France, Dec. 8. -The pro posal to try certain Germans for vrfines -committed during the war ha finally been' put Into practice form. Twenty Germans arei actually-Imprisoned. In the citadel of 'UJier awaiting Judgment, by a French court martial. Perhaps they form' the Vanguard of a larger number to cbme. All save one are accused -of crimes such as theft, pillage and de struction. Thy. were arrested in the ocoupled parts of Germany and their identification is almost certain through finding in their houses arti cles stolen during the war. these articles having been reported s lost by French citizens, ii the case of minor brutalities the prisoners will be confronted by the victims and thus Identified. HE ATTACKS WOMKK r t am assured by Captain Hillairet, president of the second council, that the Germans . will have all the right ac corded to Frenchmen In similar circum stances. and will be defended by French lawyers and will have the right to call witnesses, either" French or German. The ' one . prisoner accused of graver Crimea is Robert Stange, known famil iarly as the "Terror of Halluin." When on the point of leaving the country, In October,- 1919, this soldier tried to at tack the proprietress of the house tn which 1 he was lodged, but luckily the (woman proved strong enough to save .herself from him. I s Among- the prisoners the highest of , fleer at present is Captain von Klausa, (who is accused of carrying off Indus trial property worth millions of francs front the district of Lanne. - Then 'comes Captain Everbusch, a manufacturer who forged requisition papers; Lieutenant Folksdorfi, who delighted In petty vex ation against helpless civilians, and (Ueutenant Bender, a connoisseur In sil verware and fine wines. ., Proceedings have been prepared against certain- other Germans whom French military Justices hope to cap ture within a few days, the most promi nent of whom Is Richard Langs, a boU ller accused of murdering a young girl at Conde, France.

GIRL IS SHOT DEAD The child stuck her tiead through the wire to beg for a piece of it Lange, who was a Gerrhan sentinel, ordered the hand withdrawn, and when it was not done immediately discharged his rifle at her. Whether the little girl under stood the command or not makes little difference. The essential point is that a German bullet added another victim to the long list of German atrocities. Lange was acquitted by the Germans on the ground that he had stopped a fugitive from crossing the Belgian border. Among- those against whom public opinion makes particular complaint are the so-called "Butchers of Lille." At the head stand Rupprecht, the crown prince of Bavaria, and General von Qraevenitz. military governor of the city. It is charged that they Issued orders that were unnecessarily cruel, and failed to punish officers they knew had done wrong. Besides they were responslbto for all the acts done under their command. - Next come General von Helnrich, another governor general; General von Zoellner, author of the no torious deportation order of 1918 ; Cap tain von -Himmel, head of the German secret service in Lille, and Captain von Hoecker, editor of the Liller Kriegs- xeltung. Whether they will -be tried tr not I am convinced that their names wlU re main execrated in this city for genera tions to come. Not only Germans but a score of wretched French women are also imprisoned in the citadel. Worse even than their masters they denounced their patriotic fellow citizens to the German kommandantur. Their most eminent victim, perhaps, was M. WllloV editor of L'Oiseau de France, a man as intelligent as he was brave. Seeing the work accomplished by consistent German propaganda, M. Willot decided to publish surreptlously a, little allied newspaper. This he did is his own room at 139 Boulevard Car not by the aid of printing presses he concealed In the basement A wireless plant which he caused to be erected pro vided him with news. His . newspaper, which ran for many months, published the allied communiques and articles writ-1 ten by eminent Frenchmen against the German cause. It is little short of a marvel how M. willot succeeded in con cealing his work so long. Finally In February. 1918. he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years at forced labor. In December of 'the same year he died in his home in Lille from the results of his imprisonment French Women Claim Carpentier Shirking Eugenic Marriage Paris Dec 8. GeogeaCarpentler, European heavyweight champion, la shirking a match. . That is the claim of a group of "eugeniBt' French women who protest the champion Is not fulfilling his pa triotic duty marriage. Eugenlcally Speaking, it is .claimed Carpentier is a supreme specimen of French manhood, and, the women as sert "it is not right for him to remain childless.' The protesting women suggest a law forcing the conqueror of Joe Beckett to assume ttie burdens of a family and thus set an example for other athletes who measure up to the eugenic stan dards. ' " It . may be remarked, however, that Carpentier. already has turned down the goodly ' number of 1567 offers of mar riage from as many members of the fair ."Bert , , v fisa Cross Faces Problem to Check Typhus Epidemics . . - . Tokio, Nov. 12. (By Mall to United Press) "Fearful sanitary conditions and the tincre&sing spread of typhus, typhoid and recurrent fevers are the-most im portant problems facing the American Red Cross," said Colonel R. B. Teuster, A. R. C commissioner, for Siberia, on bis arrival here. ' The outlook for the spread of typhus, he said, is much more serious this yeir, because of the collapse of the Kolchak offensive, and the consequent Increase In the number of refugees fleeing from the Bolshevik advance. - There were 8000 cases of typhus In Irkutsk and 8000 at a point a few versts beyond, he said. Friesian Cow May Bring New Kecord London, Dec 8. (I. N. S.) Enthusi asts of the Friesian cow are now talking of the possibility of developing a 3000 gallon cow, now that the 2000-gallon an nual production mark has been sur passed by a number of bo vines of this breed. When Eske Hetty, first of all 2000-galloners, gave 2413 gallons last year, critics considered the performance a freak. Now Eske Hetty has. a rival Friesian, Southill Countess, owned by Messrs. Wallace of Knobworth, whose yield has- reached 2101 gallons in 121 days, while six more of the breed, with different owners, are on the way to top the 2000-gallon mark before this year ends. - 8 Killed, 52 Hurt In Eiots at Borne Rome.

There ha been some oppo-,J j sltlon to. the four power agreement in Japan. - ' The silver situation In China la serYi . loua The foreign banks are attempting 'v tb persuade the government to place an r embargo on the exportation of silver,1 J as they fear that there will be Insuf , flcient left to meet the Chinese new year demands. I am also informed that the foreign banks are unable to hand ovr f , the salt customs, surplus owing to - In- -sufficient silver. Two years ago China, attempted to place an embargo on tlm . export of silver, but the bankers througlT v ' ' the legations protested and thus prevents ed anything from being done,' while at , , the same time they made huge profits.. Now they are in difficulties and waot an embargo. A run on any bank at pres ent would probably cause a suspension ' of payments. Foreigners loaning lif China would be unable to fulfill the con ditions unless they lnrported silver. The 7 high sliver rate la killing the export -trade.
