FORMER EMPEROR
TO BE BRANDED
AS WORLD FIEND
Solemn Declaration of Ma
tions at Peace Board Will
Stamp Him Arch Criminal
By Associated Press

Paris, March lit will be the
fate of former Emperor William to
be branded for all time as an arch
criminal by the solemn declaration
of all the nations assembled at the
Peace Conference, to which even
his own country may be called upon
to subscribe in the peace terms, ac-
cording to the present plans of what
is believed to be q majority of the
commission on responsibility for the
war.
Report Ready Soon
The report of this commission will
be ready within a few days and the
indications are that the members are
harmonious on the main points.
There are likely to be differences,
however regarding subordinate Ger
man officials although at present a
majority of the commission is un-
derstood to hold that they can be
punished for orders given or acts
permitted by them in violation of the
national laws OF Germany or the
rules of war.
Such a rule would apply to the
officer who executed Captain Fryatt,
but not to the execution of Edith
Cavell who, it is pointed out, might
have been technically guilty of es-
pionage. No doubt is felt as to the
liability to punishment of German
officer taken prisoper of war and
found guilty of atrocities.

Paris, March 11.-Mili-
tary Germany will go out OF
existence as the result of
the adoption by the Supreme
Council last night of the mill
tary terms of German disarma-
ment as they will go into the
peace treaty. These terms pro-
vide for a sweeping reduction of
the German military establish
ment down to one hundred thousand
men, with four thousand officers, the
army to be recruited by the volun-
tary system for the period of twelve
years. The effect of this is to limit
Germany's military strength for the
next twelve years to one hundred
thousand men. which is fewer men
than Switzerland has in her army.
Other provisions IN the military
terms limit the arms and munitions
Germany may possess to u quantity
sufficient for one hundred thousand
men, and all the remainder must be
delivered over or destroyed. The
German forts along the Rhine also
must be destroyed. The imperial
general staff is abolished, as the re-
suit OF reducing the force.
Enliscmcnt For IL Years
Discussion of the subject was re-
sumed by the Supreme Council. the
basis for the debate being Marshal
Fochs report on Premier Lloyd
Georges proposal to reduce Ger
many's armed force from 100000, as
had been suggested, to 100000, and
to substitute voluntary for compul-
sary service. Marchal Foch favored
the change as the conscription plan
providing for 100000 men serving
one year terms would have given
Germany trained army of two mil
lion men in ten years.
AS against this, Mr.. Lloyd George
proposed to fix the enlistment term
at twelve years. Marshal Foch en-

Guiding tho bridge, one of the beau

General Snyder said he is glad to
contribute a share toward the erec-
tion of the bridge and the beautlti-
cation of Harrisburg. He said his
experience in public work is that it
should be substantial, beautiful and
beneficial. When the Board of Pub

erection of the bridge, he said, the
members called in the best thought
that could be procured to solve the
problems Get Griener for the

ed and when Mr.. Greiner and Mr..
Brunner were commissioned they
were instructed to give the State the
best that could be had in the world.
After several months of work, Mr..
Snyder said, they submitted what
they believed to be the best that
could be produced.
But" said the board, according
to Mr.. Snyder, couldn't you do a.

money, and they agreed that they
could.

POPE BENEDICT
BESPEAKS QUICK
PEACE WITH HUN
Vatican Head Points to Grave
Danger of Bolshevism
Germany

Paris March lit has become
known that Pope Benedict has ad-
dressed an appeal to the powers en-
phasizing the urgency of the speedy
conclusion of peace with Germany.
1t Is understood that the pontiff states
that the Vatican possesses reliable in
formation that the situation in Ger
many, socially and economically, is very
grave and that he fears the spread of
Bolshevism with such rapidity that 1t
might result in the establishment of a
Bolshevik state, which in turn might
become allied with Bolshevik Russia
The pope is reported to have said that
he feels the only way to avoid such an
eventuality is speedy peace---a peace.
he says which will not humiliate the
German people.
