This has developed the suggestion that these countries combine their eourtsmartial and act under a single military procedure codi fied from all the separate military codes. A Joint courtmartia would thus be constituted capable of dealing with offenders of the first, or military and naval clas. Concerning the political offenders, it is said that a tribunal Is not necessary and would be Ineffective owing to the leiral Immunity of political offenders. Therefore, It is maintained that the action against Napoleon I furnishes a precedent for the determination of the allied course as a general measure of policy. In the case of Napoleon there was no trial but he was confined on the island of St. Helena as a general measure of policy for the tranquility of Europe. Some such general policy la designed to reach ex-Kmperor William and other political offenders, with Belgium or' another country against which the political offenses charged were chiefly directed acting for the purpose of se curing the extradition of the individual as a preliminary to putting the general policy into effect.

(By the Aociated Press.) The plan of the council of four to have Belgium prosecute the former German emperor on the charge of re sponaibllity for the war Is meeting with objections which are again bringing up the whole subject for revision. Ofrraaers Are t'lasairied. Those who have the matter in hand divide the question of war responsibill ties into two distinct classes. The first class Includes military and naval of fenders, like General Ludrndorff and Admiral von Tirplts, and those accused of various excesses against the usual rules of warfare. The second class in eludes former Emperor nilllam, ex Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and others whose offense is chiefly of a po litical nature. Concerning the first-class, that of military offenders.

Brewers bf the New York district took action to day Intended to speed court determina tion of their claim that beer of 2 per cent alcoholic content may be pro duced without violating the food con servation regulations, when two of their number began distribution .of brew of the strength specified In bar rels bearing labels 'describing: il as non-intoxicating beverage. The kegs, sent out without revenue stamps, winch the collector had re fused, carried tags announcing that sums equivalent to the cost of th stamps had been deposited in banks to await tne claim of Jhe government. Attorneys for the brewers, who ad vised their action, declared that other manufacturers, in New York and else where throughout the country also wouia begin distributing. The beer shipped here from the Hoff mann and Gambrinus breweries had been manufactured since December when by presidential proclamation use or grains ror brewing was prohibited, to De moamed early this year by per mission to maKe non-intoxicating, or "near-beer." which the revenue de partment classified as containing lees tnan one-naif of one per cent alco- none content. It was expected that the brewers' action would precipitate a move by federal authorities to stop the sale of unstamped beer, thus bringing into the criminal courts the manufacturers' contention, already raised in civil suits. tnat tne z, per cent brew, being with out the scope of the food conservation and prohibition statute forbidding pro duction of intoxicants, could be manu factured and sold, now and In the fu ture, under either the war time or per manent prohibition statute in compli ance with the law. The Hoffman breweries notified the internal revenue collector early this evening of their intention to resume distribution of the i per cent product. This was .the standard during the greater part of America's participation In the war, under the food regulations. When application for revenue stamps was denied, tne brewery people an nounced their Intention of tendering payment to the authorities. When this was refused it was decided by the Hoffman and also the Gambrinus con cerns to deliver goods without stamps nd special labels prepared on order of Elihu Root and William D. Guthrie, counsel for the brewers of the country, were attached to the barrels. The labels contained the following legend: Non-lntoxIcatlng beer, containing not to exceed 2 per cent of alcohol by weight. "The internal revenue tax imposed by Section 608 of the act of congress of February 2, 1919. of J for every barrel containing not more than .11 gallons, has been duly tendered to the collector of internal revenue for the district of and upon his re fusal to receive the tax and issue the customary stamps, the full amount of he tax was deposited to his credit with bank, thus keeping the ten der good. If any attempt be made to seize the beer telephone or telegraph at once to undersigned," and the name of the brewer follows. The Hoffman concern is complainant n the test case brought to restrain the federal district attorney and the nternal revenue collector from inter fering with the production of 2 per cent beer. Argument on a motion by the gov ernment to dliimiss the action has been set for next week. ACTION NOT XKT DETERMINED Course of Internal Revenue Office Awaited "With Interest. WASHINGTON. April 38. In the ab sence of Internal Revenue Commission er Roper, officials of the revenue bu reau tonight would not predict what action might be taken in the case of the New York brewers who today start ed the distribution of beer containing 314 per cent alcohol, claiming it to be non-Intoxicating under existing laws and regulations. The only action of the bureau so far has been to refuse to authorize 'the sale of revenue stamps to brewers de siring to make beer with this alcoholic content, since regulations place at one half of l per cent the maximum alco holic content for non-intoxicating bev erages of any kind. peace" advocates, as against the other factions favoring a "clean peace.' Therefore be is under the necessity of portraying each separate clause as being extreme in severity, although for (he most part they cannot Justly be so described. The military terms do fall Into that category. They are more drastic tha even the conference's military adviser wished to demand, and Jy military men it is expectea tnat Germany win request their reconsideration. I know personally two members of the war council who feel this way and even Marshal Foch is quoted as saying that the minimum-force that Germany can get along with is 200,000 men, instead of the 100,000 now set. Greater Sfeaaee Is Seen. Further, army experts believe that with the spread of anti-militarism in Germany she will be unable to main tain her soldiery without conscription, which has been proscribed. But the menace to the world 'does not lie in the terms to Germany. It lies in. the inability to satisfy the as pirations of those on the other side of . the council table. Japan, China, Belgium, Italy, Jugo-SIavia, (.Poland, Czech-Slavokia, Roumania, Greece these are but a few of the long list who are clamoring for attention and who have evoked national passions to support their ambitions that will not be easily stilled. And then there are those other dis turblng factors not possessing the dig' nlty of peace representation, but strong in their potentiality for disorder, such as Ireland, India, Egypt. Lithuania, Corea and other disaffected regions. Nor does (his summary take into ac count the unsettled conditions in the enemy states like Austria. Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, to say nothing of Germany. Definite Policy Lacking. These states will not always be enemies. That status passes, once the treaty is signed, and their fate will be one of bolshevism. That is the touch stone of peace, proclaimed by Presi dent Wilson himself, and yet on that subject nothing, and worse than nolo ing, has been done. It is openly admitted that the Paris statesmanship has so far proved itself unequal to the task and t tat an indict ment cannot be evaded by asking wnat anyone elso would do. The conferees came here to meet the issue, and if they do not they have failed on their most vital task. Macarber's rule of waiting for something to turn up has been followed and because of their inability to evolve a definite policy straws have been clutched and dufi culties magnified. Radical Problem Evaded. The men who came to Paris were-se- lected because it was believed by their publics they could solve the problems that needed solution, but instead of taking hold of the job they are putting themselves in defensive by admitting that the task is beyond them and asK ing what other would do. Premier Llovd George in his Wednes day speech, referred to the staggering fie-ures supplied by the military .ex perts in answer to the question of mil itary operations against tne Doisneviai. But he did not add that at least one of the military advisers told the coun cil of four that bolshevism, through failure to be handled properly at the outset, had lost Its original form and had become politicalized and national ized within Russia where it had gained unexpected strength, and that us seeas had germinated into what one blunt old soldier, whose judgment is wen worth having on any supject, catieu 'European revolution. Peace Declared Far Off. The revolutionary spirit of tho sort that he sees cannot be fought with arms, in his opinion, and It was largely his advice that eliminated any possi bility of the big four taking Marshal Foch's plan of military activity against the new and growing force. -One of these days it will be known how President Wilson was prevented from carrying out a plan which he con raivi two vears ago. and which, in the light of subsequent events, would have gone a long way towaro reuuer ing the virulency of the movement that threatens civilization. His method to dam the stream was ignored and now it is an angry flood. Paris may see tne treaty eisneo within comparatively a few days, but it will be many long years before the world sees the peace that it is in tended to bring. " . Du Pont President Is Changed.
