WILL NEVER TRY THE
KAISER is THE BELIEF
Are Unable to Discover What Steps
Can Be Taken--Holland Slow
To Surrender Him.

Paris.-The best opinion expressed
in peace conference circles here is
entirely incredulous concerning the
possibility of bringing the kaiser to
trial.
No steps whatever have been
taken to that end and those most
intimately concerned are unable to
discover what steps can be taken to
make him amendable as he enjoys
the sanctuary of Holland, which can
not be violated unless n single ma
ton can specifically indict him for
an eXtraditable offense. In that event
he must be tried by tribunal and
under the laws of that nation, not
by mixed tribunal before which
he could be brought only il surren
dered by Holland And Holland, re
garding him as a political offender
shows no sign of surrendering him.
No analogy is offered by Napoleon
as he surrendered to an enemy pow
err. That the ex-kaiser will BIZ
brought to trial is not entertained
in any responsible quarter in Paris
Besides, the objection to making {
martyr of him reduces the keennes!
of his pursuit, although 1t is no
likely it will be formally abandoned
for some time.
The leisurely procedure of the Ger
mans over the treaty raises thu
question whether the allies will Civ,
an extension beyond the Is day
maximum for their representations
| hear they may get one or two days
not more.
The Italian problem is still unset
tied evoking the possibility of CT
teal situation.

NORTHWEST GRAIN
OFFICIALS CONFER
Idaho and Washington Men Hold Meet
ing in Portland With Federal
Supervision.

Portland, Ore-Miles Cannon, Idaho
state commissioner of agriculture,
with a party of Idaho and Washington
grain officials, held an informal con-
ference here Monday at the office of
the United States department of agri-
culture with officials of the federal
grain supervision.
The purpose of the meeting was to
make arrangements for carrying into
effect on July l the bonded ware
house law, enacted by the last Idaho
legislature. The visitors expect to con
clude their work tomorrow.
To make the act effective the Idaho
law requires cooperation with govern
ment agencies, and it was in carrying
out this provision that the meeting is
being held. The federal grain grades
applying in this state were adopted. In
addition, representatives of bonding
and insurance companies were con
ferred with and they are preparing pol
icies to cover the requirements of the
Idaho law.

SOME WIVES WERE THESE!
Two Women Who Gave Birth to a
Small Village.

Two women, curiously enough, seem
to have the record for the largest
families that are known. And both
lived across the ocean. They each
had exactly the same number of chill
drcn: sixty-two
One was the wife of poor weaver
in Scotland, who bore her husband
forty-six boys and four girls, who
grew to manhood and womanhood,
and twelve others who died ere reach
ing their prime.
An English baronet adopted ten of
the sons-rather a large order; three
other landed gentry took ten each,
and the remainder were brought up
by their parents.
| The other woman was a peasant
| girl of Tuscany. Gravata by name. She
set the seal on the family reputation
and assured herself of endless fame,
although she led off unostentatiously
enough with Il baby girl, by present
ling her husband with six little boys,
and followed that the next year with
five more!
Then came triplets twice, which
were followed by quartet. Then
ensued a long procession of ones and
twos, and, as a wind-up, lest her
reputation should suffer eclipse, came
four more boys-all at once, bringing
the grand total of her living chill
dren to sixty-two. Thus, two women
gave birth to 124 children; small
village.

SPAIN DESTROYS
Of kDHERING TO
WORLDS LEAGUE
AIfOnSO'S Country So Notifies
WiISOn-PiChon Predicts
Peace Terms Will Be Ready
Before Easter,

PARIS, April 3. 'GBy the Associated
Press.)-Spain is DESTROYS Of adhering
to the league of nations, and has so
notified President Wilson.
II bave always thought, and think
more every day, that the peace prelimi-
naries to be imposed upon Germany
will be ready before Easter unless
something unexpected arises" said Ste
phen Pichon, foreign minister, in reply
TO questions at a banquet given by
French republican journalists, according
to the Matin.
The council Of four has virtually de-
clded, according to information from
French sources, that the left bank of
the Rhine will be n~eutrRliZed until Ger
many has paid the indemnities fixed
by the peace conference.
1t Is understood French and Belgian
troops will hold this territory, the
United States claiming it to be impossi-
BILE to leave American troops in Europe
after the signature of the peace treaty,
and England having insufficient troops
to maintain garriSons along the Rhine.
1t is surmised the visit of King Albert
Of Belgium to Paris was not uncon-
nected with the share Belgian troops
will be asked to undertake in this ter
ritory.
The drafting committee of the league
of nations commission has finished
work, but has not passed upon the
French amendments to articles 5 and 8
as well as American and Japanese sug-
gestions as to the Monroe doctrine and
the equality of n%ationalities. 1t is eX'
pected the league Of nations commission
will meet Saturday to adopt a definite
text Of the covenant. President Wilson
will act as chairman Of the meeting.
An appeal for the independence Of
Korea will be submitted to the peace
conference before the end of the present
week by a delegation headed by KinsiC
Kimo, representing the new Korean
Young Mems society. The appeal il
declared to represent the vehement de
sire Of almost the entire Korean ma
ton as manifested by the present wide
spread passive resistance movement.
The document is accompanied by
long memorandum reciting the ALLEGED
injustice and u~npopularity OF Japanese
rule and the h%arshness of the measure:
with which Japan is declared to be en-
~deavoring to repress the national move
ment for liberation.
