BRITISH PREMIER
SAYSKAISER WILL
GET FAIR TRIAL
Replies to Criticism That Many
Do Not Wish Former En-
peror Tried in London.

London, July 2l.-(By the Asso-
GATED Press. )-Premier Lloyd
George replied to his critics in the
debate in the house of commons on
the second reading of the German
peace treaty and the Anglo French
convention. His recent announce
ment that the former German en-
peror would be tried before a tri-
bunal in London had created much
discussion. and several members, in
cluding Lord Robert Cecil, ex-
pressed doubts as to the advisability
of the trial being held in London.
The selection of a neutral country
for this purpose, it has been con-
tended, would have been better.
The premier in answer to this
said:
What right have we to assume
that any neutral country could de-
sire to be the scene of such trial?
The allies have sufficient confidence
in this country that whoever comes
here for trial will receive a trial
equal to the highest of the British
nation and there are none higher in
the world.
If war is to be abolished it must
be treated not as an honorable
game with the prospect of personal
glory, but as a crime. That is why
we decided that the author of this
war should be tried"
Another matter of extreme i'm
portance which came up for dis
cussiou was the Irish question and
to this the premier devoted con-
siderable time with numerous inter
iections by Joseph Devlin. national
ist for Falls division of Belfast.
Sir Samuel Hoare, unionist for
Chelsea. warned the government
that some of the unionists con-
sidered the settlement of the Irish
difficulty just as urgent as did the
Irish members.

law ito cover their beautiful limbs? ?"
he asked.
"What's the difference, l ask you,
between woman's foot and mans
foot? Do not the authorities OF
Atlantic City yet know they cannot
make people moral by law; that
only education can do that? Why, |
ask further. why not make men
wear stockings upon legs that are
not beautiful and put all horses in
trousers?

WOMEN PROTEST
AGAINST BEAUTY
CONTEST HERE
Isn't it a Scream in This Day ?
Declare Women Who
Do Things.

With the greatest problems the
world has ever known yet unsolved,
two or three eastern newspapers
have started beauty contests in
which women, who were considered
good looking, were" entered with
and without their permsslon) as
eligible prize winners. In each in
stance this feature has brought a
storm of protest from the majority
of women, who contend that since
the war has taken women away from
the "nothings and the froth of lite, y
it is hampering progress to foster
such a foolish movement.
Despite this protest from think
ing women of other cities, an Oma-
ha newspaper has started similar
contest which also has brought
forth volley of opinions from,
leading Omaha women.
Be Patient With Them.
Mrs. Draper Smith has this to
say: The war has done great
things for women-for most women
but there are a few who have
been approached from every angle
women upon whom the fairest OF
eloquence has been used with view
to interesting them in bigger things
than beauty contests and their own
personal appearance Ito the exclu-
sion of everything else) but to no
avail. Their interest could not be
aroused. What they pass over in
the worlds great events is meat for
the progressive mind But these
women will always be with It's
these women who would rather be
in a beauty contest or at pink tea
than to do their bit for world peace.
We should be patient with them"
Isn't 1t a Scream.
Another woman who stands for
things artistic, scientific and prog
ressive is Mrs. George Prinz. She
says: Isn't it a scream? While
the greatest history the world has
ever known is in its making isn't
it strange that women should have
either time or inclination to put up
their physical charm as target of
criticism? OF course, though, most
women wouldn't consider such a
thing for minute. Discussions are
of so much greater importance in

PRESIDENT ILL
AND CONFINED
ALL DAY TO BED
Wilson in Weakened But Not
Serious Condition as Re-
suit of Dysentery.

Washington, July 2l,-PresiGent
Wilson was in a weakened but no
wise serious condition Monday
night after having spent Monday
bed with acute dysentery. Rear Al
miral Cary 7. Grayson, his physi-
clan, said the president had been in
considerable pain during the day
and had been very uncomfortable" "
Admiral Grayson said he would III
sist that Mr.. Wilson remain until
he had completely recovered.
= The presidents appointments for
Tuesday with republican sena 'ors
have not been postponed but at the
White House it was considered
doubtful whether Mr.. Wilson would
be able to keep them.
While none of those close to the
president would say whether his
illness would result in postpone
ment of his trip through the west,
there seemed to be an opinion that
should the illness be prolonged it
could have no other effect. Rear
Admiral Grayson was uncertain
when the president might be able
to resume his duties.
The president first complained of
feeling i'll Friday when he went
to the capitol to confer with Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
democratic member of the foreign
relations committee. He told Secre-
tary Tumulty then he was slightly
indisposed and expressed his inten-
ton of going down the Potomac
over the week end in the belief that
a change of air might be beneficial,
During the trip, however, the
weather was stormy and damp and
Mr.. Wilson appears to have con-
tracted a slight cold.
When he returned from the trip
he was feeling worse and immedi-
ately upon arriving at the White
House Rear Admiral Grayson
diagnosed his ailment as acute
dysentery and ordered him to bed.
All appointments were Cancelled
and those who were to have called
were asked to postpone their visits
until Tuesday.

Chicago, July 2l.-Ten persons
were killed and 25 injured when a
large drigible, on its test flight,
caught fire and fell 500 feet, crash
ing through the glass roof of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank,
Jackson boulevard and La Sale
street at 5 o'clock Monday after
noon.
Most of the dead were employees
of the bank, trapped and burned to
death in fire caused by the explo-
sion of the balloons gasoline tanks
as they hit the floor of the bank
room, where more than 200 book
keepers and clerks, nearly all girls,
were working.
The list of dead follows:
JOHN WEAVER, assistant me-
chanic, Akron, Ohio.
CARL OTTO, assistant mechanic,
Akron, Ohio.
JAMES CARPENTER, bank
messenger.
MARIA FLORENCE.
EDWARD A. MUNZER.
JOSEPH SCANLAN, bank mes

EVELYN MEYERS, bank EN-
ploye.
EARL H. DAVENPORT, pub
licity man.
Two unidentified women.
All of the dead except Weaver
an,., Otto are residents of Chi
cago.
The balloon, owned by the Good
year Tire and Rubber company OF
Akron, O., had been flying above
the city for several hours when the
accident occurred.
When approximately 500 feet
above the bank, a squirt of flame
was seen to shoot from the top of
the gas bag near the center of the
aircraft. The crowds gathered on
the streets to watch the flight saw
the machine buckle and culver as it
started on its fatal plunge.
Four Occupants Jump.
Four of its five occupants jumped,
and two landed safely in the streets
as the blimp, balloon flame,
struck the roof of the bank with a
crash audible throughout the down
town district.
There was nothing to warn the
hundreds of employees of the institu-
ton of the coming tragedy. A
shadow passed over the marble ro-
tunda where $50 were busy and a
crash audible, throughout the down
ing hour for patrons had passed,
but the clerks were still at work in
various departments.
1t seemed, according to the sur
vivors, that the entire bank was on
fire. Breaking through the iron
supports holding the glass over
head, the fusilage of the balloon,
with two heavy rotary engines and
several gasoline tanks, smashed to
the floor.
INSTANTLY the tanks exploded, scat
terlng a wave OF flaming gasoilne
over the workers for radius of
fifty feet. A panic ensued. There
were only two exits through which
they could leave the wire cage which
surrounded the rotunda.

Men and girls with clothing flam-

exits. Girls on the second floor ran
screaming to the window and sew
