That these figures. however were

. TRIAL OF KAISER
Copyright, 1913.
BY r. L. Goldberg.

High officials Of the Administration
find nothing either morally or legally
wrong in the fact noted by foreign
critics and especially the Dutch'news-
papers. that the Kaiser is to be tried
presumably by his accusers.
The view taken by these authorities
is that the crimes of the Kaiser are
against society and that in any event
the jurors, il they may be so called.
or the judges must be taken from
society.
The real question at issue, these Of
ficials say, is not that the Kaiser is
to be tried by a person or persons
who naturally condemn the crimes
with which he is charged. but whether
they will go into the trial with open
minds and render a just verdict. Of
ficials here do not know what the pro-
cedure will be, but they believe there
will be no objection TO letting the
Kaiser have advocate defenders.

or insist upon an alternative treaty.
taking the consequences for their
rashness
Should the Germans decline to sign
then, it is possible that the Austrians
may possibly adopt a similar atti-
tude but this is not expected.
Latest advices received from the
secret services OF the allied and
American governments reveal a lack
of harmony of opinion in Germany
that is rather peculiar. For instance.
reports from the Rhine district say
that sentiment there is very strong
in favor of acceptance, despite the
terms severity. the people hoping to
get a chance later on to appeal to the
League OF Nations for mitigation of
them.
Elsewhere, especially in eastern
Germany, sentiment is strong for a
rejection. Behind this latter propa-
ganda is apparently a wall worked out
scheme to bring about the fall of the
present Berlin Weimer govern
ment. II this is accomplished the
present regime probably would be
followed by a junker government
headed by Count Won Bernstorh, for
mer German ambassador to the United
States.
Marshal Foch is ready on the Rhine
on the move to forward his armies
and to encircle the western German
frontier. assisted by the American
army OF occupation under General
Hunter Liggett and the British under
General Plumer.
President Wilson has again adopt
ed the attitude OF watchful waiting.
He is ready for the United States to
carry out anything necessary to main

During the period Of Italy,s neu-

judge of the civil court in the Tren-
tipo, condemned over 1000 Italians
who had taken refuge in Italy to
avoid taking up arms against their
mother country. ordering confiscation
Of all their property and imposing

Following Italys entrance into the
war, Shumaker became judge OF the

have inflicted similar sentence on
hundreds of other Italians. in addi-
ton to imposing fifty death SEN
fences The Italians say that Aus
tria's lack Of tact in including Shu-
maker in their delegation is not cal
cuiated to further Austrias interests
before the peace conference.
while the Italians have accepted
the allies viewpoint regarding oppo-
sition TO a union of Austria and Ger
many, they point out that this is
against their interests, since they
fear an independent Austria may
eventually succeed in heading a Bal

Take Up Turkish Terms.
The allies, nearing completion Of
the Austrian peace treaty, have taken
up consideration of some Of the
Turkish terms. The rights and in
terests of minority nationalities were
discussed by the big four, particu-
larry with regard to the religious
situation In Asia Minor. A deiega-
ton from India presented objections
to any radical reduction of Turkish
dominion from the standpoint of Mo-
hammedanism.
The inter-allied occupation Of
Smyrna on Wednesday is now seen as
the initial step in general assumption
Of control over Asia Minor prior to
presentation of the Turkish treaty.
Missionaries and allied agents have
warned that publication of the terms
will be a signal for wholesale mas
sacre Of the Christian populations in
Turkey, unless proper safeguards are
supplied at once.
Austrian Terms ThuFsday.
Every indication now points toward
submission Of the Austrian terms on
Thursday. the date tentatively select
ed some time ago. 1t is believed the
exchange of credentials between the
allied and Austrian delegates will
take place tomorrow and that the
articles Of the treaty will be as
Sembled in time for discussion by
secret plenary session Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The status Of the Italian situation
will have no bearing on the Austrian
treaty. Austria will merely be re-
ouired to relinquish her claims to

position Of these territories will re-
main in the hands Of the peace con-
ference.

CALL ADM. KOLCHAK
BEATTY OF RUSSIA

PARIS. May 1s.-Admiral Kolchak,
whose forces are advancing from 81
IBERIA against the Bolsheviki. is rapid
ly assuming favored position in the
eyes of the allied governments. it was
learned today. In British circles he
is now being referred to as the
Beatty of Russia"
A French general has been with
Kolchak's army for some time, it now
develops, and the opinion is expressed
in French quarters that if any of the
present Russian factions are recOg-
nized, it will be that headed by KOl-
chalk. the sO-calIed Omsk government
His armies are about a third of the
way from Omsk to Moscow. Ameri-
cans are non-committal regarding the
French suggestion that the United
States probably. will see its way clear
to recognize Kolchak il the other
allied governments do.
In the meantime the Firms have
given assurance that they can take
Petrograd any time they desire. The
difficulty appears to be. however, that
in that event they would have to feed
the population. and they lack the IA
cilities for that. Therefore, it is
pointed out that the Firms probably
will not attempt to seize Petrograd
without British assistance and assur-
ance OF food.

Tehitcherin Scorer KoIchnk.

ment as "a purely monarchical power
belonging to the most savage parties
OF Czarism.'
The full text Of the Tchitcherin
note has not been received and the
portions that have arrived are badly
garbled, leaving some room for doubt
as TO whether it is a fnaI rejection
Of Sansen's proposition or is possibly
an outline of conditions as Tchitcherin
understands them, with counter-sug-
gestions
The note thanks hansen profuseIy
for the offer. continuing: IF left lin

Tchitcherin then points out that

invitation for a general conference
At PrinkipO. whereas the Omsk gov
eminent and all other anti-Bol-
shevIk factions rejected it.
