informed us that at the Paris Peace
Congress the question of punishment
OF the fallen Kaiser was referred to a
special commission. The majority pro-
nounced themselves in favor OF his be-
ing brought to justice and 10 punish
ment. minority report being, how
ever, presented by the American and
Japanese members. The latter could
not afford to do otherwise. For the
principle Of their entire monarchical
system is based upon the sacred and
semi-divine attributes OF their Mikado.
The American Argument.
The American members OF the COM
mission. however, took the ground that
there was no provision in national or
international law that would admit OF
the former Kaiser being placed on
trial, either for his life or for any
other minor penalty. Their argument
took tho form that even though he
had lost his throne and was account
able for the most terrible crimes in
modern and ancient history, yet that
he retained certain legal rights and
that by virtue of these rights he was
exempt from the jurisdiction of any
foreign tribunal. The report of the com
mission has been. always according to
the most authoritative cable dispatches
from Paris, presented to the Big Five,
consisting Of Georges Clemenceau.
David Lloyd George, Signor Orlando,
the Marquis Saionji and President
Wilson. The Premiers of Great Brit
ain. OF France and OF italy. favor the
majority reLort. President Wilson and
the Marquis Saionjl. but President
Wilson in particular, uphold the views
OF the American and japanese men,
bers Of the commission. In fact, the
fate OF the ex-Kaiser may be said TO
rest in the hands OF the Chief Magis-
trats OF the United States and will
depend upon whether he gives way OF
sticks to his guns.
But in their consideration of the
problem presented by the popular de-
mands for the ex-kaiser's punishment
the President, the Premiers and their
commission OF legal experts seem TO
have lost sight OF a very important
fact and to have forgotten that Il prec-
edent exists for the measures that
are available for dealing with his un-
pardonable offences against mankind,
even against hiH own fellow country
men. upon whom he has brought ruin,
disaster and a stigma which 1t will
require generations to effacc. They
should have recalled the method
adopted by the Congress Of Vienna
100 years ago in the instance Of the
FIRST Napoleon. President Wilson, the
Marquis Saionii, the other three MEN,
bers OF the Big Five and the special
commission OF the Peace Congress
have proceeded in their discussion
about the matter from the premises
that the Kaiser. though he has abdi-
Gated his throne, still retains civil
rights. When Napoleon first abdicated

the crown and against the nation, the
sovereigns concerned were brought to
