the law has no concern. It is a poli-J
tical "act pure and simple. Thej
charge against the former Kaiser is j
i
drawn with that acute vagueness of,
which only the modern politician j

and unadaptable to any conceivable

There is no question about the|
general belief in ihe former Kaiser's j
biood-guiltiness or his meriting: any
punishment that cau be inflicted,
after exhausted research, all the interallied
legal pundits assembled
in Paris were unable to discover
any legal means of getting him to

!
Holland has intimated she can;
surrender him only on proof of an.
extradiiak-c offense, which these;
pundits have confessed themselves J
unable to formulate. There is au-j
thor!t" stating, moreover, that Holland,
when formally sounded about1
her attitude informed Great Britain;
it would really be doing the Allies a ,
service to refuse to give him up.

The view is widespread here,
but still, of course, as Great Britain
aided France in inserting the treaty
she is bound to go through the mot-j
ions of preparing for an eventuality
which is most unlikkely to j
arise. No decision has been reachedjs
and no serious governmental con-'*
sideration has been given to the
trial. England, France and Belgium'
each regards its claims as unanswerable.
On the assumption that the deci-j
sion will be given for England, spec-j
ulation busies itself some time ago
between -the conflicting claims of
London, as the capital of the British
Empire and as the most convenient!
place for witnesses from the Continent
and Scapa Flow, for the dramatic
effect of finishing the Kaiser o ?]
the stage where his fleet made itjJ
final appearence. Here British law
officers would ,of course,conduct the |
prosecution before a tribunal of five;
judges, whose personality has not'
even been suggested yet, although it]
is believed Earl Reading's claim asj
Lord Chief Justice to represent Eng-i
land could not be gainsaid.
It is pointed out that the witnesses j
would not all be on one side, and
that, if the former Kaiser chose to!
summon,, for instance ,his first cou-i
sin, King George, respecting thei^
personal communications, he would!
not well be refused. j
Supposing that after prolonged:
diplomatic interchanges ,iionanu ga"e
him up, the Hohenzoilern wouldi
need months and months to prepare
ins defense, to at a reasonable computation
,his trial could not begin;
much before 18 months, and no one;
can foresee how European condit-j
ions.may have changed in that per-1
iod.
KEEP THE BALL ROLLING. '
The past society week in Abbeville
has proven so pleasant and so successful
it has been decided to continue
the plan until every one who
attended parties may have a return
party. Those who were timid or unwilling
to go into the scheme at first,
but who now see how simple the plan
is may have a party and do their
share to help raise money for the
hospital.
