WILLIAM MUST FACE
TR|AL,sAYs PREMIER
DECLARES KAISER MUST BE
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR
HIS CRIMES.
Lloyd George, in Statement OF His
Policies, Pledges British influence
at Peace Conference to See That
Justice Is Melted Out

I,Ondon-In the detailed statement
of his policy, issued by Premier Lloyd
George, calling for the trial ana pun
ishment of the men responsible for the
war. however high their place, he
pledged the entire influence OF the
British government ut the peace con-
ference to see that justice was done.
In declaring for the expulsion and eX-
clusion of all enemy aliens from Bit
ish soil, the premier pointed out that
a considerable proportion OF enemy
residents in the United Kingdom DUR
ing the war had abused British hospl-
talitx and thus had forfeited their
claim to remain.
In his statement, Lloyd George said !:
1.-THE kaiser mist be prosecuted.
The war was hideOus, abOminable
crime, a crime which has sent mil
lions of the best young men OF Europe
to death and mutilation and has
plunged myriads of homes into desola'
ton.
"Is no one responsible? Is no one to
be called to account? Is there to be
no punishment? Surely that is neither
Gods justice nor mans. The men re-
sponsible for this outrage on the hui
man race must not be let off because
their heads were crowned when they
perpetrated the deed.
"The British government referred
the question of the criminal culpa'
bility of the kaiser and his accom-
blices to their law officers some weeks
agO. They have unanimously come to
the conclusion that the kaiser and his
accomplices ought to be tried by m
international court. They also re
ported strongly in favor Of the punish
ment of those guilty Of murder on the
high seas and the abOminable Ill
treatment of prisoners"

he will learn that the alignment of a
plane is one of the most important
things about his work. BY this time
he will have learned what tools to use
in working about an airplane and what
tools not to use; how to make wire
loops and how not to make them. He
will know what makes an airplane fly,
that the pilots life is in the hands of
the mechanic, because upon the proper
and careful rigging Of an airplane de-
ponds it's air wOrthiness. He will also
learn about propellers, why, when they
rotate in the air, they travel forward.
and he will learn how to take care Of
them and to repair them. Next he will
learn something about the motive pow
er, the heart of the airplane, what

Get Field Training.
Then, after about two and One-half
months of this work, comes the day
to which all mechanics look forward,
the day when the actual field work of
keeping the ships in the air" begins.
There are flying officers at each of the
mechanics schools. They are there
for the purpose of flying the planes
which the. mechanics work on, in order
that the fighting service squadrons at
the front may be simulated and that
the mechanics may be given their final
training. The airplane mechanic is
assigned to theoretical service squad
ron, and that squadron in connection
with the school and remains there for
two weeks doing nothing but the work
in which he has been trained. At Z
O'Clock in the morning all the ships
which are to be flown that day land
his will be one of them) are taken
from the hangers and assembled, ready
for their pilots. The ship of our me-
chanic Is ready, his pilot comes and
gives 1t brief inspection, knowing that
the mechanic will have done his duty
well, straps himself in, and after test
ing out his motor for minute or two,
signals that he is ready and takes the
air. After short flight, he alights
with the report, perhaps, that the ship
is flying with one wing down, or some
other defect. The trouble Is then
diagnosed and remedied and soon the
pilot is again in the air. this time with
the ship flying perfectly.
Two weeks of this work and the
mechanic will probably have demon
strated to his instructors that his
training Is completed. He Is gradu
ated as highly trained mechanic in
perhaps, the most delicate Of trades
and Is sent out to take his part In
1.-THE struggle. He will soon find him
self at one Of the flying fields, carry
Ing on the duties In which he has beer
trained, and then In two or three
months the long anticipated day viii
arrive when he will be passed as fl
for regular service. He will then b,
