The indictment OF William Hohen'
zollorn. former German Emperor
who is accused Of plotting the world
war in an effort to extend German
domination throughout the globe, Is
being expanded into definite shape
and will be soon ready for submis-
sion to the Supreme Council in Paris
The various counts in the indict-
ment are an official searet yet. but
they are expected to be made public
when the extradition OF the fcrmer
Kaiser is sought from Holland I'm
mediately after the peace treaty be-
comes effective.
According to present planGN tbe
peace treaty protocol is expected 20
be signed during the week Of Jdp.
and the exchange OF ratification will
be made at once. The peace treaty
will be then in effect.
Sir Friedrich Pollock. one OF the
foremost leaders in Great Britian
and membe: OF the Privy Council,
has already prepared a rough draft
of the indictment, but the chief task
now is getting the document in prop

Using More Paper Than Ever


WASHINGTON, Jan. Con
sumption of news print paper in the
United States during the last three
months reached n record breaking
point along with prices the Federal
Trade Commission reported in n sum
mary. The average cost of news
print at mills at the beginning OF
December was $3.50 a hundred, the
commission reported as against SO. Z 8
a year ago. In 1916 the price was
.s1.SS. the lowest in several years.
High prices failed to cut down con-
sumption. however and the commits
sion estimated that in 1919 IA per
cent more news print was used than
in 1918. During the fourth quarter
Of 1919. particularly the news print
consumption was running up, and the
commission said the increase then
over similar period in 1918 would
be between 25 and 80 per cent.
December figures have not yet
been tabulate. In November. 1919.
the 1877 publishers reporting to the
commission used 1862 tons of
news print. compared with 123.S74
tons in November 1918.

in advance OF a cheek-up with box
renters, estimate the value of the
stocks, bonds, money, jewelry, silver
ware and other valuables stolen al
sl0e 900.
When employees of the bank re.
ported for work at o'clock Saturday
morning they found that one of side
windows of the building had been bro
ken open. The door OF the vault was
standing ajar. Through the center OF
the lock on the vault door was a hole
burned by an acetylene torch.
The floor of the vault was strewn
with stocks, bonds and silverware, Il
appeared as if the robbers had worked
hurriedly, scattering around every
thing that did not strike their fancy.
Outside the vault nothing appeared
to have been touched. All the bank S
books and papers were in their places,
All the money, stocks and bonds and
other valuables held by the bank were
in a small safe within the big vault,
Apparently no attempt was made to
break this open.
