the crimes of the tile have de do- served Whether he will be beable able to accomplish this or even will ivill attempt It remains to be seen The Time president has hns not taken Into his confidence the congress congress con con- gress or the people of America possibly possibly pos pos- sibly because he lie could not guess prior to conferences w with th the representatives of ot the entente nations how f r he hp I might dare to go In III the wa way of human human- They ur are willing and und eager to confer with him hin on all mutters matters and doubtless will defer to his Judgment in many things tImings but they have their own very certain Ideas as to the tre treatment treat treat- t. t ment meat that t should be accorded the time German Ger Ocr man nation and p people ople On One of or these ideas dens Is that the ex ex- kaiser must be put Il on trial for murder and If found guilty tile guilty the the If might as os aswell aswell well be when when must must be adequately punished The be best t legal authorities ot of England and France agree that Wil Wil- liam can be extradited from Holland and there is no doubt that In any event enough pressure could be brought to induce the Dutch to give gho him up From the beginning of ot the war the time English and French have ha determined de de- de- de that William should ultimate ly y be brought to Justice person

hc has not yet ct renounced hI his rights to the throne may also be bc put on trial He In his Dutch Datch retreat has bas been telling how he lie and his fa father ther were forced Into all nIl their outrageous actions by the military clique and Bethmann He IIo also tries to shirt shift to others the time blame for tor the ter ter- rifle defeats his army urmy sustained ea Another fixed Intention of ot the time entente en en- tente powers power Is to compel Germany to pay to the limit of ot her capacity Her ability t to make financial reparation for Cor the damage her armies have done Is 15 undoubted The measures to be adopt ed d by the time allies allIe are yet et unsettled Germanys Germanys Germany's Ger Ger- many's state-owned state mineral and potash deposits anti and railways alone are ora worth vastly more than the claims of the allies will amount to null and It f is not unlikely that lint those will be he seized In mOlle money the tIme country Is- Is t almost as us rich i n It it was before bore t time the l Will war I This question of reparation brings up the matter of a n commercial ho boycott Many Inny authorities assert that the wn way Germany cnn can pay will be b by obtaining ob ot- raw materials from the countries coun tries time she he has hns been heen fighting and selling her imer products in iii their theli markets Very likely the tIme pence peace conference will declare against the boycott Idea lica but It not be bc so easy to persuade the peoples of oC the allied nations to buy German made goods Most of them would prefer pre lire fer to see Germany Gell reduced to the po position position po- po she has ned earned for herself to have such money as can cnn be taken from frow her and md to let the rest of the financial I reparation go o h by th time
