(Canadian Press Despateh) London, -Nov. 4.---The establish- ment of a grand court of Allied re- presentatives, civil and military, for the purpose of trying those guilty of crimes duving the war, is advocated by Sir Frederick Bdward Smith, British Attorney-General. Sir Frederick, who is an authority on international law, urges that the a ity, aithough not exclusively, to those caught redhanded or obsery- ed committing crimes, He contends that gnilty parties must not be al- lowed to shift the blame upon their superiors, .as otherwise every war criminal among the Germans might shuffle the entire responsibility upon the Emperor, Moreover, the attor- ney-general argues, guilty persons must not be permitted to put them- selves outside the jurisdiction of the court, and the surrender of those not in Allied custody should be de- manded under the peace terms, The court would be empowered to inflict such punishment as death and penal servitude, and also to exact compen- sation for injury to persons or de- struction of preperty. GERMAN SOCIALISTS Are Not Satisfied With the w's Concessions. (Canadian ress Despateh.) 2 London, Nov. 4.--- The German Socialists are mot satisfied with the Emperor's proclamation of = cons ¢essions.

Marshal Foch Does Not ¥atemd Al lowing the Germans to Rest, Des. pite the Coming of Winter. _ With the British Army at the Front,, Nov. 4.---The tired German armies are prepared to retreat. Since the beginning of the allied offen- sive on September 26th the Ger mans have used .148 divisions, of which 60 have been&engaged twice and five three times. The German reserves are- insufficient to meet the disposition of the allied troops. In preparation for the retreat the Germans are removing all the heavy tartillery back of the lines, depending upon high-velodity and long-range projectiles to support the infantry in the rearguard actions. The enemy is destroying all the bridges not needed for the removal of heavy material and also is build- ing many bridges to facilitate the retreat. Canal lpcks are being blown up, and likewise railroad bridges. Crossings, switches, power plants; and munition dumps, wherever pos- sible, are being removed and areo- dromes are being dismantled. °' The Germans expect to rotire te Ghent and then to Antwerp.

It is announced that the terms of armistice have been praétically completed by the Council of the Al- lies at Versailles. They are said to be pretty stiff, including a demand that the jbo a line thirty 'miles éast of the Rhine, leaving behind its 'munitions and rolling stock; and the German fleet, including submarines, shail be tyried over to the Allies as a pledge of the sincere desire of the German of the border cities to make : {land under keeping of Foch's armies German army shall retire | .

Evidently the German object is to 'shorten the line and conserve the divisions, which are decimated and exhausted by long and hard fight- ing. It is certain that Marshal Foch does not intend to allow the Ger- mans to rest, despite the coming of, winter, with its rain and mud. War Tidings.
