BELGIUM REFUSES TO MAKE CHARGE AGAINST KAISER Delegates Declare Such Ac tion Should Be Taken by Commission By Associaffii Press Paris. April 17.—The Belgian dele gation to the Peace Conference yes terday informed the correspondent that Belgium had not been officially requested by the Council of Four to bring the former German emperor to trial, and that the Belgian govern ment would feel obliged to decline to take the step, even if there were any request for such action. The Belgian delegates hold that any action should be taken by a com mission representing all the asso ciated powers. The official Belgian view, it was said, is that the former emperor cannot bo arraigned for de claring war or violating the neutral ity of Belgium, or for any act pre ceding or coincident with the decla ration of war. After pointing out that there is no' tribunal competent to hear such charges against the former emperor, and no provision of international lav. covering such cases, the delegates said that Belgium expects that per sons guilty of acts punishable under criminal codes of any of the bel ligerent powers placed on trial, as theft, murder and other' crimes committed during the war. does not relieve the criminal of re- ■ sponsibilitv. Does Not Seek Itovcngc "If the commission desires to ar-' raign Gen. Baron Von Mantueffel for the sacking cf I.ouvain. General Vonl Schroeder for the murder of Captain Fryatt. and General Von Sauberz-, woig. for the execution of Miss Edith Cnvoll. n'l the necessary documents will be forthcoming." said the gen eral secretary of the delegation. "But Belgium does not seek revenge. It; wants only justice. It would be small j satisfaction to lock up the kaiser fori a few months in the Saint Gills pris- I on. and those who have reported that such revenge has been offered Belgium as a solace for her wrongs have sadly misunderstood the Bel gian character, if they thought it I would be acceptable. "The only case in which the per- j sonal responsibility of the ex-emper-; or for a criminal act committed in Belgium could be established beyond doubt is in the atrocities attending' the deportations of civilians and compelling them to do forced labor > in Germany. In this case his respon sibility is unquestioned." Hughes Denies He Is Retained by N. Y. Traction Interests Washington. April 17.—Charles E. Hughes, in a statement here, denied flatly that he had been retained by New Ycrk traction interests or had I received money from them, as had : been asserted in testimony before a New York legislative inquiry. "I have read the preposterous; story published in the report of the Albany hearing," said Mr. Hughes, "that I had been paid $30,000 by the traction interests to appear at the legislative hearing on the Carson-1 Martin bill.

There is a big difference between the young man of to-day and the young man be fore the war. He is as different in physique as he is in mind. Old styles won't do. They don't have the "spark" for youth triumphant. He has a broader view-point. He's set up straight quicker in thought. He is more alert and confi dent in bearing—broadened and strengthened. There's just one way to justify the prices you pay for clothes. The service and satisfaction they give you. It is this principle that has made Doutrichs such a successful clothing store. Everybody wants service when they buy clothes, there's not "one man in a thousand" who knows the fabrics and quality as well as the merchant from whom he buys. But it's well to chopse your store. There are very few men who go cut seeking "something for nothing, "for there's no hope of getting it these days. When you buy at Doutrichs you pay an honest price enough to guarantee that you will get all you expect.
