 Besides, it is not proposed to punish the kai;er alcne There are others too, who will be placed on trial but he is the chief because most high ly criminal.
 "1The one argument against doing what we can to bring this arch crimi- nal to justice, is that at present he Is mean and contemptible figure, hid ing his head from the ruin he brought on his country and that if we pros- ecute him, we may somewhat impart dignity to him.

 AbdfcatiOn a Surprise. The formal abdication Of ,ne Ger man emperor caused surprise 'n Eng land. It had been supposed on the strength of the announcement made by Prince Maximilian ox Baden, while chancellor, and the reports of the Berlin Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's delegates that William Hohenzollern had aybdicated before he left Germany for Holland.
 The abdication of the former Ger man crown prince was accepted here as a fact on the same basis but it is now believed that Frederick William has not relinquished his claim to the throne. The eX-emperor's pronuncla- mento speaks for himself only
 The Paris Petit Journal says 1t Is convinced that the associated powers
 will now demand the formal abdica- tion of Frederick William, the former German crown prince.
 Bavaria will open negotiations for separate peace with the entente al- lies, according to an Exchange Tele- 'graph dispatch from Zurich which adds that the rupture between the governments of Berlin and Munich is now complete.
 The government of Germany is sup ported by Field Marshal von linden
 burg, who placed the army at it's dis posal, and refuses to resign or to dis coalition cabinet, or Dr. Matthias Erz- berger.
