HUNS WOULD FIX
GUILT FOR WAR
Propose State Court to Try
Men Blamed for Origin,
lengthening and Loss.

BERLIN, Sunday. June s (by the
Associated Press)-The constitution
al convention has completed it's con-
sideration of bill creating a state
court which will try those accused of
starting. lengthening and losing the
war. 1t will be presented in the ma
tional assembly soon.
Tie measure provides for a COM
pelttee of fifteen members of the ma
tional assembly to investigate the po-
lltical and military leadership of the
country prior to and during the war,
and requires the government to pro-
duce any documents needed at the pro-
composed of fifteen members, includ-
Ing the presidents of the imperial,
military. Prussian, Bavarian and
Hanseatlc supreme courts. five mem
bers OF the national assembly and five
senators. The accused would be per
mitted to have counsel and would be
given the privilege Of testifying. De-
alterations of the court would be Sc
cret and there would be no appeal
from it's verdict.
THE people demand an explains ton
as to who is guilty for the war. why
1t was not ended earlier and whether
the baleful result could not have been
partly or wholly avoided" says a
statement which will accompany the
bill when it is presented to the ma
tional assembly. This is the task of
state court, although it can render
no final verdict. because it is unable
to see the archives of other countries
participating in the war. Neverthe-
less, Germany's desire to withhold
nothing from the rest of the world
and not to spare the guilty has caused
the government to apply for the Gre
alton Of an international investigation
commission, which was denied by it's
opponents. So this court should be
created to investigate whether Ger
mans have been guilty of conduct
against the fatherland"
The statement declares the court
should be above party politics and
responsible only to its conscience.

patch to the Mail. This action is in
consequence of the action of Germans

German cavalry under orders from
Gen. Won der GoltZ, commander of the
German forces in the Baltic region, it
is said, "unmasked the Germans as
accomplices of the bolsheviki."

YITHILE the amateur golf cham

upon an incident OF two that was

but had TO KEEP an eye ont for the

heavyweight has no right TO mingle
with tough guys like Fulton and

When Fulton offered 10 meet Beck

failure OF George Carpenter to ar

his dignity and announced that he
would not consider meeting any fight

Beckett said that the worlds cham

subterfuge worked at the time with
