Richardson, the new commander OF
the American forces in North Russia,
has reported the military situation sat.
tsfactory in his first official dispatch
since landing on the Murmansk coast,
The message, sent to Gen. PershiEg
and relayed by him to the War De.

2 weeks after the mptinous conduct OF

FAvoRs TRYING INDIVIDUALS
Especially the officer Who Ordered
LouvaIn sacked--"6eIuium Seeks
Only Justice, Not Revenge"
Declares Peace Delegate.

Paris.-The Belgian delegation to
the peace conference informed the cor
respondent that Belgium had not been
officially requested by the council Of
four to bring the former German en-
peror to trial and that the Belgian gov
ernment would feel obliged to take the
step, even if there were any request
for such action. The Belgian delegates
hold that any acton should be taken
by q commission representing all the
associated powers. The official Bel
gian view, 1t was said. is that the for.
mer emperor cannot be arraigned for
declaring war or violating the neutral
ity of Belgium, or for any act preced-
ing or coincident with the declaration
of war.
After pointing out that there is no
tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former emperor,
and no provision of international law
covering such cases, the delegates said
that Belgium expects that persons
guilty of acts punishable under the
criminal codes of any Of the billigerent
powers should be placed on trial, an
the fact that theft, murder and other
crimes were committed during war
does not relieve the criminals of re-
sponsibility.
IF the commission desires to ar
raign Gen. Baron Won Mantueffel for
the sacking Of Louvain, Gen von
Schroeder for the murder of Capt.
Fryatt, and Gen. Won Sauberzweig for
the execution OF Miss Edith Cavell all
the necessary documents will be forth
coming" said the general secretary OF
the delegation. But Belgium does not
seek revenge It wants only justice. 1t
would be small satisfaction to lock up
the kaiser for few months in the
Saint Gill prison, and those who have
reported that such revenge has been
offered Belgium as solace for her
wrongs have sadly misunderstood the
Belgian character If they thought 1t
would be acceptable.
''The only case in which the person.
al responsibility of the ex-emperor for
a criminal act committed in Belgium
could be established beyond doubt ID
in the atrocities attending the depor.
tation of civilians and compelling them
to do forced labor in Germany. In this
case his responsibility is uncues-
toned"

For China Collectors.

It is well to keep china collection
of one kind or period together, If pos

enhanced; indeed, the same thing ap-
plies to most collections. When the

not overabundant. there is good deal
to be said for the plan of putting some
things away for time and bringing
others out in their place. Collectors
