WHAT FOR KAISER
VIII He Lose Head, Go Free or
Be Banished2
Public Opinion in France Now
Is Divided.

Paris, Nov. 14.-Will Wilhelm lose
his head, be banished, or be allowed
to disappear?
Public opinion here is divided. High
circles apparently are almost unan-
imously Wilsonian in their attitude
The majority of the masses seemingly
rebel at the escape of the former kali
ser, who was regarded as the principal
artery of war and the murderer OF 20.-
100000. These are in favor of an in
ternatlonal high court to pass judg-
ment on his case. They oppose ban
INTO a hero to which he is not worthy.
Others declare the kaiser and crown
prince were marionettes in the hands
of the militarists and kings OF COM
merce, who are the ones responsible
for the war. They contend that. If
possible. these ring leaders also should
be hailed before an international court
so that something like justice might be
achieved. Otherwise, they say. mere
~ the surface will be scratched.
The opinion is unanimous that the
allies have hard jobs in fixing Ger
many that no one man, or clique,
can make war again and at the same
time arresting a famine so far as CIR
cumstanceS permit by holding out a
helping hand to a thoroly beaten foe.
Jan van Hamel, professor of juris-
prudence in Amsterdam now in Paris,
was interviewed concerning the posi-
BILE disposition of Wilhelm.\ He said
refuse to allow the former kaiser the
benefit of asylum if an international
court of justice should require his ap-
nearance

DEMOCRAT SLIPPED in
o. w. Sparks of Galena Elected to the
State Senate.

In spite of the Republican landslide
in Kansas in the recent election the
Democrats have apparently gained one
seat in the state senate. According to
returns sent to Topeka from Cherokee
county, o. w. Sparks of Galena. Dem
ocrat has defeated A. H. Skidmore,
Republican. Sparkss majority is sew
enteen.
Sparks was elected at a special cleo
ton called by Governor Capper to. fill
the vacancy caused by the nomination
of Senator Charles S. Huffman as lieu
tenant governor in the Republican pri-
maries. Both the special election and
the general election were held the
same day. Sparks. who appears to
have won the election, was a member
or the house during the 1917 session.
He was formerly sheriff of Cherokee
county. A. II. Skidr7ore, the Repub-.
lican nominee, was formerly district
judge.

THE TROOPS BACK
Rainbow Division Due To Re-
turn by Christmas.
And the New England Troops
as Well.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The Rainbow
and New England divisions are be-
lieved likely to be back in the states
by Christmas. With the exception of
the first regular division, they were
While priority of return will not en-
tirely follow priority of original ship
mcnt, these two divisions are likely to
get back first.
The war department, however, has
made no announcement yet as to the
probable time for any unit and its
plans are unsettled.
The war plans section OF the general
staff is giving serious attention to the
matter of a standing army after de-
mobilization, and also to the problem
of universal training. These subjects
have been before the section for a
long time and probably will be pre-
scented to Secretary Baker soon..
According to Bakers Interpretation
of the present military status, all en-
listments will close with the end of the
war emergency, unless congress, acts
before that time. Hence it is believed
that the war plans sections decisions
will be embodied in legislation for con-
gresS soon. ,.[- IS
Congress will determine in the last
analysis how great a standing army
the United States should have and
whether universal military training
should be followed now that thevAr Is
ended. The regular army establish
ment PRIOR to the war amounted to
about 10000 officers and men.
War department officials believe
universal military training should be
instituted, but they are doubtful about
the tone OF public opinion and in
clined to the belief that the public will
prefer to settle back to the pre-war

What OF REDS"
Most Serious Question Is That
of BOlshcyiki.
London Papers See Danger
Signal Ahead.

London. Nov. 1.-THE most serious
question of the hour. in the opinion
of some newspapers here, is how far
Europe is infected with Bolshevism.
Some German newspapers and some
in neutral countries continue to warn
the allies not to push Germany too
far to the wall lest she be driven into
anarchy. Some English newspapers
consider this as German propag anda
to gain leniency.
The general British view appears to
be summarized in the question
whether the cost of the reha Utilization
of Europe should be borne by the vic
TINS of devastation or by its authors,
and in the declaration that the Ger
man armies should be deprived of all
arms in the interests of Germany her
self. thus making internal fighting
less possible when the armies are re-
patriated.
Newspapers in Sweden, Spain, Hol-
land and even Norway express APP
prehension over the spread of the red
flag movement. The troubles in
Switzerland also cause uneasiness.

Wilson and Lloyd George Stand
Together.
For Peace Without Any Re-
venge or Greed.
WORK ON RECONSTRUCTION
Grave Problems Ahead for Both
Nations.
Labor and Business Want To
Know of Future.

Washington, Nov. 14.-President
Wilson and Lloyd George stand
souarely together on the main problem
of Justice, without revenge or
greed"
At the same time, the two nations
are working out. separately but in
many respects with the same ideas as
before, the problems of reconstruction.
As revealed by Premier Lloyd
Georges latest utterances and as
known from President Wilson's
speeches, the league of nations idea
will be put forth vigorously in the
peace conference. Lloyd George stands
with the president on his IA peace
principles. Particular stress is being
laid both by the British premier and
the American president that the great
peace must avoid base. sord:d. squalid
ideas of vengeance and avarice."
~ Both Arc Busy.
Both Lloyd George and the president
are now busying themselves with re-
construction matters. Lloyd George
has declared for big housing schemes
for creation of the minimum wage, for
reduction of hours and for increased
Production from the land.
President Wilson has not yet declar-
ed himself on the program of the fu-
ture. But he has under consideration
the creation of a reconstruction COM
mission. which should be q group of
experts acting as a clearing house for
the financial, labor, construction prob

Immense Problems.
The government has found itself
temporarily staggered by the sudden
ness and immensely of problems pre-
sented by peace, but is now getting its
second wind and preparing for system
attic handling of the problem. Lloyd
George says that Bolshevism is not
feared IL the problems are handled
Alright. This nation, too, is striving to
avert the cause of Bolshevism and
hence it proposes to have a sound re-
construction policy at the earliest pos
sible time.
The unanimity between Britain
and the United States at this time
is considered important since many see
that Germany is trying to get softened
peace conditions by playing the sym
patty game" now. President Wilson
has cabled King George that America
is glad to be allied with Britain upon
whom we are so sure we can count
for cooperation that the high pur-
poses of the war may be realized"
While the revolution in Germany
has proceeded with comparative order

government is concerned, hunger will
spread and cause a reign of terror.
Were it not for hunger, it was said

ment would have no fears about the

REVOLUTIONARY STRIKE

More Political.

More Political.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Switzerlands
general strike, which commenced TINS
week, has objects which are revoiu-
tionary and political rather than eco
nomic and has had direct Indictment
from the Bolshevist organization in
Russia. according to Hans Sulzer.
Swiss minister to the United States
Mr.. Sulzer sketched circumstances
leading up to the strike today for the
Associated Press. Tho without in
formation as to the progress of the
movement. he expressed complete con-
fidence that it would fail to break
down the present Swiss government.
which. he said, had the support OF the
overwhelming proportion of the popu-
lation.
For some time there has been great
industrial unrest and unemployment In
Switzerland, due to general world con-
ditions and intensified by our general
location" Sulzer said. Food has been
insufficient, and raw material Jas not
been obtainable with which to keep all
plants employed. Then there are thir-
ty thousand deserters and undesira bic
aliens from belligerent countries har-
bored in and around Zurich where
trouble has conferred.
THE Russian Bolshevik govern
ment tho not recognized has had a
representative in the country who was
tolerated upon MS agreement 10 re-
frain from propaganda against our
democratic form of government. This
promise he did not keep, but instead
engaged more or less openly in agita-
ton.
Affairs eliminated when the Swiss
government ordered troops into Zurich
to maintain order, which was done last
week. The Socialist committee, which
controls the central labor organization,
ordered the government to remove the
soldiers or face. a general strike to
begin Sunday. Naturally my govern
ment would not be dictated to in any
such fashion. The strike followed.
