tary and semi-military circles strong
insistence has developed that the former
Emperor IL innocent and that under no
circumstances must he be placed on
trial except In a neutral court.
In some quarters the threat OF the
officers to resign was taken most scri-
ously on the ground that such action
might pave the way for a Spartacan and
Communist uprising throughout the
country. Opposition to the surrender OF
German war leaders is apparently the
point to which the greatest objection is
raised
The delegates to the National Assem-
bly, seem disheartened and crushed.
This was emphasized when even those
opposed to signing made their protests
in an apparently hopeless effort as
though It was a matter Of course rather
than deep rooted feeling. The Assem-
bly, listened with apathy to the an
nouncement that It had been decided to
sign without conditions.
President Fehrenbach made a desper-
ate rhetorical attempt to inspire hope in
the future. but failed to stir a single
delegate to applause. The members
stood automatically when the question
of taking a recess was put and walked
from the hall like sheep following their
leader.
