their repatriation with full consideration
Of their feelings and needs.
1.-THE restitution Of personal property
to prisoners OF war constitutes legal
right which the allied and associated
Powers have every intention OF respect-
ing. AS regards information about the
missing. the allied and associated Pow
ers have always endeavored to supply
the German Government with all In
formation in their possession on this
subject, and they will certainly continue
TO do so after peace Is signed.
Concerning the care OF graves, they
would point out that Articles 225 and
226 would appear to assure to the Ger
man people that the graves Of their fel-
low citizens shall be both respected and
properly maintained, and that SO far as
Is practicable under Clause 225 the
bodies of their soldiers and sailors may
be transferred to their own country
"In regard to the German request for
complete reciprocity, the representatives
Of the allied and associated Powers have
to state that they felt It necessary to In
clude Article 222 IN view of the treat
ment which their own nationals have
received while informed in Germany dur
ing the war. AS there was no parallel
between the treatment which was ac-
corded to prisoners of war by the Ger
man Government. on the one side, and
the allied and associated Powers. on the
other. no claim for reciprocity in this re-
spect can arise.
"In regard to the third question. the
representatives OF the allied and asso-
ciated Powers are ready to do every
thing possible to repatriate German
prisoners of war and informed civilians
properly fed and in good condition after
the conclusion of peace. They regret,
however, that the present demands on
them from the territories recently lib
Grated from the German yoke. as well
as from their own nationals. will proba-
bly, make 1t impossible for them to sup
ply the prisoners Of war with clothing

Text Of the reply approved by the
council of the principal allied and asso-
clated Powers to the letter from Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau dated May 10,
1919:
Paris. May %, 1s1s--Sir: The rep
resentatives Of the allied and associated
Powers have given consideration to the
repatriation OF the German prisoners of
war. In reply they wish to state, that
they cannot agree that prisoners OF war
and civilian prisoners who have been
guilty OF crimes or penal offences should
be released. These crimes and penal Of
fences have been committed on allied
soil and have been dealt with by the
legally constituted authorities without
reference to the fact that the wrong
doer was German. rather than an al
lied citizen.
For instance, a certain German pris-
oner broke at night into the house Of a
farmer. on whose estate he was set to
woik. and murdered the farmer and
his wife in cold blood with a bail hook
For this double murder the said prison
er was sentenced to death on June IL,
1913, by regularly constituted court
martial. Under the Bern con vention
however, the execution of the sentence
10 suspended until peace is signed. JUS
tice would certainly. not be satisfied IT,
as a consequence of the treaty, this
murderer was reprieved.
For these reasons the all!ci and as.
ISOLATED Powers cannot agree to alter
the provisions of the draft treaty in
respect of prisoners of war who have
been guilty Of crimes or penal offences
Humanity Prompts Allies.
I'm regard to the second question. the
German peace delegation makes nc
specific suggestions as to the alienation
which they would propose for the pris
oners OF war and informed civilians be-
tween the date of the signing of peace
and their repatriation. The allied ant
associated Powers are not aware Of
what alienation It is possible to make
seeing that they have scrupulously en-
deavored to observe both the laws Of
war and the dictates OF humanity IL
the treatment which they have given u
prisoners of war. and that, as provided
in the last section OF Article 218, 4
Is essential that prisoners of war ant
informed civilians should remain subjec
to discipline and control pending theil
repatriation, in the interests OF all con
cerned.
THE German peace delegation may
rest assured that II Is the intention o.

German officials that they would be held

The American officers ordered the
German officials to caution the civilians

Reports to American headquarters
show that in the last few days numerous
shopkeepers have attempted to over
charge American soldiers and that Ger
mans in the streets were particularly
arrogant and refused In many cases to
give half Of the sidewalk. The Ameri-
cans have informed the Gemans that
the soldiers are instructed to give half Of
the sidewalk when passing civilians. but
in no event to step of the walk for

Reports OF the lofty attitude of civil

show a spirit of resentment toward the

vote in a committee of the whole after

described as "dismembcrmen Of the

But when the question came before the
House Of Deputies for action the vote
of the laymen defeated the plan by n
two thirds majority against it. The
plan was to permit clergy to omit the

any portion of it for such services as

When another move to change the
prayer for those in authority in the

TO VOTE ON DIVORCE TODAY

Detroit, Oct. IA Phiadclphian.
DR.. George c. Foley. of the Divinity
School has placed squarcly before the
general convention Of the Episcopal
Church the need for more definite ac-
tion leading toward Christian unity,
Doctor Foley made his step yesterday
just before the house of hishops was
thrown into n lively discussion on the
same matter over an effort to sheIyc the
proposed coucordat between the EpiS-
copal Church and the Congregational e
lists. These two moves in the two houses
of the convention indicate the strength
OF the movement within the Episcopal
Church at this convention to get more
definite action in bringing the Protestant
peoples together.
ri was Bishop Brent. the former
chief chaplain OF the A. r. F.. and
now bishop of western New York, VINO
saved the movement among the DIshops
where it was tending yesterday toward
an innoCuous resolution which would
virtually have lodged the issue SO far a.
this convention is conCvcrncd. Bishop
Rhinelander, of Pennsylvania, joined IN
the movement in the house OF bishops
by insisting that the matter should
he thrcshed out at once and pui Sduar''y
before the Church.
Definite Action Coming
Bishop Brcnt's resolution, however
prevailed aud committee OF seven
hishons is to report next Monday morn
ing definitely on what the Church shall
do in going on with the movement for
church unity.
Tho present plan is based on an
agreement between certain ministers OF
the Congregational Church and repre-
sentatiycs of the Episcopal Church who
have agreed that the churches are so
nearly alike in large ways that n 10

Episcopal Church to ordnin Congrega E
tional ministers for special work in the
church. This is but step. forward
and the discussion in 1hc house OF
bishops arose as TO wnat should be thc
next step Several rose to suggest that
the matter be left TO the coming con
ference of bishops in England. This
was objected to by Bishop Brent.
The step taken by Doctor Foley goes
further than that proposed in the House
of Risbons. His resolution suggests
that a commission of five bishops. tive
presbyters and five laymen be appointed

those contained in suggested basis OF

The pubic ty which this property has received through the act of it's having high grade ore body Of unprece- " itself, had made it famous in mining circles from he Pacific to the Atlantic, and since it was prize worthy the attention of any group of capitalists, no natter how high their standing in the financial world, it foregone conclusion that sooner or ater some of the "big ones would buy into it

 It was feared by that if the Guggenheims became interested they would obtain control and hut the mine down until railroad transportation was .Vailable. Waiting year two would mean notn- ng to them if they could thereby effect saving of
