Show Making a Martyr of Wilhelm a Mistake BERLIN, Feb. 4 Carl Kautsky, who Investigated the causes leading to the war, writes Jn the Berlin Volks Zei-tung: Zei-tung: "The passing of sentence on Wil- holm (ihe former German emperor) beforo an enemy court would not alleviate al-leviate the danger of a counter revolution, revo-lution, but would add to it. Wilhelm would be made a martyr In the eyes of the German public to whom he would appear as a man sentenced, not &r this crime or that, but for being a German. His popularity would suddenly sud-denly soar upward tremendously and ho might become a dangerous pretender, pre-tender, in opposition to the German republic," Herr Kautsky is of the opinion that tho entente powers should not go be-yond be-yond coercing Holland into appointing a residence for the Gorman emperor on some island where conspiracies with his German friends would bo very difficult. |
