(British Wire-, less Service). Responsibility for punishing the former German emper or and other high German officials for crimes committed during the war must rest with governments and not with jurists, according to the Mar quis of Crewe, former secretary of state for the colonies; in a letter pub llshd in the Westminster Gazette. "The atrocities in Belgium, the ill treatment of prisoners and the exe cutions of Capt. Fryatt and Miss Edith Cavell are acts that can be brought home to the individual per sons concerned and punishment can be inflicted by tribunals.
