interests concerned, the vastness of
the territories affected, or whether
regarded as a great new experiment

May Have Absent Trial
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Some
international lawyers here are in
clined to the belief that former En-
peror William might be expected to
escape trial and punishment at the
hands of such special tribunal as
the peace treaty proposes by chal-.
longing its fairness and demanding
q change of venue on the ground that
the members of the court would at
once be his accusers and judges.
Officials in position to know the
sentiment of nuteral governments
are of the opinion that the Neither
lands never will voluntarily sur
render the former emperor under ex-
tradition proceedings, and that they
say that inasmuch as there has been
no serious suggestion that force be
used to apprehend him, his trial may
proceed in his absence.
