MAY NOT TRY KAISER
Belgium Wants Entire Power II Any
For Trial.

Paris. April 1.-THE Belgian dele
cation to the Peace Conference today
informed the correspondent that Bel
GUM had not been officially request
ed by the Council of Four to bring the
former German Emperor to trial, and
that the Belgian Government would
feel obliged to decline to take the
step, even if they were requested for
such action.
The Belgian delegates hold that
any action should-be taken by a com
mission representing all the asso-
ciated powers. The official Belgian
view. ii was said is that the former
Emperor cannot be arraigned for de
claring war or violating the neutral
ity Of Belgium, or for any act pre-
ceding or coincident with the decla.
ration OF war.
After pointing out that there was
no tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former Emperor
and no provision of international law
covering such cases. the delegates
said that Belgium expected that per
sons guilty of acts punishable under
the criminal codes of any of the bel
ligerent powers should be placed on
trial, as theft, murder, and other
crimes committed during war did not
relieve the criminals of responsibility

TROY IS VISITED
BY DESTRUCTIVE
CONFEDERATION
F0ur-StOry Brick Building on
River Street Destroyed
LOSS NOT DETERMINED
William B. Henderson, Principal Los.
er, intended to Give Up Business
in Short Time

Tfoy, April 17.-River street was
visited by a destructive fire last
night. The four.story brick building
at No. S29, occupied by William B.
Henderson, with the entire stock of
china, crockery and glassware, was
destroyed. 1t also damaged the build
ing and stock of Schmidt Koerner &.
Co., SS1 and 333 River street, and to
more or less extent damaged the
building and stock of Casper u. HUI
lett at 327 River street. It was i'm
possible to obtain an estimate of the
losses at 3 O'Clock this morning when
the blaze was believed under control.
The fire originated on the third
floor OF the Henderson building and
must have been burning some time
before an alarm was sounded.
Fifteen minutes after the first
alarm was sounded Chief Cornelius
Casey ordered a second alarm sound
ed. This brought the entire fire fight
ing force downtown.
1t was understood that Mr.. Hender-
son intended to go out of business
since for some time sales have been
underway at the store. 1t was i'm
possible to see the proprietor to OBJ
tain an estimate of what his loss will
be- Though it was said good por-
ton Of his stock has been sold with
out any having been added, there was
still a great supply in the four
stories.

TO
ENFORCING LAW
ON PROHIBITION
Anti-Prohibitionists Believe Lit
tie Enforcement Will Be Made
LACK NECESSARY FORCE
They Alo Claim Law Was Made As
War Measure in interest of Con-
servation of Food Only

Many obstacles are to be placed in
the way'of enforcing war time prohibi
ticn. The Anti-prohibitionists are
expressing the belief that little effort
will be made to put the measure into
effect July / They also claim that
the collector of internal revenue has
not the force at his disposal neces-
sary to effectively resist efforts of de-
feating the operation OF the law While
Mr. Roper wants the law enforced, he
is not willing that his bureau shall
become burlesque for the entertain
ment OF the country.
In view of the fact that the war
has actually come to an end several
statesmen admit that war time pro-
hibition" is something of a misnomer.
They also admit that the machinery
for its enforcement is not yet even
undergoing an ncubating process.
They are unwilling. however, to re-
commend to Congress the postpone
ment of the operation Of the law until
the sale Of intoxicating liquor ceases
through the operation Of the 18th
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton. President Wilson is known to
be perplexed over the matter He is
unwilling TO give 10 this subject any
great amount OF thought He will
have so many other afafirs to attend
to that it will be difficult for him tc
concentrate on the liquor question.
The "Anti's' bureau also states
that when war time prohibition wa:
enacted it was believed that actua
hostiliues would continue until the
fall of the present year. Is cham
pions declared that the measure wai
in the interest OF conservation o.
food and energy necessary in the cor
duct of the war At that time th'
country was willing TO sanction any
thing which gave even remote
promise of contributing to the efici
ency Of the nations lighting forces.

There is no particular change in
the telephone strike situation. Meth
the local manager or the local opera
tors have heard from headquarters.
In some places a limited service is be-
ing rendered and at several points a
part of the operators have refused to
join the strike but the tieup is com
plete here.
The Washington dispatches in the
morning papers indicate that the
postmaster general is willing to
grant demands when they are made
as he directs. while those in charge
of the strike want action taken
through other channels
The local line men and repair men
quit work this morning. This in
cludes the cable gang from Rutland
recently at work here.
The chief operator here remains
at work and answers calls from the
doctors, the hospital and from police
headquarters. The Western Union
office is swamped with business as a
result of no telephone service.
Girls from the local exchange state
that while in theory the competent
operators are supposed to get $l2 pei

pay received ranges nearer $40 Il
S1l and that there are some girl:
who have worked three and foul

NEuTRALs EXTEND caer1Ts
This Enables Germany TO Increase
Food Purchases.

Paris, April 16.-Financiers repre-
senting European neutrals and the
financial section Of the allied and as
sociated Governments have just con-
cluded a conference at which arrange
ments were made for facilitating the
sending OF food and raw materials to
Germany, and also for an extension Of
the maturing credits of Germany in
neutral States.
The German Government had asked
to be allowed TO ship gold to neutrals
against maturing credits. but this was
refused by the Allies because it was
believed to be inadvisable to permit
Germany to use liquid assets in pay
ing war debts when the money was re
quired to pay for reparations and re
store conditions in Europe, The Al
lies also held that II would be more
advantageous II Germany's liquid
assets were used for the purchase OF
food and raw materials to avert dis
tress and furnish employment for the
masses.
