Von Bethmann-Hollweg
Asks Trial in Place Kasier
Berlto, June 28.—Dr. Theobald Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, former TOerman
chancellor, has formally asked the al
lied and associated powers to place
him on trial instead of the former em-
narnr. The former chancellor says
' that he assumes responsibility for the
acts of Germany during his period of
,office and places himself at the dis
posal of the allies.
The request of the former chancel
lor was made on June 25 in a com
munication to Premier Clemenceau,
■pseeident of the conference.—Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, it is said, desired
to take this step on May 20 but re
frained at that time on the expressed
wish of the German government. The
communication asks Premier Clemen
ceau to bring the following document
to the knowledge of the allied and
associated powers:
“In article 227 of the peace terms,
the allied and associated powers pub
licly arraign his majesty, William II
of Hohenzollern, former German em-
peror, for a supreme offense against
internationaFmoranty lind the "SEfic-
tity of treaties. At the sapae time
they announced their resolve to ad
dress a request to the government of
-the Ntherlands for the surrender of
the former emperor for purpose of
trial. '
“With eference thereto, I take the
liberty of addressing a request to the
powers to let the projected proceed
ings against bis majesty, the emperor,
be taken against me. For this object
I hereby place myself at ttfe disposal
of the allied and associated powers.
“As former German imperial chan
cellor, I bear for my period of office
sole responsibility, as regulated in the
German constitution for the political
acts of the emperior. I believe I may
deduce therefrom the claim that the
reckoning which the allied and asso
rted powers desire to demand for
these acts shall be demanded solely
of me.
“Being convinced that the allied
and associated powers will not deny
international respect to the legal po
sition fixed by public constitutional
law, I may express the hope that they
will be inclined to yield to my urgent
request. (Signed*
“Von Bethmann-Hollweg.

Von Bethmann-Hollweg was
German chancellor from 1909 to July
14, 1917. Ije succeeded Prince Von
Buelow.
The definition of the treaty guaran
teeing the neutrality of Belglurif^ts
a “scrap of paper” was made by Von
Bethmann-Hollweg in an address to
the Reichstag shortly after the be
ginning of the war. The former
chancellor haff blamed the militarist
for starting the war, while he, in turn,
has been blamed.
last February, the former chancel
lor offered to go before a tribunal to
give an accounting for his steward
ship as chancellor. It was announced
in Berlin on May 27 that Von Beth
mann-Hollweg would be among those
who would be tried by the German
court which would investigate respon
sibility for the loss of the war by Ger
many.
He has been mentioned several
times as among those who might be
tried by the allies for political of
fenses in connection with the origin
of the war.
Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg is 62
years old. Before coming to be chan
cellor he was Prussian minister of
the interior and imperial treasurer
and vice-chancellor. ^ He held the
rank of lieutenant in the German
army. Since his retirement from of
fice, the former chancellor has been
^living at Hobenflhow, his estate near
Hberswalde, 27 miles pprth of Berlin.

There is just one thing to do—let go

tumble out of the clouds. You may
come out finding your, head straight

flatten out and travel on.
“You do not realize that you are up

falling out of the clouds—after your

happened to his machine, but as soon

what has occurred and then never for

New York, June ^8.—-Flyllng upside
uown in a bank of clouds or fog, as
Captain Alcock and Lieutenant Brown
found themselves doing in their
journey across the ocean, is not at all
uncommon or particularly dangeroqs.
Hundreds of the aviators who were
serving on the western front in the
allied armies experienced this sensa
tion time and again in both their scout
ing and bombing work.
Acorobatic flyers think nothing of It.
It becomes dangerous only when they
ai*e caught in a bank close to earth.
As an American acrobatic flyer who
was serving In the British army on
the Flanders front explained at the
beginning of the last Belglan-Britlsh
drive;
“It’s as easy as falling off a log.”
He was dwelling romantically on the
beauties of flying around in a cloud
bank.
“Every once in a while," he explain
ed, “when, you are fifteen or eighteen
thousand feet up, you will run into a
great pile of fleecy cloudsh that turns
