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 not a word of!
truth in it: 1 have not been retained j
by the traction interests and I have
not received a dollar front them." !

i TO BE BATTLED
I
, Loss of *633,000 a Year in
Pennsylvania Last Year
Causes War
dertaken in the
IH&BtJIUOL check the spread
of hog cholera
peared In virulent
form in several parts of the State
and which last year caused a loss of
$655,000 to the hog raisers of Penn
sylvania at the very time that there
was a world wide demand for fats
and hog products. The campaign
\> ill be mainly of an educational
nature and in addition to agents of
of the State, the co-operation of
National authorities, county farm
bureau men. all veterinarians, far
mers, hog raisers and shippers will
be enlisted.
"At the outset of this year we had
; 1.291.000 hogs in Pennsylvania ac
cording to National authorities and
jlast year we lost 24.537 from hog
cholera, according to Washington
authorities. If that is so we have
■ got to move quickly in Pennsylvania,
said the secretary. "If we grant
j that the Federal estimate is correct
; that means we lost $655,000 in a year
i from a preventable disease. The
knowledge of how to control hog
I cholera is at hand. The State will
be called upon to help."
If necessary State Veterinarian
Marshall will establish quarantine' to
prevent shipments and even public
hog sales until the disease is under
control. The main centers are Cuntb
; erland and Lehigh valleys, the coun
j ties where the disease is reported
I being Adams, Berks. Bucks. Carbon,
j Chester, Cumberland. Dauphin. Dela
ware. Franklin. Lancaster. Lebanon,
Lehigh. Montgomery. Monroe. North
ampton Schuylkill and York with
I some in Philadelphia. The terri-
I tory contains more than a third of
' the hogs in the whole State.
It is the opinion of men at the
j Capitol who have been studying the
• situation, that a good percentage of
the infection comes from hogs ship
• ped tc<public sales without being ex
amined. recognized as an old source
of spreading the disease, but difli
' ettlt.v to handle because of the lack
of co-operation from the public and
even from farmers who buy at such
sales.
A series of conferences on the
subject will be held and it is hoped
by active assistance from farm bu-
J reaus and veterinarians to get the
movement for precaution well spread
' about.

The Change In Men
Should be reflected it their
Clothes. 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. If you want complete and lasting satisfaction
