PLAN COURT TO TRY
GERMAN WAR LORDS
Kaiser Dodges Neutral Trial, De-
cIining to Play Martyr for
Sake of Germany.

Berlin.-The constitutional conven-
ton has completed it's consideration Of
bill creating a state court which
would try those accused of starting,
lengthening and losing the war. II
will be presented to the national as
Sembly soon.
The measure provides for commit
tee of fifteen members of the national
assembly to investigate the political
and military leadership Of the coun-
try prior to and during the war, and
requires the government to produce
any documents needed at the projected
trial The court would be composed
of fifteen members, including the pres
idents of the imperial, military, Prus-
sian, Bavarian and Hanseatic supreme
courts, five members of the national
assembly and five senators. The ac;
cused would be permitted to have
counsel and would be given the privi-
lege of testifying. Deliberations Of
the court would be secret, and there
would be no appeal from its verdict.
Former Emperor Wilhelm declines
voluntarily to offer himself as sac
rifice for the sins of Germany. The
ex-Kaiser did not encourage the plan
conceived in Il circle of his personal
friends here to relieve Holland of the
question of his delivery and. at the
same time do something for his own
reputation by boldly offering to stand
trial before a neutral high court.
The person who went to Amerongen
on that alleged mission and whose
identity cannot be disclosed has re-
turned with report that his mission
was unsuccessful. He is said to have
found the eX-Kaiser so optimistic flat
nothing could happen to him, and
aside from that in such nervous con-
6!,tln, that he was unable to put the
idea over.
The idea has not been abardoned
entirely, but it is said the originators
Of the scheme are very sceptical.
The plan was for the eX-Kaiser to
call upon the heads of two neutral
governments to create a high court
made up Of European neutrals, before
which he was voluntarily TO. place him
self on trial to answer the charges
made against him by the Allies

The resolution demanding the text

TROOPS FIRE INTO MASSES.
Oedenburg Now Declared in State OF
SIEGE and Dictatorship Proclaim
ed-Massacre Follows Refusal
to Join the Bosheviki.

Vienna.-Three thousand peasants,
including women and children, have
been shot or hanged by the Red army
as "a consequence of revolts in western
Hungary around Oedenburg, according
to news considered trustworthy, which
has been received here. The entire
village of Kollerhof was burned.
The massacre took place after 81
villages surrounding Oedenburg had
refused to 90 over to Bolshevism.
They desired to join with Austria.
Bella Kun, the Communist leader
and minister of foreign affairs, ana
Joseph Pogany, Bolshevik minister OF
war. visited the districts, then sent
orders to Commissioner Semely, to
whom such class of work is usually
deputed because of his bloodthirSty
character, to conduct acquisitions or
clothing, food and imperial paper
crowns, now called "blue money to
distinguish it from "reds" or Soviet
money.
The peasants, according to the ad-
vices, gathered a small army, number
ing Il few thousand, armed with rifles,
axes, scythes and similar weapons,
against which Red division was sent.
The peasants were surrounded. kol-
lerhof was shelled, then machine guns
were turned against it on Thursday
and Friday nights. A majority OF
those qeeing' from the burning village
were shot. Those who were captured
were hanged.
Severe fighting is in progress be-
tween Budapest and Vienna, north of
the Danube, between the Czecho-Slo-
yaks and the Hungarian Communist
forces. The Hungarians have crossed
the River Neutra and are threatening
Pressburg (Pezsony).
The position of the CZechs in ~Slo-
vakia is more serious, as the Hun
garian Communists have been stirring
up the SIoyaks against the CZechs.
The Hungal'ians point out that the
Czechs refused to give the Slovaks
autonomy and also have not treated
them as brothers. They add that for
1000 years the Slovaks and Hungari-
ans lived together and should con-
tinue to do so.
Patriotism is at white heat in
Prague, according to reports from the
Czech capital. The pride of the CZechs,
it is reported, has been hurt by the de-
featS Of tile Czech legionaries. who
have been regarded, especially by the
women, as the worlds greatest SOL
diers. The legionaries, trained in
France, have been doing the best work
against the Hungarians. While the
CZECH soldiers generally are Social
lists, there are no indications t!:at they
have been tainted by Bolshevism.

FORWARD TO THE FARM.

Forward to the Farm" is a little
booklet prepared under the direction
of Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant
to the Secretary of War, in charge
Of the unemployment work for ex-
service men.
The interesting facts and figures
gathered in that booklet show that
farming is no longer laborer's work.
Old back-breaking farming methods
are obsolete. The farmer no longer
follows furrow the whole day at
the heels of balky mule. He uses
tractor which pulls three ploughs
without any exertion on Sis part and
does more work in q day than was
formerly done in a week. The scythe
is as obsolete as the spinning wheel.
The harvesting machine and the bind
er have taken its place. Farming
has become business and science.
The farmer completes with his pro-
ducts in the open market. The quail
ity and quantity of his products,
whether they be dairy products, hogs,
fruits or grains, are not the result
of chance and hard labor, but of
knowledge and good judgment. AL
most eighty per cent of the Ameri-
can farmers own one or more auto
mobiles. In many parts of the coun-
try they form co-operatives to buy
in common modern machinery, pas
ture land, pedigreed bulls for their
herds, and other things which they
could not profitably own individually.
In advising the ex-service man to
engage in farm work Colonel Arthur
Woods says that every man falls in
to one of the following three classes:
l. Those who have already work
ed on farm but have no capital with
which to start farming for themselves
Good farm hands draw today twice
the pay they drew five years ago,
Fifty dollars a month and board for
steady hands is the average. And
it is all velvet. Few men save that
much in the city. With the money
thus saved, the experienced farmer
will soon be on the road to success,
2. The ones who have some mon
ey but don't know the difference be-
tween a plowshare and whiffle tree.
Men in this class command good wag-
es while they are learning the trade.
In the winter they can go to an agri-
cultural school and learn to know
what they are about next spring
33. Glass three is for the lads
who neither have money nor eXpe-
rience. The central west is calling
aloud for all kinds of men, skilled or
unskilled, to help harvest the might
lest wheat crop the world has ever
SEEN Unskilled men get 40 to SO
cents an hour, and board and lodging
free. The job is good until late
September Not many clerks or Of
fee men will have as much velvet
money at the end of such a short pc
riod. And if the harvest hand proves
that he is willing and steady, perman-
ent jobs will run after him. A bus
mess and a trade, modern farming
ranks among the most profitable and
most pleasant occupations the cOun-
try affords.
Will these good times on the farm
keep up? Food experts say that the
high prices for farm products will
continue for many years.
The richest parts of Europe have
been scared by war. Cattle and hogs
are well nigh depleter. Europe has
eaten up her reserves of goods. 1t
will take many years to catch up
again. Meanwhile America will be
the breadbasket of the world.
