Man Who Called Treaty "A Asks Allies to Try

I V.K jV f 5 ,

Dr. Theobald von

Dr. Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, who was German chancellor from

1909 until July 14, 1917, has asked the

the ex-kaiser. He says he assumes responsibility , for the acts of Germany dur

ing his period of office. Bethmann-Hollweg is the man who at the beginning

of the war defined tne treaty guaranteeing tne neutrality of Belgium as "a

scrap of paper.". Treaty To Be Another "Scrap Of Paper" To Hans Says Roman Press (By Associated Press) ROME, Saturday, June 23 Oennany signed today "a scrap of paper" is Epocha's comment on the signing of the peace treaty. "The event at Versailles may have caused emotion to those- present" Epocba says, "but It causes great anxiety ctovthos far' way who besides listening to the rhetoric, look into the hearts of tli0''people,w--' "Germany signed, but it determined not to maintain Its pledges. Bauer, Erzberger, David and Mueller are the same men who voted war appropria tions from the first to the last day of the conflict. In reality the same regime of 1914 now exists, only mas queraded as being democratic. France, with a view to keeping Germany disarmed, will be obliged to maintain enormous contingents under colors. This will absorb all the benefits coming from control of the Sarre basin. "A great proud people like the Ger mans could submit even to paying all their riches in expatiation of their crime, but they cannot stand the daily offense to their sentiments. Alter a tremendous defeat, Germany would have hated war, but French sentinels on the Rhine will keep up for an entire generation the spirit of revenge. "True peace is only possible when everybody lays down his arms eliminating with absolute sincerity all causes of irritation among peoples."

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 1. Test cases on the sale of beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent. of alcohol will be brought immediately by the department of justice in all jurisdictions' where such cases are not now pending. 'We propose to make immediate ar rests of persons who violate the war time prohibition law, according to our interpretation thereof," Attorney General Palmer said today. The de partment does not intend, however, to be swept off its feet the first day mat prohibition comes into effect. We will proceed In an orderly fashion to establish whether intoxication beverages prescribed by the law included those having less than 2.75 per cent, alcohol. House Prepares Bill. The house judiciary committee probably will meet next Monday to report out a straight bill for enforcement of war time prohibition so as to stop the sale of 2.75 per cent. Ker. The plan virtually was agreed upon today after leaders had decided to defer consideration of all prohibition legislation until next week. House leaders said that if the bill were reported by the committee on Tues day, it would be passed without extended debate and sent to the senate. At best, they said, 2.75 per cent beer would be on the market less than two weeks. MARYLAND COURT RULING. BALTIMORE. July 1. Judge John C. Rose, in the United States District court here today sustained the demurrer to the Indictment against the Standard brewery, incorporated, of Baltimore which charged the concern with manufacturing a "cereal beverage" containing at least one-half of one per cent alcohol.

HURTY URGES COMPLETION OF T. 6. HOSPITAL

Secretary ; of State Board of Health; is Pleased With County Site. Verdict that ; the proposed location of the Wayne county tuberculosis sanitarium, on the Liberty pike about 7 miles south of Richmond, is an ideal location, was given after his inspection on Tuesday by Dr. J. N. Hurty secretary of the Indiana state board jof health. Dr. Hurty urged that the county go ahead with the hospital as soon as possible, and " get it in condition to receive patients. He expressed satisfac tion with the work already done. The trip of inspection occupied him. with the county commissioners, and TVin T. buna . TA T. T3 TTiimt m si John W. Mueller, three members of the board of managers, most of the morning and part of the afternoon. An open meeting was held in the county commissioners courtroom at the courthouse, after the party came back to Richmond, for discussion of the project. . Answers Objections. Answering .the largest objections to the site, Dr. Hurtald first that the location of the sfitarium would not decrease the general health of the neighborhood, or the desirability of neighboring property, since the neighbors, would' follow the disease-preventing practices which they saw at tne hospital. . . He recommended that the countv buy army trucks, now stationed at Indianapolis, to carry patients, nurses, and relatives back and forth to the sanitarium, and that in any case the county should' install and superintend tne transportation line. Moving of the barn away from the house, and the transformation of the tenant house Jnto a cottage for attendants has been practically completed, but work on the house Itself has not been started. Paris Celebration Is Featured By Reception (By Assoctaced Press) PARIS, Monday, June 30. Official and popular rejoicings over the conclusion of peace continued tonight, with civilians and soldiers dancing in the streets and a gala reception at the- city hall which was attended by President and Madame Poincare, a number of French generals, public men and allied kmbassaflors. . - The cltr hall ws brHllfcatly 'ilia minated, as is customary on July 14, Bastille day, and the square in front of It was black with people long before the president arrived. After the reception, four torchlight parades, led by republican guards and bands, start ed from the city hall, followed by in mense crowds. Small musical organizations which were pressed into ser vice furnished music for Impromptu outdoor balls in different quarters of the city, which were largely attended by American soldiers. LOTS OF IRISH AT STATION, BUT 1 NOT DE VALERA Many persons of Irish descent, and some who merely boast Irish temperament, gathered Tuesday morning at the Pennsylvania station to pay proper respects to Eamonn DeValera, head of the Irish Sinn Fein republic, who was to pass through Richmond on hjs way to Indianapolis. There was much green in evidence and Irish enthusiasm of such pervasive quality, that even the train master and the porters, who are "fed up" on heroes from seeing so many troop trains and wounded soldiers pass through every day, began looking down the track wondering when "that Irish President" would arrive. . Somebody even hummed "The Wearing of the Green" and there was a might have suffered for Ireland them - selves and were triumphing in the new hopes for her freedom. But the main figure of the day was absent. He did not appear either on the 10 o'clock train on which he was scheduled, or the later train at 12:45. and the patriotic crowd sadly wended their way homeward. De Valera spoke in New Hampshire Monday night, and probably could not meet his schedule here. BOSTON TOWNSHIP SOLDIER, DEAD IN ACTION, HONORED BOSTON, Ind., July 1. Over three hundred persons attended the honor service held at the high school Sunday afternoon for the eighty-one Boston township men who have been in military service. The celebration was in charge of Masonic Lodge No 233, the committee in charge being O. M. Whltmire, Frank B. Jenklnson and Clarence Parks. A special memorial service was held for Roy H.

"Long Drouth" Starts Today in All

Parts of U. !?,., (By Associated Press) ' WASHINGTON. July : 1 The whole nation awoke today to a realization of prohibition. The banishment of the" eye opener,' at the bar, long. a forgotten in many parts of the country, was all embracing. Only those who had been provident enough to "stock up" in advance for the long drought or who could find solace in 2 3-4 per cent brew were able to carry out the time-honored custom of starting the day with an early morning "bracer." War time prohibition banning for the time rsing all distilled liquors and leaving in a cloud of doubt the future of beer was effective at midnight. Exemption of beer from the nt of forbidden beveraKes came as a result of an eleventh hour announcement by the department of Justice that pending decisions in present litigation to determine whether a brew containing 2 3-4 ner cent of alcohol is in toxicating, no action would be taken toward stoDDing the sale or beer con taining no more than that amount of alcohoL Thus pending court decisions or action by congress defining intoxicat ine beverages, sale of the lighter drinks will be Dermitted in states in which there are no regulatory laws until Jan. 16 when constitutional pro hibition becomes effective. Other than this the only ray of comfort left the antl-prohibitionists is the coming of the time when President Wilson will declare demobilization of the army complete which automatically would suspend operation of the war time act until January it.

After sitting in refuge In an old boat in Libau harbor since Apr. 16, Premier Ullman, formerly an American university professor, landed triumphantly with his cabinet at Libau on June 27, and resumed control of the Lettish government, from which he had been displaced by a man named Needra, who usurped the. premiership with German support, and who is now under guard in a Libau hotel. The description of Ullman's return to power is given in a dispatch received by Herbert Hoover, head of the Inter-Allied relief organization. British and FFrench officers joined in the celebration in honor of Prerier Ullman's return. As the dilapidated craft approached the city, bands played on the docks and children strewed the path with flowers as the old officials made their way to a gaily decorated stand from which Premier Ullman delivered an address. He thanked the allies for the support giv en Letvia and said the Uited States through the American relief administration, had saved thousands of Letts from starving. The Lettish public made the destruction of the statues of the former German emperor and General Von Hlndenburg in the city, part of the celebration ceremonies. a

HOLLWEG'S ACT FAVORED BERLIN, Monday, June 30. Dr. Theobold von Bethmann-Hollweg,' former German chancellor, offered on May 20, 1919, to surrender himself for trial by the allies but at that time took the view that Germans accused of causing the war or of acts in viola tion of the rules of civilized warfare should be tried either before a local court or German judges.' Hit attitude at that time therefore was held to be undesirable. Now, however, after peace has bslgned and the Germans have agreed to extradite person whom desire to place on trial, the action of the former chancellor In offering to surrender to the allies is looked upon as purely personal. The government does not object to his action as it la believed that he is one of those whom the entente Intends to bring before the high tribunal. ARMED U-BOAT SEEN WASHINGTON, July 1.
