 BUILDING IN WOODVONT BURNS

New Haven, Dec. 12.---A house in Woodmont, on the west shore, notice- able because of its commanding loca- tion, and which was the Connecticut building at the Chicago fair in 1893, was burned today. It was originally designed to typify Connecticut colon ial architecture. A group of men bought the building and had it brought to Woodmont. In recent years it had been used as a summer residence but just before the war several New Haven men bought the place with the intention of changing it into an automobile inn.
 The Connecticut building was pro- vided at state expense. After the fair, Lieutenant-G Governor J. D. De- welt bought it and had it transferred. Later Judge s. L. Bronson, afterwards a candidate for governor, owned the house. Two years ago in the settle ment of the estate the house was sold to two men here, who expected to sell it to a local man for 5000 for an inn. The war stopped the change and it was stated today that the deal had not been made and title remained with AdoIph Perlroth and Benjamin Slade who place their loss at $30,- 900.
 Michael Muffin, careta<er, in whose room the fire apparently started, is missing and is believed to be dead.

WOMAN POLICE
 CAPTAIN FACES
 COURT MARITAL

New York, Dec. 12-Mrs. Isabelle Louise Fields, a captain in the city s police reserves which are organized on a military basis, today was order ed to appear before a court martial to answer charges of creating dis order recently at the offices of the New York Staats Zeitung. where dolls and toys alleged by Mrs. Fields to have been made in Germany were being sold.
 The complaint, which sets her hearing for tomorrow, accuses the woman police official of "conduct un- becoming an officer, conduct prejudi- cial to good order and discipline and conduct prejudiciaI to the public peace and welfare"
 The authorities charge that Mrs. FFieIds' protests against the reported Isale of German-made goods prompted assemblage of a threatening crowd about the Staats Zeitung building. Mrs Fields, who is a member of various patriotic organizations, said she had objected to the toy sale. not as a police officer, but as a private | citizen.

a great emergency. When that emergency is passed, the act will lapse, and there is no intention to renew it.
 Whether conscription will he required in the future in any form depends not upon the opin- ions which I now express, but upon the peace terms that are to be made.
 What drove us to conscrip- ton was the existence of con script armies on the continent which inevitably rushed the world into war. They could not have great military machines without tempting the men at the heads of them to try their luck with those machines The Ger mans felt that there was nothing to resist their perfect military machine.
 If you want permanent peace, if you want to prevent the hor- TOTS of this war being repeated. you must put an end to conscript armies on the continent of Eu- rope.
 'The first thing to do is to prevent the repetition of the blunders of the past by making it impossible to have these great conscript armies in the future.
 we had not the machinery for an offensive war. Our navy was a defensive weapon, and not an offensive one, and that was why we do not mean to give it up.
 We have kept these islands free from invasion for centuries and we mean to take no risks in the future.'
 With regard to the ex-kaiser, MT. Lloyd George said:
 There is absolutely no doubt that he has committed a crime aginst international right. There is absolutely no doubt that he ought to be held responsible for 1t as far as the European Allies are concerned---end I hope that America will take the same view when President Wilson arrives, as to the demand that will be put forward on the paDt of all Euro pean Allies to make the Kaiser and his accomplices responsible for this terrible crime"

GERMANY MUST PAY AND WILHELM STAND TRIAL
 SAYS BRITISH PREMIER
The decision that :,

''The decision that will be taken in the next few months in the peace conference is going to leave a mark upon the world. Ages to come will be able to reap the fruits of it.
 ''The war has cost Germany less than it has cost us. It has cost us fS,OOO,oo0,OOO ($4O,OoO,- 000,000)-a gigantic sum.
 ''The German bill, I believe. is six or seven thousand millions . ($3O,0O0,000,O00 or 5,OO0,000,- 00O.)
 Tt is indefensible that the per son who is in the wrong and has lost should pay less than the per son who is declared to be in the right and has won. A British inn perial commission was appointed to investigate the capacity of Germany and I have received it's report.
 ''1-As far as justice is con- cerned, we have an absolute right to demand the whole cost of the war from Germany.
 "2-We propose to demand the whole cost of the war from Ger many.
 '3-When you come to the ex- acting of it you must exact it in such a way that it does not do more harm to the country that receives it than to the country that is paying it.
 ''4-The committee appointed by the British Cabinet believes that that can be done.
 "5-Our Allies are in the same boat. We shall put our demands all together and whatever they are they must come in front of the German war debt"
 The premier said the first con- sideration in the minds of the Allies would be the interests of the people upon whom the Ger mans had made war, and not the interests of the German people who had made war and had been guilty of the crime.
 With regard to conscription, the Prime Minister said:
