The son of a soldier who went thru

WILL PASS UP BLAME
Indications Are That "Responsiblity y
Committee" Will Take No Action.

Paris, Feb. 24.-Present indications
are that nothing regarding the re-
sponsibility for the war. beyond a
declaration of general principles will
be included in the preliminary treaty
of peace. The special commission
considering the liability of either gov
ernments or individuals to punishment
has worked in great secrecy and has
heard arguments on every side of the
problem from experts in international
law, but it is gathered that the only
result that can be expected in time
for incorporation in the peace treaty
is an expression of opinion on the gen.
eral principles that may be applied to
the cases. so far considered.
