Paris, March S.-The greatest grand
Jury Indictment the world has ever
seen will soon be returned.
The commission investigating the
responsibility for crimes committed
during the war was expected today to
submit it's report by Saturday. The
true bill will contain hundreds of
names ranging from lieutenants. to Of
ncers of the highest rank. Against
each viii be charged in detail the
crimes he is alleged to have commit
ted against humanity.
WILHELM TOPS LIST.
II the present purpose Of the
commission remains unchanged
the name Of Wilhelm tionenzolIern
will lead all the rest. But at the
same time, the United Press was
authoritatiwsly advised that it has
been practically concluded that it
will be impossible to visit direct
punishment on the former kaiser.
Men like General Ludendorff and
Field Marshal Won Hindenbure are
likely to escape for the same rea-
son. Although it is possible to
establish their responsibility as the
men higher up, it is impossible to
disregard the fact that all their
acts can be defended on the
ground that they were carrying
out the policies of the state.
The highest ranking officials, deemed
certain of being punished, are the for
mer military governors of various cit
les and districts who had arbitrary au-
thority over the lives of enemy citi-
zens, and who abused their powers or
allowed subordnates to do So
THESE TO BE TRIED.
These, of which there are hundreds,
will be tried before an international
tribunal which the commission will
recommend, be formed under the sane
ton of the league of nations This
tribunal is expected to sit for the next
several years, hearing evidence in in
dividual cases. passing judgment and
fixing penalties as fast as completed.
A permanent prosecuting committee
Is also planned.
In just what manner warrants will
be served and arrests made, has not
been determined, however. When the
commissions list is turned over to the
peace conference, it is expected it will
sible are arrested. Later the names
and pictures of those not found will be
furnished to the rogues' galleries in all
countries.
SOME ALREADY HELD.
The commissioners are confident
that practically all the accused will be
rounded up eventually and be COM
PEELED to face the tribunal. Some ar
rests have already been made, notably
a number of Turk sh officers who are
being held under the court and are
ready to hear their cases.
I'VE have some knowledge of the
atrocities that had been committed but
the detailed evidence placed before us,
made our blood run cold" one men,
ber of the commission said. "One is
inclined to say at first that men of
that kind should be boiled in oil but
it is better for the world that they be
given fair trials and the most impair
tial justice. That is our purpose"

down into the plan of the workers."
and he added the decision must be
worked out to benefit those who con-
tribute their energy and minds to max
| ing industries successful.
| Appearing suddenly before the as
sembled state and city executives an
hour before he was scheduled to speak,
the president expressed his complete
confidence that through the co-opera-
! tion of states and cities with the gov
| ernment, adequate means would be
| found for restoring industry to prop
| er basis.
COMPLETE ASSURANCE.
| I'VE are more fortunate in respect
| to this great problem than the other
| nations of the world" he said, "and
can approach the subject with COM
plete assurance"
His conferences with foreign states
men and contact with European peo-
pie. he stated, had convinced him that
| all nations are "at last learning" that
the worker is the basic element to be
considered in all business.
The president regretted that he
would be unable to deliberate with the
conferees because nothing deliberate
has been permitted since my return"
With the aid of Secretary Tumulty

work in week9 he said, "and l hope
it's not all badly DONE"

subject.
PURPOSE OF ALL.
The president urged "a decision
which will serve the purpose of ALL"

he said, there Is "a wide interna-

Quoted by the Rev. FIR. Kelly.
The deceased was 81 years old and

from a wagon at the camp of the In
land Paper Co.. in a runaway acct
dent. No bones were broken but he
suffered a scalp wound. He was
brought TO the hospital and was
treated by DR.. Fry. 1t is believed
that he was sick at the time of the

Main street and contracted with him
for the material needed, for immediate
delivery. Word was received this
week that delivery would be made at
once and that all the material would
be here in time to be laid before the
concrete work on the streets and the
sidewalks has been finished.
The council has determined to put
in post lights and figures to use IA
lamps on Main street which Will be
set on II foot ornamental posts, us
ing a 800 watt lamp at each corner
and 600-Watt lamps midway of the
long business block. The wiring for
this system will all be underground.
In this connection Mr.. Wright in
formed the council that there was no
trouble to secure electric material
of any kind and had not been at any
time even during the war and that
there was certain to be advances in
the near future in the price of wir-
ing and electrical supplies. He said
that many houses were buying large
supplies now looking forward to an
/ immediate advance in prices.
In deciding upon new lighting
system the council was unanimously
in favor of installing the series sys-
tenn rather than the multiple system
Mr.. Wright figured that the multiple
system equipment would cost little
less than the series system but that
the installation cost would be greater
and the service not nearly as salts.
factory. He told that with the mul'
tiple system the lights furthest away
from the transformers gave the dim
NEST light while with the series sys
tenn all the lights shown with equa
brightness and that the equipment h'
would send here would be capable o.
handling twice as many lights as are
now needed
The installation of the new lighting
system will be done by Frank Berger

Marshall Worley reported that SOM
repairs would have to be made on thu

have to be laid and some of the man
holes on the west fiat will have to b.
raised.
The council instructed the stree

wellnigh impossible by reason of rut
