TO PRESCRIBE RHINE CITIES

Washington Oct. 3.-An ultiuatum
to Germany regarding the ruthless de-
struction of cities and private prop
erty IN northern France and Belgium
is being urged on the allies and the
United States and Is under consider
alton.
The burning of Cambria and ST.
Quentin and the devastation of one of
the most populouS regions of Europe
as the Germans retreat has aroused
great indignation and it was said in
diplomatic circles today that Germany
would be warned soon that II she al
lowed the work of destruction to con-
tinue, severe reprisals will follok.
Mark Towns to Destroy.
1t is suggested that the cities of the
Rhine should be marked for destruc-
ton and the Berlin government told
that for every French and Belgian
city ruined without military reason, a
city equally important and valuable
sentimentally and materially will be
laid waste.
Since reprisals by lbombardment
have caused the Germans to discon-
tinue to a great extent their air at
tackS on defenseless communities, it
is felt that similar warning might be
effective in bringing home to the Ger
man people the danger of retaliation
for ruthless destruction of territory
now occupied by their troops
An official dispatch from France
today quotes the ePtit Parisien as
follows:
Germany's Latest Crime.
Cambria is burning. This is the
new crime accomplished by those
great destroyers of life. Cambria, the
historical city with all her memories
of the past; Cambria, the modern
town with it's industries, is falling to
pieces among a red and black whirI-
wind of sparks and flames. Cam
brai is at the present moment but an
enormous fire. The Germans have
left, but threw as they went their in
cendiary torches on the valuable re-
membranes Of ancient France
Our allies who have taken such
precautions to have the town con-
template, horror stricken, the Ger
mans impious work. -

unity COMMAND
Allies Now Have Economic Re.
sources in Supply Pool.
Supplies for Armies Will Be APP
portioned by Groups.

Washington, Oct. 3.-America and
her allies have extended the unity of
military command in the formation
of an inter-allied new supply pool,
Proposals long considered for unity
ing all economic resources have been
accepted. So today. all the raw ma
terials and finished products of the
United States and her associates, need
ed in the war, are united and at the
disposal of the whole cause. Hereafter,
there will be an apportionment of sup
plies t:.ru a central body which will
get its data from the inter-allied eco
nomic groups.
This is-expected to result in elimi-
nation of many delays. The effect will
be to make prosecution of the war
more efficient and rapid, it is held.
