HUNS FILL TRENGHES British Make Prisoners of War Do Work. Twenty-six Thousand of Them Are Employed In Agricultural Pur- suits In Different Parts of Eng- land and Have Proved 'irery Docile-f'I'ans for Repatriation of All These Men Are Now Practi- cally Completed. LONDON, July 28, -British plans for repatriation of German prisoners of war are complete. These plans, of course, are subject to arrange- ments to be made by the joint Prison- ers Commission to meet in Paris. Up to July 23, prisoners held in Great Britain numbered 84,604. This number included 171) array airmen, 2,908 sailors, 14 naval airmen and 4,306 civilian aliens. The majority of the sick and bad- ly wounded and those suffering front shell shock have already been sent home. Several boat loads containing the last of theso cases have recently been cleared. Among those on board were Captain Karl von Mueller, commander of the cruiser Emden, Admiral von Reuter, who was held prisoner to answer for the sinking 'of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, and a son of Admiral von Tirpitz. The prisoners are scattered throughout the country, with the ex- ception of Ireland. They are kept in internment and work camps. Twenty-six thousand of them are now engaged in agricultural pursuits and 7,000 are employed by the mili- tary authorities, filling trenches mainly on the east coast. They are paid up to two pence an hour, the same as British soldiers. The authorities are experiencing no trouble with the Germans and they are described as good workers, especially along agricultural lines. All of them are more or less home- sick, particularly the officers. A few escapes have been reported, but probably only half h • dozen have succeeded in getting out of the country. There are no members of Zeppelin crews among the hostages as they were all repatriated through ex- changes during the war. MORALE WAS AFFECTED. Commission Finds Reasons for Cap- oretto Disaster. ROME, July 28. -The finding of the Government Commission appoint- ed to inquire into the Caporetto dis- aster in October, 1917, when the Italian line was broken by the great Austro -German attack, were publish- ed here Saturday. The commission report attributes the Italian defeat to three sets of causes which were: First -The powerful influence of unfavorable propaganda which ser- iously affected the morale of the Italian troops. Second -Political meddling with military plans. Third The military's Iack of vis- ion, necessary in modern warfare, under -estimation of the enemy forces, and lack of preparation and material. under -estimation of the enemy forces, and lack of preparation and material. Gen. Renato Rosso, who command- ed a part of the Italian line on the Isonzo river, was acquitted by a court-martial in March, 1919, of charges that grew out of the Capon- etto catastrophe. Montenegrins Protest. PARIS, July 28. -The Monte- negrin Government, in an official statement, replying to demands made upon it by Serbia, maintains that the Montenegrin people are engaged in an uprising against the Serbian. troops of occupation, and declares that the Serbian Government was in- teregllaped eecentlr on this subject in theParliament- at Belgrade. In the statement, the Montenegrin Government • reiterates its demand that it be given representations at the Peace Conference, and that the Serbians evacuate Montenegro in or- der to put an end to the struggle. Alleged excesses by Serbian troops in Montenegro were complained of early in this month by .the Monte- negrin Government, which is that of King Nicholas, the headquarters of which are in a suburb of Paris, King Nicholas never having recognized the action of the National Assembly of Montenegro last December in depos- ing him, and voting to unite their country with the Serbo-Croat-Slo- vanes state. Montenegro is not re- presented separately at the Peace Conference, the representatives of Jugo-Slavia looking after her interests. Wants Definite Policy. LONDON, July 28. -Former Pre- mier H. H. Asquith, speaking at Edg- ware said: "I regard with bewilderment and apprehension the part this country is playing in Russia.. The country wants a clearer definition than has yet been given of what are our com- mitments, definite and prospective. "I sincerely hope that the attempt to commit us further in Russia will be successfully resisted. The future Government of Russia will be . Suc- cessfully resisted. The future Gov- ernment of Russia is a matter for the Russian people, and for no one else, "The economic conditions of the world and of our own country were never more menacing." TEL) EXETER TIMES RIOTS IN CHICAGO. Rave Ifeeiid I?resulted /in Clasir , on Bathing Beach. CHICAGO, July 28. --Three are . dead, many are sand to be dying, and possibly one hundred have been shot or otherwise injured in a race riot that broke out at a South Side bath- ing beach. late Sunday afternoon. For many hours the lake front near 29th street was a seething mass of angrir whites and blacks. Police reserves were rushed to the scene from all parts of the city. The riot started `,.when white men objected to the presenceof the blacks in the water and attempted to drive them out. Five thousand people participated in the riot that followed. A young white man -was drowned when a rock hurled by a negro struck him on the head. Other whites may have been killed before they Ieft the water, struck down by rocks hurled by the negroes. A policeman shot and killed a negro a few minutes after the riot started. The negro fired first. Homes near the bathing beach are reported to be filled with dying. Shooting was general during the early hours of the evening. Two white men and a white girl are known to be among those shot. Racial feeling, which has been at white I1eat for weeks, following the renting of homes by negroes in the South Side residence district, reached a climax at five o'clock Sun- day afternoon, when some of the white bathers threw rocks and stones at colored bathers. The negroes retaliated. Shouts of men and screams of wo- men and girls reached bathers blocks away, and within five minutes the beaches, which lie east of the "black district," were a scene of riots, with rocks flying and guns flashing. A Chicago Tribune photographer narrowly escaped with his life, when 1,000 blacks mobbed him while he was trying to take pictures of the riot from the top of a taxicab. His camera was torn from him, and shat- tered with bricks, while blacks swarmed up the side of the taxi en- deavoring to drive him off to be trampled as others were trampling .his camera. Others tried to drag the taxi driver from his seat. Polite tried in vain to break through the ring of blacks, but the photographer escaped when the taxi chauffeur drove his car through the mob, running down , those who tried to block its progresrs.

WOULD KILL RECIPROCITY. Echo of Election of 1911 Heard In U. S. Congress. WASHINGTON,; July 28. -Repeal of the Canadian Reciprocity Act of 1911 was recomui'ended Saturday by the House Ways:'and Means Commit- tee. Some Democrats joined with the Republicans in voting for the re- peal, although others said action should be deferred pending further investigation. A report on the Canadian Reci- procity Act by Representative Young, North Dakota, pointed out that the Canadian Parliament never passed reciprocal legislation. "It is hoped," it said, "in view of the for- mal rejection by Canada of the pro- posed reciprocal agreement, that the bill may be considered without par- tizanship and speedily passed. "While the measure was sponsor- ed by a Republican President, it was opposed by a majority of the Repub- licans in Congress, and went on the statute books only because of the united support of the Democrats." Repeal of the reciprocity measure will not affect the removal of tariff duties on wood pulp, wheat flour, potatoes and potato products. A bill yet to be acted on by the committee proposes repealof these provisions except that applying to wood pulp. The committee also voted to re- commend the repeal of the ten per cent. soft drink war tax. Though to record vote was taken, Democra- tic members urged that all repeals be deferred until means for; replacing the lost revenue was found. Reduction of the war tax on fruit juices to two cents a gallon, urged by Western producers of grapes and logan berries, was also recom- mended. Measures designed to give tariff protection to several industries start- ed as war necessities also were re- commended. Those not previously announced was one imposing a duty ofi$10 a unit of 20 pounds on im- ports of tungsten. Canadian Slim Feiners. MONTREAL, July 28. -The ques- tion as to whether Eamonn De Valera, "President of the Irish Re- public," should be invited to cross the boundary and'address a Montreal audience, was discussed at a meeting of the "friends of Irish freedom," held in St. Ann's Hall Saturday. The attendance was ' not more than one hundred, and there appear- ed to be two factions, the one pre- pared to down the United Jack, and the other to fight for Irish freedom, but within. constitutional limits. The friends of De`Valera recogniz- ed that their invitation might be re- garded as an invitation to expose himself to the dangers of arrest, and in the end It was resolved that the invitation be sent to the international committee at New York, which is staging the Irish President, leaving it to that committee topersuade De Valera to come, or, in ,default, to send a worthy representative of the cause who could place the facts be- fore the public. ' AWES WANTED PEACE Ch'ertures Were Made to tiermariy "MI 7, - Herr Eraberger %Ws How the Midi:- tnrists Refused (!!ter That Caine I From Great Britain and France '.l1srough• the yawra-Dr. Mich- aelis Puts Blame on es-Kaiser-- Disclos'ares Cause Sensation. - BERLIN, July 2S. -Mathias Erse berger, Vice -Premier and Minister of Finance,.deciared in the. Gernnan Na- tional A,sserribly Saturday that Great Britain and France made peace over- tures to Germany through the Vati- can in August, 3917, and that Ger- many rejected them. Documents to support the statement were mention- ed by Herr Eraberger. These include the text of a note from Monsignor Pachelli, papal nuncio at Munich, in - closing what was said to be a tele- gram from the British Minister at the Vatican to which France assent- ed. The British note, Herr Erzberger explained, asked for a German de- claration for Belgian independence and compensation, and inquired as to what guarantee Germany would need for herself. • Chancellor Michaelis did not an- swer this note for four weeks; then, on September 24, he wrote that the situation for giving such a declara- tion was not yet sufficiently clear. Herr Eraberger promised more important revelations within a few days. The announcement caused a great sensation in the Assembly. In com- menting, Herr Erzberger said: "In 1916 President Wilson used every effort to bring about peace, but Mr. Wilson's peace work was sabot- aged by the proclamation of unre- stricted submarine warfare, and at least twice an honorable peace could have been brought about, but a fight with the military party both times prevented it. At the end of Septem- ber Y was .in Munich. The Papal nuncio came to meet me, and, with tears in his eyes, said: 'Now, every- thing is lost, and for your poor Fatherland, too!' "The collapse of Germany," con- tinued Herr Eraberger, "was not brought .about by revolution, but by madness of the country's political and military officials, by lack of poli- tical insight on the part of the Conservatives and the supreme army command. They intimidated' and terrorized the German people, and are still pursuing these aims. We had to accept a peace of violence, because that was the only way out. "We have undertaken the re- sponsibilty for their misdeeds; if they wash their hands in innocency a hundred times, with loud `nee's' they will not free themselves of their guilt, either, before us, before history, or their own consciences." Herr Erzberger concluded by pointing out the danger of revolu- tion menacing the whole of Europe. Five monarchs had been dethroned in this war with the greatest ease, and there was every likelihood of this example becoming contagious. Dr. Geo. Michaelis, the former Im- perial Chancellor, in a long declar- ation published by the Taeglische Bundschau, disclaims responsibility for refusal of peace overtures in 1917, attributed to him by Mathias Erzberger, Vice Premier, speaking in the German National Assembly. Dr. Michaelis, in his present state- ment, says that the proliosals were laid before him early in September, not August, and that he discussed them with Dr. von Kuehlmann, who was Foreign Secretary at the time. Later he requested the Emperor to hold a crown council in the presence of the supreme army and navy auth- orities. This was held on September 11, and the result of the conference, he says, was summed up by the Em- peror in the following written mem- orandum; "The annexation of Belgium is dubious. Belgium could be restored. The Flanders coast, it is true is very important, and Zeebrugge must not fall into the hands of the British. But the Belgian coastal zone could not be held. .1, "The close economic union of Bel glum with Germany wrist be brought about. Belgium has the greatest in-' terest in this." • The former ChanceIIor explains that he arranged with von Kuehl - mann to make soundings, through a suitable person, to indicate, in ac- cordance with the crown councils decision, that prerequisites for nego- tiation were recognition of Ger- many's territorial integrity, aban- donment of an economic war, and no indemnity. Great secrecy vias neces- sary, and it was considered inadvis- able to negotiate through the Vati- can, because that might have ren- dered an indiscretion by Erzberger possible. In conclusion Dr. Michaelis says: "I did my utmost, and if the plans failed it was due to the fact that our enemies were unwilling." Marine Strike Settled.
