appeared today before the senate
investigating committee to answer
what he described as inuendoes

Mr.. Untemeyer declared that he
had declined after being solicited
to act as counsel for the German

that a conflict be avoided and
tried to do my humble part in my

serving the peace by making them
feel that our hands were not turned

sisted with them, and they knew

PUNISHMENT FOR
KAISER Is UP TO
NATIONS, HE SAYS

London, Dec. II british Wire
less Service) Responsibility for
furnishing the former German en-
peror and other high German otti-
cials for crimes committed during
the war must rest with govern
ments and not with Jurists, accord
ing to the marquis of Crewe, for
mer secretary of state for the colo
nies, in a letter published in the
Westminster Gazette. He writes:
The atrocities in Belgium, the
ill-treatment of prisoners and the
executions of Captain Fryatt and
Miss Edith Cavell are acts that can
be brought home to the individual
persons concerned and punishment
can be inflicted by tribunals. When
however, we go beyond these per
sons, responsibility is altered. The
former German emperor and the
higher German politicians must be
surrendered first and then punished
by executive acts. For this pro-
cedure there are most ample prece-
dents. These criminals can be put
away where they will have no fur
there chance of bringing mischief
on the world, or they can be eX-
ecuted. In other words, it is i'm
portant that legal technicalities
must not be allowed to divert the
hands of justice, as they we'll may
do. in a field which there is no basis
of previous law TO govern proce-
dure. The responsibility must not
rest with jurists, but with govern
ments."
