First Fixed Ammunition.

It is to Gustavus Adolphus of Swe-
len, whose reign began in 1911, that
history gives credit for the invention
of fixed ammunition. In his cartridges
the bullets and the charge were united
in a paper case. 1t was not, however,
until 1850 that the first successful me.
tallic cartridge was patented by an
American.

wild. Duck Consumes Much RIee.

On his way down from Canada or
Alaska to the Gulf, the wild duck
makes a stop-over of so days in the
California rice fields, and during his
stay consumes a large part Of the rice
crop, a cupful OF rice at a meal. This,
considering that the wild duck ap-
pears in numbers Of perhaps million
or so, makes the situation much more
serious than it sounds.

COL. HOUSE ILL, U. S.T0
HAVE NO representative
AT MEETING IN LONDON
BY FRED s. FERGUSON,
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 3O.-The pulse of in
ternational politics is visibly quicken
ing as additional issues cautiously are
brought out in the informal prelim-
mary peace discussions.
The principal new issue is the
proposition to divide the Germany
navy among the allies.
The United States is able to state
on good authority that this would not
be received favorably by the United
States, which is not deviating from
it's course that il wants nothing cut
of the war.
At the same time, the psychological
effect on the world of such a division
of boche implements of war would be
that it was not in keeping with the
ideas for which America fought, IL the
latter accepted a portion OF the sur
rendered fleet
Would Dwarf Q. 8. Fleet.
The obvious object of the suggested
division among the allied nations is
that such distribution would result
in increasing the combined bulk of
the European navies to such an ex-
tent as veritably to dwarf the feet
Of America, which is entitled to main
tain equal sea power in the league Of
nations.
Colonel House will not attend the
conference OF allied leaders in Lon
don. His doctors have ordered him to
remain in bed. The United States
will thus be unrepresented at the
meeting of allied premiers.
Paris newspapers are giving promi-
nence to dispatches regarding the po-
liticaI furore which President Will
sons coming trip to France has
created in his own country. The
fact that such an internal squabble
could gain so much prominence at
present is creating amazement in
European circles. Here the only ques-
ton concerning the Presidents trip
is the selection from the rush of ap-
pIicants for representatives. of all
classes to welcome him formally.
Delegate. to Arrive Next Week.
The allied delegations will begin
arriving next week. The British
alone will number between three and
four hundred, including experts on all
subjects. The resultant shortage in
hotel accommodations is acute.
King Victor Emmanuel Of Italy Is
expected to reach Paris the middle Of
December. The Crown Prince OF
Serbia will be the next member OF
royalty TO arrive.
Edwin Hurley is negotiating for
the use of German and Austrian pas
senFer ships to facilitate the trans
portation of the American army back
home. He also is seeking to obtain
enemy cargo ships to aid in providing
food for the Czecho-Sloyaks and other
allied nations which face a serious
food crisis.

lions will be handled when the block

JUR|STS URGE

Be TRIED FOR
WAR CRIMES

Leading jurists of Great Britain
ard this country are convinced that
the former Kaiser can be brought to
triafNnder the present provisions of
international law and are urging
that he be punished for the atrocities
perpetEated by the Germans under
his command during the war.
In an address last night at New
castle, England, Premier Lloyd
George declared that the leading
jurists of Great Britain were con-
WINGED that there was sufficient legal
machinery in existence for bringing
the ex-Kaiser before the bar Of JUS
tice.
To Insist on Trial
+. 2. Smith, attorney general of
Great Britain, in a campaign speech
last night, said the coalition govern
ment will insist on the personal ac-
eountability of the former Emperor
for the crimes of the war.

the executive committee of the Ameri-

in New York today. said that the
Kaiser has been indicted in two West
ern States, and under the treaty be-
