tFormer Premier and Foreign Mfristat


London. March lo.--The British 1ov@
erument has always been most anxious
to keep down as far as possible The
number OF Germans charged with wAx
crimes. because enormous lists produce,
"A kind OF shock on public opinion. both
in Germany and other countries, and
among neatrals, and 1t Ia the kind on
shock that you would gladly avoid IL
you could.
The British government had no ops
portunity OF examining other peopie1
lists, but We examined our owns ana
our list. which Is between ninety and
100. includes nobody who did an Illegal
act because he was ordered to do it and
was not going beyond his orders.
captain of a submarine who WAS
given orders quite contrary 10 the Law
of nations, but who carried out his
orders without excess of brutality her
yond his orders, is not attacked.
We said You cannot very well punish
a man for doing act which IL he
did not do he would be shot by his own
country. People In our list of suhmA-
rine commanders are those who, we boz
lieve, on evidence which has been ex-
amined by those who are competent to
form an opinion, have gone beyond
their orders with regard to the sinking
OF merchant ships. and have behaved
with a quite gratuitous brutality on
their own account to their unhappy
victims
The lists OF other countries are nuch
larger than the British lists. The total
of 500 Is chiefly made up of the lists Of
Britajn's allies. / have had an oppor~
tuuity of talking with M. Clemenceau
/ upon this very subject He felt as Va
British feel--that ne would rather have
a shorter list from every point OF view.
But" he said what can | dor A
x.sf -
/ France tells me that her daughter was
carried oft; gives me an account OF
, crimes which makes ones blood run
! cold says the author of those crimes
/ is known; gives all the particulars and
All the facts. and says Is that man to
! be unpunished%
What" said M. Clemenceau, "am I
10 reply to n womanswho makes that
sort OF appeai@' ! confess / was dumb.
/ Can you tell the poor woman that the
scoundreI of whom her daughter was
the victim must be let of in the gem
eral interest? 1 could not say that -
| NJ. Clemenceau. II I had, what answer
would he have given me?
| / only mention that to show the kind
of difficulty there is in dealing with
these cases
! am entirely in accord with Lord
Robert Cecil. whose view 10 that the
man in the highest place, clearly anu
personally guilty, not in any merely
ministerial or mechanical capacity. but
personally guilty. of any OF thase
crimes ought not to be allowed to es-
| cape.
am sure that we agree that these
| minor instruments of crime who so be-
yond in their brutality of their orders
ought not to be allowed to escape. II
that be the principle, as hope it Is, on
which the general list is framed, much
as | regret the number of criminals. ~
at present advised it seems to me very
difficult TO find any principle On which
il can be reduced.

WARNING TO SPENDERS

Some very high-class stores con-
fess that their best customers are
beginning to restrict their expendi-
lures. One fashionable jewelry shop
admits that its business has fallen
off distinctly. The tobacconist in
one of New York's prominent hotels
states that he is selling fewer boxes
of expensive cigars. A clothing
house catering to well-to-do custo-
mers in finding that it's 500 suits
are in less demand. The curtail-
ment in expenditures appears to be
sitting in near the top, but there are
occasional reports of similar incip-
lent trend lower down. This devel-
opment should not create alarm;
rather should it be welcomed for
were the tide of reckless eXpedi-
lures to proceed unchecked for many
more months the consequences could
not fail to be upsetting all around.
It is in the interest of all that con-.
sumption of Injuries ease up for the
present, that prices move down to-
ward more normal levels, and that
the saving and prudent investing of
money increase. America has been
indulging in a spending jamboree.
The time has come to sober up.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION,

There are people who never have
a movement of the bowels without it
il produced by cathartic. Most of
them have broueat that condition on
themselves by the use of mineral wa
ters and strong cathartics that take
too much water out of the system
and aggravate the disease they are
meant to relieve. A mild laxative
tonic like Chamberlain's Tablets af-
fords a gentle movement Of the bow
els that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and their
use is not so likely to be followed by
constipation.

Stop jolting Liver and Bowels
with violent drugs, but
take "Cascarets.

'Dynamiting" bile out of your
system with calomel and other sick
ening purgatives is all wrong. Salts
Oil and Cathartic Waters act by
flooding the bowels with digestive
juices which are vital to the stom-
ach. Cascarets are different. They
act as tonic to the bowel muscles,
which is the only sensible way to
relieve a bilious attack, a sour,
acid stomach, or constipated bow
els. There is no gripping or incon-
venience. You naturally return to
regularity and cheerfulness. Cas-
carets cost very little and they
work while you sleep. (adv)

Pulaianes lay in wait for landing

THE public works bureau has
done wonders and combated many
difficulties, and so have the auto
pioneers who first took a chance
in the provinces and established
truck lines into the interior. The
Island Of Leyte was an example
of this. Rich and fertile in the in
terror, but with no transportation,
its thousands of tons of hemp and
copper were formerly packed to
the coast cities on the backs Of
dtminutivo ponies. Then a line of
trucks was put in. IT was a revela-
ton to the islanders, but they APP
preciated it, and the system has
been the making of Leyte, together
with the roads that made it posi-
BILE. In great Luzon it is the same
story. On the roads of the fertile
valleys of Camarines and Albay
provinces autos and trucks are
making life more pleasant and
profitable for provincial folk and

fleets have Dagupau as a base"
