London. Sept. 27.-(By Universal
Service. George Bernard Shaw
herewith. presents the circumstances
and conditions under which he be-
lieves the former kaiser should be
brought to trial. The article is in
the form OF a suppositious inter
view with his ex-imperial majesty,
whose ideas on this particular sub
ject Mr.. Shaw has no doubt Coin
cided with his own.
BY GEORGE BERNARD SHAW.
The Amsterdam correspondent Of
"The Kilmackilloge Sentinel" has
visited Amerongen and been admit
ted to an audience with the ex-kai-
ser, whom he found engaged in a
history Of the war for an American
publishing firms The ex-kaiser
talked freely Of the proposed trial
in London and declared that the
conditions on which he will volun-
tarily leave his asylum in Holland
and surrender himself to the allies
are as follows:
/. No unusual punishments are to
be included within the powers of the
tribunal. This is an established con-
dition of criminal law in all civil
ICED countries and excludes such
sentences as NARROWING on St. Hell
ena or Ascension.
Death Penalty to Remain.
2. In spite of the stipulation made
by the United States, the death pen
atty is not to be excluded and is to
be de rigeur on conviction for viola
ton of neutrality in the first in
stance.j
8. The death penalty is to be de
rigeur also on conviction of interna-
tional conspiracy against the peace
of nations.
4. The trisunalis to try all indict-
ments lodged by parties to the war,
or neutrals damaged by it and
suitable accommodation is to be pro-
vided in the dock for at least four
sovereigns and two presidents. Pro-
vision for their execution on the
same day and the same scaffold in
the event of their conviction on a
capital charge is to be provided and
the executions are to take place in
public. ~5
5. Responsible ministers are to be
subject to the indictment and to the
extreme penalty.
6-After the indicted have pleaded
they shall not be admitted to bail
until the sentence of the tribunal
is delivered; but their accommoda-
tons under detention shall be suit
able to the rank held by them be-
fore August, 1914.
Proceedings to Be Public.
1.-The proceedings shall be pub

the joint expense of the several
states concerned, in the leading
newspapers of their capitals.

and shall have the ear of the court
to the same extent as counsel prose-
cutting.
Gin consideration of the forego-
| ing conditions, H. I. M. valves all
questions as to the impartiality and
jurisdiction of the tribunal and UNI
dertakes to surrender for the trial in
London (and not elsewhere) at the
appointed date on receiving a valid
assurance Of the acceptance of his
terms and safe conduct guarantee
ing the inviolability of his person in
the meantime.
Anticipates Good Time.
The kaiser, who seemed to be in
the best of spirits, declared that he
had nothing to add to these articles
and that he anticipated an extremely
interesting time in London. He was
anxious that it should be known that
he was placing no obstacle in the
way Of the trial and he was only
too grateful to Mr.. Lloyd George
for having provided an opportunity
for bringing the real authors of the
war to justice.
II shall not" he said, put your
London police to the trouble OF ad-
vertising that I am wanted there.
l shall not end my days on St. Hell

Few SENATORS
!. WANT TO HEAR
PACT READING
That Part Of German Peace
Treaty Affected by Amend
ments Of Senator Fall IN
interesting to Senators.

Washington, Sept. 27.-All tina
part Of the German peace treaty al
fected by the amendments of Senator
Fall, republican, New Mexico, which
would exempt the United State.
from representation on foreign com
missions was formally read to til,
senate late today with only half {
dozen senators listening at the end
The reading paved the way for gen
eral debate, beginning on Monday
and made possible a vote on til,
amendments during the week. There
was no indication tonight, however
as to how soon the discussion
might close, for many senators, in
Guiding Senator Fall, will speak.
The vote will give the first &C.
citrate test of the lineup of tn.
forces, Republicans have claimec
that the amendments will be adopted
democratic leaders declare their de.
feat is certain.
The reading was interrupted soor
after 1t started by brief discussion
OF the league of nations covenant
but the half holiday spirit was in the
air and senators, weary from week
Of treaty debate had no desire to rel
turn to the fray.
Want Wilson's Views.
Some democrats suggested TO-DAY
that because of the certainty that
not one vote would be changed by
further discussion, they send their
case to the jury, so to speak, with
out argument. This, they contend
ed would speed up the treaty and
put the question of delay squarely
up to the republicans. Most demo-
Gratis opposed such procedure, but
those who advanced it said they
would endeavor to obtain the views
of President Wilson.
The president, shome tomorrow to
rest after a trying speech-making
trip to the Pacific coast, will get
different views from members of his
party in the senate, some of whom
will tell him the treaty can be rati-
tied without reservation or amend
ment. Others will present the view
that there is absolutely no hope of
its ratification in its present form.
Urged to Withdraw.
While Senator Johnson, republi-
can, California, was speeding today
to his home state to resume his
fight on the league of nations, the
League to Enforce Peace gave out
here, a telegram sent to him by
jurists, business men and others of
California, urging him to withdraw
his opposition to ratification of the
treaty. Senator Johnson hopes to
get back in time to plead for adop-
ton Of his amendment, designed
to equalize the voting power of the
United States and Great Britain in
the league, which by general agree
ment, has gone over for considera-
ton after all other amendments
have been disposed of finally.
:, Senator Smith, democrat, Georgia,
announced today that he planned
to present to the senate, Monday,
a set of, reservations to the treaty
similar to those offered by the
group favoring mild reservations. y
It is understood that Senator
Smiths reservation to Article 10
of the treaty will declare that
American military force cannot be
used in furtherance of a territorial
guarantee without the approval OF
congress-

Defes Stage Superstitions

London.-Arthur Collins in his
disregard for stage superstitions,
provides a complete constrast with
his predecessor at the Lane. Sir
Augustus Harris was perhaps the
most superstitious person of his per-
iod. He used to 60 to all sorts OF
lengths and put himself to all kinds
of easily avoidable trouble in order
to follow even the silliest of stage
superstitions. He had an especial
horror of peacocks' feathers coming
anywhere within measurable dis
lance of any part of the theater
Yet, directly Collins succeeded to
the management of the Lane he not
only laughed at all such supersti-
tions-and especially at the pea
cocks feathers one-but actually
put on there Peacocks Feather
Ballet.

Jefferis Would Stop
Lumber Expectation
For Next Two Years

Washington, Sept. 27.-(Speecial
Telegram. )-Congressman Jefferis
introduced bill to prohibit the ex-
portation of lumber for a period
of two years and providing penalties
for the violation of the same. In
explaining the purpose of his bill,
the Omaha representative said:
"In these crucial days of recon-
struction, it becomes necessary to
take special precautions to protect
the work now under way, and to
encourage further building activi-
ties. The great domestic demand
for lumber during the war was
evidenced in the decrease of ex-
ports. However, reports of the De-
partment of Commerce to June,
1919, show that the foreign trade
is again on the increase. Figures
compiled by the department show
that, excluding shingles, slaves,
furniture, holdings, etc, We ex-
ported 1,077,973,000 board feet of
lumber in the IL months ending
June, 1919. This is more than TO-
UVU,UUU feet IN excess OF the amount
exported the previous year, and is
100000 feet more than the export
of 1917.
This, in spite of the demand 10
cally for lumber in shipbuilding,
which increased more than 100 per
cent in the past year. More than
this, we find that the production
of lumber steadily drains. In 1907
we cut 10000, 100000 board feet Of
lumber in the United States, while
in 1915 only 38,0O0,00O,000 board
fet were cut. Thus it is that the
annual exports of lumber from the
United States amount normally to-
s per cent of the total cut The
original forest area of this country
was 850000,000 acres. 1t is now less
than 545,OO0,000 acres. My bill
seeks to prevent further shipments
of lumber to foreign nations until
our country can supply its building
demands"

wei as the south side, an ordinance
providing for this improvement hav-
ing been passed by the city council
last night.
The action of the council, although
initiated prior to their appearance
followed the protest of residents of
the south side of the street again be-
ing ordered to improve their side of
the street only. The protestants
were DR. E. L. Murray and R. S.
Broadhurst, who stated that they
were not Directing to constructing
sidewalks along their property, but
only against being singled out. They
said they felt it was class legisla-
zion, and that if compelled to go to
che expense of laying this walk, the
other side should be improved equal
BY, finishing the Job on that portion
Bf the street.
They contended that the assertion
that the street should be paved for
the use of the school pupils and
teachers going to and from the high
school was without merit. They as
serted that the College street cross
3g Of the Seaboard railroad was
dangerous, and that a safe route be
md by crossing the bridge on Barlow
ara going to the school by way of
Tsylor street, a route only 100 yards
fsrther than through College. They
requested that, even though the
e0ancil adhered to its order to have
sE&syaalks laid on this street, the
ssEdents be encouraged to use the
Dtaer street because of the danger of
this crossing.
