Public opinion hefv is divided.
High circles apparently are almost
unanimously Wilsonian in their atti-
tude. The majority OF the masses
seemingly rebel at the escape OF the
former kaiser, who was regarded as
the principal artery of war and the
murderer Of 20,O00000. These are IN
favor of an International high court
to pass Judgment on his case. They
oppose Punishment as tending to Ma
noleonize him as a hero, to which ne
is not worthy. Others declare the
kaiser and crown prince were mari
onettes in the hands of the militar-
lists and kings of commerce, who are
the ones responsible for the war.
They contend that, If possible. these
ringleaders also should be haled be-
| fore an international court so that
something like justice might be
achieved.
The opinion is unanimous that the
allies have hard jobs in fixing Ger
many so that no one man or Clique
can make war again and at the same
time arresting famine, so far as
circumstances permit. by holding out
a helping hand to Thoroughly peat
