(Unite, 'ress Service,

WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
State Department. announces that
today at the plenary council of the
Peace Conference there was submit
ted measure to provide a special
court for trial and punishment of the
kaiser and Others responsible for the
war, including in the jurisdiction of
the tribunal thus created the power
to try and punish those guilty of
the horrible atrocities that have made
this war so hideous above all others.
The measure demands delivery to the
special tribunal of those included
within its jurisdiction.
The kaiser and all those brought
before the proposed tribunal for trial
will be permitted to select their own
counsel, and they will be tried in
strict adherence to the canons of in
ternational and moral law.
The measure demands also that
Germany must give the. Allies access
to all secrets of the German war Of
flee so responsibility can be fixed full
ly and completely.
Tie French delegates in the Peace
Conference have pushed the demand
for tn kaiser's trial despite the OPP
position of Japan and the apathy of
some of the other delegations.
To vercome opposition for a fair
trial has been inserted into the meas
ure, which has far reaching effects.
1t will permit punishment of subma-
rine commanders and perpetrators of
unspeakable crimes in France and
Belgium. 1t would force Germany
to give the Allies the records of her
elaborate espionage system and per-
nit apprehension and punishment of
the thousands of spies who operated
in the United States and other coun-
tries.

ANOTHER WAR SECRET Is

NEW YORK, June 21-- A, hollow ,hrce-inch shell, fused to emit on strik ing q gas of smoke-like density by day and luminous at night and used t1 transmit messages from division hcad' quarters, to advanced or exposed po- si,ions. k another wartime secrcC which has now been made public.
 This form of communication wa' first used by the Germans, and aftei- ward adopted by the Allies. A sampl" of the shell - one that was captured from the enemy during the St MihieI drive was brought home by Vice Admiral Albert Glcavcs on his return from France.
 According to Admiral Gleaves' the shell has a range of about 2OOO yards and is self propelling: Its velocity was such as to require IA seconds to trave. that distance, "Slow enough the ad' mnal said. it could be readily located by it's smoke cloud by day, or it's light by night, picked up, cap unscrewcd and the message inside delivered to the officer for whom it was intended.

spite the weight handicap he was un der Smith was made fayorite in th, betting.
 Whether Smith really deserved tn decision that was handed to him at the cud or twenty slow rounds 1i indifferent fighting, there iS reason to doubt. Many ringsidcrS declared tha, the big fellow had accomp'jshca most of the damage done and shou,l have had the verdict. In explaining his verdict the referee said that Smith had won because he had carried thc fight Co the big fellow during the ma iorty of the rounds and had forced Willard 70 hold on repeatedly to say" himself.
 There were many times diiug tho bout that Willard Sputcd for few seconds. and always Smith was knocked groggy. But the big rcl- low invariably stopped hitting in a few moments and allowed his oppon- cnt to recover.
 smith never could land hard enough to shake Willard, but he did cut the big fellows ear badly and also had him bleeding from the mouth. At tha, Smith was bv far the more badly bat tered at the close of the bout. One ot his eyes had been closed tight and h. was bleeding badly from the nose anl mouth. He also was tired and spent from his cxertions. but he had Splr. enough to start big rally in the finaf round. He had all the better of the gong in that period and Willard df' little except hold until the bell came to his relief.

ESCAPE
 WITHOUT SCAR

NEW YORK. June 27- AlthougI neither Jes, Willard nor his challen. e., Jack Dempsey, is Jim Corbet. for c.cycmcss, both have como through their battles in the ring with out scar. Dempsey ha, not suffcrel so much as d noscbIccd in his asst hal doz,n bouts. The chaIcngcrs ears are iu as perfect condition aS they wcry before hc ever donnod pair of gIov- cs, his nose is straight aud there k a ,ota, absence of amy mark that would .ndiouc tha, he is a fighting man.
 WHlarJs record in escaping --o shedding punishment is even more remarkable. The big fellow boasts that a.. never had a black eye, never Wal hnockcd down and never was groggt from the cCcec- of a blow.
 That would seem to indicate tha. Dempsey is going to have a hard time malmg any impression on the gian, cbampioN However it k strange t;,,, that ;Lc Eghtcst man Willarl ever fought punished him the most so lar a, cuts and bruSieS are concerned. Ina. was Gunboat Smith, who obtain, ,d a referees decision over Willard in 1913.
 The battle was held in San Fran cisco. At that time the white hope situation had Simmercd down so that only Willard, Smith and Luther Me Carty remained. Willard had elimin- ated Carl Morris and had put a Se- riouS dent in McCarty'S reputation while Smith had earned quite a repu- tation for himself by flattening . number of third ratcrS with his crash ing right-hand swings; so that the meeting between the two was practic- ally to decide the question of which was to face Johnson for the title.
 Willard Was Gawky.
 In those days Willard was a lean, gawky giant. He had not filled out as he did after winning the title, and ha scaled only about 23O. Smith, for his part, was shade under 1SO pounds. Willard had been seen in action on the far coast on several occasions and he had not impressed the native sons very favorably. Smith had served his early apprenticeship with the gloves in Cal ifornia and he had failed to accomp-
 fish anything worth while yet, dc
