be accorded accorded th the German German German Ger Ger- man nation and people people One of these Ideas is Is' that the er- er must kalser-must be put on trial for murder and If It found guilty the guilty the if might as aswell aswell well be when when must must be adequately punished The best legal legai authorities of England and France agree that William Wil WH- liam can cnn be extradited

Intention of the entente entente entente en en- tente powers Is Germany to pay to the limit of her capacity Her lIer J ability to make financial reparation for tor forthe the damage her armies have done dono i 1 Is undoubted The measures to b be adopted adopt 1 ed by the allies are yet unsettled Germanys Germany's Germanys Germany's Ger Ger- many's state-owned state mineral coal and potash deposits and ran railways alone aro are worth vastly more than the claims of the allies will amount to and It Is Ls not unlikely that those will vill be seized In money the country 1 Is hi almost as rich as aa It was before the tho war 6 J S 'S 1 Z This This Th'S question of ot reparation brings gs up the matter of ot boycott Many authorities assert that the only way ny Germany can cnn pay jay will be e by obtaining ob ob- tah taming raw materials from the countries countries coun- coun tries sh she has fins been fighting and s T selling her ier- ier products In their markets market Very likely the peace pence conference will declare against the boycott Idea but It will not be beo so easy to persuade the peoples of the allied nations to buy German made goods Most 1 bf of f them would prefer preter pre pre- fer ter to o s see e Germany reduced to the p position po sh she has Itis earned for herself to have such money as can be taken from h her r and to let th the rest of the financial r reparation p ration go by the board Au Austria too Is making the loud wall vail for raw materials and markets Dr Franz Klein who will represent at the pea peace e conference the so-called
