Geneva, July 25.?According to French papers arriving here the allies are as firmly determined as ever to capture the German emperor and to incarcerate him for life on the island of St Helena where Napoleon I ended his career as a prisoner. The Petit Provencal says: "The plan to capture the Kaiser has never been given up by England and France, although this aim of the war has not been mentioned by the press during the last 12 or 16 months. The fate of the unspeakable chief of the Huns, this beastly modern Atllla, will probably be decided before the end of the present year. If he can not be caught In the field when the remnants of his shattered armies are extermin? ated by the great offensive of the al? lies, his surrender by his people will be the first peace condition. The pris? on in which he will have to spend the rest of his miserable life has long been prepared by the British govern? ment on St Helena. His quarters there will be far less comfortable than thorn of Napoleon were. His oldest son and heir, the crown prince, will be executed, with Field Marshal von Hin denburg, Admiral von Tlrpltz, the Bavarian crown prince, Field Marshal von Mackensen, General von Kluck and a number of the other beasts who are commanding the Boche armies."
