though lodramatic offer |. eo Sy of William n to stand trial at London $e ignored or declined, will be brought to ser, according to és. They are the Crown Prussia and Rupprecht of Bavaria, who thus will have an op- portunity, in a common peril, . to re- j6 their wartime Jealousies and a rings. Army officers, sibmarine command: Cabinet member, those respons- for the execution of Edith Cavell Captain Fryatt, the instigators of i ) prison camp brutalities, jooters and incendiaries in regions | overrun--these are included in the in- ternational rogues' gallery. . Some of 'them will be tried in the countries wheré their offences were committed. Those who ordered deportations from French towns probably will bg ar raigned at Paris; those who set the torch to Belgian cities, in Brussels. U-boat commanders, who sank hospl- "tal 'ships, however, and. others whose offences are "against humanity, such 'as the ex-Kaiser "and the two, Princes, "miay face thet dodm in London. and be imprisoned meanwhile in the fam- ous old Tower. Before thé Peace Treaty was signed. motice was given to Germany that she wouldl be required to surrender some offendars for trial before a tribunal re- presenting five chief allied and as- socidted 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. 8ir Arthur Conah Doyle compiled and edited a.re- cord of the, evidence on which Great Britain based her charge that Rup- precht was responsible not only for that order, bat for the execution of British prisoners. He is held respons- ible also for deportations from Lille, Roubaix, Turcoing and other towns. Admiral Edward Charles Ernest von 'Capelle, the German Minister of Mar- ine succeeding von Tirpitz," is the . Cabinet' member whe faces arraign- ment for unrestricted submarine war- fare He {s*held responsible not only for thie 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- *fulnecs, 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 thé Dean of. the Sondorsburg Cathed- ral, was credited with the sinking of the Lusitanfa, and was acclaimed in Germany therefor. Berlin newspapers asserted that he had sunk 128 vessels. 'lc offer | Feld Marshal Aughét von" sen ig charged with h Shotts A. is: in his spectacular 'in 1916. He seized vast stocks of grain, a million head of cattle, id million sheep ani goats, a third of a million pigs, and 69,000,000 marks in gold. His men set the 4orch to Rumanian villages, and are said td have shot down Rumanian prisoners solely for terrorization. , Field Marshal, von Mackensen is 70 years old.. He and Hindenburg are the only holders-of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross. His age may pro- tect him from extremely severe pun-] ishment. General Otto von Below, charged with the burning of Ardenne and the shooting of 100 persons, Otto von Be- low seryed in shia, 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 Liman von Sanders, who fled ignominiously when his army in Mesopotamia was surrounded by the British, 1s. charged with 'massacres of Armenians and Syrians. "Baron Oscar von der Lancken was head of the German political depart- ment in Brussels, and is held partly acconntable for the murders of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt. Ambassa- dor Brand Whitlock and Hugh 8S. Gis- 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 exeeution. 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|4 with the pillage of Deynze and the massacre of 168 civilians; Major von Buelow with the destruction of Aers- chot and the execution 01150 civilians, Generals Olsen and von. Cassel 'are the highest officers under charges growing out of prison camp cruelties. They were in charge at'Doberits. 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 starvatioh 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 Frendh in the Sarre Valley, and were found to have stolen vast quantities of machinery. They had assembled their loot if a field, and it covered several acres. ¥ These men are now on the interna- tional eriminal docket. Possibly other names may be added later. -- -- 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- dn 30 days from the time the Germans 'ratified the treaty, the Council of Five 80 "far tas done' nothing: toward mak- ing up suth a list.) If {8 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; : Hakewarm upon the matter. So it is expected: it will be a British fight to ania on the trial in London.

This dirigible and: the two hangars to be built for it will cost nine million, according. to information military men here.

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.
