VIOLATION OF ARMISTTCE

1 The sinking of these ships, instead of | their preservation, as had been provided
 and in breach of the undertaking em- | bodied in article 31 of the armistice
 against all acts of destruction, copsti-
 tuted at once violation of the armistice. i the destruction & the pledge handed ] over, and an act of gross bad faith to-
 ward the Allied and Associated Powers 1 The Admiral in command of the care
 and maintenance parties Sbelonging to | the German naval forces has while re- | cognizing that the action was a breach i of the armistice. attempted to justify it | by alleging his belief that the armistice 1 had come to an end.
 This alleged Justification is not we'll l founded as under the communication ad- | dressed to the German delegation by the | Allied and Associated Powers on the six | teenth of June, 1919. the arinistice would only terminate refusal to sign the | peace treaty. or if no answer were re- | turned on the 23rd of June at o'clock. According to international law, as em- | bodied particularly in articles 40 and fl of the regulations annexed to the fourth Hague convention of 1907, every serious violation of the armistce by one of the parties gives the other party the right to denounce it and even in case of urgency to recommence hostilities at once "A violation of the terms of the armi- stice by individuls, acting on their own
 initiative, only confers the right of re-
 manding the punishment of these of-
 lenders, indemnity for the losses sus-
 tained. It will, therefore. be open to the Allied and Associated Powers to bring before military tribunal the per sons responsible for these acts of des- truction, so the appropriate penalties may be imposed. Furthermore, the incl dent gives the Allied and Associated Powers right to reparation for the loss caused and in consequence a right to proceed to such further measures as the said powers may deem appropriate
 NOT ONLY VIOLATION
 Lastly the sinking of the German fleet is not only violation of the armi- stice, but can only be regarded by the Allied and Associated Powers as a delib- crate breach in advance of the condi- tons communicated to Germany and now accepted by her. Furthermore. the in- cident is not an isolated act. The burn ing or permission for the burning of the French flags which Germany was to re- store. constitutes another deliberate breach in advance of these same condi- tions.
 Tn consequence the Allied and Asso- ciated Powers declare they take none of of these signal acts of bad faith and

that when the investigations have been completed into all the circumstances, they will exact the necessary repara- tion. It is evident that any repetition of acts like those, must have very un- fortunate effect upon the future opera tion of the treaty, which the Germans are about to sign.
 They have made complaint of the fifteen years period of occupation which the treaty contemplates. They have made complaint that admission to the league of nations may be too long deferred. Now can Germany put forward such claims if she encouraged, or permits de- liberate violations of her written en- gagements? She cannot complain should the allies use the full powers conferred on them by the treaty, particularly ar ticle 529, if she on her side deliberately violates it's provisions.

 NOT TAKEN TO JAIL Hartfield was not taken to jail, a though earlier reports were that he Lad been lodged there. From the doctor s office he was taken to the street and faced the crowd.
 You have the right man. he reiter- ated Then a moose found it's way around his neck and the trip to the big gum tree was started, the crowd still ominous- Ny silent.
 Under the big gum tree Hartfield for cibly detained his victim all of the night of Sunday, June 15 It was under a limb of the same gum tree that Hart field was hanged as soon as the rope could be pulled up by hundreds of hands. Then occurred the first demonstration. While the body was in it's death strug- gles, pistols were produced by men in the crowd and fired point blank at the swinging form. Before the rope had been cut by bullets, burning fagots were thrown under the body and an hour later there was only pile of ashes. The victim with her aged mother wit messed the execution. When she reached her home, 200 yards away, she was in formed that more than a thousand dol lars had been subscribed for her use by persons in the crowd. No arrests were made after the lynching and tonight the little town was quiet. Most of the vis- tors from the surrounding country left for their homes
 GOVERNOR POWERLESS Petitions to Governor Bilbo to prevent the threatened lynching brought reply from that executive to the effect that he~was utterly powerless," as the state had no troops. "F'urthermore, the governor was quoted as saying. "excitement is at such a high pitch through south Mississippi that any armed attempt to interfere with the mob would doubtless result in the death of hundreds of persons. The ne- gro has confessed, says he is ready to die and nobody can keep the inevitable from happening
 Hartfield's capture was accomplished largely through the work of the famous Can't bloodhounds brought yesterday from Crystal Springs. A boy, asked by the negro to purchase food at a Collins store, informed the authorities and the dogs were taken to the place where he was last seen. The trail led to a school house at Hot Coffee, near Collins. Hart field was inside and immediately upon sighting the posse opened fire. His bull lets went wild, but Walter Crawley and Will Rodgers, farmers, managed to get close enough to fire two loads of buck shot through window, striking Hart field in the breast He surrendered and was taken in charge by the posse.
 Rigid examination, according to the authorities, showed that Hartfield had little or no help during his flight
 Constant rains which wiped out his trail prolonged the chase.

TEXT OF LETTER

The text of the letter sent today to the German peace delegations is as follows.
 June 15, 1919
 Mir. President: The terms of the armistice signed by Germany on the lltn of November. 1918, provided as follows:
 Article 23. The German surface war ships which shall be specified by the allies and the United States shall forth with be disarmed, and thereafter informed in neutral ports, or failing this, then in the allied ports designated by the allies and the United States. They shall there remain under supervision by the allies and the United States, only care and maintenance parties being left on board
 'On June 21 the German warships which had been handed over to the allies and associated powers, at anchor in the roadstead at Scapa Flow, with the Ger man care and maintenance parties on board as provided in the armistice, were sunk by the parties under the orders of the German admiral in command, ac- cording to the information which has been collected and transmitted by the British admiralty. The German admiral in command of these parties of the Ger man naval forces, has alleged that he acted in the belief that the armistice expired on June 21 at midday and &,on- sequently in his opinion the destruction in question was no violation of it's terms
 In law, Germany by signing the terms of Article 23, set out above entered into an undertaking that the ships handed over by her, should remain in the ports indicated by the allied and associated powers, and that care and maintenance parties should be left on board witk such instructions and under such Orders as would ensure that the armistice should be

failure to score after an early start
against Brown. The coaches also were
pleased with the all round interference.
The ends and backs came through so
well yesterday that. although Ralph

team hardly will be handicapped. Fred

his ability to kick IL going to furnish
Eddie Casey with a task to pick up his
position again on hand.
A. Norween, who has been slow COM
ing round to form, burst into some driv-
ing spectacular play yesterday, which In
all probability will keep him in the first
string backfield. After the Brown game
Capt. Murray's condition was a matter
for much speculation, but Harvard g

Harvard Is not likely 10 have any
thing very radically different In n way

probability be the Crimson's plan OF
