Hollweg Would Be
Tried For Kaiser

Within the next thirty days the
allies will submit to the German gov
ernment a list OF persons who are
charged with responsibility for caus-
ing the war. or who are alleged to
have violated the rules OF civilized
warfare. In this connection, DR..
Theobald Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg,
who held the office OF imperial Ger
man chancellor in 1914 when the war
broke out. has formally asked the
allies to place him on trial instead Of
former Emperor William. The for
mer chancellor assumes full and
complete responsibility for the acts
Of Germany during his incumbency.
Since the signing of the treaty
little has come out of Germany to
indicate the frame of mind of the
German people generally, nor have
the disorders which seemed very
serious during the last three weeks
assumed more threatening aspect
The railroad strike which last week
virtually stopped traffic in Berlin
and seemed about to spread thruout
the country has been settled, 1t is
announced. Government troops sent
to restore order in Hamburg, where
there were serious riots during the
last fortnight have withdrawn from
that city and left it in the hands OF
the provisional government estab-
lished 10 the radicals.
In Bresleau, however, there Is a
situation that seems to be serious
for the moment at least. Martial
law. has been proclaimed there after
the entry of government troops who
have taken control of the railway
station from the strikers.

to Great Services
y! Rendered. II

WY HEN the Revolution began
NM Americans were still pio-
wv neers and straight shooters.
Tho country was full OF men
who had seen service In war against
the French and Indians. Washington
had been all bis life a soldier. 1t is
not surprising that American officers
felt quite able to handle the military
situation without assistance from the
host Of applicants for commissions
from abroad Therefore when Wash-
ington heard that a young Frenchman
named Lafayette had left his wife and
child and crossed the ocean TO serve
the American cnuse as a volunteer
without pay. he muttered: "0ne more
incumbrance." But Lafayette pleaded:
Che me n chance; I do not want to
be an honorary soldier"
He went to Washlngton's camp and
there began friendship which ran
through so many years like an ldyl. In
i1SS Brissot visited Washington at Mt.
Vernon with a letter from Lafayette.
