REBEL LEADER IN SOUTHAFRICA, LIABLE TO TREASON DEATfI PENALTY London, Dec. 4, 2.50 A. M. —Tht» question as to what punishment should be inflicted on General Christian De Wet, the rebel leader in South Africa, recently captured, is recognized in Eng land as one of great importance. Mar tial law is in operation in the Union of South Africa and the death penalty for treason would be within the possi bilities. The government proclamation calling upon rebels to lay down their arms offered amnesty, except to those who had taken a prominent part in the rebellion. Cape Town messages say that the capture of Re Wet relieves the govern ment of great anxiety. The rising in the Orange Free State at one time threatened to be formidable because of General De Wet's military prestige, but his capture is believed to have ended it. The happenings at one town give an illustration of the lengths to which the rebellion might have gone. Five hun dred farmers were comn;andeered to de fend the town, but a majority of them went over to the rebels and looted the place they had been ealled upon to de fend. But for the introduction of motors into warfare, De Wet's old-time tactics might have enabled him to dodge his ei f mies and worry them indefinitely. The Johannesburg Motor organ ized a force undfr Captain Bullock, whieQi undertook the pursuit and Gen eral De Wet's horsemen were run to earth by the. superior speed of the mo tors. . . London, Dec,. 4. —General Christian De Wet's fate will !be decided by the South African government, but the de mand is being raised in the Unionist press that he shall be made to suffer the rcibel's fate. The ''Pall Mall Ga zette" savs: "His signature to the treaty of Ve-1 reeniging pledged his loyalty to the flag in exchange for clemency. He has shown ingratitude for the generosity of the empire, has basely broken his own engagement and done South Africa the injury of iene\ving those ravages of warfare from which she ha-; taken so long to recover. There can be no pity for his fall." The "St. James Gazette" sava: "The charitable must suppose he was radically upset by the paralytic seizure he suffered a year or two ago. To condone his conduct on these considera tions -would be foolish. A traitor is a traitor." The "Globe" declares: "It is right to say that De Wet's life is forfeit and we trust lie will re ceive due punishment for his treach ery." TYPHOID FEVER IN BELGIAN ARMY VIGOROUSLY ATTACKED London, Dec. 4, 4.29 A. M.—The British medical authorities are vigor ously attacking the problem of a ty phoid outbreak in the Belgian army. ■Orders have been issiied assigning a ship for duty as a floating hospital in the harbor of Calais. To-day Major Stedroan, who is in charge of the anti-typhoid campaign, will select a site in Calais for an isola tion hospital on land. As soon as pos sible this equipment will be supple mented by the erection of a number of ■waterproof shelters as isolation units. The floating hospital will foe supple mented iby a number of barges. A thorough inquiry is in progress re garding the water supply and sanita tion with a view of stamping out the source of the epidemic. Asks Funds for Prisoners Washington, Dec. 4.—An appeal for funds for German and Auutro-HungaT van war prisoners in Siberia Who are said to be suffering greaitlv, was for warded to 'tlve Foreign Office at Vienna yesterday by tlhe Stale Department ait the request of the eirtbassy here. No official report has came to the United States as to the con dition in 'tlhe Siberia camps.

WAR MAKES CENI TRADE THE'LOWEST FOR YEARS New York, Deo. 4.—Because of the war the gem imports to the United States for 1914 will be the smallest in many years. According to an estimate made by a Maiden Lane authority, they svill not reaah $20,000,000 —less than ore-half of the total in a normal year, figures compiled by William B. Tread well, jewelry examiner at the Apprais ers Stores in this city, show that the gem imports foi the first eleven months at the port of New York totalled only $16,208,679. It is estimated that j about four-fifths of the receipts for the entire country come through this pert. The total imports for 1913 reached $46,137,325, and in 1912 the total was $40,571,543. Gem cutting is practically at a standstill in Amsterdam and Antwerp, the two big European centers of this industry. All of the Antwerp cutters are in the army and the cutting shops of Amsterdam are closed because no rough material can bo obtained from the diamond syndicate in London, whicfli receives its supply from the Af rican mines, where operations have ibeen discontinued. As a result of these conditions the gem imports during November were only $1,039,213 The cut gems were valued at $855,010 and the uncut gems, dutiable at 10 per cent, under the new tariff, reached $169,913. The uDcut materia! free of duty, which is mostly miners' and glaziers' diamonds, usod in the arts and crafts, was valued at $14,308. In Octdber the total im ports were only $432,729, and in Sep tember they were $584,334. Prior to that time the receipts <vere niore than $1,000,000 in each month. Since the war began officials of the American Jewelers' Protective 'Asso ciation have learned that foreign deal ers have been offering diamonds in the Now York market that had been im ported in bond and have offered to take possible buyers to bonded ware houses to see the gems. In view of the advantages thus obtained by foreign dealers over domestic importers and be cause there was a possibility of veiling big smuggling operations the mutter was put before the Treasury Depart ment and it will refuse hereafter to permit prospective buyers to inspect gems in bond. Ludwig Nissen, president of the American Jewelers' Protective Aeso- I ciation, said regarding recent stories that ibecause of the European war New ! York may become the center of the j world's precious stone trade that ''such i a condition is impossible because the • duty on cut and uneut gems would pro i hibit it." FRENCH GOVERNMENT GOING BACK TO PARIS DECEMBER 22 Paris, Dee. 4.—The Frer.'di Parlia ment has boon called to meet in extra ordinary sesfiion ait Paris on December 22. The mear.'bers of the French Cab inet are to leave Bordeaux next week for this city, where I'hey 'Will put them selves at the disposition of tihe Finance committee of the Chamber of Deputies.

HOTELS HOLD THE WOUNDED: OFFICERS ARE CONSPICUOUS London, Dec. 4.—Although it is weflll known that the guards anil regiments have suffered heavy losses, the fact was conclusively illustrated huJt night, when an official of a woll-known hotel, speak ing to some American guests who had remarked on t'he number of wounded officers in tihe dining room, takl: "By actual count I know that thirty officers of the guards who regularly dined here have 'been killed." Although wounded officers appear only in civilian clothes, they can easily 'be dis'tinguished in a dining room be , cause of bandaged heads or arms in slings. PRINCE OF WALES. WITH THE ARMY. HAS OBTAINED DEAREST WISH OF HEART London, Dee. 4, 4.25 A. M. —"The Prince of Wales has at last obtained the dearest wish of his heart and is present with the army. He has won golden opinions," says the military ex pert of the "Times" in a description of the life at General French's headquar ters. "The personality of this slight and almost fragile-looking Prince was but little known to the army until he joined it and now that it is becoming known it is a revelation. He is among the keen est and hardest soldiers in the army, lie walks six miles before breakfast every morning, drives his own car and spends every moment of the working day in acquainting himself with the situation ol' the troops nad the services of the army. "Only last week he occupied a fitting cradle for a prince, a house rocking and shaking day and night under the ■constant detonations of bombardments, and has visited the trenches, including those of the Indian army. It will be difficult to keep him out of the firing line of his grenadiers, and a more zeal ous, indefatigable young officer does not serve with the King's troops." The writer says that, while it is nec essary for the commander of an army to work in the quiet lieadquartors be hind the army, often General French cannot fee prevented from dashing along the road under heavy fire to visit dis tant troops and going into the trenches to get a close view of the infantry po sitions.

Deputy Lalbriola, a prominent mem ber, summarized his opinion of the sit ting 'by saying that "one word more from Salandra would have meant a declaration of war." Others think that the phrase of the Premier regarding the aspirations of Italy was misunderstood and that he might instead have alludeji to tlie ex istence of an Italo-Austrian agreement delimitating the ItaJian frontier 'by the pcaret'ul annexation of a portion of the province of Trent.
