Hundreds Face Punishment for
War, Though Kaiser Is
Likely to Escape.
GOVERNORS TO SUFFER
Considered Impossible To Visit Direct
Reprisal on Wilhelm, Won Hinden-
burg or Ludendorff Though
Lesser Lights Must Pay.

Paris, March 4.-The greatest
grand jury indictment the world has
ever seen soon will be returned. .
The commission investigating the
responsibility for crimes committed
during the war is expected to submit
its report In few days. The true bill
will contain hundreds of names. rang
ing from lieutenants to officers OF the
highest rank. Against each will be
charged I'm detail the crimes he is al
legged to have committed against hu-
manity
IL the present purpose of the COM
mission remains unchanged, the name
of Wilhelm Hohenzollern will lead all
the rest.
AT the same time 1t has been prac-
tically concluded that it will be i'm
possible to visit direct punishment on
the former kaiser Men like General
Ludendorff and Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg are likely to escape for the
same reason-although 1t is possible
to establish their responsibility as the
men higher up, 1t is impossible to dis
regard the fact that all their acts can
be defended on the ground that they
were carrying out the policies of the
state.
Military Governors to Suffer.
The highest ranked officials deemed
certain of punishment are the former
military governors of various cities
and districts who had arbitrary au-
thority over the lives OF enemy citi-
zens and who abused their powers or
allowed subordinates to do SO.
These, of which there are hundreds,
will be tried before an international
tribunal, which the commission will
recommend to be formed under the
sanction of the League OF Natiors.
This tribunal is expected to sit for the
next several years, hearing evidence
in individual cases, passing judgment
and fixing penalties as each case is
completed.
Prosecuting Committee Planned.
A permanent prosecuting committee
Is also planned. In just what man
ner warrants will be served and ar
rests made has not been determined.
When the commissions list Is turned
over to the peace conference, 1t is ex;
pected It will be kept secret until as
many as possible are arrested. Later,
the names and pictures Of those not
found will be furnished to the rogues'
galleries in all countries. The com.
missioners are confident that prac-
tically all the accused will be rounded
up eventually and be compelled to
face the tribunal. Some arrests al
ready have been made, notably a mum
ber of Turkish officers. who are being
held under the court, and are ready
to hear their cases.

Peace Council Considers Condi.
tons To Be Imposed on
Germany BY Allies.
120 MILLION INDEMNITY
Surrender of 100 More Warships Sale
To Be Required-Safeguar
OF Monroe Doctrine Suggested
As Amendment.

Paris, March 4.-The peace con-
ference committee on reparations
has estimated that $120,0oo,0o0,.
600 is the amount which the
enemy countries ought to pay the
allied and associated powers,
says Havas agency statement.
France, the statement adds, de-
mands immediate payment by the
enemy of $4,000, 900, 900, part in
gold, part in materials and part
in foreign securities, recommend
ing that the remainder of the
amount be payable in a period of
from rs to 35 years.
Paris, March 4-The supreme war
council has taken up the terms of
peace to be imposed on Germany At
the same time it discussed conditions
under which the economic blockade of
that country will be partially raised.
Modification of the blockade will, it
is understood, be ready to put into ef-
feet Immediately after the return to
Paris of President Wilson, Premier
Lloyd George and Premier Victoriano
Orlando. The separate peace terms
probably will be completed by the first
of next month, after which details of
the treaties with Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey will be discussed

from authoritative sources.
Marshal Ferdinand Foch's report,
submitted Saturday, was said to in
clude destruction of all German war
materials with the exception of arms
for few divisions, which will be left
for police duty. The Allies also
will be given supervision over all Ger
man munition factories.
100 More Ships to BE Surrendered.
The naval conditions were said to
include surrender to the Allies of
man navy.
The units to be turned over will be
the battleships Oldenburg, Thuringen,
Ostfriesland, Helgoland, Posen, West

cruisers Pillau, Graudenz, Regensburg,

League Amendments Suggested.
1t Is thought the peace conference
may consider amendments to the
League of Nations plan, such as may
be regarded in America as necessary
to remove the ambiguity of clauses
that might affect the Monroe doctrine,
the right of secession from the league
and the methods of using force against
recalcitrant nations. The American
delegates are awaiting the return of
the president before defining their at
titude.

General Gregory has recommended to
President Wilson Communication of the

ENFORCEMENT LAW HELD UP
Congress Takes No Action On Mea-
sure to Handle Prohibition.

Washington, March Agreement
has been reached by the senate judi
ciary committee to take no action on
legislation to enforce wartime prohi-
bition which becomes effective July 1.
The committee decided there was no
chance for passage Of the pending bill
at this session.
Penalties for violation of the law are
carried by the prohibition act itself.
Prohibition leaders contend that addi-
tional and more specific legislation is
needed to insure proper enforcement.
although the absence Of 1t will not pre-
vent nationwide prohibition from be-
coming effective. They plan to bring
in the bill now abandoned again as
soon as congress is called into extra
session.
