Germans Exhibited
American Prisoners

COBLENZ, March 11-How it feels
to be exhibited in Germany will be
told when Joseph Brown and Charles
Knowlton, both of the 165th Infantry,
get back to New York where they
lived before the war.
Both have rejoined their regiment
after Imprisonment in Germany since
May when a patrol they were in
went out in search of Germans who
were needed for the information they
might give. The patrol got the Ger
mans but the German army got Brown
and Knowlton and until few days
ago the 165th Infantry knew nothing
more about them. Both had come
through the German lines after the
armistice.
After the German intelligence officer
had despaired of getting from them
any accurate information about the
Americans both men were sent on a
tour of Germany. In city after city
they were exhibited as specimens of
the new enemy. To make them appear
as excellent examples of the weaklings
the Germans had told their people the
Americans were, they said they were
half starved and otherwise brutally
treated for a month or more when
they were thrown into an ordinary
prison camp, remaining there until
the end of the war.

COUNCIL TO BRAND
WILHELM CRIMINAL

PARIS. Monday. March lot will
be the fate of former Emperor Will
liam to be branded for all time as an
arch criminal by the solemn declara
ton of all the nations assembled at
the peace conference, to which even
his own country may be called upon
to subscribe in the peace terms, ac-
cording to the present plans of what
is believed to be a majority of the
commission on responsibility for the
war.
The report of this commission will
be ready within a few days, and the
indications are that the members are
harmonious on the main points.
There are likely to be differences,
however, regarding subordinate Ger
man officials, although at present a
majority of the commission is under
stood to hold that they can be pun
ished for orders given or acts per-
mitted by them in violation of the ma
tional laws of Germany or the rules OF
war. Such a rule would apply to the
officer who executed Captain Fryatt.
but not to the executioner of Edith
Cavell. who it is pointed out. might
have been. technically guilty of es-
pionage. No doubt is felt as to the
liability to punishment Of German
officer taken prisoner of war and
found guilty Of atrocities.

Nebraska Women Will
Vote for First Time

LINCOLN, Neb., March 11.-Thous-
ands of Nebraska women for the first
time will use their partial voting
rights granted by the 1917 legislature
at the city elections next month. The
attorney generals office is so advis-
ing city officials in order to remove
doubt as to the effectiveness of the
suffrage act, which permits voting for
all but constitutional offices.
Anti-suffragists appealed to the
state supreme court after the district
court had granted suffragists perma-
nent injunction restraining submits
sion Of the law to a referendum.
The attorney generals office holds
that the act, suspended while the in
junction suit was pending, again be-
came operative when the permanent
injunction was granted The appeal,
it was held, has not nullified the acts
effectiveness. The suffragists based
their argument against referendum
on the contention that the anti-suffra-
gists' petition for submission of the
question, cantained signatures that
werenot genuine.
The appeal may not come before
the supreme court before 1920 and
some state officials say the case may
be allowed to die a natural death.

PEACE: TREATY TO
Be COMPLETED BY
MARCH 20, BELIEF
(By Associated Press)

PARIS. March IL The progress
that has been made with the work OF
framing the peace treaty ensures the
completion of the task by March ~.
The first rough draft will be IN
readiness when President Wilson ar
rives in France Thursday, and the re-
vision will be concluded before the
twentieth. 1t is the present purpose OF
the peace conferees to call the Ger
mans to Versailles soon after March
20, probably from March % to March
20. The document then will be deliv-
cred to the German delegates and in
case they are not prepared to sign
il at once they will be given the OPP
portunity to return to Germany to con-
slider it and return for the formal
signing at Versailles.
This plan obviates the necessity OF
holding sessions for debate at YER
sailles and restricts the functions to
be conducted with the Germans to
the delivery of the document and their
return for it's signature or such other
action as they desire to take.
1t is known definitely that Count
Won Bernstorff, former German am
bassador to the United States will not
be one of the German delegates at
Versailles

COBLENZ, March 1.-Thousands
of unused German uniforms that were
found in the storehouses have been
delivered to the local authorities by
American army officials for CONVEX

poorer residents of the city.
Both boys and girls now appear on
the streets in new clothes, some of
which have been disguised by dyes.
The women, too, have availed them
selves of the opportunity to get warm
war coats. They have scorned, how
ever, the camouflage of the dye man
and it is now common sight to see

War Prisoners Mail Was
Carried Free by Swiss

BERNIE, March 1.-THE Swiss fed
eral mails have carried gratuitously,
during the war over $50, 100000 letters,
100000 parcels and 150.OOO,OO0
francs in money orders for the pris-
oners of war; and 12,500,000 Kilograms
(220 pounds) of bread destined for
the prisoner camps in Germany and
Austria. The postage on all this mat
ter would have aggregated over 3d.
100000 francs.
Since January 1, of this year, the
Federal authorities have been in re-
ceipt of small compensation from
Great Britain, France, Germany and
Austria, amounting to about 100000
francs. for postal parcels, but this sum.
it is declared, hardly covers the cost
of handling this traffic.

Many beautiful roses such as the
Columbia, Rose Premier, Richmond
rose, Rhea Reid and other varieties
have originated and are grown in
Richmond. They are known all over
the United States and yet very few
people know that these beautiful flow
ers are the results of the efforts and
aims of E. Quincy Hill, prominent
Richmond florist.
Mr.. Hills father, Joseph Hill, was
florist and he learned all about flow
ers when young boy. His one aim
and purpose was to get forcing rose
that would also be profitable.
The first Hill greenhouse was built
on Main street which is now resi-
dence part, between Twentieth and
Twenty-first streets. For about eight
years this ground was occupied. The
business then out-grew the space and
1t became necessary to get more.
The greenhouse was then moved
east of Glen Miller park which is now
the Lemon greenhouse. After a time
this house was too small and it was
impossible to buy ground on either
side. In 1906 the present buildings on
EaSthaven avenue were built, and
since that time several new buildings
have been built. The Hill greenhouse
made it possible to have the Pennsyl-
vania siding which is north of the
greenhouse.
Mr.. Hill cultivated American roses
He has travelled abroad many times in
order to buy European flowers in or
der to get strain that would make a
profitable rose. The finest roses in
Europe were bought and crossed with
the American roses and the two most
notable results are the Columbia and
Rose Premier. Both of these are
large full beautiful roses. The Co
lumbia is a pink and the Rose Premier
Is deep rose.
The Columbia rose has taken prizes
wherever it has been exhibited and
the Richmond rose is well known. The
Rhea Reid took the gold medal in
Paris in 1904 but this rose is not as
profitable as the others.
The work of crossing the roses or
cross fertilization is interesting. The
pollen of one is put on the other and
is left there until it seeds. When
foreign plants are brought in the one
is grated on the other. They callous
and then spring into one shoot.

have been used to bring about the

country is much behind the times in
educational and legal protection to

becomes the duty Of all forward look

whole nation are unified and that the
standard by which to measure the
proper program for each state is the
code of laws Of the most advanced
states.
Women voters should contribute
more to their nation and to the world
than they do when acting from a To-
Called viewpoint. Those who live
in the valley do not know what is to
be seen from the mountain top The
opportunity to climb the mountain and
to view all humanity in it's struggle

beaueathed by Mrs. Frank Leslie,
widow of widely known editor and

the advancement of the suffrage cause.
