LEADERS MUST Be PUNISHED
KAISER AND OTHERS WILL BE
PLACED ON TRIAL.
Great Britain to Insist Men Respons
ibIe for Atrocities Shall
Pay Penalty.

London, Dec. 6.-Sir Auckland
Geddes, president of the local govern.
ment board and minister of national
service, in public address, said that
the line of policy advocated by the
coalition government was q peace,
which, so far as the enemy powers
were concerned, should be based on
stern justice and so far as those men
who planned and started the war were
concerned should be founded ON JUS
tice of the nature meted out in the
highest courts of the land.
Such men as the former German
emperor, Enver Pasha and the former
rulers Of Bulgaria and Austria, would
be placed on trial, and If found guilty,
their lives would be forfeited.
Men guilty of unspeakable atroci-
ties upon our prisoners and upon the
civilian inhabitanta of the invaded
lands" he continued, must stand
trial. and if they are condemned, must
suffer DEATH"
It had to be proved how far the
commanders of submarines acted un-
der orders, which they had to carry
out under pain of death, or how far
they acted on their own volition, he
pointed out, but if the atrocities at sea
were committed on the volition of
Individual commanders, he declared,
they too, must suffer the extreme
penalty.

slast In New Jersey Plant Shakes the
Countryside for Miles

i Pompton Lakes, N. j., Dec. g.
Twelve men killed and twenty-three
injured here by four explosions which
destroyed the detonator assembling
building of the DUPONT cap works and
shook the countryside for miles
around. Fire which followed the ex
plosions was confined to the one unit
Property loss Is said to be slight.
With the first blast hundreds of men
women and children who had relatives
working at the plant hastened to the
scene, but because of possible danger
guards barred them. p
Officials Of the company said they
believed an employe at work assem-
bling French fuse detonators, which
are filed with illuminate of mercury
had dropped one of them. Exploding
this had set off the stock in the build
ing, which officials claim contained
only rs or 80 pounds of illuminate.

ACCEPT SITUATION QUIETLY.
GERMANS ARE SURPRISED At
LACK OF HARSHNESS.
People Wonder at Policy Of Noninter.
ference by American Army
Of Occupation.

With the Americans In Prussia, Dec.
6.-Several hundred thousand Germans
are now under American authority.
They are accepting the situation with
remarkable quietness and complacency
and are not finding this authority on
erous. Astonishment Is often ex-
pressed at the Americans lack of
harshness and their policy Of nonin-
reference.
Normal life is going on in occupied
territory and peasants are plowing the
fields as the troops march past. Fac
tories are humming with activity.
The Americans are gradually taking
over supervision Of the telegraph, tele-
phone and postal systems. American
trains carrying supplies are arriving
at Treves. This traffic does not inter-
fere with regular passenger trains.
Under the terms of the armistice
Germany will pay the expenses of the
Third army. The Americans, there
fore, are giving receipts for all requi-
sitions and billets, which will be COL
lected from the German government.
The burgomasters of the villages are
cooperating in assigning billets. De-
crees have been issued ordering the
surrender of all arms and ammunition.
The people in some towns have al
ready turned over their guns and re-
ceipts have been given them.
Corps and division headquarters are
generally established in schoolhouses
or other public buildings. The only
untoward incident recently reported
occurred when some school children in
the little village of Scheich threw de-
cayed vegetables at American officers.
The latter ignored the affair. Tho
most advanced elements of the Third
army have occupied the towns Of Witt
Itch, Berncastel and Zetlinger.

TWO SCHEMES ARE
BEING DEVELOPED
McADoo coNFERs WITH ADvis-
ERs ON PLANS FOR SUPER.
vlSING ROADS.
MERGE INTO REAL GROUPS
One Idea Is to Have Lines Operate
Individually and Privately, Conn
peting for Service, but Under
Government Supervision.

Washington, Dec. GA new direc.
tor-general of railroads to succeed
William G. McAdoo may not be named
for two weeks or more, it was said.
The resignation of Robert s. Lovett
as director Of the railroad administra-
tion's division of capital expenditures,
and his insistence on going back to his
former duties as chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Union Pa
cific, was considered as having left Mr..
McAdoo without a candidate I'M
mediately at hand to recommend to
President Wilson.
O.. McAdoo Looking for Man.
1t was stated authoritatively that
the director-general is now looking
about for men whom he may propose
and it is considered probable that some
one outside the railroad administration
staff will be chosen.
Mr.. McAdoo conferred with his ad
visory staff Of the railroad administra-
ton concerning proposed plans for
supervising railroads when they are
turned back to private management.
Two differing plans are understood
to have developed.
One proposal Is to have the railroads
merge into real groups, with common
operating management to start, and
eventually to develop into common
ownership with the roads themselves
selecting their region managements in
which the government would be repre-
sented.
Under Federal Supervision.
The other plan put forth is for. the
roads to operate individually and priv
ately, competing for service, but under
the supervision of a government
agency to be known perhaps as the
Department of Transportation, headed
by q cabinet member. To this agency
would be left largely the question Of
making proper rates, administering
the common use of terminals and pool
ing of cars and, to certain extent, the
routing of freight traffic. Both plans
would propose government supervision
of railroad security issues.
These are only the barest outlines
of the two ideas now developing in
the minds of government officials, and
both are subject to modification.
