TO TRY GERMANS
FOR ATROCITIES

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-"Atroeity trials
Of Germans known to have committed
crimes against humanity on the high
seas will soon begin, and. according to
Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, the
German defendants will be executed
IL found guilty.
Rear Admiral Hall was in charge OF
the British Admiraity's intelligence
department during the war. He is
now q member, Of Parliament from
Liverpool, having been retired.
A method Of procedure against the
German offenders has already been
drafted, according to Sir Reginald. The
offenders will be divided into two
classes: 1-Those in authority who
ordered deeds of infamy. 2-Those
who carried them out.
"If any German we now have in
custody proves he obeyed orders in
committing any sea crime, then we
will proceed against the higher Ger
man authorities" said Sir Reginald.
"Our arm Is long enough TO reach the
hiGher-ups. In the case OF the hos
pital ship LlAndovery Castle, the man
who sunk her will be brought to trial
He will be defended by counsel in
open court and II convicted he shall
die"

TOPASS
PENSIONS BILL GOOD

Fresh hope Of getting action on
the Mcclellan Heating bill for PEN
sion and retirement system for Gov
eminent employees has been aroused
among Government employees and the
officials OF the employees organiza-
tions.
Though the session will end tive
weeks from today, the bill could b
passed II steps were taken TO expe-
dite 1t through the House.
Refuse Special Rule.
The Rules Committee has beer
hanging back and refusing to grant
a special rule for the consideration
OF the bill. Now, through efforts OF
the Civil Service Retirement Commit
tee. more than 200 members Of tn
House have signed a petition to the
Rules Committee asking 1t to grant
a rule Of this kind.
The mere fact this petition has
been signed indicates that II the blu
is laid before the House and vote
on it will receive q majority ana
will pass.
Under the circumstances, II Il ex-
pected the Rules Committee vii
bring in a rule after the appropriE-
ton bills In the House are out o.
the way.
The stumbling blocks in the Senate
are by no means entirely removed.
but Senator Mcclellan thinks he car
get the bill passed by that body
the House takes action.
Would Prevent Delay.
II the Senate should knock out the
Pomerene amendment the effect
would be to put the bill in the Sen
ate in the same form in which IL Is
in the House. That would insure
little or no controversy In conference
and hence no delay.
But IL the Senate should adopt the
Pomerene plan, which obliges the
clerks to raise the entire fund from
contributions, and the House the
Heating Mcclellan plan, which is on
a fifty-fifty basis. there might be
such delay in conference as to pre-
vent final action before noon OF
March 4. For this reason, the friends
OF the bill will try to get the Senate
to abandon the Pomerene amendment
or substitute.

war declaration against the German
Government. These interests, com
mercial, financial and Industrial, real

Of a secret anti-American treaty be-

circulated.
Charges are now heard that the

Germand influence as soon as she en-

the primary objects to the proposed

ELECTION ID LEVY
 SCHOOL TAX CALLED
Proposed Tax Not an In- crease of Taxation, Says
 Commissioner HOrnady

An election to levy 3-mill tax to run which has just been overruled by the supreme court is expected to be held within 30 days, as result of the meet ing of the city board of education held yesterday afternoon in Commissioner John R. Hornadys office.
 The educational board passed a resolu- tion asking the county board to request that the board of revenue to call a spe- cial election for the purpose of voting the substitute 3-mill tax, which will run for 10 years from the time of that voted by the county, just as does the county levy.
 The county board of education is ex- pected to meet tomorrow morning, pass the necessary resolution and submit it to the board of revenue, which is ex- pected to authorize the election to be held at an early date
 The proposed tax is not an increase in taxes" said Commissioner Hornady yesterday Tt will merely replace the tax already authorized by the people. That tax, in fact, was not an increase. in taxation, because when it was passed the city commission cut the sinking fund mills. The decision of the supreme court only puts us to the expense of another election. That's all.'
 MT. Hornady stated that the city will proceed with it's plans for educational improvement Work on the new high school building, he said, probably will be begun next spring, and should be com pleted in F or 15 months.
 The 3-mill tax will bring in about s2O0, : 900 annually, according to Mr Hornady, and immediately upon it's authorization the school bonds will be saleable
