may not be so
bad as to be color-blind, but it is an
affliction. To remove it, read on.
Ipchineai insects provide has with
the finest colors of carmine, crimson,
and scarlet; anti 'blue -black. beloved
of Futurists, comes from the charcoal-
ized stalk of the vine.
Indian ink is not Indian, but is made
by the Chinese from a secret process,
of burning 'camphor.
Bistro is just the prepared soot of
wood ashes. Real ultramarine is made '
from the lapis -lazuli stone, and is al-
most :priceless.
Air, 'despite artists, has no color;
pure water is pale blue in color. And
the blueness of. the summer sky -al-
though there is no sky, literally speak-
ing -is due solely to the particles of
dust in the air,
Color doesn't really exist at all, be-
ing but vibratory light. For instance,
snow appears white to us, because its
crystals . reflect the rays of which
white is composed.' Anti a violet is
blue, not because it is, but because the
undulations of 'ether which touch its
surface are thrown back with the tit.
most rapidity, blue being the high
treble vibration of light.
"Success doesn't happsn. It is
organized, pre-empted, captured by
'concentrated common s'ens'e." c,£^
