HOLLWEG ASKS
ALLIES TO TRY HIM
Former German Chancellor
Willing to Assume Some
Responsibility
BIZ Associated Press.

Berlin, Saturday, June 2S.-Dr.
Theobald Won BethmannHollweg,
former German chancellor, has
formally asked the Allied and asso-
,ciated powers to place him on trial
instead of the former emperor. The
1ormer chancellor says that he as
sumes responsibility for the acts of
Germany during his period of office
and places himself at the disposal
of the Allies.
The request of the former chan
-cellor was made on June % i'll a
communication to Premier Clemen-
,ceau president of the conference. DR..
Won Bethmann- Hollweg, it is said,
desired to take this step May 20, but
refrained at that time on the eN-
pressed wish of the German govern

ON MORAL GROUND
Allies to Ask Holland to See
That He Does Not
Escape
Ru Assooiated press.

Amsterdam, June 80. The Allied
and associated powers will not ask
for the extradition of the former
Emperor. the Paris correspondent of
the Telegram learns, but will ask the
Dutch government in the name of the
League of Nations to see that Herr
Hohenzollern does not escape the
moral consequences,
1t is expected that as a member OF
the League, he adds. Holland, will in
form the former Emperor that he
must appear before an international
court or leave the country. A highly
placed French authority or interna
tional law told the correspondent
that the proceedings against the for
mer emperor would be on moral
grounds and the sentence would be
of moral character entirely. There
is no question of a death sentence OF
Imprisonment, the correspondent was
told.
1t is probable. the correspondent
continues, that the crimes of the for
mer Emperor against international
mortality in starting the war and in
violating Belgian neutrality. VIII be
condemned severely; the Hohenzol-
lerns will be declared forever de-
posed and ii will be made impossible
for the former Emperor to do fur
ther harm by assigning him a place
of residence from which he must not
move.

Great Coal Saving Record
Brings Words of Praise

During March and April, total of
8 ,405 tons of coal was saved on the
Middle division of the Pennsylvania
railroad. In his report on this good
work, J. c. Johnson. superintendent,
compliments the men on their good
work and urges still further good
records.
According to the figures, in March
of 1919, 50 per cent. less coal was
used than in the corresponding
month of 1918, and during April 0.3
per cent. less was used than in April
of last year, both being on freight
trains.
In the passenger service, SO less
was used in March and 2.3 less in
April than the corresponding months
of last year Passenger service has
become exceedingly heavy because OF
the movement of troops homeward
thus the smaller decrease.
| In pointing out the saving Mr.
Johnson says that "it saved labor anG
cash. We did not need to buy the
coal 1t did not have to be placed or
| the tender and then into the firebo2
and no ashes had to be removed"

Traffic on Reading Shows
Increase During Last Week

During last week traffic on the
Reading showed big increase
Trains in and out of Rutherford
yards were heavy. on one day $500
cars were handled on the Lebanon
Valley or this number 1873 were
brought East and all loaded. Much
of this passed over the East Penn.
The anthracite trade is booming
and the mines are now producing
from 1900 to 1,400 cars a day. The
shipments out of st. Clair in a single
day and which passed over the main
line consisted of 1900 cars. The
crews on the main line in "a hours
handled 3,100 cars southbound alone.
The demand for bituminous and
anthracite is so great that the con-
signees are asked to unload all cars
promptly, so that they can be re-
