URGES PUNISHMENT
or WAR CRIMINALS
Serbian Premier Would In
clude 100 German Professors.

LoNpoN, Oct. 21.-M. Pashitch, pre-
mier Minister of Serbia, told THE SuN
correspondent to-day that II was for the
Allies as n whole to decide who il to be
punished for the crimes of the war and
to decide what the punishment is to be.
''If the Kaiser abdicated," said the
Serbian statesman. ''he would be sure to
come back In year or two. No sort of
written agreement would prevent him
from returning. Only force will accom-
plish that result. once at peace Prussia
gladly would welcome him back on the
plea that she had the right to determine
her own rulers.
I'VE must make II impossible for Prus-
STA ever again to have II in her power
to impose her will on other peoples At
the same time II must not be overlooked
that $40 OF the principal professors Of
Germany openly declared for the support
of the war and advocated Germany's
cause They upheld the inhumane
methods of warfare practised by the
Germans, and they must therefore be In
cluded in the Indictment that the Allies
will draw up"

James w Gerard, formerly AmbaBsa-

sion? The President has said that there

Of such transparent hypocrisy as now
comes from the Imperial German Gov
eminent?

The tone of tie reply, 1t Ia pointed
out, indicates that Germany Is delib-

dent Wilson's terms as he clearly de-
fined them and substituting intcrphe-
tations to create the impression that

that no arrangement: can be accepted
which does not provide for the main
tenance OF the present military su-

Berlin assumes this question should
be left to the military advisers, thus
implying that German military chiefs
should have a hand in making the ar
rangements for an armistice.
The German note, in slightly diner

for q mixed commission" Under the

NORTHCLIFFE SCOTS

LONDON, Oct 21.-Viscount North

tonight. said:
"A hasty perusal of the German note
reveals that with truly Prussian selfish

honor and as a means of rallylng the

or 1t may simply be trying to put the

thrown itself upon his mercy.
"1he least satisfactory feature Of the
reply Is the shameless prevarication with
regard to German outrages on land and
sea. and the suggestion that this be dealt
with by neutral commission is mere
subterfuge.

Government is telling the truth in these
statements. Only the future can estab-
lish that. II is conceivable that the war
lords and imperialists might even find
way to throw all these paper reforms

escaping the consequence OF the war had
been achieved.
Passenger ships Immune.
The German statement that henceforth
submarines will not sink passenger ships
comes at a time when II In impossible to
know whether the German Admiralty
does not believe oil effective damage to
passenger ships has nlteady been accom-
plished and that consequently Germany
may now safely refrain from further
murder on the high seas.
The measures taken by the Entente
and the United States at the cost OF BILL
ions have in a sense rendered passenger
ships immune, and neutral Governments,
particularly Spain, are showing signs or
breaking with Germany because or the
submarine attacks. Therefore from
from every point OF view II appears
wise course now for Germany to
call of attacks on passenger vessels, and
officials explain that the German Gov
eminent IL therefore In a position TO
offer to trade this form Of warfare on
for what It regards as prospective assist
ance to peace negotiations.
There is nhdeniably an element here
which is inclined to take the German
statements contained In to-day's note at
their face value and to regard the note
as evidence that Germany comedies she
has been whipped and sincerely desires
TO meet every condition laid down by the
President. But even those holding firmly
to this View concede that the allied COM
marders must be the ones to lay down
the conditions for evacuation and the
guarantees that the President has said
must be required.
Complete evacuation OF all invaded
territory, the President has said. must pre-
cede an )armistice. According to one high
official peace with AN armed Germany
would be unthinkable. hence the armis-
tice must be that accepted BY Bulgaria,
which called for complete rehabilitation
and the. surrenderlng OF her arms and
implements of warfare to the Allies. The
test will come when Germany receives
these termsfrom the allied commanders.
