Fle1d Marshal August von Macken - sen is charged with thefts, incendiar- ism and executions in his apo0tacular onshing'ht into Rumania in 1910. He seized vast stocks of grain, a million head gf cattle, two million sheep and goats, a third of a million pigs, and 60,000,004 marks In gold. His men set the tei•eh, to Rumanian villages, and areetai0. l.0 have shpt down Rumanian ptisotiers solely for terrorization. i Field Marshal von Maokensen is 70 years old,/ 1 -Te and Hindenburg are the only holders of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross. His age may pro- tect hint from extremely severe pun- ishment General Otto von Below, charged With the burning of Arilenne and the shooting of 100 persons. Otto Lon Be- low served In Russia, thew 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 Liman von Sanders, ,who Bed ignominiously when his army in Mesopotamia was surrounded by the British, is charged with massacres of Armenians and Syrians,' Baron Oscar von der Lancken was head of the German political depart- ment in Brussels, and isheld partly accountable_ for the murders of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt. Ambassa- dor Brand Whitlock and Hugh 9. `Gil- son, 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 Matiteuffel 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 150 civilians. Generals Olsen and von Cassel are the highest. officers under charges growing out of prison ::amp cruelties. They were in charge at Doberitz. Lieutenant •Rudiger was guilty of bru- tality at Ruhleben, Major von Goertz at lvlagdeburg, 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 radios 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 inachinery. They had assembled their loot in a field, and it covered several acres. These men are now on the interna- tional criminal docket. Possibly other names may be added later., Even though the melodramatic rifer .of the live younger sons of Well= 'Hohenzollern to attilul trial at'Londoat -in his stead 'be. ,ignored or declined, 'two other Princes will ho brought to the bar of interailied Justice with the former Kaiser•, according to recent table despatches; They are the Crown Prince of Prussia and Ruppr'eeht • ot Bavaria, . who thus will have an op- portunity, in a common peril, to re centile 0110ir wartime jealousies and blelteringa, -^ Army officers, submarine coiaiaand•, •ers, a Cabinet member, those respons- ible for' the execution of Edith Cavell ,and Captain Fryatt, the instigators of murderons 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 eaimmanders, who sank hospi- 'tal ships, hdwever, andothers whose •offenoes are against humanity, such as the ox•Icaiser -and the two Princes,. may face their dcioni in London and be imprisoned meanwhile in the fant- •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 -sive chief allied and as- .sociated growers, 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 re- cord of the evidence on which Great Britain based her clhage. 'that Rup- precht was responsible not only Tot -that order, but for the execution of British prisoners. He is holt respons- ible also for deportations from Lille, :Roubaix, Turcoiug and other towns. Admiral Edward Charles Ernest von 'Capelle, the German Minister of \lYfar- ine succeeding von Tirpitz, is the •Cabinet member wlio faces arraign- ment for unrestricted submarine war - taro Ole 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- fulur1s, Commanders Max Valentiner and 'von F'orstner and Lieutenant Wil- helm Wernher, submarine command- ers, are to be arraigned. with von Capelle for sinking hospital ships, Bach of these men was decorated by the Kaiser for some exceptional atroci- ty of the high seas, Valentiner, son of the Dean of the Sondcrsburg Cathed- ral, was credited with the sinking of sire Lusitania, and was acclaimed in Germany therefor. Berlin newspapers .asserted that 11e had sunk 128 vessels. MAR1 NSYDE BIPLANE WRECKED WHEN STARTING ON TRANS®AT NTC FUG T Pilot and" Navigator Esclhped land -to -England Trip in H Must Be A A. despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says: -The 14lartinsyde •biplane "Chim- era" is never to fly the Atlantic. The tiny biplane crashed again in making its second attempt to start at Quidi Vidi airdrome on Thursday afternoon, and was wrecked beyond repair. Fred- erick P. Raynham, pilot, and Lieut. Conrad Herbert B•iddlecomb, naviga- tor, were not injureel. Raynhan declares that nothing re- rn' ns 'but to pack up." Thursday afternoon while rivulets of gasoline were trickling from the broken tw: steel remains of what only a few seconds before had been a throbbing, vibrant craft just soar- ing aloft, the pilot wanted to put a match to the wreckage and thus make a funeral pyre that would have been a physical •symbol of the death of the hopes he had 'heretofore not -abandon- ed. Raynlham ,started • what he • hoped would be a Newfoundland -to -England flight -fa world record for a heaver- than••air machine. It was the tiny puff of et crass wind that defeated his hope -and dashed the craft, a broken Unhurt-Raynham's Newfound- eavier-Than-Air Machine bandoned. thing ,with its nose plowing up the sod -a tiny pull', which, if 40 had come two seconds later, would have given aid instead of disaster to the wings of the "Chimera." When she left the ground the "Chimera" headed due west into a westerly wind. Within two hundred yards she got off the ground, and then in no more than a breathing space that vicious little puff of cross -wind caught the right wings and tipped them until they feathered the ground. Raynham tried to straog'hten her. mit, but had not -enough steerage way. The whole b'illane swung through an angle of 90 degrees, so that her nose was pointing south. Almost like a plummet the plan's dropped from her height of twenty feet until again the right wing scrap- ed -the ground and, acting as afol- crum, threw the full weight of the biplane onto the Left wring. That ended the forward momentum, and the en- tire weight cane upon the frail little undercarriage. The wheels and the chasis simply pancaked, the nose plowed into the turf and the wracking was done. 4 How to Live.

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.

Word has reached air experts of Canada that the British Government has begun tine Construction of the largest dirigible thitt 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 cost nine million, according , to information reaching military men ]fere, • 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 toes, 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. 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 Germans ratified the treaty, the Council of Five so far has done nothing toward malt- 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 expected it Will be a British fight to insist on the trial in London,.

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 the Province in an at- tempt to buoy up thespirits 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. HUNGARY'S SOVIET TOTTERING TO FALL A despatch from Vienna says: - There is a crisis in the Hungarian Soviet, General Boehm., Commander of the armies, hes been :imprisoned. Reports have been circulated that he required rest in a sanitarium. - Strunrfeld, second in command, is reported to have fled, Statements that Bela Kun, the Soviet leader, has been invited to a conference by tlia Allies have given rise to reports that he has accepted this subterfuge as a means of escap- ing'from Hungary without the inten- tion of returning. It is denied, how- ever, that he has left Hungary thus far, or even departed from the Capi- tal, 550,000 FOR FLIGHT INDIA TO SOUTH AFRICA A despatch from Landon says: -The Daily Express offers a prize of 910,- 000, open to the whole world with the exception of the late enemy countries, for an air flight establishing communi- cation on a commercial basis with In- dia and South Africa, All competing machines must carry a cargo of at ]east one ton on botlyout- ward and homeward flights.

To bo color -ignorant may not be so bad as to be color-blind, but it is an affliction. To remove it, read on, , Cochineal insects provide us with the finest colors of carmine, crimson, and scarlet; and blue -black, beloved of Futurists, comes from the charcoal- ized stalk of the vine. Indian ink is not Iudlan, 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 mule from the lapis -lazuli stone, and is al- most priceless. Air,' despite artists, has no color; Pare water 1s 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 ns, because its crystals reflect the rays of which white is^ rtoneposed. And a violet is blue. not because it is, but because the undulations of ether which touch its surface are thrown back with the ut- most rapidity, blue being the high tr'ebl'e vibration of light. 1a Am 7L 1'117- au= c Tyr- 0e -.e ,'•ii 3etna Vii+ nH;HELLO* Rota •1 veli y WARD ARE You b1'AT"OeIEo "- Irl? i .fes I'M IN WART, 51X.1; TO WARD 6 oft .A' • z, • Ij lfit�"l�af�'"'� 101 d),y� i+ 2: 1 eer From Erin's Green Isle e The death tools phase rooently of John Metcalfe; one of the oldest an most highly respected residents o Bei ast, Alien Guiney "was instantly killed When he fell a distance of thirty foot 111 the Harland and Wolf Yards at Bel- fast, The Belfast Corporation have air Pointed the Lord Mayor as their re- presentative on the Senate of Quoon's • University, Messrs, 3, and R, Thompson, Bel- fast, have launched atWarreuport, for the Admiralty, a one -thousand ton con- crete ship.
