PEACE TREATY WILL COMPEL
GERMANY TO CONDEMN THE
KAISER AS ARCHCRIMINAL

Paris, March lit will be the fate
of former. Emperor William to be
branded for all time as an archcrimin-
al by the solemn declaration of all the
nations assembled at the peace confer
ence, to which even his own country
may be called upon to subscribe in the
peace terms, according to the present
plans of what is believed to be ma
jority of the commission on response
bility for the war. &c.,. .......'
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, how
ever, regarding subordinate German
officials, although a, majority 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 a rule would apply to the of
ficer who executed Captain Fryatt, but
not the executioner of Edith Cavell,
who, it is pointed out, might have
been technically guilty of espionage.
No doubt is felt as to the liability to
punishment of German officer taken
prisoner of war and found guilty of
atrocities.

MERGE DEPARTMENT TO
WORK REDUCED PRICES.

Washington, March 12.-Gsorge N.
Peck, chairman of the new industrial

predicts prices on most of the basic
commodities, including food, will be
brought down within 60 or 80 days.
The board plans to call representa-
tives of each Of the industries to
Washington, agree with them on price
schedules that will be fair and relieve
the business stagnation. Then the
board will recommend these prices to
the public.
Lower Prices Is Aim.
Steel men will first submit their
schedules Of after the war prices and
they will be followed by brick, cement,
fuel, lumber, food and textiles, prob
ably in the order named.
"The board hopes to establish price
schedules that will stand until the nor.
NAL law of supply and demand can
take effect again." Peek said. Our
whole aim is to establish prices that
will establish confidence enough to re-
lieve business stagnation and send us

of prosperity" r.
The board intends to talk lower
prices at all times, members said. They
criticized several government agencies
for predicting higher figures for some
commodities.
Complete cooperation between the
board and the railroad administration
has been promised and this may mean
that some of the high freight rates will
be lowered, particularly in building
and road materials as requested by
the recent conferences Of governors
and mayors. -. ~,
Tables Of the board show food has
gone up los per cent. over the prewar
figure, with milk and eggs showing the
highest increase. Building materials
average 100 per cent increase.
