KAISER RESPONSIBLE FOR
CRIMES, BRITISH CHARGE

..,LoNDoN. Jan. 13.-Despite the
closest. secrecy, IL is learned from a
we'll informed source that the British
draft OF the indictment against inc
former Kaiser includes two principal
counts
1-Instisation OF the war diplomat
icslly;
o-Respousibility for the crimes Of
the German armies.
The French have not yet accepted
the latter count, prcferring TO ueai
directly with the principal onenders:
It is probable that the discussion OF
this and other controversial points
Including the question OF American
participation may delay approval OF
the Indictment.
The suggestion that the demand for
the ex-kaiser's surrender be made
through the French minister at Ihe
Hague has now been practically
a abandoned.
II is considered most likely that a
special courier, acting in the name or
the peace conference, will likely convey
,. the summons to the Dutch capital
The name of Paul Dutasta, secretary
of the Conference, has been mentioned
in this connection. Holland has al
ready been unofficially sounded on
the matter.
According to Rome dispatches,
quoting dispatches to the Agenzia LII
IBERIA from The Hague. the ex-kaiser
may ask the allies for a change or
venue to Italy. d.,
Legal experts attached-to to the peace
conference are said to have drawn up
the draft of a letter, couched in ener-
getic terms, to accompany the indict-
ment when it goes forward to the
Dutch capital.

,. Buford Goodwin. of the Atlanta
Georgian, asked that one special
day be set apart to discuss Allan
ta's superiority over all other
American cities, North and South.
He considered that the Atlanta
Georgian. is in a class by itself
among the Hearst newspapers.
First, because OF it's aristocratic
surroundings Second, because 1t
sells for five cents on week days.
Third, because the city in which It
is published combines all the quail
tiles, without any defects, Of an
cient Athens and modern NeV>
York, Paris, London and Rome.
He pointed on reliable charts to
Georgia's hundreds of millions in
annual crops, told a few things
about cotton, which supplies the
human race with the clothes it
wears and automobiles with fabric
for tires. He told of the millions
in cotton now stored in Augusta,
and as final boast asserted that
Georgia would soon pass Iowa In
the production of hogs. Men from
Atlanta are local as well as ma
tional patriots.
Mr.. Hearst was there, OF course.
to emphasize the fact that nothing
counts but circulation, which
means influence.
And Moore, who runs all the
magazines and the general man
agement, was there to tell his COL
leagues that profit also means in
fluence, since il means, with
Hearst, starting more newspapers
to eat the profit.
Men mentioned here and the
others, as able or abler, not men
toned (such as Kobler. known
everywhere as the advertising
bloodhound, and Ranck, Of the New
York American, who can get more
excited about a piece OF real news
than anybody who ever lived since
Queen Dido raced up and down the
beach), interest you who read
Hearst publications.
For they are all working for you,
employed by you. paid by you.
And they all know that upon faith
full service to you depends their
prosperity, and what is more i'm
portant, their usefulness in life.

In many quarters tho probabilities
Of an extra dividend on United states
Steel common is very real. in others the
idea is advanced with reservations.
Those who are almost positive that
there will be such an extra take their
cue from the statement recently issued
by Judge Gary. chairman of the board
Of the United States Steel Corporation
They maintain that the Judge was
very guarded in his statement and.
while he did not commit himself on the
question of an extra at this time, that
reading between the lines it can be seen
that. while he might be in favor OF 1t.
everything depends on the other direc-
tors.
They also emphasized the fact that
Judge Gary said that the earnings OF
the first quarter would be- very good
and say that he would not have made
such statement so long before the
meeting on Tuesday next IL he did not
have some object in view.
Quite the contrary opinion is held by
many others. They also advance Judge
Gary's statement in support Of their
views. They quote the paragraph where
he said: -,
now paid for expansion and improve
ments and other purposes were paid IN
dividends. it would be TO the prejudice
Of the company and its permanent stock
holders"
A well known banker, when asked his
opinion on the subject. said there were
good REASONS for either conclusion, and
personally he believed that from the
strong cash position which the cor
poration holds there may possibly be a
small extra dividend.
