scoop on that he ever pulled off, and
in general to talk "shop."
Recently at breakfast some of his
newspaper friends were present, and
the Senator was talking about the
old days of the tramp printers, who
disappeared when linotype machines
came in.
"Do any Of you remember print
err named Frenchy?" asked Senator
Harding "Frenchy was a sawed-off
chap from Quebec and one of the best
printers | ever saw-when he was
sober, which wasn't very often.
"Frenchy used to drift into Marion

days, and take case as sub One

that take of copy and set it up. That
night he got boiling drunk, and the
next day we had to fire him.
"Frenchy left town and we did not
see him again for about seven years
Then. one night when was running

Demand for Allied
WarGuiItyDelayed
German Foreign Minister
Doubts Entente Would
Act OF, His Evidencc

BERLIN, March 5.-Germany does
not intend % send the Entente at nres-
eent tho list Of Allied citizens accused
oy Germany of misdeeds against her
1ofces during the war, it was stated by
torelgn Minister Mueller to-day dur
ing the debate in the National Assem-
Diy on the third reading Of the bill to
govern the German trials of persons
accused Of war crimes by the Entente
The Foreign Minister declared he
doubted whether the Allies would pun
lsh any ofatheir citizens on the strength
or German evidence, and he was rather
nncllned to believe. the German move
would only serve to unite the Allied
coalition more Grmly. It was the
united front Of the German people in
opposing the Allied demands for extra
oition OF Germans, however, he de-
cIared, that had caused the Allies to
recede from their position, and not the
pam German clamor.
The German records already COM
piled, Herr Mueller stated, comprised
~ 3 pages OF indictments against
french individuals and sixty-nine
against British. The data have been
officially corroborated, he added. but he
considered that the present time was
not an suspicious moment to make the
list pubic, and the government would
reserve it's decision as to publication
tor later day. The German govern
ment, he added, would never demand
the eXtradition of enemy generals.
"Ihe extradition list of the Entente
Is but an expression of the cockiness
OF the victors,' Herr Mueller said. As
to 5 war =, mlsdeeds in general, he laid
down the proposition that "swinish-
ness and crime" could be charged up
to all the belligercnts.

PARIS. March Z. <Liberte" sees in
the new bcndon memorandum the COM
plete overturning of the reparations
agreement established under the peace
treaty, and complains of the treatment
of France in this radical change of pro-
cedure. The newspaper says:
According to the terms of the treaty
the nations which, like France, had suf-
fered damages from German aggres-
sion were asked to. present their bills
before May l, after-whieh Germany was
to make payments in certain number
OF annual instalments.
Nothing of all this now remains.
Instead Of taking actual damages as
the basis from which to compute the
indemnity Germany shall pay, the Al
lies now suggest fixing lump sum as
the maximum Germany must paw.
Imagine q man whose house had
been pillaged and destroyed and whose
first thought was TO reconstruct the
property at the expense Of him who de-
stroyed 1t. He made q strict account
ing of the damage done, with the under
standing the guilty man was to apply
MS work and his fortune to the task Of
wiping out the debt. But instead this
man whose house was destroyed turns
to the other and says: Never mind the
value Of my house, my furniture and
my fields. You have DESTROYED everv-
thing, killed ono of my sons and in
validated the other. But Won are not
rich, so give me what you can and we
will call it quits.
Inat IS the language of our allies.
