BELGIUM DEMANDS
TRIAL OF KAISER
AS WAR CRIMINAL
Accused of Crime He Should
Suffer the Death
Penalty
A RESPONSIBLE PARTY
The Extradition of the Kaiser Will
Be Demanded by the Belgians
Through League
A RESPONSIBLE PARTY

PARIS, April 16-The former
Kaiser and the other German male
factors will be tried before a tribu-
nal formulated along the lines of the
League of Nations for violating treat
les and rupturing the worlds mo-
rality.
1t has been stated that the Com
mission investigating responsibility
for the war and responsibility for
criminal acts during the war has COM
piled report which has been signed
by all except the japanese.
The report condemns the Kaiser,
the Crown Prince, Won Hindenburg,
Ludendorff, and Won Tirpitz, as well
as the German officers who directed
the submarine and air bombing can-
paigns and number of Germans in
charge of prison and concentration
camps during the war.
The extradition of the Kaiser will
be demanded by Belgium through he
League of Nations, and as The Meth
erlands will be a member OF the
League, it is not expected there will
be any difficulty in bringing the kai-
ser personally before the world court.
1t is believed the death penalty or
banishment surely will be inflicted
upon the German leaders responsible
for the cruelties and crimes commit
ted during the war.
The American Commission did not
favor extraditing or trying the Kai-
ser upon the responsibility for the
war, owing to the fact that any rul-
ing sovereign always has had the
right to make war in the past and the
Allies could not seize upon the Kaiser
as the first exception with fairness.
Secretary of State Lansing favored
merely writing into some lasting doc
ument, like the peace treaty, cl"ucc
denouncing the Kaiser and the Ger
man military leaders for throwing the
world into war, and thus indirectly
holding them responsible for the
millions killed and MANNED.
However, Lloyd George and Glenn
enceau held out for trial of the prin-
cipal enemy criminals and used this
demand as a trading point with the
Americans upon the reparations
claims, as the American financial ex
perts stood out solidly for a small
and reasonable sum which the Ger
mans could be expected to pay. FL
nally President Wilson affixed his sig
nature to the report as drafted.

PARADE OF THE 18TH
Application Should be Made at Once
to Major Ellis for Blanks to
Secure Tickets

Major Henry w. Ellis has received
from Adjutant General Johnson ap-
plication cards for relatives to fill
out who wish to attend the parade
of the Goth Division in Boston, April
25th. There are also application
blanks for discharged soldiers of the
26th Division to fill out who wish to
take part in the parade, and secure
transportation if necessary.
The time is short and the cards
should be filled and forwarded at
once to secure tickets and accom-
modations. Apply to Major Ellis,
who will give information on all
these questions. The following is
taken from the instructions:
Owing to the late date on which
the members of the 101st Ammuni-
ton train and the 102nd and 103d
Machine Gun Companies are likely
to arrive at Camp Devens, it is
thought best, as far as possible, to
allow the relatives to fill out the ap-
plication cards for grand stand tick
cts themselves.
These should be used by the rela-
tives only, and no soldier is entitled
to more than four tickets. When
these are filled out they Should be
sent to the Adjutant General, Mont
pelier, instead of to Boston as direct
ed or the back; he must certify them
before the tickets are issued
