SP0lLS cHILDREN'S CLOTHES
Man Finds II Expensive to Throw Out
Oishwater.

Heaving a pan of greasy dishwater
ont of the back door seems like an In
nocent and lnconspicuous act, but this
did not prove the case for Peter Ala
naris OF Bath. Me-, who has just paid
1851 rather than spend 60 days In
jail, per the sentence accorded to him
by Judge Keegan.
Peter had washed some dishes and
was in the act OF dumping the water
and some refuse out of the back door
of a Washington street restaurant
when along came two kindergarten
children, five and thirteen years old,
whose best clothes were spoiled.
The dishwater spread itself over
their ginghams and muslins, their
pretty little hats and all their rib
bons. 1t broke their hearts and made
their folks "mad." Peter paid the fine
and costs and went home to ponder
his dishpan luck.

H0LLWEG OFFER REJECTED
Law Experts Say the Former German
Chancellor Can Not Assume
Liability.

Washington. international ex-
perts of the entente embassies in
Washington hold that since DR.. Theo-
bald Won Bethmann-Hollweg in his
capacity of chancellor of the German
empire, was responsible solely to the
former German emperor, the one time
ruler of Germany can not escape full
responsibility for any and all the acts
committed by his subordinates.
State department officials expressed
no opinion for publication as to the
plea set up by the former chancellor
that he be substituted for William
Hohenzollern in the indictment and
trial which, under the terms OF the
treaty, must be had of guilty German
officials 1t is known, however, that
Secretary Lansing, as head of the
peace conference commission on re-
sponsibility. has contended from the
first that the German emperor could
not be held to personal accountability.

LACK OF UNITY CAUSED LOSS
Maj. Gen. GoethaIs Tells Committee
Department Heads
SquabbIed.

Washington.-Maj. Gen. George w
Goethals, former chief of the War De
partment bureau of purchase, storage
and traffic, told the special house war
investigating committee that lack of
unity and cooperation between de.
partmental bureaus resulted in unnec-
essary expense and delay in obtaining
supplies needed for the prosecution
of the war.
Gen. Goethals said that when he
was placed in charge of the quarter
master corps in December, 1917, he
recommended to the secretary of war
that minister of munitions be ap-
pointed TO control all purchases, but
the secretary disapproved the plan.
Gen. Goethals said he then recon-
mended consolidation of purchasing
through the creation of a central bu-
reau, but that other bureau chiefs
opposed the plan because it would rob
them of authority. 1t was put in OBJ
GRAFTON, however, when Gen. March
became chief of staff.
Gen. Goethals expressed vigorous
opposition to the cost plus" contract
system and also to the policy of al
lowing men interested in an industry
to fix prices at which contracts were
made.
