prominently by the Republican Alliance,
the nlllnncc claiming the vacancy in
recognition of tho work which It did to
elect Mr. Moore.
The Mayor himself was anxious to
appoint an engineer, and Chief Dun

probable appointee.
Obviates III Feelings
The appointment of Mr. Cavcn will
obviate any disappointment that. Mr.
Dunliip might have felt over not getting
the job. Ho and Director Cavcn arc
the closest of friends. It is understood
Chief Dunlap will be Director Caven's

that the list. of Germans accused of-vlo-lations
of the laws of war must ,be re

I ernment -was to be avoided were dis
cussed by a commission wnicn mci ucro
yesterday afternoon, according- to an
official announcement.
Jules Cambon, of France, was chair
man of the commission, the members of
which Included representatives of Great
Britain, Belgium. France. Italy and
Germany. One of the German delegates
was Dr. Carl Hclnzc, minister of jus
tice.. e
Baron Birkenhead, lord chancellor of
Great Britain, opened the discussion,
referring to a statement by German del
egates yesterday, morning relative to
tne dimcuitics encountered ov tne, ucr
man Supreme Court nt Leipzig, because
of a lack of detail in the charges made
against accusedGcrmans by the .Allies.
He declared tho commission had de
cided the trial at Leipzig should bo ac
cepted by the Allies as nn experiment,
and that the commission would i confine
itself to producing "evidence from coun
tries other than Germany.
Be suggested this evidence should be
accented according to the rules of pro
cedure practiced In the countries: from
which it came, .admitting that the Gcr
mnif attorney general and court had been
given a very dlfficult'task, assuming that
a bona-fide effort would be made to
arrive at the truth.

For this reason, Baron Birkenhead

the conduct of the trial, and asserted
if the Germans would -take the initia
tive at every stag". French law officers
would give them all tho assistance In

Sir Gordon Hcwart; British dele

there might seem to "be between the
Germans and tho Allies, it would be
in form nnd not in substance. He said
all the Allies recognized they should
place their evidence in the hands of the
German attorney general and "make it
as easy ns they could for. him to get
justice done."
Discuss Coal Question
Doctor Heinze. speaking in the nnme
of the German' Government, epresscd
the opinion that all communications
should be between the law officers of
the different countries, the names of
whom were given him. v
The Germnns asked for another post
ponement after the session dealing with
the coal question yesterday afternoon,
in order that they might be able to
consult with their experts so as to be
able to make a final reply to the allied
demands today.
Premier Millerand recalled the terms
of tho treaty with regard to coal, and set
forth how far short of these terms the
German dellvierles of coal had been.
Dr. Walter Simons, foreign minister of
Germany, explained that the shortage
in deliveries had been due to strikes,

"I murdered m wife. I shot her to

Enver Pnsha and the rest of the fallen
and banished Young Turk leaders haY6s
established their headquarters after
many peregrinations between Berlin,
Moscow nnd Cnbul. They are sur
rounded by German staff officers who
led tho Turkish army at the Darda
nellcs and furnished with money and
arms by the Red dictators in the Krcm
Hn. At Elfsnbethpol the "central com
mittee" holds Its sessions, which di
rects the revolt of Islnm In nil part
of the world. It Is composed of Ilol-
hammed.m peoples, but an artificial
movement originally created and ex
ploited by Germany and now trans
formed Into an instrument of Bolshevist
Imperialism.
Secret Pacts Concluded v
The first to moturc of the plots
hatched in Azerbnidjnn is the campaign',
of the Turkish nationalists under Mus
tnpha ICeiual ugninst Constantinople.
The greater pnrt of Mustapha Kemal s
nrmy was organized and equipped in
Azerbaldjnn. Its operations are. in
reality directed by Enver Pasha hum
self, who is the occult generalissimo of
all the organized military forces of
Islam.. The immediate object of this
campaign is to re-establish the tyran-
nnu nn,l rnrrlint rule of the lOUHg
Turks on the Bosphorus nud to enslave
once more the Christian races mat .novo,
at last burst the bonds of Ottoman
domination.
Au event of still greater significance
is the conclusion of a secret pact be
tween the plotters in Azerbuldjan and
Emir Faisal, until quite lately generally
rcgnrded as Britain's most faithful
ally. Enver Pasha's exhortations havs
caused Faisal to remember that be Is
Mussulman and that It is his religious '
dutv to help exterminate Christians.
Drawn by religion, race and ambition
into the camp of Pnn-lBlainism, Emir
Fnlsal Is becomlui a grave menace 'to
his former friends, nnd it Is to be feared
that even promises of creating un "in
dependent" kingdoufeof Aiabia ior hint
to rule over will prove Ineffectual to
curb his udventurous spirit.
Campaign In India Planned
But It is in Pcrsln, Afghaplston and
India that the occult general stnff of
Islam established in Aicrbaidjun is pre
paring to strike its decisive blovvagainst
