Elk KAISER MAY NOT
FACE LONDON TRIAL

LONDON, July Is. tBy the Asso-
ciated Press. Ut is possible that former
Emperor William nay not be tried in
London. according to an %announce-
ment made in the house Of lords by
Earl Curzon of Kedleston, govern
ment leader in the upper house.
The lords passed the treaty and the
Anglo-French treaty through all stages.
In the course of the discussion Wis
count Bryce, former ambassador at
Washington, deprecated holding the
trial of the former German emperor at
London.
Baron Buckmaster said there were
grave reasons why the government
ought not to pursue any further the
project of trying the German war lord,
it was certainly uniting. he declared,
to ask an English judge to sit on such
a tribunal to administer a law he does
not know by procedure and has never
been defined in a court he does not
control.
In his reply Earl Curzon said he
thought the kaiser in exile in no way
comparable with Charles I or Napo-
leon. He was unable to imagine that
a man who had ANONYMOUSLY fled his
country could be turned into a martyr
| or a hero by a trial while his continual
| presence near the German border
| might be a political danger.
