MOTOR STOCKS UNDER
VERY HEAVY PRESSURE
BY I. A. FLEMING.

- Motor stocks on the New York stock
market are today selling at the lowest
prices of the year. and many points
away from high, and still farther OF
from the high of 1916.
: Business has been reported excellent;
some cancellations have been received
on orders. but not to any appreciate
extent, and sales continue large: yet
values drop with each recurring day.
Some people fear the high prices of
gasoline and the talk of taxation in the
interest of financing the war; but dras-
tic legislation is not likely to be en-
acted to the injury of any industry.
The high on General Motors in 1916
was liz: in 1917, 146ls. while the low
of this morning was 9sA.

day at 49,. Studebaker was high at
1s7 in 1916. at 110ie in 1917, and low at

Soldiers Guilty of Atrocities
Amenable to Ordinary Penal Law

BELGIAN PROVISIONAL CAPITAL
SAINTE ADREsSE, FRANCE, July 3.
(By maiD-"It is legal and logical
principle that ordinary penal laws
may be applied to acts of war that are
not justified by international law"
said Monsieur Carton De Wharf. Bel
gian minister of justice, replying to
an inquiry by The Associated Press
as to his opinion of the proposed in
terallied high court for the trial OF
officers, soldiers and individuals guilty
of atrocities in this war.
1.-The Hague convention in para

De Wharf, 'says that 'belligerents
have not an unlimited right to choose
means to harm the enemy All civ
iliZed countries admit that acts per-
petrated during state of war and
which are not technically acts OF war
may be punished by the ordinary civil
courts or the military courts, whether
they are crimes or mere offenses. In
fact the German manual Of laws Of
war mentions a considerable number
Of prohibitions as for instance, those
regarding the employment OF certain
weapons and the killing Of wounded
soldiers; whoever should violate those
prescriptions the manual says, shall
be responsible to his country. If he is
taken prisoner, military penalties
could be applied to him.

Paragraph II Of these instructions
says that crimes committed in time OF

ut has been the experience In the
armies Of Europe that men between
the ages Of Is and 35 years make the
best officers Mon OF these ages, with a
certain amount OF business expert
ence, are what we want for the second
Officers Training Camps, which open
August o."
This is the statement made by the
examining o1lcer of this district, who
Is now considering applications for
the new training camp. Julian Gates.
local secretary Of the Military Train
ing Camps Association, has been in
direct touch with the examining Off.
Ger and makes public the words of the
latter.
Do Not Understand
From the way in which applica-
tons are coming In. It is evident that
many younger fellows have miscon-
strued the governments circular
which stated that men over 81 would
be given preference in the new train
ing camp. While it is very true that
older men are wanted, this should dis
courage no one of Is years of age,
and even younger, from putting in his
request for admission. A mans
chances for being accepted are great
er If he Is over Is or 2s-but there
will be large number OF the 25-year
class wearing the khaki as officers.
1T seems that many who have ask
ed for applications for the new camp
are still holding them. In the case
Of the younger men, this is big mis-
take. The sooner their names are on
file, the more chance they have OF
getting in on the ground floor and
having the opportunity to be an Off,
Ger in the new national army.
Consider Merits
I'VE want to have plenty OF time
to thoroughly consider the merits OF
the younger men.
Men, more men, and still more
men, are wanted for this second Off
GERS Training Camp, opening August
81. There ore only two weeks more
to apply. No one will be considered
after July IL. This is at once the
duty and the opportunity for men be
tween the ages OF Is and A. to give
the government the benefit of their
services, as leaders of the second
National Army Of Five Hundred Thou
