TRY EVERY OFFENDER
FOR CRIME IN WAR
RY LowELL MELLETT

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, March 25.---rh4 matter Of
providing economic safeguards to pre-
vent Germany from capturing world
markets is proving SO difficult that
there is strong likelihood that each
nation will be left to look out for it
self in this regard, it is learned from
an authoritative source today.
In the light of encoura cement Of
fered the bolsheviki by the present
blockade, of which the Hungarian sit
uation is evidence, the British are in
creasingly disposed to join the Am
orleans in insisting that the blockade
be lifted immediately, regardless of
when the peace treaty is signed. The
British purpose now seems to be to
insist that Germany pay specified
damage claims in such a manner that
she will not be crushed economically.
Every Offender ON Trial
The committee on responsibility
for the war is understood to have
completed its work reaching the con-
clusion as recently outlined by the
United Press, drawing up what prac-
tically amounts to international indict-
ment affecting every offender from
the former kaiser down to the lowest
private, Contrary to the original
plan. however, it is reported the COM
mittee will recommend that all offen-
ders be tried in the countries in which
the crimes were committed except
where they have no national laws fit
ting their cases. In that contingency
they are to be tried by an interna-
tional court to be created. The for
mer kaiser probably will not be tried
as there is no international precedent
covering his case.
A curious commentary made re-
Gently by one of the committee con-
cerning American members, said;
1.-The Americans are too damned le-
gal minded. They refuse to take an
obvious common sense view some
times because there is no law to sup
port it"
