Kstatllshnient of a grand court of allied rep resentatives, civil and military, for the purpose of trying those guilty of crimes during the war, la advocated by Sir Frederick Edward Smith, the British attomey-ieneral, in an interview in the Daily Express. Sir Frederick, who Is an authority on International law, urges that Hie jurisdiction of such a court apply especially, although not exclusive ly, to those caught red-liRiidod, or observed committing crimes. He contends thnt the guilty parties must not bo allowed to shift the blame upon their superiors, us otherwise every war criminal among the Ger mans might shufflo the entire responsibility upon the emperor. Moreover, the attorney-general argues, the gulltv persons must not ba permitted to put themselves outside the Jurisdiction of the court, and the nurrender of those not in allied custody ahould he demanded under the peace terms. The court would bo empowered to inflict such punishments as death and penal servitude, and also to exact compensation for injury to persons or destruction of property.

The Grand place, with the beautiful Hotel de Villa, waa Intaot except for trifling marks from stray sheila. Little groups of civilians collected throughout the city, some viewing the damsge helplessly, others trying to re establish their homes. Little children were to be seen playing In the ruined streets with dead Oermnas unnoticed beside them. Their joy at their deliv erance was too great to take in the tragedy about them.

We would have utilized the winter to reorganizing and regrouping our forces, while our diplomat would have entered Into negotiations that would surely have terminated In a favorable peace for us. "The abandonment of the Alsace Lorraine territory, the evacuation of Russian territory and the creation of a Polish kingdom nre equivalent to the ruin of Germany, taking from us the raw materials Of Alsace-Lorraine which are Indespensable to our Industries and the markets that we aimed to create In the east. . "In consequence there will be a stop page of a great part of our Industries for several years, an Impoverlahment of the working class. Interior trouble, separations nd a complete upheaval. "Than our enemies will have what they have desired the complete annihi lation of Germany. That would be a peace due to Hcheldemann. "We thought our present retreat would end upon a position chosen by us; that the war would finally terminate by the succes of our arm at some part of the front with the aid of our new tank and would bring about a conciliatory ra favorable To us."
