 The commission will give notice, the letter adds, that any similar incidents in the future will cause Inter-Allied military occupation Of the localities where such incidents arise under the terms of the Austrian armistice, and that such action will not exclude the taking of any more severe measures the commission might deem to be warranted.

 Theodore N. Vail presented, in the form of a diagram, an argument for an increase in telephone rates. The diagram shows the rise in commodity costs and wages while rates have re- mained almost stationary. Relative Iy to the price of commodities in gem era1, the rates have decreased 30 per cent, 1t is pointed out.
 About 12 per cent. increase in rates is needed" says MT. Wall, which appears almost negligible when compared with advances i-. the cost of living throughout the coun- try"

CLAIM KAISER
 WAR AUTHOR
Wished It and Conducted It Himself In All Its
 Barbarity.

London, March 1O-"There is no doubt that the former German em- peror was the first and responsible author of the war. He absolutely wished for it and conducted it himself in all it's ruthlessness and barbarity." This is a statement attributed to the Prince of Monaco by the Mails Paris correspondent, who interviewed the prince there. The correspondent re- calls that the Prince of MOnaca was formerly a personal friend of Elm peror William but that friendship was severed by the prince in a telegram sent to the former emperor in Sep- Iember, 1914.
 Until a few years before the war. '' the prince is quoted as saying, the German emperor seemed to sincerely wish peace. But q terrible megalo- mania was growing in him. He was anxious to see Germany over all and from the day he felt it impossible to attain this end by peaceful means war became an Cbession with him"

Twenty billion for actual physical war destruction and the balance for thefts. unpaid for acquisitions, seiz- ures and the like. This is the larg est figure claimed by any beIligerent with the exception of France.
 There Is one thing, however, of greater immediate importance and absolutely vital to Belgium than pre- sentinG it's indemnity bill" said one of the Belgian delegation to the cor respondent this afternoon. That question is priority for Belgium s claim on the first installment paid by Germany. If this cannot be guaran- teed, then an inter-Allied loan must be made to Belgium immediately.

WILL ASK FOR WITHDRAWAL 0F
 JUDGE WILDER

Hartford, March 1O-The Commit tee on Judiciary has a problem in con- nection with the Bridgeport city court judgeship.
 When judicial nominations for Bridgeport first came under the con- sideration of the committee the Re publican members of the delegation, obeying it is supposed orders from higher up, advocated the choice of former Lieutenant-Comma A. L. Merritt, and the committee. it is said, took this view.
 Afterward there was a change of sentiment and the Bridgeport delega- ton, Republican portion of it, favor ed the retention of Deputy Judge Frank L. Wilder. The judiciary com 4nittee is reluctant to make a change, its position having been once taken.
 It was said in the corridors today that an effort will be made to get Judge Wilder to withdraw from the contest in the interest of permitting recognition of a man who has seen service.

DEBS SENTENCE
 IS SUSTAINED
Socialist Leader Must Serve
 Sentence of Ten Years in Prison.

Washington, March 1o.-The Su. pre1ne court today sustained the con- victton of Tugene V. Debs, Socialist leader found guilty of violating the espionage act through statements made in a speech at Canton, O., last June, and sentenced to 10 years inn prisonment
 In deciding the case the court in ef- feet upheld the constitutionality of tho o-called enlistment section of the espionage act of 1917.
 The opinion of the court was unani- nous.
 As in the case of the espionage cases decided last Monday. the Supreme court in it's opinion again today made no specific ruling upon the constttu- ttonality of the espionage act. The court based it's opinion largely upon that part of the indictment in charg- ing obstruction of recruiting service, which was unanimously affirmed.
