court of justice for their responsibility
in this war; according to an entente
diplomatic dispatch received here.
which seems to indorse the proposal
by the British attorney general for an
international tribunal to try individ-
uals guilty of crimes against humanity
The dispatch reproduces charges
against General Keim. the first presi-
dent of the German military league
and former president of the German
naval league, who made himself motor
ious by conducting violent painter
man campaign. He is charged with
receiving regular subsidies from the
Krupp firm. Deputy Edward Bern
stein has brought before the reichstas
proof that General Keim has received
since 1901. fixed allowance from one
of the important war material firms
Bernstein, who is declared by the
dispatch to have authentic documents
to substantiate his charges, alleges
that one of these papers is private
report dated 1901, Nstating General
organized the press bureau under
Caprivi. he had many acquaintance
among the press and owing to his ante
cedents no one was qualified better to
modify the feelings of the people TO-
ward the Krupp firm and win SYM
pathy for it.
Bernstein proved that since 1901 the
Krupp books have collected an account
of which the principal treasurer nad

RENTED the amount regularly, not TO
General Keim himself, hut to one OIL
the firms managers.
The dispatch declares the offences OF
the Krupp firm against the German
people are worse than those of Cen
eral Kelm, and "the directors OF the
enterprise will be made to answer
some day to high court OF justice
for their systematic preparation, maze
with the assistance of military COM
mandens, for universal carnage whlch
has brought about the defeat OF Ger

Few ESCAPE.

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months. and they are fortunate
who have but one and get thru with it
quickly and without any serious conse-

Remedy and observe the directions
with each bottle, and you are likely to
be one of the fortunate ones. The
worth and merit of this remedy has
been fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it for
years when troubled with n cough or

AMERICA IN MINIATURE.
Italians May Visit United States by
Journey to Army Camps.

Chicago, Nov. S-For a quick jour-

forts of long sea voyage, Italians in
these days have only to visit the
American training camps in Italy.
There says the Rome correspondent
of the Italian American News Bureau,

Some Italian business interests
thought the presence OF the Americans
would furnish excellent opportunities
for good business. "The hope was
supported by the reputation Americans
have Of being well supplied with
money" says the correspondent.
"The devil! The value Of gold in
the teeth displayed by the men in q

handsome dowry for a girl of good

WILSON TO ATTEND.
PEACE CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-President
Wilson vii head this country'S dele
CATION to the peace conference. He
expects to sail for France within a
day OF two after December 2, the open
ing of the regular session Of Congress.
This was officially announced last
night at the White House. The state
ment is as follows:
1.-THE President expects to san for
France Immediately after opening of
the regular session of Congress for
the purpose Of taking part in the dis
cusSion and settlement OF the main
features Of the treaty Of peace. It Is
not likely that It will be possible foT
him to remain throughout the Ses-
sions of the formal peace conference
but his presence at the outset Is
necessary In ored to obvtate the mani
fest disadvantages OF discussion by
cable in determining the German out
line of the final treaty about which
he must necessarily be consulted. He
will, Of course, be accompanied by
delegates who will sit as the repre-
sentatives Of the United States
throughout the conferece. The names
Of the delegates viii be announced

Is the fact that the peace conference

December: the second is that 1t via

The President will appear before
Congress. presumably on the day its
regular session opens, to explain more
infinitely the reasons why, at this

day, will go far toward modifying the
feeling in certain quarters Of the Sem

for him to leave the country.
