Cannot Shield the Kaiser

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Won Bethmann- Hollweg, who was
Chancellor when the Kaiser ordered
Germany into war, comes to the
front with a proposition. An article
in the Peace Treaty makes it obliga-
tory on the part of the German gov
ernment to deliver for trial men
charged with criminality during the
war. The Kaiser, having fled like
frightened cur to Holland, is not
now under German jurisdiction, but
it is the intention to ask Holland
to give him up. Bobs up now the
former Chancellor. He assumes all
responsibility. Won't the Allies
kindly take him, therefore, in place
of the Kaiser? He will be glad to
stand trial.
He will have to stand trial any
way, glad or not glad, for he is one
of the persons wanted, hence he
cannot substitute for the imperial
sawyer. For it is really necessary
to bring Wilhelm before an inter-
national court. 1t is not at all prob
able that the royal despot will be
hanged or stood up against wall
of the Tower of London and shot.
He deserves death, of course, but
banishment will do. What is re-
quired is an example for future
would-be despots to study. And
what is also required is to open up
the secret archives, to bring forth
into the glaring light of publicity
the documents bearing upon the
world upheaval, to summon wit
nesses, to fix the blood guilt so that
history may have faithful records.
"As former German Imperial
Chancellor, 1 bear for my period of
office sole responsibility" says DIR.
Won Bethmann-Hollw "for the
political acts of the Emperor"
Yes? Did he, then, convene that
council at Potsdam on July 5, 1914,
when the Emperor called before him
his army and navy chieftains and
the bankers of Berlin and gave
notice of impending hostilities? :?
The Chancellor was but a pawn,
and the coming judicial investiga-
tions of the responsibility for the
war cannot be content with the
trials of pawns. The probe must
reach the man higher up"
OF course, the question will be
raised that there is no precedent for
dragging the head of a nation be-
fore a tribunal. But what of that :?
No such situation as the present
has ever been faced before. There
is a first time for all things, and
what is a precedent but a first
| time?
Won Bethmann- Hollweg may be
pleased to indulge in mock heroics,
but he cannot shield the former
Kaiser. That individual is wanted,
and surely there is a way to reach
| him.

ace to the world much more serious
than Germany could ever be?
Let me say that l have very
many Japanese friends, especially
among the Christian japanese, for 1
am Christian myself. But the un-
pleasant fact remains that the Jap
anese government is moved by
spirit of militarism, imperialism,
and all of those things which have
come to be called Prussian. Really,
1 am very much worried about the
effect of this decision on the people
of China. Perhaps there will be
some horrible reaction. possibly an
uprising of monarchists with the
aim of breaking down all the last
walls between us and Japan and ac-
cepting the Japanese as the avowed
directors of the destinies of the two
great Oriental peoples. Or perhaps
general anarchy.
You see, Shantung is the cradle
of China's civilization. 1t was the
birthplace of her two greatest
sages-Confucius and Mencius. The
seventy-third direct descendant of
Confucius, whose name is Kung
Hsiang-ko, is now on his way to
Paris to plead that this holy land
Of the Chinese people be kept
Chinese"
But, of course" 1 think Doctor
Wang, Japan has solemnly promised
to give back to China all but bare
foot-hold for herself in Shantung."
mo doubt" he replied, Japan
will give us back most of the rocky
barren hillsides, and keep the rich
places and the strategic points for
herself. She will give us back the
shells and keep the oysters"

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

THEER up, folks! When finan-
cial forecasters are optimistic
there is absolutely no ground
for pessimism, for often they see
the dark side only and panics loom
in their minds that nobody else ever
so much as dreams about. One of
the most conservative of market and
industrial observers has this to say
in the Bach Review:
The money situation is unfa-
VorabIe to any large speculative
operation and money is under
control of the bankers. The re-
suit is somewhat like chat of a
fire which has been banked up
There is a temporary cooling off
at the top and a steady, effectual
burning underneath. The fires
there are very much alive.
AS this process of curtailment
parently strengthening all the
time and optimism as to values
increasing. Developments IN the
steel business and in the copper
trade are favorable, and in gem
eral it may be said that industry
larger volume, with good profits
steadily accumulating. The buy
ing power of the country is enor-
nous and will be augmented by
the harvest. Increasing tonnage
will enlarge the export trade and
demand abroad is undoubtedly
waiting in great volume for in
creased tonnage. With prosperity
looming, the labor problems are
more capable of ultimate salts
factory settlement. The quiet pur-
chasing of carefully selected Sc
curities is proceeding and appears
to be justified.

TWENTY YEARS AFTER

RESIDENT WILSON, acting
- in his own name and by MS
l. own proper authority" has ex-
tended an invitation to King Albert
and Queen Elizabeth, of Belgium
TO visit the United States, and 1t is
expected that the Belgium rulers
will come here in September. 1t
was twenty years ago that King
then Prince, Albert paid a visit to
this country. William Mckinley
was then President and this coun-
try was operating under Republi-
can form of government and under
the Republican party. Albert was
then a STRIPPING of "a years, but
keenly interested in governmental
affairs. We had just finished clean
ing I'D Spain and cleaning her out
of Cuba, where, under Weyler the
Bloody. an attempt was being made
to choke national aspiration out of
the champions of Cuba Libre, and
1t was common gossip among the
chancelleries of Europe that once
the United States had assumed con-
troll of Cuban affairs we would never
let up until we had reduced the
island to the status of an Ameri-
can colony. Europe was at that
time covertly enjoining the various
Latin American Republics to take
warning from the pending fate of
Cuba and beware the Colossus of
the North. Review Republican
record in Cuba and be proud!
Prince Albert found a well con-
tented people here twenty years ago.
The Dingley protective tariff law had
been in operation for about two
years and the country was on the
high road to recovery from the aw-
full industrial depression which fol-
lowed the Wilson law of
evil memory and Democratic parent
age. Such thing as bolshevism
was practically unknown. National
ism was sturdy. internationalism
and league of nations undreamed
of. If anyone at that time had sug-
gested that the American people
should delegate their powers to a
super-state, he would have been
laughted at as a lunatic If William
Mckinley had attempted the over
throw of popular government and
the establishment of dictatorship
with any such ruthlessness as has

THAT SCHOOL SITE

-HE School Board will meet Mon
day to consider the proposal of
the City Planning Commission
for the purchase of the Italian Park
Hoffman's Woods site for the new
High School. 1t is to be hoped that
the deal will be closed without de-
Law in order that the board may
proceed at once to get its plans un-
day way.
The Central High School situation
is undeniably bad, and now comes
DR.. Eager with the announcement
that, the Technical High School also
will be over-crowded the coming
year. We cannot permit these con-
ditions to go indefinitely. 1t is not
fair to the school boys and girls OF
ditions to go on indefinitely. 1t is not
Harrisburg and it gives the city an
unenviable reputation abroad.
The uptown location has been be-
fore the people a sufficient time to
develop adverse sentiment If any
were forthcoming and not word of
serious opposition has been raised.
So it may be fairly judged that there
is none.
The only criticism that has been
offered is that the location is not
central, but that has been largely
due to a lack of knowledge on the
part of thise who offered that objec-
ton to the general practice of school
districts with respect to high schools
Location with regard to the center OF
population is not now greatly con-
sidered. Healthful situation, ample
room for expansion, athletic fields
and street car connections are the
factors by which high school sites
are judged. All these the Hoh-
mans Wood site has to an excep-
tional degree.

Protect DYE Industry

tFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
So tremendously important is the
dye industry with all that it involves
in warfare to the Germans that
they will strive in every war to pre-
serve 1t. We say. therefore, that
no duty, no matter how high, may
serve to foster the dye plants that
have been erected in the United
States. True, we now have the Ger
man patents and all of the German
secrets as to colors and shades, but
the plants cannot be run at loss,
and II Germany is permitted to in
wade the market she will herself
shoulder heavy losses in the re-
newal of her old policy to maintain
a monopoly. There is only one way
to safety = forbid the importation
of all dyes for term Of years.

PROPER RECOGNITION

" HE public will agree that no
principle of Civil Service is
violated by giving preference
to United States soldiers, sailors
and marines who were injured in
the service in the allotment of posi-
tions from which ordinarily they
might be barred by physical de-
fects.
When the Civil Service Commits
sion receives an application for
examination from a discharged
Yank, whose physical condition is
such that he would not ordinarily
be accepted, his case is referred to
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. The Federal Board
turns the matter over to field off,
Ger, who promptly goes out after the
man and offers him the services of
the boards organization for special
training to fit him for the work for
which he has applied, or for some
other employment If it does not
seem practicable to train him for
the work for which he made appli-
cation to the Civil Service Commits
sion. Hundreds of such cases have
been referred to the Federal Board
by the Civil Service Commission.
Under a recent amendment of the
Civil Service rules, made on the rec
ommendation of the Civil Service
Commission, the commission may
waive the established physical re-
quirements in favor of disabled
and honorably discharged soldier,
sailor or marine, upon the certifica-
ton of the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education that he has been
specially trained for and has passed
a practical test demonstrating his
physical ability to perform the
duties of the class of positions in

JAPAN WILL MENACE WORLD
Occupation of shantung Regarded as Disaster by Chinese
tGregory Mason in the outlook.l
T HE peace of the whole world
is endangered by the decision

THE peace of the whole world
is endangered by the decision
of the peace conference to give
Japan the special rights and privi-
leges in Shantung formerly held by
Germany" said DR.. c. T. Wang. one
of the most important members of
peace at Paris. We intend to ap-
peal from the decision of the peace
conference to the League of Nations.
If Japan is left in possession of these
particular privileges in Shantung
that province will become an Orien-
tai Alsace-Lorraine.
If you Americans will just think
how you would feel if Japan were
awarded the state of California you
can imagine about how we feel as
regards Shantung. Or, to use an
other illustration, how would the
Belgians feel if Antwerp were
awarded to Great Britain because
the British soldiers were instru-
mental in driving the Germans out
of Belgium?
But the danger is not to China
alone" Doctor Wang continued; ;
"the whole world ought to open its
eyes. The creation of this special
position for Japan in Shantung is a
long step toward very dangerous
degree of Japanese domination in
all China. Suppose Japan gets her
hand on China's vastly rich mineral
resources, and suppose she begins to
train and direct the great reservoir
of man power found in China
