London, British Wireless Service,
Dec. Disappointing for punish
mgathe feFmersGerman emperor and
higher, German officials for crimes
committed during. the war must rest
with the sote4aaaents and net the
jurists, according to Marquis OF
Crewe, former secretary of state for
the colonies in a letter published in
the Westminster Gazette. He writes:
'.The atrocities in Belgium, the i'll
treatment Of prisoners and the execu.
tion of Capt. Fryatt and Miss Edith
Cavell are acts that can be brought

cerned and punishment can be in.
flicted by tribunals. When, however,
we go beyond these persons respon-
sibility is then altered. The former
German emperor and the high Ger
man politicians must be surrendered
first and then punished by executive
acts. For this procedure there are
most ample precedents. These Grim
inals can be put away with no fur
ther chance of bringing mischief on
the. world, or they can be executed.
In order that this may be done it is
important no technicalities divert

of previous law to govern procedure,
The responsibility should not rest
