Paris, Tuesday, Dec. 10.-Legal
action against thu former Emperor
Of Germany has ben commenced by
the mothers of Lille, France. They
set forth in their bill of indictment
that the German commanders in
April, 1916 directed that minor girls
be carried away and separated from
their families and were subjected to
odious treatment and placed in close
contact with notorious women. The
complaint further alleges that while
said commanders were also guilty
that they we're under the direction
of the former Emperor of Germany
who had full cognizance of the acts
OF his soldiers.

LOOKS LIKE LLOYD GEORGE

London, Dec. 10-(Via Montreal. }
The British election campaign on
the whole is lethargic, owing to the
result not being in doubt. There Is
general agreement as to the outcome.
The government will carry more
than four hundred seats and of
these, members, about 50 will be
Liberal supporters of Lloyd George.
The second largest organized group
will be the Labor party which may
get one hundred seats. The follow
ing of ex-Premier Asquith is devel-
oping strength and may elect eighty
five or ninety members. The re-
mainder of the House will be COM
posed mainly of Sim Feiners.
The virtual destruction of the ma
tionalists party is looked for in some
quarters.
There is very little controversy
over the governments program
which is generally accepted.
The features of the campaign are
the bitterness shown toward Lloyd
George by the Asquith Liberals and
the Laborites and the fact that meet
ings addressed by extremists in the
Labor party are very largely at
tended.

OF RIGHTS OF STATES

Washington, Dec aboE-

of States or III cir railroad taxes, and
threatened ca4amity 10 No4th Car
olina, are among the Iorebodings
pictured by Judge George p. Pell, OF
the North Carolina Corporation
Commission if government control
Of railroads continues. He writes
Senator Lee S. Overman letter
that doesn't mince words, and while
anticipating railroad investigation
he thinks it preferable to bar from
membership any irginan or Georgi,
an. He throws down the gauntlet
with a bang and his views doubt
less will precipitate controversy
before he can walk very far UP Fay
etteyille street. His interesting let
ter follows:
The people Of North Carolina are
appealing to members OF our com
mission to do something to prevent
the calamity TO the State threatened
by continuance Of the national
control of the railroads.
-Four years ago you will remem--
Der we had an uprising in our State,
led by Honorable Il. j. Justice ana
the Just freight rate association,
which finally resulted in compro-
mise so as to relieve North Carolina
partially of her great disadvantage
in competing with Virginia cities,
the relief only applying to goods
shipped into the State through the
Ohio and Mississippi river crossings.
When this much of victory was
won we thought we would have a
rest, but the Virginia cities brought
the matter up in another form be
! fore the Interstate Conn erce Com
mission and, after long struggle
We won out.
Now, the National Railroad Ad-
ministration is about to put into ef-
feet mileage scale of rates and a
new classification scheme which will
not only wipe out every advantage
we have gained, but put us in q far
worse position than ever We are
hopeful that before this can be done
our delegation in Congress can make
some sort of racket that will force
the railroads back to private con
troll.
The question og government
ownership or absolute control is a
very serious one for the South, 1t
is not only socialistic in principle
but wilu result in much that is
harmful to us. Aside from its effect

GERMANS EXPECT
SHIPS RETURNED
But English Naval Writer Says
1t Canot Be. Indications
Point to Victory
FOR LLOYD GEORGE

London, Monday, Dec. 9.--Archi-
bald S. Hurd, the naval writer in the
Daily Telegram today says with ref
erence to the idea said to be held by
some Germans that the surrendered
German warships would be returned
to Germany after peace was signed,
that it points of course, to a COM
plete misapprehension of the inten-
tions of the allies, "for it is certain
that these ships will never again
fly the German ensign"
Mr.. Hurd says that the only course
to adopt is to distribute the German
warships among the allies in accord
ance with the losses which each has
suffered Mr.. Hurd suggests that
German submarines be broken up
and the parts used for other pur-
poses.

SIMMONS SPEAKS
ON REVENUE BILL
Debate on the Revised Bill
Began in the Senate
Today
DEFENDS 1920 BILLS
DEFENDS 1920 BILLS

Washington, Dec. 11.-Debate Oh
the revised war revenue bill began
in the Senate Yesterday with the
presentation of the majority and MI
nority reports from the Senate FL
nance Committee before small at
tendance of Senators. The measure
has beer given right of way and be-
cause Of Republican opposition TO
the fixing of 1920 taxes discussion
is expected to continue almost in
definitely.
Chairman Simmons opened the
debate by presenting the majority
view on the legislation, while Sena-
tor Penrose spoke for the Republi-
can members, except Senator LaFol-
lette, of Wisconsin, attacking the
1920 taxation plan. Senator Thorn
as, OF Colorado, Democrat, present
ed an individual report criticising
the excess profits and inheritance
tax features, and Senator Smoot OF
Utah, Republican, plans to file ali
individual statement today. Later
Senator LaFollet.e also presented
his views.
Senator Simmons completed his
statement yesterday and in defend
ing the 1920 tax provisions declar-
cd that American business interests
are entitled to know what tax bur
dans they will be called upon to
bear during the period Of recon
struction. He asked il the Repub-
licans advocating postponment OF
1890 legislation desired to keep the
question in obeyance solely in order
that the next Congress, controlled
by Republicans, may handle the
matter.
The minority report while ex-
pressing general approval of the
| 1919 tax program declared that eX-
tension of the legislation to 1920 is
without justification. Senator Pen
rose said future conditions are too
uncertain and information at hand
, insufficient for Congress now to fix
schedules for 1929. He added, how
ever, that tax reductions in that
year are foregone conclusion.
Besides the Republican opposi-
ton to the 1920 program, severa
features of the bin relating to 1915
taxes, met with the disapproval Of
individual senators and many amend
ments are to be offered.
Opposition already is developing
to the elimination of the so-calleC
luxury taxes, while increase of tht
individual income sur-tax, corpora
tions and war excess profits rates al
so is to be proposed.
In his statement yesterday Sena
tor Simmons discussed briefly th,
child labor and second-class posta
rate amendments to the bill. HI

signed as a prohibitive tax on in
