German On Trial For
Liebknechfs Death
tRy Associated Press,

BERLIN. Friday May 9-First Lieu
tenant Vogel, suspected of having
fired the shot which killed Rosa Lux
emburg, the radical socialist leader,
was called to the witness stand today
in the trial of the alleged murderers
of Fraulein Luxembourg and DR.. Karl
Liebknecht. He admitted that the
preliminary investigation he gave a
false account of the occurrence in
order not to discredit his military
division. He testified that he was
instructed to convey Fraulein Luxem-
burg safely to Moabit prison, but
found this impossible owing to the
presence of Infatuated crowds which
surrounded his motor car.
"Fraulein Luxembourg" he said, twas
given two violent blows on the head
with the butts of rifles by he1meted
soldiers. She collapsed and when he
arrived at bridge the thought came
to US to throw her body into the
river"

CHINA TO DEMAND
WRITTEN PROMISE
FROM CONFERENCE
fBy Asaociated Press,

PARIS. Friday, May Sit seems
unlikely that the Chinese will sign the
treaty of peace unless she is given
written assurance by the council of
three that Japan viii return Kiao-
Chau to China. The Chinese delega-
tes say the clause In the treaty con-
tains no such provision, their only
basis for believing that such a resti-
tuition would be made being a verbal
agreement. Without definite writ
ten promise from the council of three,
they believe it impossible to gain per-
mission from the Chinese cabinet for
the signature of the treaty
Without such written promise, the
Chinese delegates hold their position
to be worse than under the Japanese
treaties which specifically pledged the
return of Kiac-Chau. The Chinese
contention is being watched with much
interest because 1t raises question
as to the actual status Of many yer.
bal agreements in the conferences of
the council of three which are not
known to be definitely in the written
proceedings.

Army Casualty System
Superior To French And
British, Say Officers
fBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. May 10-Analysis
OF French and British official reports
on the army casualty records during
the war is considered by officers here
as showing that the system built up
In the American expeditionary forces
and the war department compared
favorably to the achievement of the
other two powers.
The average time required to notify
relatives In the United States that a
soldier had been killed or seriously
wounded was 20 days. despite the
three thousand mile distance from
France and congested cables.
The French required from two to
four weeks with their army fighting on
French soil and did not attain that
speed until 1916 after many changes
OF method. The British with only the
channel separating them from the
fighting zone required five weeks in
which the average was not reached
until 1917 after three years of expert
ences. The American system was
working smoothly on the 20 day aver
age seven months after war was
declared.
