'The allies indicted a great number of eminent Ger
mans for war atrocities" observes the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. "The list was impressive. Away down near
the end of the list were a few obscure non-commis-
stoned officers who had been guilty of peculiarly afro
cious acts These lesser men, however, were mere in
cidentals. The big criminals were to be considered
the important items of the list.
Germany promised at Versailles to hand over the
indicted men, and later she refused to keep her prom
Use. The allies weakly yielded, and gave Germany
permission to try the men herself. Even after this
concession Germany dilly-dallied and seemed inclined
to forget all about the promised formality of giving
German war criminals German trials. 1t was not till
the London ultimatun, made the trials one of its spe-
cific stipulations that the high court at Leipsic began
the solemn ummery
"Did the Leipsic court begin at the top of the list?
Did it take up the case of Tirpitz? Did it call to its
bar the murderer of Captain Fryatt, the butcherer of
Edith Cavell, the slave driver of Lille, the vandal of
Louvain. or any other of the eminent barbarians who
executed the Prussian policy Of frightfulness? Not
by any means. The court picked a very small and
obscure goat, a n-on-commissioned officer, one Hey

of British prisoners Heyner, an obscurity, could be

WHEN WAR is WAR.

1.-THE defense put forward in the name and by the
apparent authority of the secret Sim Fein paria-
ment," observes the New York Tribune, 'for the
burning of the finest edifice in Ireland has the merit
of frankness- Responsibility is publicly acknowledged
The plea is not denial, but justification.
1.-THE justification is the assertion that the build
ing was occupied by foreign troops. This is the de-
Tense the Germans made when they bombarded
Rheims cathedral and when they burned the Louvain
library. In the openest possible<way the German doc
trine is declared that anything is fair in war, and that
war exists when a number of persons declare there is

HIRAM The LEADER.

If ever the time comes again, in the life of the Re-
publican party that it needs a rip-roaring leader, the
New Republic has him picked and ready, that is if this
event occurs in the lifetime of Hiram Johnson. Here
is what it thinks
"These 'progressives' are not cursed with an over
refinement. They like their heroes to eat raw meat
in public once in a while. They loved Roosevelt's way
of eating his, gulping it in great mouthfuls and
striking a pose, face a-grin. Better than any other
man in the Republican party, johnson can do the
Roosevelt trick. That is because, like Roosevelt, he
really enjoys raw meat, and the subsequent grin is
natures own. And, give him his due. he is a bold and
brave man, and honest-requisites also in him who
would be the popular leader of the majority of the
Republican majority. Look at himl In complete har-
mony, essential things considered, with the majority
of his party. And one of them, endowed with the en-
terprise and daring Of the natural leader. Then look
at the balance of the material for popular leadership
in the Republican party"

Public Hearings
Permanent Tariff
to Reopen Today

WASHINGTON NOV. 2.-The senate
finance committee is scheduled tomor-
row to reopen public hearings on the
permanent tariff bill which was laid
aside in September for the revenue
nill Chairman penrose announced to-
night that the first schedule to be
taken IN would he that of agricultural
products and that at least the first
days session would be devoted to
rates on wool and wooden products.
Mr.. Penrose said also it was plan
ned to take committee action on the
resolution extending the emergency
tariff. Action on the resolution. which
has been adopted by the house. has
been sought twice but each time
quoru moi the committee was lacking
Suggestions for rates on farm pro-
ducts. decided upon by the agriculture
al senatorial group, will be presented
to the committee as soon as it resumes
work.
There were some indications that
some differences might arise in the
committee with respect to the emar-
gncy tariff extension. Sen. Mclean.
Republican. Connecticut. committee
member, has prepared an amendment
designed to offset the disparity in eN-
change but it was said that members
of the house ways and means COM
nIttee who originally put forward the
resolution extending the emergency
law were opposed to any changes and
had gained the support for their views
among some finance committee mem-
bers.
The extension resolution would
continue the emergency law to Feb
ruary ]. or until the permanent tariff
rates have been enacted into law
House leaders are said to hold that
while the differences in exchange
should be corrected an attempt TO
amend the resolution might result in
parliamentary delay which would
cause the temporary tariff to slapse.

Close COnclave in Afternoon

Maine chapter representatives Of
the American Red Cross, met We'd
nesday in Augusta in observance of
the fifth annual roll call and the
day proved TO be most profitable
one in the exchange Of ideas and
discussion of work. 1t was the con-
centrated essence of enthusiasm,
perseverance, hopefulness and en-
deavor personifed in the gathering
of workers who came from all parts
of the state.
Mrs. Blaine s.. Niles, chairman Of
the Augusta chapter Of the Red
Cross, presided at the forenoon meet
ing and between discourses of work
ers from other parts of the state she
gave highly interesting bits of infor-
nation concerning the local chapter.
Great need of the Red Cross roll
call being worked up was early en-
phasized by Mrs. NileS. The Au-
eusta chapter has given up all out
side work and is devoting its entire
time to the tX-serNice men. 1t was
the idea to do one thing we'll. After
the war the bottom had dropped out
of business and it seemed as if the
bottom had dropped out of the Red
Cross. The reason for the latter was
because the people did not know
what the Red Cross could do after
the war. She laid great stress upon
the importance of securing plenty of
newspaper publicity for the chapter
activities.
The national convention at Colum-
bus was most ably reported upon by
Arthur 9. Rotch. manag ger of the
New England division of the Amer
lean Red Cross.

Serve the Ex- Soldier" was what Roy

LLOYD GEORGE TO
STAY IN ENGLAND
FOR IRISH QUESTION

London, Nov. 2-(By A. P)-Pre-
mier Lloyd George has definitely
cancelled passage on the steamer
Aquitania, on which he was to have
proceeded to the United States No
vember to attend the Washington
conference
This fact became officially known
here tonight for the first time.
1t had been known, however, for
some days that the critical stage the
Irish negotiations had reached prob
ably would prevent Mr.. Lloyd George
from sailing on Saturday.
Owing TO tho serious turn in Irish
affairs it is not even possible to fix a
provisional date for the premiers
sailing, but he still intends 10 go to
Washington at the earliest moment
possible.
The cancellation by the premier is
considered a favorable ather than an
unfavorable sign of the progress of
the Irish negotiations. The inter-
probation placed on it is that Mr..
Lloyd George hopes that a few DAYS
delay in his departure viii enable
him to SEQ a settlement reached or
at least the basis of an agreement
arrived at which can be worked out
during his absence from the country.
IN this connection, importance is at
tached to the fact that Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, is coming
to London shortly.
The promoters Of the lord mayors
benefit, which is TO be held Novem-
her 9, hHvc been anxious to have
Mr.. LLOYD George speak at the din
ner, at which for many years it has
been customary for the prime min
lister to make political announce
mcnt. Mr.. Lloyd George. however.
has declined to make any promise to
attend tho function and this is taken
in some quarters a $ showing that he
still is hopeful Of being able To sail
for the United States within a week.
