that his wife had separated herself
from him but that he was still sup

that, if proofs we're in Mrs. Van

Word Through Brest.
Official word of the arrival of the
plane at Lisbon reached the Navy
department. first through dispatch
from Brest, France, sent by Rear
Admiral Halstead, commander OF
the American navy forces in
French waters. The message was
received at the Otter Cliffs, Me,
station and relayed to Washington.
Immediately Secretary Daniels
cabled the congratulations of the de-
partment to Commander Read and
sent a cable to President Wilson
telling him that American naval
aviatiors had been the first to cross
the Atlantic.
The message to commander Read
follows:
THE entire navy congratulates
you and your fellow aviators on
your epochal flight. The ocean has
been spanned through the air and
to the American navy goes the
honor of making the first transat-
lantic flight. We are all intensely
proud of your achievement and
thankful that it has been accom-
plished without mishap to any one
of the daring aviators who left our
shores on the first air journey to
Europe. To al of them and to you,
all honor is due"
Cablegram to Wilson.
The cablegram to President Will
son SAID:
"Know you will be delighted to
learn naval aviators first to cross
Atlantic"
Secretary Daniels said today no
definite plans for further trans
oceanic flights had been made. He
explained that the first trip was the
beginning of series of experiments
in long distance flying and that very
probably, after defects in naval air
craft had been corrected, another
squadron of seaplanes would be
headed across the Atlantic. Mr..
Daniels said he had not decided
whether the NC-4 should attempt
to fly back to the United States or
be knocked down" at Plymouth
and shipped back to America.

in the bath room for two hours.
She described trip made by her

The committee TO re-organize indus
try worked out an elaborate plan for
the whole Of Germany with regard to
the railroads, telegraphs, telephones and
postal systems. Prussia would turn
everything she had over to the republic,
and expected Bavaria and Wurttemburg
to do the same. The Bavarians aatly re-
fused to do so, and the Wurttemburgers
followed suit in spite Of the fact that
Prussia offered more than her share.
Bavaria's position is one Of extreme
independence now. Leaders do not in
tend TO allow their. state to fall under
control Of Prussia again, and it is like
" that the only confederation they
enter will be one in which Bavarian
wishes must be consulted before big
questions are settled. Their indepen-
dence viii probably be a decisive brake

HUN CARD INDEXED
FRENCH TRADE DATA
Know Customers and Se-
crets; Ready to Build
on Theft
GATHER DETAILS
OF ALL INDUSTRY
BY HAROLD 4. BECHTOL.
Furopean Manaqer OF n. y. A.


Somewhere in Germany are carefully
prepared card indexes Of thousands OF
former clients and customers Of the
industries and business wrecked by the
Germans In northern France.
They were Systematically prepared by
German trade experts during the war
for use In the days after the war.
These days are now approaching. Ana
what is the prospect
The most import Mt industrial district
OF France is not able to turn a wheel.
German industries are already working
or all ready TO get back in the busi-
ness scramble.
In their quest for trade they have
records-'trade secreis"--of the French
industries they ruined They hape to
grab LOT Of that trade before Franco
can possibly be in position to rUm-
pete for it.
The people who used 10 buy from
these French factories that were, fre
going 10 buy again. Germany IS going
after that business.
That Is what French statesmen mean
or a sample Of what they mean
when they talk about Germany building
upon the ruins Of France.
That Is what business men mean
when they ask: "ls not Germany,
beaten in the field, in a good position
10 win the war commercially, so far as
France Is concerned2"
Frances peace mission has been Sc
verely criticized, In France as well as
out for holding back on lifting the
blockade.
They have been accused Of short
sightedness in obiecting 10 allowing
Germany TO buy food with money
which might be otherwise available for
repairing some OF the damage done In
France and Belgium.
They have wanted a measure OF mill
tary protection. and military protection
IN form, that has not met with the
approval Of other missions.
Whether France has been right or
wrong, whether she has seen clearly
or whether she has been short-sighted
Is not 'he point here.
The point is that nobody who knows
and weighs the facts can fail TO sym
pathize with Frances desire for an
"even break" or better: nobody who
thinks about It at all can afford TO al
low the German propaganda that is
seeking TO twist Frances attitude into
something that isn't to bias their
judgment or menace the friendship that
has existed for centuries betweep
America and France.
The French are certain that the sys-
tenn and motive behind the German
ruination Is even today not understood
In America.
Not only did the Germans collect
names Of customers OF French indus
trles-they held regular inquiries, call
ed in the business men OF the indus
trial district and forced them 10 give
all the details Of their business.
They were German trade experts,

BRAND KAISER ARCH CRIMINAL
 FOR ALL TIME
This is Fate Fixed For For mer Emperor William By
 Peace Conference.
OWN COUNTRY WILL
 HAVE TO AGREE
: resent Plan of Commission to Fix Responsibility for
 the War.

Paris, Monday, March 10-~It will be the fate of former Emperor Will liam to be branded for all time as an arch criminal by the solemn declara- ton of all the nations assembled at the Peace Conference, to which even his own country may be called upon to subscribe in the Peace terms, ac- cording to the present plans of what is believed to be a majority of the commission on responsibility for the war.
 The report of this commission will be ready within a few days, and the indications are that the members are harmonious on the main points. There are likely to be differences, however. regarding subordinate German ofIi- cials although at present a major ity of the commission is understood to hold that they can be punished for orders given or acts permitted by them in violation of the national laws of Germany or the rules of war. Such rule would apply othe officer who executed Captain Fryatt, but not to the eXecutiOner of Edith CaveII who. it is pointed out, might have been technically guilty of espionage. No doubt is felt as to the liability to punishment of a German officer taken prisoner of war and found guilty of atrocities.
