A lone burglar at 5:45 o'clock this
morning broke a show window of

Broadway, and escaped with tray
containing 81 set and combination
diamond rings and six wrist watches,
valued at about $1,000. The loss is
fully covered by burglary insurance.
Loot May Be Larger.
Thatsthe loot may be larger than
the amount now estimated, was the
statement this, afternoon of r. B.

The burglar is still at large, but is

standing at the intersection of

breaking glass, but saw the fleeing
burglar and gave chase only to lose
him among the passengers coming

dob Work of Expert.
The robbery is apparently the work
OF an expert, and was carried out
in a clean, methodical manner. The
thief first pasted the sleeve Of an
show window, then awaiting until
the noise of the incoming, train
would drown the sound of the break
ing glass, he threw a brick through
the glass. 1t was only the work OF a
few seconds to jam the wrist |
watches into his pockets and hide the
tray of rings under his coat. Few
pedestrians were on the street at the |
time: none in the vicinity.
In the confusion following the rob-
berry, a very meagre description Of
the thief was obtained.

Marquis of Crewe Discusses
Plans for Bringing the

(py AssocIated Press.l

London. Dec. 17.-Responsibility
for furnishing the former German
emperor and other high German off,
cials for crimes committed during
the war must rest with the govern
ment and not with the jurists ac-
cording to the Marquis of Crewer
former secretary of state for the
colonies in a letter published in the
Westminster Gazette.
He writes:
1.-The atrocities in Belgium. the i'll
treatment OF prisoners and the exc
cution of Captain Fryatt and Miss
Edith Cayell are acts that can be
brought home to the individual per-
sons concerned and punishment can
be indicted by tribunals. When,
however, we go beyond these per
sons, responsibility is altered. The
former German emperor and the
higher German politicians must be
surrendered first and then punished
by executive acts. For this proce-
dure there are most ample prece-
dents, These criminals can be put
away where they will have no fur
ther chance OF bringing mischief on
the world, or they can be executed.
In other words. 1t is important that
legal technicalities must not be al
lowed to divert the hands OF justice
as they well may do, In a field in
which there is no basis OF previous
law to govern procedure. The re-
sponsibility must not rest with Ju-
rIsts but with governments"

Arouses A Storm Of
Protest
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, Monday. Dec. 16.-The CEN
trail congress Of delegates from Sol
diers' and Workmens' councils from
many parts of Germany opened to-
day In the building formerly used by
the Prussian diet. There were three
women among the 450 delegates.
During the organization OF the
congress it became evident that the
Independent Socialists and the
Spartacus group were greatly out
numbered. A significant develop
ment was that none of the important
posts in the congress was given TO
delegates from Berlin.
The Spartacus group made fu-
tile attempt to inttmidate the con-
gress. Early in the session q reso-
luton was submitted that DIR. Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg,
leaders OF the Spartacus group be
invited to attend the congress as
guests with advisory powers. Less
than 15 per cent Of the delegates
voted for the resolution.
Presentation Of the resolution
caused a great tumult throughout
the hall. The followers Of DIR. Lieb-
knecht and spectators in the gallery
Joined in the uproar which lasted 20
minutes and threatened to result in
various fist fights.
A contest Is expected Tuesday
when the question Of summoning a
national assembly comes up for dis
cussion.
Later while Herr Mueller. chair
man OF the workmen's section OF the
executive committee. was speaking,
the chairman of the congress inter-
rupted to say: There Is a comrade
present who wishes TO submit a
communication"
The new commissioner announced
that he represented 250.000 work
men who were then assembled out
side the diet building. He read a
list of demands identical with the
Spartacus program. including reten-
tion of all power by the soldiers and
workmens' councils, no national as
sembly and the formation OF a Red
Guard. This aroused a. storm OF
protest and in the general pproar

Amsterdam, March 8-A notion that Mormon missionaries from America. have1been corrupting the Ger man soldier and seeking to tempt him to desertion is propagated by the Lutherat- Church Consistory for the province, of Pomerania, which, accord ing to the .Kreuz Zeitung has sent the following circular letter to the local district clergy;
 We are given to understand by the authorities that various anti-war sects have arisen in@eastern Prussia which make it their business to induce sol diers toadesert and which furnish such deserters with opportunities to hide from the law.
