was the King OF Englands fathers
sister? Do you suppose for mo-
ment that the King of England wants
a convict I'm the family"
We'll, has he got any Mishbooha
In France, Mawrliss?" Abe asked.
Because IL not. Mawruss. IL seems
to me that now while all the wit
nesses is In Paris, II wouldn't be n
bad idea to get the March term of
the Paris County grand jury to hand
down an indictment for murder TO
intent to kill or something"
THAT sounds reasonable TO anybody
not connected with this here Peace
Conference, Abe" Morris admitted,
but II seems that the committee for
fixing responsibility says that IL they
was to hang or shoot the Kaiser. Il
would give him an awful drag with
the German people, and they don't
want the Kaiser TO get popular again,
dead or alive. Their idea is to punish
him by letting him live on TO be an
outcast among all the people of the
earth except the proprietors of first
class European hotels. dealers In high
grade automobiles, expensive tewelry
storekeepers, fashionable tailors and
couple of million other people who
tance to the moral character Of any
body which wants to enjoy life and
has got the money TO do II with. In
other words, Abe, they claim that in
leaving the Kaiser to his conscience
and his bank account. they are pun
ishing him a whole lot worse as hang
ing him or shooting him.
"And suppose that some commit
tee is going to sentence Won Tirpitz
to six months at Monte Carlo. while
Ludendorff will probably be confined
TO Ritz hotel eight hours a day for
the rest of his natural life." Abe sug-
gested.
THE committee claims not" Nor
ris replied. TT seems thar. the Kai-
ser's ministers-like Won Tirpitz and
Ludendorff-is going TO get what Is
coming to them on the grounds that
they are guilty OF violations of inter
national law and amt got no relations
among the royal families OF England
or Italy
But why not bring the whole fleet
over to America, and let the authori-
ties dispose of them there?' Abe in
quired.
The Kaiser would be just as much
a martyr If he was sentenced in
America as in Europe" Morris re-
piled.
who says anything about sentenc-
ing him. Abe demanded. "All il
would be necessary to 90 would be to
swear out a warrant against him and
leave the rest to a couple of head
quarters detecatives, which Gaturaliy
when them fellers would tell him to
come along with them, the Kaiser
would technically resist the arrest by
asking for what. This would mean at
the very least ten stitches in his scalp
Mawruss. not reckoning a couple of
broken ribs or so when the finger
prints was taken, and while it
wouldn't be only a starter in the way
of punishment, he would anyhow find
out that it is one thing to be actually
engaged in a modern battle. and that
looking at it through a high-power
telescope while sitting in bomb
proof limousine six miles away is ab-
sclutely something else again. Later
on. Mawruss. when a New York po-
lice court lawyer visited him in his
cell after the Kaiser had lunched on
bread and water and the police court
lawyer on what used to be called
Koenigsburger Klops and Is now
known as Liberty Roast, understand
me, the Kaiser would get just an ink
ling of what it means TO be caught in
a gas attack without a gas mask"
You talk like you would got a little
experience in the way of sitting in
