ST. QUENTIN WAS LOOTED BEFORE FOE FIRED IT

Everything of Value in City Was Carried Ajvay, French Claim. PARIS, Aug. 20. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The Germans, according, to the French claims, not only deliberately caused the fires that have partially ruined the beautiful and famous Cathedral of St. Quentln but pillaged the city before they set fire to a part of It. The vandalism Is laid to the door of officers and soldiers of the 116th and 117th regiments of the 25th division and more or less directly, to the commanders of these units, respectively Col. Gjing, Col. Klotz, and General Von Scharfenstein, who are charged with having ordered a systematic pillage of St. Quentln as soon as they entered the city. Officers, with soldiers to do the heavy work, went about the city, It la claimed, and carried off furniture, silverware, pianos, and valuable pictures and shipped them to Germany. Take Safes Openly. They even took safes filled with valuables and did it openly, piling their loot on to vans in mid-day. One officer and a number of soldiers were observed. It Is said, as they attempted to steal strong boxes from a bank. The pillaging troops worked under orders to establish a dept for loot on the route to Cambral, where "finds" from various towns were concentrated. The soldiers received instructions to take anything they pleased or that looked valuable and In consequence have "cleared out" the city of St Quentln as well as countless smaller places. Numberless men on furlough are said to have gone back to their homes laden with loot. Nor has money been overlooked In the vandals hunt. One eoldier of the 116th Is supposed to have uncovered thirty thousand francs and to have appropriated it, while smaller sums are missing from a number of homes. Today there remains in St. Quentin homes only old, broken and worthless furniture. Everything of value has been carried away.

SOLDIERS HOTEL PLAN OF Y. M. C. A.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. The war council of the Y. M. C. A., it was announced today, is considering a plan to establish a lodging house for the accommodation of soldiers and sailors strangers in New York who on leave of absence, have a night to spend in the city. High rates charge by hotels, it was said, have so increased the number of soldiers and sailors appealing to it

for aid, that the war council, in the

absence of co-operation by hotel men

in providing rooms at reasonable rates,

planned to fit up a loft building as a

dormitory where men can De loagea at nominal rates

When the national army canton

ments are in full swing the problem will be more complex, as there will

be. nerhaps, thousands of soldiers on

leave in New York City every night.

TRIAL IS POSTPONED

LONDON, Sept. 13. Reuters Petrograd correspondent says the trial of General W. A. Soukhomlinof f, former

minister of war, who is charged with treason, has been adjourned until the present political crisis has ended, in order to permit the court to carry out its sittings amid a calmer state of public mind.

GILES ANNOUNCES ESSAY PRIZES

At the first principals' meeting of the year, held in the high school Wednesday afternoon, the prizes for school teachers' essays were announced. Superintendent Giles read the bulletin received from Washington which explained the matter fully. The essay is to be on "Why the United States Is At War," and is open to all school teachers in the United States. Prizes totaling $300 are to be given, ranging from 75 down to $10. The calendar for the school year was discussed. It will be sent to the school board for approval.

No Right to Advise Neighbor to Break Laws, Judge Avers SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13. In instructing prospective jurors in the trial, which was under way here today, of Daniel O'Connell, an attorney and six other men charged with conspiring to hamper enforcement of the selects ive conscription law, Judge William C. VanFleet of the United States district court defined free speech. "No man," he said, "has a right to carry the liberty of free speech to a point which interferes with the due execution of the law, where his opposition is not an honest one and is actuated wholly by the intention of expressing his views. Sometimes individuals will give expression to views which may have an effect upon the execution of the laws. But if they are honestly and conscientiously expressed, it is, under our constitution, the liberty of free speech. "The citizens have a perfect right to discuss any measure; they have a perfect right to criticize the judgement of the courts or legislative acts. "No man has a right to advise his neighbor or the public, to obstruct the execution of the law. That is beyond the liberty of free speech."

During Revolution

REBEL CHIEF

Continued From Page One. of Georgians and Caucasians, is the only unit of troops sent against Prograd which remains solid for General Korniloff. That body is now at Tsar-skoe-Selo. Up to yesterday afternoon it was feared force would have to be applied to it, but it tow seems the situation has cleared. Fierce Caucasus Cavalry. It appears to be undoubted that the "savage" division though devoted to General Korniloff, had no idea of their destination or his aim. The division consists of eight regiments of fierce Caucasus cavalry recruited almost exclusively from the tribes Ingushes, Kabardintsj and 'Ossetinians and contains a few Tartars. Almost all are Mohammedans and among them are many princes. Some are wholly uneducated. Their commander is General Bagration. The submission of the "savage" division was brought about through the devotion of a group of their co-relig

ionists to the government. The tribesmen do not speak Russian, suspect and dread Christians and when approached by the government's Russian embassaries refused to listen to them and threatened them with arrest.

viewed General Kugusheff, a little swarthy picturesque Asiatic, whose

head was bandaged from a wound and who wore an ordinary Russian uni

form. The general said: "The Caucasians declared they abso

to Petrograd for fear the Bolsheviki

would massacre them. But they were

willing to abandon resistance on con

dition they were sent home to the Caucasus front where, however, they

must not be employed against their

co-religionists the Turks.

"After prolonged negotiations we

agreed to recommend this solution to Premeir Kerensky and we returned to

Petrograd. The premier has now promised us that the "savage" division will be unpunished and will be sent home to the Caucasus, there to replete its ranks, and will be absolved from service against the Turks. I consider their submission assured."

On The Boards

MURRAY Lewis & Leopold, whose billing Is "The Merry Men In Songland" is a comedy, singing and piano act. Mr. Lewis is a native of Mississippi, possibly delineates the negro character better than the average comedian owing to his study of this character on his native heath. Mr. Leopold is a composer of note, having to his credit many successes among which the following are at present in vogue, "Take Me Back to Dreamland," "Under the Mellow Arabian Moon" and "Down in China Town."

He is also a brilliant pianist, having i

as well a sympathetic voice which blends with Mr. Lewis' splendidly. With such attributes it is not at all hard for this team to create a vast amount of melodious fun.

Guards Will Remain About as They Are WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Renewed assurances that national guard units will be broken up as little as possible in the army reorganization was given today by the war department. It was explained however, that In many cases it will be necessary to change the status or unity of organizations, and the decision rests with the department commanders.
