GERMANY MAY INVESTI-
GATE ATROCITIES

1t is reported from Copenhagen
that the German Government has
been asked by Hans Delbrueck and
certain other conservatives in Ger
many to name an impartial commit.
tee of Germans and neutrals to make
a thorough investigation of all infor-
nation indicating infringements of
international law by Germany during
the war period The request urges
the Importance of making the scope
of such investigation broad enough
to cover all persons in any way in
vOlyed, regardless of rank, in order
to clear the name of the German peo-
pie.
While the attempt by the Germans
to initiate such movement is hope
ful sign for the ultimate regeneration
of Germany, it is of course a mistake
to expect any inquiry conducted by
Germans to accomplish far-reaching
results in the matter of disclosing
and Furnishing the criminals guilty of
the atrocities committed during this
war. If there is to be any thorough
going housekeeping in this matter it
will undoubtedly have to be conducted
by representatives of the allies or
neutral countries rather than by the
Germans themselves.

ON COAL.
Price Restrictions to Be Taken OF
BY Administration.

Washington.-Price restrictions on
bituminous coal may be removed
by the fuel administration within two
weeks. Fuel Administrator Garfield
said he hoped to cancel the price reg
ulations not later than the middle of
December
Present prices as fixed by the fuel
administrator range from $2.35 to
$4.95 ton at the mines.
Dr.. Garfield said it may be possible
to abandon the zone system of dis
tribution Of bituminous coal by the
middle of December.
The fuel administrator said he
could not take hands off" the anthra-
cite situation until winter is over.
This was taken to mean that the gov
eminent will continue its control ov-
err anthracite coal until the end of
the coal year, and that the fuel adj
ministration will continue to func-
ton until that time

THE EARTH AND MAN.

A little sun, little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west
And woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth within the mountains
breast.
A little love, little trust,
soft impulse, sudden dream
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than a mountain stream.
SO simple is the heart o. man.
SO ready for new hope and JOY;
Ten thousand years since it began
Have left it younger than boy.
