Former Decision Cannot Be Main- taincd Because the United States Refused to Accept It.

London. June 21.-ReferrinC to the discussion of separations between Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand 1t Hythe the London Times says the basis accepted by the former Hythe conference regarding the interdepen- dcnce of the payment of German separations and the reimbursement of Allied debts could not be maintained owing to the refusal of the United States to accept it.
 British financial representatives de- clared themselves unable in this con- nection to adhere to the plan in as much as Great Britain will have to bear the weight of her debt to the United States, it is said.
 On the other hand. it was agreed Germany should be called upon to pay reparations in the form of annui- ties W hich would be extensible in ac- cordance to Germany's capacity to pay.

Full Inquiry Into Nays Conduct
of War Is Ordered BY
Committee.
PROBE IS TO Be DEEP
Iares He Is Ready For Most Thor
ough estigation-Present
Inquiry to Continue.

Observation-Disclosures of Rear Ad-
miral Sims that the Navy department
failed to cooperate fully with the AL
lies during the great war will be in
vestigated by the Senate subcommittee
before which they we're made. THIS
was decided by the full naval commit
tee which also authorized appointment
of another subcommittee to determine
whether there should be an inquiry
into charges made by John R. Rathom,
editor of the Providence (R. L. Jour-
nal, that with the knowledge of Sec
rotary Daniels, many seamen in the
navy have been used for most vile and
nameless practices in order to entrap
innocent men,"
While the Senate committee was in
session Secretary Daniels announced
that Admiral Sims would be called on
to make good his charges either be-
fore the Senate or naval board.
Present Inquiry to Continue.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims charges
will not be started by the Senate sub
committee until it's present investiga-
ton of naval decorations is completed,
which probably will be within 10 days.
That investigation was continued with
Admiral Sims concluding his testi-
mony. Rear Admiral Mayo, COM
mander-in-chief of the Atlantic feet
during the war, will be called later.
The full naval committee met in
executive session. Senator Pittman,
Democrat of Nevada, sought to have
the entire committee conduct the in
quiry into Admiral Sims allegations,
but Senator Lodge, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, objected on the ground that
the committee was too busy with other
pressing matters. Senator Pittman
then sought to have special sub-com-
mittee appointed, but his motion was
defeated.
Declaring that when all the facts
were laid bare the country would be
proud of the navy's record in the war,
Mr.. Daniels said Admiral Sims must
be required to establish every criti-
cism he has made of the department"
when the smoke blows away" the
secretary continued, II am confident
that the people will see that the naval
administration has been efficient"

Supreme Council Sends Note
Asking Surrender of Former
Kaiser For Trial.
BROKE LAWS OF WAR
as Their Duty to The WorId.-
Cites German Atrocities
as Reasons.

Paris.-The Temps asserts that the
general secretary of the Peace con-
ference has handed to the Dutch min
ister note from the Supreme Council
demanding the extradition of former
Emperor William.
The Supreme coucil's note to the
Dutch government asking that the
former German emperor be given up
to the Allies under Article 227 of the
Versailles treaty for trial, points out
that if the former emperor had re-
manned in Germany he would have
been delivered up under the same con-
dition by the German government.
Among so many crimes" the note
recalls the "cynical violation of the
neutrality of Belgium and Luxemburg;
the barbarous system of hostages;
massed deportations; systematic de.
vastations without military reasons;
the submarine war;" and declares:
For all of which acts responsibility,
at least moral, reaches the supreme
chief, who ordered them or abused his
unlimited powers to break, or permit
others to break the most sacred rules
of human conscience.
Argument Is Deprecated.
"The powers cannot conceive that
The Netherlands would regard with
less Reproduction than themselves the
immense responsibility weighing upon
the former emperor Holland would
not be fulfilling her international duty
if she refused to associate herself with
other nations, so far as she is able, to
prosecute, or at least not impede, the
punishment of crimes committed"
The note points out that it is the
duty of the powers to insure execution
of Article 227 without entering into
argument, because: ut is not ques-
ton Of public accusation having
throughout legal character, but an
act of high international policy i'm
posed by the universal conscience, in
which legal forms are employed solely
to insure the accused body guarantees
such as have hitherto been unknown
in public law"
- Moral Appeal Made.
:, It concludes by expressing the con-
viction that Holland, one Of the first
to claim a place in the League Of Ma
lions, will not desire to cover by moral
authority violation Of the essential
principles of the solidarity of nations,
and that all are interested to prevent
return of a similar catastrophe.

The suspension of men elected to
the New York assembly as socialists
by vote of members of the assembly
elected as representatives of other
parties, has called forth strong con-
demnation by such men as Charles E..
Hughes, republican candidate for pres
ident in 1916; Governor Smith Of New
York and also the bar association of
the City Of New York, Americanization
committee Of the American Legion, and
many Of the influential papers Of the
country. The above mentioned are
far from being socialists, but take the
stand that to deny seat to men who
have gained it through the proper pro-
cedure Of the ballot with no other
charge against them, than that they
are socialists, is dangerous proceed
ure and invites direct action, a means
of securing things to which all good
citizens are opposed. The hearing is
being heard before committee OF the
assembly and is being watched with
wide interest throughout the country.

BOOST YOUR TOWN.

An ideal citizen is one who sees
something good in his town and
spreads the good news abroad that
others may benefit thcrefrom.
OF COURSE, there are other sidelights
to the ideal citizen, but the quality Of
loyalty is one which produces tangible
results.
There are three distinct attitudes
which a person may assume toward a
community which houses and feeds
him-to boost, to remain quiescent, or
to knock.
The booster pushes the town along,
the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep,
and the knocker helps to put it out Of
business.
Which are you9
Perhaps you have never given it a
Thought. You may not realize yourself
which you are-but your neighbors all
know
If you are booster, they, admire
you; if you are quiesccnt, they wonder
when you will emerge from your
slumber; and if you are a knocker,
they yearn for the day when you will
fold up your tent and silently fade
away.
Boost the home town, and it's citi-
zens will boost you.
Knock it, and you knock yourself
infinitely more.

The Supreme councils communique

with a view of remedying the uI-

deprived of all manufactured products
from outside Russia, the Supreme
council, after having taken note of the

have decided that it would permit the
exchange of goods on the basis of reci-
procity between the Russian people
and allied and neutral countries.
No Change Of Policy.
For this purpose it decided to give
facilities to the Russian cooperative
organizations, which. are in direct
touch with the peasantry throughout
Russia, so that they may arrange for
the import into Russia of clothing,
medicines, agricultural machinery, and
the other necessaries of which the Rus
sian people are in sore need, in ex-
change for grain, fax, etc., of which
Russia has surplus supplies.
"These arrangements imply no
change in the policy of the Allied gov
ernments towards the soviet govern
