Even though the melodramntic offer of the flvo yomiKer sons of William Hohoiizollern to staiiil trial at London Jn Ills stoiul be iRmnetl or declinod, two other Princes will be bvouBht to tho bar of interallied Jusllco with the for:mr Ki'.iser. according to recent cable despatches. They are the Crown Iliiicc of I'lussia and Uut-i.recht o^ l!:ivaria, who thus will h..>o an op- l)ortHnlly, in a common p< .il, to re- concile their wartiuio jealjusies and bichcrinKs Field Marshal August von Macken- sen Is charged with thefts, incendiar- ism and executions In his spectacnlar onslaught into Rumania In 1916. He seized vast stoclts of grain, a million head of cattle, two million sheep and goats, a tBird of a million pigs, and 69,000,000 marks in gold. His men set the torcli to Rumanian villages, and aie said to have shot down Rumanian prisoners solely for terrorlzation. VIM ,Marshal von JIackcnsen is 70 years old. fie and Hindenburg are Armv officers, submarine command- ! the only holders of the Grand Cross era, a Cabinet member, those respons- ible for the execution of Kdith Cavell and Captain Fryatt, the Instigators of murderous prison camp brutalities, looters and incendlaiies in regions overrunâ€" these are included in the in- ternational rogues' gallery. Some of them will be tried In the countries where their offences were committed. Those who ordered deportations from Frenih towns probably will he ar- raigned at F'aris; those who set the torch to lielgian cities. In Brussels. U-boat commanders, who sank hospi- tal ships, however, and others whose oiTeiueB are against humanity, such as the ex-Kaiser and the two Princes, may face their doom in London and be imprisoned raeanv.-hile in the fam- ous old Tower. Hofore tho Peace Treaty was signed notice was given to Germany that she â- would be required to surrender some oflend -rs for trial before a tribunal re- presenting live chief allied and as- sociated powers, but no names were mentioned. It seems to be assured that the defendants will include the following men: Crown Prince Unpprecht of Bavaria, known to his admirers as "the anvil of tho West," who is reported in ollicial documents to have ordered his men to lake no Britishers alive. Sir Arthur Coniin Doyle compiled and edited a re- cord of the evidence on which Great Britain based her charge that Hup- of tlie Iron Cross. His ago may pro- tect him from extremely severe pun- ishment. General Otto von Below, charged with tho burning of Ardenno and the shooting of 100 persons. Olto von Be- low served In Russia, then made an ineffectual effort to save Monastir, and later led the Austro-Gernian forces in tho offensive against the Italians along tho Isonzo in October, 1917. General Liman von Sanders, who fled iguominiously when his army in Mesopotamia was surrounded by the British, is charged with m.i:-:sacres of Armenians and Syrkms. Baron 0.-;car von der Liincken was head of tl'.c Oernuui political depart- ment in Brussels, and is hold partly actfeuntabio for the murders of Fvdith Caveli and Captain Fryatt. Ambassa- dor Brand Wliillock and Hugh S. Gis- son. Secretary to tlie Legation, ap- pealed in vain to von der Lanckcn to intercede for the nurse. Not only did he decline, but he prevented appeals from being sent over ills head to liigh- er authorities. Further, he refused a request that the body bo delivered to the Belgian School for Nurses after the execution General Baron Kurt von Manteuffel was military commander of Louvain when Miss C^avell was* slain, and is held jointly responsible witii tlie Bar on for her death. General von precht was responsible thtit order, but for tho execution of British prisoners. He is held respons- ible also for deportations from Lille, Iloubaix. Turcoing and otlier towns. Admiral Kdward Charles Ernest von C'apelle, the German Minister of Mar- ine succeeding von Tirpitz, is the Cabinet member who faces arraign- ment for unrestricted submarine war- fare He la held responsible not only for the policy of general U-boat activi- ty, but for the atrocities practiced by their commanders. Ho is of plebeian birth, and adiievod his higli post be- cause von Tirpitz found liim an apt \ and industrious pupil. His fatlier was a manufacturer at Celle, in Hanover, and claimed Ilugenot descent; and the son was not rai.sed to the nol)llity until 1912, after he had demonstrated to the then Kaiser his prospective uso- fiilm::. (Vunmandcrs Max Valentiner and von Forstner and Lieutenant VVU- helm Wernher, submarine command- ers, are to bo arraigned with von Capelle for sinking hospital Biliips. Each of these men was decorated by the Kaiser for some exceptional atroci- ty of the high seas, Valentiner. son of the Dean of tho Hondoisburg Catlied- ral. was credited with the sinking of the Lusitanla, and was acclaimed in Germany therefor. Berlin newsi)apors asserted that he had sunk 128 vessels. not only for Schroeder was the military officer im- mediately responsible for the murder of Captain Fryatt. General von Tesoy is charged with the execution of 112 civilians at Arlon in Belgium; General von Ostrowsky with the pillage of Deynze and the massacre of 11)3 civilians; Major von Buelow with the destruction of Aers- chot and the execution of 150 civilians. Generals Olsen and von Cassel are the highest officers under charges growing out of prison camp cruelties. They were in chargo at Doheritz. Lieutenant Rudiger was guilty of bru- tality at Ruhleben, Major von Goertz at Magdeburg, and two brothers named Niemoyer at the Holzmlnden and Chuisthul camps. Some of the facts about the mis- treatment and starvation of prisoners at these camps became public through ofUeiul documents during the war. In many cases the brutalitii;s inllicted upon tlie mon, particularly the British, were tho direct cause of <leatli. There remain two lirotliers named Rochlin, who were arrested by the French in the Sarro Valley, and were found to have stolon vast quantities of nuichinery. They had assembled tlieir loot in a Held, and it covered ;;everal acres. These men aro now on tho intorna- tional criminal docket. Possibly other names may bo added later. BRITAIN HAS LIST OF HUNS FOR TRIAL A despatch from Paris says:â€" Al- though tho German Pe.ice Treaty pro- vides a list of Germans the Allies want to try. and It must he siibmilted with- in .'iO days from the time the Germans ratilied the treaty, the Council of Pivo «o far has done nothing toward mak- ing up such a list. It Is unilerstood, however, the Kngllsh liave a number of names already liled. Americans, Japanese and Italians openly disfavor trying to extradite tiie former Kaisi-r, and tho Fn-nch are lukewarm upon tho matter. So It Is expected it will hu a British light to Insist on the trial in London. Constant viifilance ajrainst weeds is the price re<iuire<l to maintain a clean farm. A ncwarboy on the corner was BhoutinK " 'Xtra. Rej.d nil about tho hi(f rolxberj." A motorist stopped at the words and in(]uired: "Has the price of '(fas' been hoisted again?" $50,000 FOR FLIGHT INDIA TO SOUTH AFRICA A despatch from London says: â€" The Daily lOxpress offers a prize of £10,- 000, open to the whole world with tho exception of thi' late enemy ccmntries, for an air lllglit eslablishiiig communi- cation on a comiiierciiil basis with In- dia and .South .M'rica. All competing maclilnes must carry a cargo of at least one ton on both out- ward and hommviuil llights. . Factors to bo considered In tin) award will bo tho average reliability and air worthiness of tho machines. AU3TRIAN8 TO BUILD RAILWAYS FOR ITALY A despatch from Paris says:â€" The Austrian Treaty Incorporuteit a provi- sion that within live years Italy may demand that Austria build two rail- ways through Reschen and Prodlll Passes, for which Italy will pay, and which will become Italian Qovcrnmont property. WAKE UP. OUR town should wake up to tlie fact that some one else is occupying the seat that really belongs to us. This intruder represents out-of-town business houses that take away business that should go to our *V\n mer- chants. When will our town wake up? As long as we remain asleep the intruder will keep his place. Only when we decide on tho policy of co-operation are we fully awake. We have seen the havoc and ruin of neglecting home interests.

Alta.. says: â€" The cloaking of the actual crop conditions In Southern .\lberta this year has been a disaster, accord- ing to a statement made this morning by H. VM Wood. President of the United Farmers of Alberta. Ho said that the present situation which has arisen as a result of the severe drought is nothing short of a calamity, and the optimistic reports which were sent out from different sections of the Provineo in an at- tempt to buoy up the spirits of the people, have brought about a serious condition of affairs, and the remedy must be suggested quick before mat- ters reach a critical stage. Though not pessimistic. Mr. Wood said that conditions are indeed seri- ous. The crop or the south is a fail- ure, and the farmers are without feed for their stock. He does not consider that there is sufliciont feed in the north to supply the stock, and unless some prompt action is taken there will be heavy loss suffered by the farmers and stockmen.

Statements that Bela Kun, the Soviet leader, has been invited to a conference by the .\llie« have yiven rise to reports that he has accepteil th'a subterfuge as a means of escap- ing from Hungary without the inten- tion of returning. It is denied, how- ever, that he has left Hungary thus far, or even departeil from the Capi- tal. MAOT SOLDIERS TURN TO FARMIS One Ouf of Every Five Returrcd Men Would Change Old Employment.

Officers here said -the AFjied confer- ences on this subject were conducted in a friendly spirit. These officials agreeii that Germany has a problem in her labor troubles. WHY NO CANADAIANS y IN THE LONDON PARADE .\ despatch from London says:â€" Canadian Headquarters have issued an explanation of the absence of Cana- dian troops from the great London Peace proce^ion on Saturday. They say that it is « matter of deep regret, but it has been found impossible to accept the invitation extended by the War Office to the Canadian force.* to ti»ke part in the Peace celebration procession. Un- fortunately, owing to the Canadian scheme of dcmobiVi-ntion, all organ- ized units have already been repatriat- es- Canadian soldiers still remain in this country, but whi'.e they indivfd- ually represent a number of fighting units, the circumstances of their departure prevent their being given ceremonial formation. PRINCE SAILS ON AUGUST 3. A despatch from London says: â€" It Ls officially announced that the Prince of Wales will cmoark on the l>attle8hip Renown for Canada on .August 5. NEW WAR LOAN MAY BE TAXED. .\ despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Pre- liniinary preparations for the Domin- ion loan, which is to be floated In the fall, are under way. Now that the war Is over, and finan- cial conditions are more normal. It Is regarded as probable that the loan will not be tax-exempt, as was Us war- time predecessors. Should the Gov- ernment decide to follow this course, there Is little doubt that the rate of interest yield will be made Quite at- tractive, as compared with the rate at which Vivtory bonds can now b» bought in the open market. -«- He (just to make <>onversation)â€" "Do you think opals are unlucky?"
