Packard Motor Car
Co, Wants Men Here

The Packard Motor Car Company
makes the important announcement
that Its interests in this territory will
be looked after by the Packard Motor
Car Co.. OF Baltimore. TITS organiza-
tton has handled the Packard Cars in

THE TRIAL OF THE KAISER.

X/ASHINGTON dispatches yesterday said that the
w State departments announcement that a special
court for the al of the former kaiser was 10 be created
received there with general surprise because Secretary
Lansing, who chairman of the commission on the re
sponsbiy for the war. had steadfast opposed any eo
to bring William to trial before an International trbuna
on the ground that it would be contrary to the Constitution
Of the United States for its Representatives to participate in
such movement 1t may be taken for granted therefore
that the trial of the kaiser determined upon in Difference
to public opinion in France and Great Britain.
How the experiment in International jurisprudence j.
going OF work out the world will be in better position to
guess when the government Of The Netherlands is heard
from. If the Dutch refuse to give up their distinguished
refugee the proposed special tribunal may be reduced 10
the necessity Of going ahead with the trial in the absence
Of the culpnt which would be rather ridiculous
There are no such legal difficulties regarding the trial
by military tribunals Of the persons accused Of violation:
Of the laws and the customs of war. All civilization wa:
hor6ed at of the things that followed in the wake
Of the German vanguard during the first rush toward PAR.
in 1914, and the British particularly have been making
careful preparations for the trial and proper punishment Of
who actually guilty and the officers who either
directly ordered the outrages countenanced them
rary to the laws and customs Of war.
For many years the civilized nations worked to make
war more humanitarian. The world at large does not vel
know how about. but does know that when hos
Titles began war by some sinister coincidence reverted all
along the German front to savagcry. The world wants
such an example made Of the individual culpnts as will
ring down the ages.

On April 20. 1859. the large iron rail.
road bridge across the Monongahela
river above Fairmont was blown down
with powder by the Confederation.
The first blast of three kegs Of powder
placed under a pier failed to move it
and the Confederates proceeded to
burn the wood work. considering it
impossible to destroy the iron struc-
ture. But. after several hours of .ln.
derminiag, a charge of powder finally
threw the bridge into the river. Colo
mel Mulligan, who had been In Bar

the Confederates under Jones when so
employed. He saw that he could not
save the bridge and considering dis.
erection the better part OF valor fell
