NOT TO DECIDE
WHERE BLAME
FOR WAR RESTS
SPECIAL COMMISSION ON SUB
JECT OBSERVES SECRECY
ONLY OPINION OF EXPERTS
CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO
PRELIMINARY TREATY

Paris Feb. 24.-Thc present indi-
cations are that nothing regarding the
responsibility for the war, beyond a
declaration of general principles will
be included in the preliminary peace
treaty.
A special commission considering
the liability of either governments or
individuals to punishment has work
ed in great secrecy, and has heard
arguments on every side of the prob
lem from experts on international law
but it is gathered that the only re-
suit that can be expected in time for
incorporation in the peace treaty is
an expression of opinion on general
principles that may be applied to cas-
es so far considered.
