his life from the allies, but that they
still purpose to try him for his crimes
is evidenced by their warning to Hol-
land not to permit him to escape from
Dutch territory, and by Lloyd Georges
announcement in the house OF COM
mons that William will soon be placed
on trial in London.
All matters concerning the peace
treaties are now in the hands of the
new council Of five, comprising Lam
sing, Pichon, Balfour. Tittoni and
Maxine. Tittoni let it be known that
Italy wished all territory taken from
Austria to be definitely disposed of
In the Austrian treaty, which meant
that that pact could not be formulated
for sine time and not without pro-
tracted debate over the Fiume ques-
ton especially.
The Chinese delegates said they ex-
pected to sign the treaty with Aus
tria, in which they found nothing OBJ
jectionable, and thereby gain admis-
sion to the League of Nations despite
the Withholding Of their signatures
from the German treaty. China prob
ably will make separate peace with
Germany. In refusing to sign the
German treaty the Chinese delegates
disobeyed their instructions from
Picking, being Influenced by the south
China revolutionaries.
The Turkish delegation to Paris
was sent back home in hurry be-
cause its ideas concerning the main
tenance Of the Ottoman empire were
quite contrary to the plans Of the al
lies. These plans, however, are still
inchoate. Greece, which wanted pos
session of Constantinople and realizes
that she cannot have it, is urging that
the United States accept the mandate
for that city as well as for Armenia,
but there is more than chance that
the Americans would not agree to
this. Meanwhile the Greek forces in
Asia Minor are fighting three Turkish
armies over which the government OF
Turkey says 1t has no control.
1t was predicted In Washington that
with the return Of President Wilson
there would be radical change in
the governments policy toward Mex.
leo. Senator King Of Utah, Democrat
said the administration would prac-
tically issue an ultimatum to Carran-
"a, demanding guarantees for the pro.
lection of American lives and prop
erty in Mexico and limiting at inter
yention by the United States. The
public has just learned the facts con-
corning the brutal murder of John w.
Correll, an American citizen, near
Tampico on June is, and the assault
on his wife. There is every reason to
believe that Carranza soldiers were
the perpetrators Of those shocking
crimes.
Having lived to see the triumph OF
the cause for which she labored for
many years, DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
honorary president of the National
American Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton, passed away at her home in
Moylan, Pa, at the age of seventy-one
years. During the war Doctor Shaw
did excellent work as chairman of the
women's committee on the council of
national defense, and for this she had
just been awarded the distinguished
service medal.
The first balloon" to cross the At
lantic, the British dirigible RIA, COM
manded by Major Scott, which was to
have arrived at Roosevelt field, Min
cola, N. T., late in the afternoon of
July 5, came to grief in the Bay Of
Fundy, between Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. A United States destroy
er was dispatched to her aid from the
Otter Cliff station at Bar Harbor, Me.
The airship evidently was following
the coast line in southwesterly direc-
ton toward New York. The dirigible
started from East Fortune, Scotland,
at 1:48 on the morning Of July 2. and
dtsnite the accident, the achievement
is considered in aviation circles as
success. The new motor that was in
stalled worked splendidly until near
the end Of the voyage, and the crew

had nothing but praise for the conduct
Of the big airship before that.
Scores Of army and navy officers
were at Mineola to welcome the Brit
ish flyers, and general sympathy was
expressed. During the voyage the d.
rigible had been in almost constant
touch, by wireless with ships, and,
nearing the end, with shore stations.
