AS PEACE OMEN
WorShipers in Cathedral Looked
 on Doves Visit.
At Least an Interesting Coincidence That Birds Appearance Was Just Before the Series of Battles
 That Smashed Huns.

How traditions and legends grow up around cathedrals is told in q story by Dr. Edward Hagaman Hall, author of the first guide book of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which made it's appearance on Sunday last, said the New York Evening Sun recently. The book is published by the Laymen's club of the cathedral. The story is about the chapel of St. Boniface in the ca thedral, sometimes called the German chapel, and runs as follows: Tn the spring of 1918, some weeks after the great German drive of March 2l had begun and before the begin hing of the counter-offensive of the second battle of the Marne in July, the large stained-glas window in the clere- story of the choir above the entrance to the chapel of St. Boniface arrived from England. All the ventilation openings in the cathedral windows are ever interesting in their natural hab- flats, are practical nuisance in the cathedral
 "When the stained-glass window was ready to be put into place the temporary window filling the space above the entrance to the chapel was removed for it's installation. While the window was thus open, and at 6 period in the war when the issue trembled fin the balance and the world fairly held ifs hreath in fparful expecfatiou
 of the event, white dove-very gen. erally recognized as a symbol or har. binger of peace-few into the cathe- dral over this chapel.
 "On the following Sunday it scared around in the great dome of the cross ing and In the choir, alighting in the most interesting places. When Dean Roberts ascended the stairs of the great marble pulpit he found the dove perched on the edge of the pulpit di- rectly before him. The dove then flew
 around and alighted on the back of a vacant chair between two occupied
 chairs in the midst of the oongrega- tiOn on the south side of the cross
 ing, and there remained quietly during the sermon.
 "When the ushers started toward the altar with the osfertory the bird scared
 across the congregation and alighted

Germany to try War Criminals

LONDON, Feb. 1e.-Germany
will be allowed to try the alleged
war criminals herself.
In note sent to Berlin this eve
ming the allied powers promise TO
refrain from any intervention, but
emphasize that they leave to the
German government entire response

nationals named in the list recently

The note declares, in effect, that
the allies reserve the right to Judge
whether justice has been melted out
and the further right to seize for
trial before allied tribunals such
men whom they do not consider to
have been properly judged by the
German court
The note announces that an allied
commission will be formed for the
purpose of collecting and commune
eating to the German government
the details of all charges against
the alleged war culprits. The
powers also inform Hollands gov
eminent that they hope the ex-Kai-
ser will yet be delivered to the

HUNS ARE PLANNING
To DESTROY FRANCE
Returned Captain Predicts
Another War-Europe Loafs.

Just back from Europe after two
years service overseas and with q
record of tw1 trips to Europe during
his army career, DIR. Roy Cranberry,
discharged only few days ago with
the rank Of captain in the medical
corps, arrived in the city yesterday.
Capt. Cranberry took an afternoon
train for Somerville, where he will
make a short visit. Capt. Cranberry
was practicing medicine in Memphis
at the outbreak OF the war in 1917
He entered the army at once and
departed during the summer for
England.
Capt. Cranberry served in Eng
land, France, Belgium and Germany
during his stay overseas and enjoy
ed some Of his richest experiences
after the armistice was signed, while
serving in Berlin with the United
States military commission. He
was stationed in the Adlon Hotel.
on the famous Inter den Linden
he was in Berlin from February un.
til August, last year, and witnessed
the various uprisings of the sparta
.eists, during several of which threats
were made against the American
mission stationed in the famous
hotel.
Capt. Cranberry praised Minister
of Defense Noske, now member OF
the German government, and sayJ
he is the strongest man in the adj
ministration. Noske showed friend
illness for the American mission and
posted machine guns at the entrar ce
of the famous hotel for protection
OF the mission against the sparta
cists. Several times Capt. Gralt
berry and his comrads were kept in
the hotel for as long as 10 days at q
time to protect them from the
sparatacists.

have paid the health officer $100
per month for looking after the

alright to pay a man $50 per

conserve their land. That's a mat
ter of dollars and cents and we
want our dollars cared for. The

themselves. But to pay the health
officer 500 per month, Amt that

Oh, it is enough to bankrupt the

efH ba'sHaIHs the fact thsi
Germans nndes Articles z2s and
g29 6f.ihe peace treaty agreed to
turn ORE u The allied and asgoci-
ated powers los trial before military
tribunals persons accused of hav-
ing committed acts in violation OF
the laws and systems OF war" she
now apparently will refuse point
blank to carry out these specific
provisions Of the treaty. Various
excuses OF undue and unreasonable
humiliation have BEEN offered by
the Germans, but Rene Viviant,
former premier of France, suggests
the more probable cause for Ger
man stubbornness
Germany will never deliver
the war criminals wanted by
the allies for trial because she
knows that Americas failure to
ratify the Versailles treaty and
highlands troubles in Ireland
and Egypt prevent military
pressure by the allied powers.
The explanation then clearly lies
in the American Senate more than
it does with the Ebert government
or any other that might succeed it.
Bad as the present German obsti-
macy appears it grows almost infn-
iteiy worse when we think OF what
it means for the future. This first
reputation OF the treaty terms un-
doubtedly is but the beginning. We
may rest assured that American
aloofness and the implied division
of the allies will be exploited by
the Germans for everything they are
worth.
We believe that fair and impair
tial history will record the fact that
American dollars, American pro-
ducts and American soldiers won
the great war. These same non-
partisan chronicles may have to re-
cord the additional fact that the
American Senate destroyed the VIC
tory. Commercial Appeal.

May Repudiate Treaty.

The Germans are going to repu
date the peace treaty in every way
possible, he said, land already are
threatening that they will attack
France again within the next 10
years and crush her before England
can come to aid.
The Germans now are pouring
out most of their hatred on France,
according to the returned veteran.
England has lost that favored posi-
ton, because the Germans hold that
France is responsible for the rigid
peace terms. America seems to be
the best liked of the allies, but
Germans also are bitter against the
United States. They hoped for a
more friendly attitude from Presi-
dent Wilson.
Belgium is recovering more rap
| idly from the war than any other
nation, according to Capt. Gran
berry. French and Germans are
not making greater progress toward
reconstruction because they won't
work, he says. Capt. Cranberry
saw thousands of Germans standing
about towns in the uniforms in
which they were discharged from
service. They will not work and
the same is said to be true of the
French.
The kaiser is a martyr in the
eyes of many people in Germany"
Capt. Cranberry, said. Thousands
of people want him back on the
throne and the royalist party still
is very strong in Germany. How
ever, the republican lvernment
seems to be stronger now than it
was when Ebert first took charge
of affairs
Capt. Cranberry came back to
| the United States last December.
He landed in New York on return
| from his second trip several days
ago Capt. Cranberry may return
to Europe again during the next
few months and locate overseas.
