NATIONS RESPONSIBLE
British Colonial Secretary Talks OF

London Dec. IT british wireless
seryfce) .-Responsib for punish
ing the former German emperor and
other high German officials for crimes
committed during the war must rest
with governments and not with Jur-
lists, according to the Marquis of Crew,
former secretary of state for colonies
in "a letter published in the West
minister Gazette. He writes
1.-The atrocities in Belgium. the i'll
treatment of prisoners and the execu-
lions of Captain Fryatt and Miss Edith
Cavell are acts that can be brought
home to the individual persons con-
cerned and punishment can be in
flicted by tribunals. When, however,
we go beyond these persons. respon-
sibility is altered.
1.-The former German emperor and
the higher German politicians must
be surrendered first and then pun
ished by executive acts. For this pro-
cedure there are most ample prece-
dents These criminals can be put
away where they will have-no further
chance of bringing mischief on the
world, or they can be executed.
I'm other words it is important that
legal technicalities must MT 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 JuriSts

Course as Wilson

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S. - Secretary
Tumulty made public tonight second
letter he has written at President Will
sons direction to the Cuyahoga County
Republican Committee in Cleveland
making further reply to protests
against the Presidents appeal to the
country to return Democratic Con-

Republican Presidents on this subject.
Extracts are given from several pub

the close of the Spanish American war
urging that a Republican Congress be
elected, from letter written by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1906 to a member Of
Congress and from letter of Presi-
dent Taft in 1910 to the chairman of
the National Republican Congressional
Committee on the same subject.
Mr.. Tumulty's letter was in reply to

Scored by Smith
For Service Here
Democratic Candidate for
Governor Predicts Mu-
nicipal Ownership

Alfred f. Smith, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, in addresses at Ar
cadia Hall and two other meetings in
Brooklyn last night, attacked the Pub
lie Service Commission for the ser
vice that it has given New York City
and demanded that Governor Whitman
announce his attitude in regard to
municipal ownership.
Ne also assailed Barnes for his rally
ing to the Whitman colors and his con-
demnation Of the Democratic party.
saying:
"The boss OF Albany County coming
out in support of the Republican can
didate for Governor clearly states the
issue when he says The Democratic
party presents to the people Of the
United States the greatest possible eco
nomic menace that it could have when
the war is over What Barnes means
by that is that he is against the devel-
opment of our natural resources for
and he is opposed to the municipal
ownership of public utilities. He de-
clares that in his statement in just so
many words.
Concerning the Public Service Com
mission, MIR. Smith said:
Municipal ownership Of public utili-
ties is coming in this state and neither
Barnes nor Whitman can prevent it.
They can delay it and add to the dis
comfort, suffering and the inconven-
ience of the public in this city caused
by the breakdown of the Public Ser
vice Commission. This is a matter
over which the Governor should exer-
else some control. He appointed the
Public Service Commissioners and he
is responsible. In its eleven years of
existence it has failed to justify its
great cost to the people of this city.
"When legislative committee in
vestigated it the Democratic minority
Of that committee found certain flags
In the law ITSELF and it was behind
these that the corporations hid and
escaped effective regulation. The
Governor took advantage of the find
ings Of the committee to remove the
Commissioners and replace them with
men who helped him politically, but
ignored that part of the report that
would have strengthened the law so
that where the commission were in
cllned, it would have some real control
over the service rendered by public
service corporations"

For the first time since the campaign

Whitman replied directly last night to
the charges of the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, Alfred e. Smith,
that he had administered the labor
laws badly and had been extravagant
in his highway expenditures. He de-

friend of labor.

cratic candidate" said Mr.. Whitman,
with having broken down protection
for laboring men which the laws of the
state are supposed to give him. AS a
matter of fact, my administration has
been specifically and repeatedly praised
by labor leaders.
''In the last few days I have received
Endorsements from John Mitchell and
from James P. Holland, president Of
the New York State Federation Of
Labor. Both declared labor conditions
we're nowhere better than in New York
state,
''As to the charge Of extravaganza in
the Highways Department, l would like
TO call your attention to the fact that
n the last Democratic administration,
ended in 1914, the total miles of new
highways constructed amounted to 1868.
This cost S1,269 900. In the last nine
months we have built 327 miles of road
ut cost Of $307 900.
"When you remember that the cost
Of labor and materials has increased
tremendously, think our record stands
pretty well in comparison. Mind you,
we have not tried to see how many
miles we could build. We have con-
lined our efforts to constructing only
the actual amount of new highways
that were necessary"
The Governor provoked considerable
amusement in referring to recent state
ments of Mr.. Smith that he expected

"If Mr.. Smith goes to Albany" said
Mr.. Whitman, "there's another animal
he'll take there. That's the Tammany

that fellow"
