ing uneasiness over the rapid devel-
opment of the German policy of conquest
in Finland. The alluring picture of
greater Finland which the Teutons are
dangling before the eyes Of the Finnish
people may deceive the Firms, but not the
Scandinavians. However great the projected
new Finland may become in extent its real
status will be that of a German vassal state.
If any additional evidence to this effect
were needed it is furnished by the st;pula-
tions for direct German control of the
Arctic waters and the entire Murman coast
to the boundary line of Norway.
Reports have it that if Germany wins on
the West front she will Immediately Join
the Firms to conquer as much of Russia as
may be desired fer the new puppet state
Should such an enterprise be undertaken
and succeed, the absorption of the Scandi-
navian countries into the German Empire
would become merely a question of time.
But even a German defeat on the West
front will not remove the menace to their
independence. Unless the "will to victory"
OF the German people is broken and COM

insure a future victory by gaining command

Present indications are that Germany first
will try corruption as means of securing
control of Scandinavia-the same methods
that made her mistress Of Russia and broke
the Italian line on the Isonzo. The Boil
sheviki are doing her work in Scandinavia
as they played her game in Russia and Fin

formed in the Scandinavian countries, where
the apparent success of the Russian social

The Firms promised the assistance Of Fin

OF an easy victory; no armed resistance
from the Swedish army and navy was to be
feared, they said, as the troops had been
won over to the syndcalsts, or "young So

America is responsible for the demo-

into this war. according to Mrs Carrie
Chapman Gait, who spoke last night at

Until America entered the war;" she
asserted, with the slogan ITO make

Concerning the revolution in Ger

when king abdicates in time of

Opposition to Any Policy

More than 1000 Socialists celebrated
the abdication of the Kaiser and the

noon in the StaRCasino at 107th Street
and Park Avenue.
The keynote of addresses by Rose
Pasor Stokes. Judge Jacob Psnken, As
semblyman August Claessens and Aid
crman Algernon Lee was that the peo-
pie Of Germany be allowed to settle
their intrnal problems without inter
vention.
Asserting that as far as she her
self is concerned there was no espion-
age law in this country. Mrs. Stokes
declared that the United States had
inverted an excuse for Intervention in
Russia, but that there can be no ex-
cuse for restoring Germany to the
junkers and the Kaiser"
She demanded that all Socialists
watch carefully to make sure that the
terms Of ar1nistice are not the terms Of
intervention.
1--WE are not permitted to know what
the real terms Of the armistice are to
be-" she said. "This little group of the
supreme command, including Colonel
House, met behind closed doors. Sup
pose the Allies are to take over the
chief forts and the railroads; the Rus

never yield, and neither will we.

and authority Of the Kaiser might de-
fleet public attention from the larger
culpability for which that individual
is but the symbol and tigurehend.
ut may be-" said he, "that the peace
conclave will decide to constitute some
tribunal for the purpose of bringing
to trial and justice those who are re-
sponsiblc for this war and all the
terror and suffering and havoc it has
wrought in its trail. If it did, un-
doubtedly the individual trial of the
Kaiser would be an important item
in the balancing Of the record. But it
would come very far from being the
only item.
Kaiser Not Alone in Guilt
eve must not forget that the Kaiser
is not the only one responsible for
this war. We must not forget that the
Junkers and the landowners, and very
probably the financial interests. too, all
had their powerful share in willing it.
We must not forget that the whole
German people were solidly behind it
and that the Socialists supported it
and uttered no protest. The whole ma
tion was imbued with the doctrine of
force and of the divinity Of the state.
The state can do no wrong That is
dogma have heard seriously
preached by German professors. And
Houston Chamberlain, in tho book that
the Kaiser once characterized as the
greatest book of the age, proclaimed
/ it as the mission of the German people
to destroy the other peoples that they
might set up their own empire of
might and power.
Everywhere in Germany that was
the outlook and belief that prevailed,
that poisoned; the whole nation and

achieve the economic and commercial
! and cultural conquest of the world

world, there can be no tolerance of
Germany as national neighbor, unit

German government against the inva-

troops, it is explained in Berlin that
the crossing of the frontier was de-
signed to keep disorganized and undis-
ciplined Austrian troops from German
territory and that it will not obstruct
the rehabilitation of the Austrian
forces.
Field Marshal von Mackensen's troops,
it is reported. will force their way
through Hungary to Germany with
their arms, despite the injunction by
the Hungarian government that arms
must be discarded when German troops

Would Give German People
First Whack at the Kaiser
Frederic r. Coudert Says Plans for Formal Trial of Wilhelm
Should BE Deferred; That Emperor May Suffer Fate
Similar to That of Charles and Louis XVI

Before we start making plans for a
formal trial of the KAISER" said Fred
eric r. Coudert, in discussing that
suggestion last night, perhaps it
would be- timely to wait and see what
disposition the German people will
make of him.
"They have already secured his abdi-
cation. That, however, does not neces-
sarily mean that they cannot make
plans still more specifically providing
for his future.
"Offhand, at the moment, cannot
recall any precedent for the trial of an
emperor by any foreign power on
charges of public crime. I can, on the
other hand, remember several Instances
where the people of country have at
m appropriate moment passed unmis-
taxable Judgment upon their ruler. The
cases of Charles l of England and Louis
XVI of Franco Immediately come to
mind How can we tell that the Ger
man people, if given few days now,
will not pass similar judgment on their
ruler? At least, it would seem only
fair to give them a chance.
May Do More Than Dethrone
"For after all, we should remember
that the German people have also suf-
fered as a result of the kaiser's sway
and activities. l am inclined to think
that now, in the midst of humiliation
and disaster and disintegration, they
are themselves coming to understand
just wherein and how greatly they
have suffered. In the light Of that
understanding, if they indeed have it.
it would scarcely seem likely that they
would dethrone the Kaiser and then
leave him to wonder loose, as it were
At the same time, although hardly
going so far as to depreciate a trial
of Wilhelm before a duly constituted
tribunal of the world, Mr.. Coudert was
inclined to feel that concentration of
all charges of guilt upon the person

Belgium to Insist
On Indemnity Even
If Germany Splits
Osterreith Says Rep
aration for Barbarities
Must Be Made

Whatever happens to the German
Empire, Belgium, which has suffered
proportionately more than any other
country in the war, will insist upon
an indemnity sufficient to rehabilitate
the down-trodden nation economically
and politically. Belgian officials de-
clared yesterday that Belgium's claim
against Germany would approximate
forty billions cf dollars and in all
probability Belgium will ask that
Luxembourg be AIDED to Belgium terri
tory.
Major Leon Osterrieth, chief of the
Belgian War Commission, said yester-
day that even if Germany is split into
republics Belgium's claim will not be
jeopardized. "The fact that Germany
has oustcd the Kaiser will not lessen
the empires responsibility for the
damage done,' said Major Osterrieth.
What will happen to the Kaiser? I
know what ought to happen to him,
but he probably will adopt Switzerland
or Holland as his permanent refuge"
(The former Kaiser is now in Hol
land.)
Summary Of Demands
Major Osterreith summarized the
various "items," which will appear on
the bill of indemnity to be presented
to Germany.
In occupying all but 800 square
miles of Belgian territory, the German
RI mi
of Belgium's 100000 population.
How many civilians-children women
and old men--were killed is undeter-
mined, but the loss in soldiers is about
! 10000, or 60 per cent of Belgian men
who were in service before or who
went into the army after war began.
Another item which will be pre-
sented will be s4,o00,ooo,00O for fines
and forced loans imposed on Belglans
and for raw materials taken from Bel
| gium by the invading hordes.
| Other damageo suffered by Belgium,
as enumerated by Major Osterreith,
are:
| Damages to cities: Antwerp, with
/ 100000 population, damaged by bonn
bardment; Brussels, with 100000 popu-
+ lation, damaged by the complete Ger
manization Of its civil, government; 7;
Liege, forts destroyed; Dinant, 10000
persons massacred; Namur, Termonde
! and Aerschot, severely damaged.
Railroads and electric railway systems
we're disarranged so that they will
| have to be reconstructed.
industry Crippled
Machinery in factories was taken to
! Germany, so that Germany could use
I it during .he war, and afterward pre-
vent Belgium from resuming in
dustries.
"One reason why our indemnity de-
mand will be high is that Germany
actually took out Of our country all
the money she could GET said Major
Osterreith. "All the banks we're re-
quired to make forced loans. The
loot thus selzed probably will amount
to four or Ave billions of dollars.
$50 far as we can learn the soft
coal mines on the Mons and in the
southwest have not been damaged.
Belgium gets enough coal out of these
mines for her own and for export re-
quirements. 1t has been reported that
the Germans in retreating might food
these mines, but there is no confrma-
ton of this report"
