Young Socialists Find he Really
Didn't Instigate Great War.
Kaiser wilhelm was acquitted Of con-
spiraey to instigste the great European
war before the "Hogg Court" where he
was tried. under auspices Of the Young
Peoples Socialist League, Apollo Hall,
1726 North Broad street, last night
Both the prosecution, ably represented
by Meyer Snyder. and the defense, well
conducted by Isaac Paul, tried their best,
the first to hang the Kaiser, and the
other to have him acquitted on the allbi
that he was defending culture and civill-
zatlon."
For while II looked bad for the Kaiser,
as Andrew Barnegle," the Gear OF Rus
sia, and a Red Cross nurse gave some
tery damaging testimony against him.
His stock rose considerably, however,
when the Sultan of Turkey and Mr.. VIII
liam Jennings Grapejuice testified in his
behalf. But what seemed to influence
the court" most In the Kalser's favor
was his own testimony.
So bitter and emotional did the trial
appear at certain stages that at one point
the Car of Russia and the Kaiser al
most came to a sword duel At another
juncture, with the appearance Of tho
Sultan, the love scene enacted between
the latter and the Kaiser detained the
proceedings for short interval
There was perfect silence In the court
room as the court clerk called the court
to order and announced. THE World vs..
The Kaiser"
The associate judges were a cannibal,
appointed to the position for tho reason
that, being a savage, and. therefore. un-
tafntnH h1r he ~ ntNfilI Inn,
he was most competent to Judge the
Kaiser; a deaf. dumb and blind Judge,
occupying the exalted position because
being blind he typified Justice" China
man, and wild Indian, recognized In every
way as superior IN their methods to those
who employ civilized warfare. The cam
nlbais qualification also lay in the fact
that he did not speak English.
Il particularly am pleased with the
blind judge" said the attorney for the
prosecution, Meyer Snyder. "I hope that
those judges who are not blind will try
to overcome the difficulty by using their
intelligence"
The Gar of Russia, Samuel Packman
claimed, was dragged into the war
against his will" He gave a detailed
account of Russian culture, with the evil
dent intention to prove that Slav culture
was superior to the German kultur. 'As
evidence, the Gear pointed to what he has
done for the Jews in the past and what
he has promised to do for them in the
future. He denied that he ordered any
mobilization before the Kaiser declared
war, saying that he called his soldiers
for mere target practice. AS another evil
dence of Russian culture. he gave the
fact that there are no laws in Russia
which makes cleanliness compulsory"
The attorney for the defense scored an
important point when he proved that "the
Kaiser was the only man who was able
to drive Russia, France and England into
an alley"
The Kaiser on the witness stand, |
claimed that 'the alley bunch were try
ing to block my almost successful work |
of civilizing the whole world" He be- |
came very defiant and exclaimed, But I
am going to do 1t II have to lick the |
whole gang" German kultur," said the |
Kaiser, was the best of all. 1t is the |
mother Of necessity and the father of all |
desires"
The Sultan, Martin Hartogs, defended |
the Kaiser ably, through an interpreter,
Professor Bubenkratzer.
