What Oildag Is

Deflocculated graphite or OIL
DAG is manufactured from pure
graphite of extreme fineness un-
der the enormous temperature of
$500 Fahrenheit, all impurities
being vaporized, leaving absolute
ly pure graphite. 1t is the only
formation of graphite that will
remain in suspension in oil and
the application of OILDAG to
bearings forms a Graphoid sur
face that cannot be broken down.

ton Of courts martial during the war

tary Of War Baker has stated that the

coed with the work Immediately.

from all walks Of life administered mil
itary Justice during the war. Growder
stated and penalties fixed were au-
thorized by congress.

RY FRED 5. FERGUSON,

Paris, March 1.-THE preliminary
United Press Staff Correspondent
peace treaty. it was learned today,
probably will inc;ude a clause requir-
ing Germany to turn over all officials
found responsible for war crimes. tc be
tried by an international tribunal.
While the responsibilities commit
tee is not expected to complete its re-
port for several days, it is understood
a decision has practically been reached
in this regard.
Regarding the former kaiser, the
committee is expected to find that he
cannot be legally extradited, also that
1t will be difficult to determine his
personal responsibility for the crimes
charged against him. A suggestion
has been made, however, thai the Ger
mans themselves will try to obtain his
removal from Holland. If there is no
other alternative. 1t is understood an
international indictment will be pub
lshed, branding Wilhelm as the worlds
greatest criminal, his punishment being
limited to this historical document.
Oppose Austrian Union.
France n Italy, according to the
Gaulois, are fully In accord in oppos-
Ing theoretically the union of German
Austria with Germany.
Foreign Minister Pichon, OF France,
said today the union OF German
Austria and Germany cannot be
accomplished until 1t Is ratified by the
peace conference. This, he said was
doubtful.
Expect Quick Action.
The supreme economic commission il
expected to resume conferences with
the Germans at Brussels Immediately.
The new plan mapped out by the SUI
preme war council will. it is believed,
be readily accepted by the enemy.
This provides:
First-Partial removal Of the eco
nomic blockade. permitting Germany
to export such commodities as coal and
potash.
Second-Establishment of neutral
credits by Germany.
Third-Use of Germany's gold re-
serve, if money raised by other means
falls short of the amount needed.
This program constitutes no back
down by the allies, as it fits in COM

in the armistice during January. In

ment. merely made immediate allied
decision on details imperative.

In return for enactment of this pro-
gram, which will enable the Germans
to purchase enough food to last until
the next harvest is available in August,
the enemy will be required to turn
