Extraditing an Emperor.

The world will watch with deep interest the
progress of the law in its efforts to overhaul
William Hohenzollern, emperor of Germany
Demand for his extradition has been made by
the governments of England and France on the
Dutch government, the latter being inclined to
interpose some obstacles because of the posi-
bic concern of Germany in the case Offenses
ordinarily extraditable are charged against the
man sought as principal to grave crimes, but
his character as head of great government is
assumed to give him peculiar status. And this
emphasizes another feature of the kaser's pre-
dicament which should not be lost sight Of
Under the German constitution he is heredi-
tary head of the empire This office he has re-
nounced, but his remuneration may be recalled
at any time until the Germans have formally
changed the character and form of their gov
eminent. Great Britain still regards the kaiser
as the head of the German empire. In this
light the attitude of the Dutch may be seen
more clearly. They also look upon William
Hohenzolern as head of nation with whom
they are at peace, temporarily domiciled within
their country. To surrender him for trial at the
behest of other countries is not to be lightly
approached. Plain William Hohenzollern might
be handed over without much fuss, but the
kaiser is different proposition.
1t is quite likely, too, that those who are
anxious to see justice done will want to see the
kaiser tried as such, and not as a mere individ-
ual. His crimes were committed as head of an
organized government, and as such he should
be brought to bar. 1t is against Kaiser Will

Delays On Casually Reports

1t is difficult to find an excuse for the delays
in casualty reports. We are not referring par
ticularly to the practice of mailing the lists
many days in advance of date when they can
be simultaneously published in all parts of the
nation, although if the newspapers had their
way the lists would be transmitted by telegraph
as news of vital Importance. Our complaint is
the delay in direct notification of the nearest
relatives. There is local case where soldier
died of pneumonia October and the telegram
announcing the fact did not reach his nearest
relative until November 10. 1t is easy to see
how there might be delay in getting battle cas-
ualtes with sufficient accuracy to warrant their
report, but it is incomprehensble how hospi-
tai death should remain so long unreported.
Hospitals have accurate records and they make
daily reports. With proper attention the death
should have been reported by cable to the War
department within few hours after it occurred
and, with proper system there, the notification
should have been telegraphed Immediately to
the nearest relative.
reporting casualties but they could have been
avoided by ordinary attention, without necessi-
tating great delay. There is no newspaper or
news-gathering agency that would not furnish
the military authorities with a system for max
ing prompt, accurate reports if the trouble is
lack of system. But whether the fault is in the
system or in neglect to use the system properly,
it should be corrected, for the sake of the mil
lions of Americans who are made to suffer need
less anxiety through knowledge that there is
such a long delay in reporting casualties-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
