ALLIES TO INSIST ON PUNISH.
MENT OF FORMER KAISER
AND ASSOCIATES

President Wilson and party, who
sailed on the transport George Wash
ington on Wednesday of last week,
have arrived safely in France, to at
tend the peace conference. They are
expected to reach Paris at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning, and the citizens
are planning on holding the biggest
celebration in the history of Paris.
President Poincaire will meet Presi-
dent Wilson and conduct him to the
mansion set aside for him in the
city.
The progress of the George Wash
/ington across the ocean was without
any untoward incident. The president
kept in touch with affairs in this
country by wireless practically all the
way over. His health was consider
ably improved by the sea voyage. He
has been suffering from a cold, which
affected his voice.
President to Express Views.
President Wilson may spend Christ
mas in England. He also will visit
Italy before returning and he has been
invited to visit Germany. He will at
tend the opening sessions of the peace
conference and express his views on
the issues in which he is interested.
The two principal ones are said to be
concerning the league of nations and
1.-The open sea-" Mr.. Wilson SO far has
not explained his ideas on these sub
jects but that his views will have
much weight is unquestioned.
The British are not inclined to let
20 of their sea supremacy, on the
ground A that its very exlstances de,
mands big navy. Winston Spencer
Churchill, minister of munitions, de-
clared: 1--WE enter the peace confer
ence, with the absolute determination
that no limitation shall be imposed
or our right to maintain our naval
defense.
I'VE do not intend, no matter what
arguments and appeals are addressed
to us, to lend ourselves in any way
to any lettering restrictions which
will prevent the British navy main
tanning it's we'll tried and we'll deserv-
ed supremacy"
To Punish MiIitarists
Undoubtedly the delegates to the
conference will decide the fate of the
former kaiser and his fellow conspira-
tors. The Allies already have asked
Holland to turn over William Hohen-
zollern and it is reported Holland is
ready to do so but asks it be permitted
to intern him in one of its West In
dian colonies Lloyd George and other
British authorities have declared that
the leaders of German militarism must
be punished and the Central Powers
made to pay to the last cent for the
damages they have done.
The crown prince is quoted as say
ing his father "is broken man. and
he has been sufficiently punished,
There apparently is movement on
foot to spare the former kaiser as
much as possible and the attempt
made to put the blame for the war
on others. Undoubtedly all these points
will be discussed at the conference.
