DISINCLINATI0N TO SELL
BULLISH FACTOR IN CORN

CHICAGO. November so.-Rural dis

manitarian basis. Compared with q

Offset later by rumors that speculative
short selling Of corn might be put

WAR STAMPS BUYING
DUTY Of D. c. PEOPLE !!
All Must Purchase to the Limit in
December to Help City
Reach Quota.

II Washington is to attain the war
savings and thrift stamp quota Of
gales assigned to it for the year end
ing December 81 every man. woman
and child in the city must buy to the
limit of his or her ability during the
next thirty days, according to a state
ment issued by the District war saw
ings committee.
Although it was thought by the
committee at the close of the city
wide drive last June, when pledges
representing hundreds of thousands
of dollars were received from local
residents, that the District would then
attain its quota, the Indications are
at present that unless unusual effort
is put forth this month the city will
fall short Of the designated amount.
Signed pledges collected during this
drive have in many cases been neg
lected-that is, the signers have
failed to make good their pledges.
The influenza epidemic and the va
rious other drives" for war funds
have had their effect on the war saw
ings campaign. The feeling also that
the war Is over is believed to be re-
sponsible to some extent for the laxity
of interest in the ''baby bonds" by
which the government expects to
raise approximately $7,500,000 in the
District of Columbia by December 81
next. ~
-..T am confident" stated D. J. Calla-
han. director of the local committee,
yesterday. that notwithstanding the
dubious outlook there is too much
civic pride here to permit the Capital
city Of the nation, a community that
should be a model for all others, to
be found behind in the matter Of this
very important war finance measure.
The war is over, but the expenses to
the government in this connection are
not over by any means, and we here,
who have subscribed SO literally to
the several liberty loans, the Red
Cross and the united war work cam
paign, must exert ourselves just once
more to make war savings a COM

PUT KAISER AND ASSOCIATES TO

Capt. Cook, Home From Abroad, Declares
French and Italians Demand Trial Of
Imperial Fl Says Soldiers Will

| The putting to death Of tho former
kaiser and his associates in the crime
OF deliberately planning the world
war and the atrocities which accom-
panied It is demanded by. practically
all citizens Of France and italy. This
demand is supported by the American
| colonies in Paris and Rome.
|, Stern justice, untempered by mercy,
but not disfgured by vengeance. is
what they desire for all blood-gui1ty
statesmen and others who directed the
colossal tragedy.
This news was brought to Washing
ton last night by Capt. cassidy Cook.
formerly head Of the canteen service
for the American Red Cross at Paler-
mo, a veteran Of the Spanish-American
war and for two years president of the
board Of pardons of Ohio. Mr.. Cook
said there was fear that President
Wilson would suggest something like
a forgive and forget policy, and that
he might tell the conference that 1t Is
more important to begin the work OF
reconstruction as speedily as possible
than to make provision for the per-
sonal punishment of the former kaiser
and his co-conspirators against world
peace.
Foresees Mood Of Conference.
But the President, Mr.. Cook said.
would find that the conference will be
in no mood to permit the escape Of the
arch criminals. Already society is
formed in France for the purpose of
collecting evidence against individual
German officers and statesmen. with a
view to presenting it to an interallied
court-martial, which, it Is felt on the
European continent, the conference will
create This court will try the accused,
and If they are found guilty will pro-
Mr.. Cook, who has just returned from
italy, visiting Paris en- route, said he
would confer with number of senators
and representatives with a view to in
ducing them to present a resolution in
Congress declaring that 1t appears to be
the sense Of the American people that
the authors of the world tragedy, shall
not be permitted to escape the just dues
or their sins. Swift death, not as sol
diers, but as criminals, is demanded by
the American colonies in France and
Rome for the culprits, Mr.. Cook said.
In this sentiment, he declared, he was in
complete accord.

The statement says, in part:
''The German government, in reply
to the protest addressed to them by
the British government through the
Spanish ambassador, denied that q
German submarine attacked the Re-
wa, and, in the absence Of proof, re-
fused to discuss the protest made by
attacks made on the Glenart Castle
and Guilford Castle. The foreign
secretary thereupon transmitted
statements, supported by a sworn
declaration of facts, in regard to
the attacks upon these vessels and
pointed out that there could be no
doubt that the submarine belonged
to the German forces.

| in an equally orderly manner, without
any display of malice, they should be
put to death. It is the only thing
that will satisfy European conception
of justice and 1 am quite sure Ameri-
/ cans feel the same way"
Mr.. Cook said at any rate 1t would
resolve itself into choice between
an orderly trial and legal execution
and a disorderly trial-perhaps no
trial at all-and q disorderly execu-
ton. Because, he added, If the peace
conference doesn't provide for the
trial of the culprits there Is an inter-
national society in the forming which
will take the law into it's own hands.
In other words, assassination will be
the alternative to orderly execution.
II am quite sure that weak and
pusillanimous diplomacy will not be
tolerated at the peace conference and
any effort to extend the olive branch
toward the redhanded assassins will
be repudiated," said Capt. Cook.
There is no chance that the culprits
will in the end escape, because if an
outraged world does not try, and SEN
tence them to death, the mob will per-
form that service. But in that case
implacable vengence would take the
place of unrelenting justice. That
would be most unfortunate"

I saw evidences of Teuton cruelty that
sickened me. Men were brought to
Palermo with the tendons in their arms
and legs severad, bitten away by the
teeth OF a savage German. Austrian
prisoners said the authorities Of their
country had not authorized these beast
ly cruelties, but the German general
staff was in command and had ordered
that prisoners be made useless for fu-
ture service.
"Orders specifically given by the
German high command and under the
seal of the empire, to destroy cities
and mutilate men and women are in
the hands Of the French society that
is gathering testimony. There can be
no question about this. It is clearly
established. Do you think that a
