LET THE GERMANS
 BE REPRESENTED
By EDWARD MARSHALL

London, December 7.--(Special Cable to The Age Herald. .)-Ha1l Caine in the fol- lowing interview voices the sentiments of the best thinkers in the allied coun- tries.
 Britons who have suffered, Frenchmen who have suffered, Italians who have suffered-these are not ready to forgive the Kaiser because he has surrended
 They want him punished. They want him very dreadfully punished.
 Hall Caine, perhaps more than any other individual who is at liberty to speak at this moment full of obviously necessary speech restrictions, is quali- fled to do so for the people of the al- lies as a whole and the fact that from the wars beginning he has worked in close concert with the British govern ment setting aside all his own affairs save his occasional contributions through the Edward Marshall syndicate, unques- tionably puts him In position to speak with some authority.
 No man in England has closer friends than his among the leaders of the Brit ish government and the French govern ment and in Italy his name holds magic. This does not mean that this interview is in any sense an official utterance, but it does mean that it expresses the real feeling of the great majority of the peo- pie of the European allies and that many Individuals of great importance are aware that 1t has been given.
 You ask me- said Sir Hall Caine, what should be done with the Kaiser
 TRY HIM FOR CRIMES
 T answer; take him into custody, try him in an international couft to which accredited representatives of the Ger man people also are admitted, charging him with crimes against humanity far outside the recognized boundaries Of law.
 Do not allow him to assume the role of martyr.
 Give him just and open trial and If he is condemned let sentence be car- ried out by established international au- thority.
 If necessary to save time and avoid complications let him come up for judg ment on one count only-the sinking of the Lusitania- It will be enough : The facts are clear and after Ambassador c4rards disclosures the evidence is suf- ficient.
 He was an absolute monarch On the question of principle in this connection read Milton's s essay on the Right of a Wronged People to Try and Execute their King. f'Recognize the clear fact that for four ars-international law has been so vio- lated that it may be said not to have existed, so that what is international is no longer law and what Is law is no longer international. Therefore let the injured nations act on the accepted pre- cepts of morality
 ..The peril of the worlds peace is too great for the academic quibbling of in- ternational jurists. A world-criminal who has deluged Europe is innocent blood is living in security and comfort and the world has a right to demand that he should be delivered up to world justice

 The Rev. T. C. Casaday, the newly elected president of the Alabama con ference, is greatly encouraged at the way the work is getting started off for the new year. He is preparing to travel over the district quite a good deal during the year and is hoping for very large in crease along all lines.

stay. Just as you planned I planned,
and said to myself: when the time
comes for US to part shall make him
promise" Dear one, this is my
promise, and make it for the term
Of your own-"for the duration Of the
present war"
l promise you that while you are
away, whether it Is months or years,
nothing except what I can give you
and give all the others shall fill my
life. l promise you that 1 shall de-
vote myself, here in safety, to the
work of making what you do easier
and stronger and safer for you. /
promise you that I shall give-and
give and give-for the Cause! Not
the money I can spare, not the time
I have left when everything else is
done, but all the money, all the time,
all the energy have!
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music. So shall mine be. You will
know self denial, privation and fatigue
L
them. Even if black news comes, even
If the blacklist comes, shall remem-
Der that rainst your brave heart this
promise 3 resting, and 1 shall go on.
And while there is one man among our
million and among the millions of our
allies who needs clothing and nursing
and comforts and solace for rour sake
I shall not fail him.
Perhaps in Gods goodness this note
will come safely back to me in the
olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over 1t together. But, remember, until
that hour comes 1 shall be always busy
filling my own small place in the great
machine of mercy and as truly under

there. God bless you!

Governor HOIcOmb
FavOrs Italy Day

Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb yesterday
endorsed the movement to observe
Friday, May "a as Italy Day. in hon
or of the anniversary of Italy's en-
franc into the war. Several Connect
cut cities are arranging mass meetings
and the people will be asked to wear
flowers in their buttonholes on that
day.
Governor Holcomb said: "I hope
the people of Connecticut will OBJ
serve Italy Day in a spirit of appre-
citation for the service and sacrifice of
the people of Italy, with whom we
are now partners in the great cause
of humanity.
This is an anniversary of an event
which vitality interests the United
States and the Entente Allies and I
trust there will be a general observ-
ance of this occasion in Connecticut.
Italy is one of the great partnership
of nations which is fighting this war
for humanity, and all other nations
of our great Alliance realize with what
fortitude and bravery the sons of
Italy have fought the armies of the
Central powers"

WHEN A CUP OF
COFFEE TASTES LIKE
A MILLION DOLLARS
He Got His Cup and Then
Went on-to Death.

Through the establishment Of the
line of communication canteens In
France the American Red Cross is set
ting records in serving hot coffee, Co
Goa and sandwiches to the troops. One
of these refreshment units made an
other new record recently, serving
more than $4,000 meals in one week.
At another a cup of coffee was served
every ten seconds for a period Of two
consecutive hours.
In single week these lines Of COM
munication canteens often serve $4,000
American and French soldiers.
Soldiers In Box Cars.
Do our soldiers and their allies real
ly want this form of Red Cross serv-
ice? A letter from young American
aviator, 1917 graduate Of Princeton
University, is probably typical. 1t
might be added that this man has since
been reported killed after bringing
down a German Taube. "a 90 mile
train ride over here" he said, INSTEAD
of taking few hours may take days
When we stop at Red Cross canteen
you can bet that a cup of coffee tastes
like a million dollars"
1t is not always possible for a regi-
ment to provide sufficient food and hot
coffee on these long journeys, where
the men must often be packed stand
ing into unheated box cars ordinarily
used for carrying horses. So imagine
for yourself the warmth. the cheer, the
comfort that piping hot coffee and
good sandwiches bring to our boys aft
er a night on such a journey! You
can just bet that it stiffens a mans
courage. Your Red Cross is handing
out this renewed courage by the piping
hot cupful.

VIEWS OF BERLIN
AND vienna ARE
VERY DIVERGENT

Amsterdam, May 17-There is a
remarkable disparity between the ad-
vices from Berlin and those from
Vienna regarding the scope of the
projected extension of the Austrian
German alliance. Whereas the Ber-
lin version of the pact, according to
the Cologne Gazette, denies that the
alliance is to be embodied in the con-
stitutions of the allied empires, direct
advices from Vienna on the same day
affirm the contrary positively, declar-
ing such embodiment to be a part
of the program.
The Importance Of this lies in the
fact that should the proposals con-
template constitutional changes, they
would have to be submitted to the
parliaments of both empires, whose
assent would be necessary.
In Vienna there is no attempt to
conceal the conviction that many
stumbling blocks lie in the path of the
proposals, inasmuch as both in Aus
tria- Hungary and in Germany there
are political parties and business in
terests with sufficient power to exert
strong opposition to a realization OF
the idea of a unified central Europe

Dublin, May 17-At a meeting of
As members of the Irish party here
yesterday, with the Irish Nationalist
leader John Dillon. presiding, a
statement was issued to the effect
that the bill for CONSUMPTION in Ire
land was adopted by parliament
largely under the impression that no
attempt would be made to use the
power until a responsible Irish gov
eminent and an Irish parliament were
called into existence. The latest de-
velopments, however, lead to the con-
viction, the statement says, that the
government has no intention to pro-
duce any bill whatever. It also says
that all the promises made were ut
tered simply for the purpose of de-
ceiving the house Of commons, the
British people and above all, the
American government, the American
people and the Allied European ma
tons, and of prejudicing the cause of
Ireland in their eyes.
