fiERMANS PLAN
LONDON. Feb. 20.——The German
Government is rushing preparations
to try Germans accused of violations
of the laws of War, and examination
of witnesses and arguments will be-
gin next week, according to a Berlin
dispatch to the Central News. Plead-
ings will open before the Leipzig com-t
within the next month, it is said.
Germany’s reply to the latestmllied
note relative to the trial of Germans
accused of war crimes will point out'
issues upon which greater clearness
is deSirable, according to a decision
réached by the German Cabinet on
\V'ednesday, says 9. Berlin disipatch to
the Exchange Telegraph Company.
It. will be contended. the dispatch
states, that accusations against sev-
eral persons notably Field Marshal
van Hindenburg. General ,Ludenorff
and Omiral van Tirpitz. are too gen—
eral. NeWspn’pers at. Barnum
