Wick proves that he knows that Grigsby should be seated But, dog-in-themanger-like, he would have no one represent Alaska if he, himself, cannot be that one.
NO ESCAPING PUNISHMENT

Should von Bethmann Holweg, who was chancellor of Germany at the outbreak of the war and for months afterwards, claim re- sponsiblity for every act of the German gov ernment, as recent press despatches indicate that he may, he would not shift any portion of blame from the shoulders of the former German emperor Howeg was but the crea- ture of the kaiser, taking no action without his sanction and unable to make or prevent war without his imperial masters biding.
 And that fact was realized by the confer ence in providing for the punishment of the former German ruler. Part VII of the peace treaty, which was recently inserted in the Con- gressional Record, copy of which is now at hand, provides for penalties Article 227 of this document says
 "The allied and associated powers public ly arraign William II of Hohenzollern, form erly German emperor, for a supreme offence against international morality and the sancti- tv of treaties
 "A special tribunal will be constituted to try the accused, thereby assuring him the guarantees, essential to the right of defence It will be composed of five judges, one ap- pointed by each of the following powers name ly, the United States of America, Great Brit ain, France, Italy and Japan
 "In its decision the tribunal will be guild ed by the highest motives of international pol icy with a view to vindicating the solemn obl- gations of international undertakings and the validity of international morality It will be its duty to fix the punishment which it consid- CTS should be imposed
 "The allied and associated powers will address request to the government of the Netherlands for the surrender to them of the ex-emperor in order that he may be put on trial.
