hiding place. beneath the big house
here, was protected by a huge iron
door and lock similar to those on
American bank vaults.
The Kaiser's hiding place was In a
dugout beneath his establishment at
Neubois- Delicate electrical instru-

at the APPROACH OF an aeroplane. and
the Kaiser and Hindenburg would
rush to cover at the first/sound of the
contrivance. Former employees at the

SHOOTING TOO GOOD
FOR KAISER, SAYS
FOE OFFICIAL

LONDON. Dec. 2s.-Shooting
the former Kaiser and his CO
consPirators against world peace
would be letting them on too
easily, In the opinion Of Richard
Barth, Socialist member Of the
German gOvernUent The best
Punishment would be to make
them rebuild Belgium and north
ern franey, he declared In an In
terIieW with the Berlin eOrre-
spOndent Of the Express.
Personally I believe the war
originated in BerIin.' said Barth,
''the main reason being that the
Kaiser wanted to rule the world.
''The others responsible are
the Crown Primer, Admiral Won
Tirpitz and General Won Falken-
stein Ralkenhayeni). Their
punishment cannot be too Sc
we're. The allies may try them
and shoot them, but think the
best punishment would be to
make them rebuild Belgium and
