THE BIG PROBLEM.

He's a Hunkie Of Wop, he's a Dago
or a Greek.
And the language of our country is
tongue he cannot speak,
He has sought the land of freedom
for the dream is in his breast,
And he's cropping rather blindly for
the things he knows are best
He's a power for good or evil, he will
hate US or revere
And become a friend or traitor from
the way We treat him here.
He has heard about our country in
a vague and hazy way,
It's the land where men are happy
and where little cn:!dren play,
But he's strange to all the Gust toms
that surround him now he's here
And he misses much that's spoken,
but he understands a sneer.
He would like to do as we do, but
he doesn't quite know how,
And hell never grow to like use, if
we all neglect him now.
There's a mighty force within him
II we only understood,
We can spurn it to our danger or
can mold it to our good:
We can turn our backs upon him. or
can make OF him friend,
Who will come to speak our lam
guage and the flag we love de-
fend.
But it's not enough to pay him for
the labor of his hand
We must teach him all our customs
till he learns to love our land
He's Hunkie of Wop, he's a Dago
or a Greek.
Bue he's very busy thinking. though
his thoughts he cannot speak.
In the future he'll be somethfne-
that III true of every man
And the blame may be upon us If
he's not American
So let's make OF him a Yankee and
let's treat him as a friend.
And let's teach him love of freedom
1T Will pay US in the end.

BELGIUM WILL NOT TRY |
WILHELM, AS ASKED
Delegates Hold Such Action Should
Be Taken by Associated
Powers.

PARIS. April Is (by the Associated
Press).-The Belgian delegation to
the peace conference today Informed
the correspondent that Belgium had
not been officially requested by the
council of four to bring the former
German emperor to trial, and that
the Belgian government would feel
obliged to decline to take the STEP
even If there were any request for
such action.
The Belgian delegates hold that any
action should be taken by commits
sion representing all the associated
powers. The official Belgian view. it
was said, is that the former emperor
cannot be arraigned for declaring
war or violating the neutrality of
Belgium. or for any act preceding or
coincident with the declaration of
war.
After pointing out that there Is no
tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former emperor,
and no provision Of international law
covering such cases the delegates
said that Belgium expects that per-
sons guilty of acts punishable under
the criminal codes of any of the bel
ligerent powers should be placed on
trial, as the fact that theft, murder
and other crimes were committed dur
ing war does not relieve the criminals
of responsibility.
If the commission desires to ar
raign Gen. Baron Won Mantueffel for
the sacking of Louvain, Gen. Won
Schroeder Tor the murder of Capt.
Fryatt and Gen. Won Sauberzweig for
the execution of Miss Edith Cavell, all
the necessary documents will be
forthcoming" said the general secre-
tary of the delegation. But Belgium
does not seek revenge. 1t wants only
justice. 1t would be small satisfaction
to lock up the kaiser for a few months
in the st. Gill prison. and those who
have reported that such revenge has
been offered Belgium as a solace for
her wrongs have sadly misunder-
stood the Belgian character if they
thought it would be acceptable.
THE only case in which the personal
responsibility of the ex-emperor for a
criminal act committed in Belgium
could be established beyond doubt is
in the atrocities attending the de-
portations of civilians and compelling
them to do forced labor in Germany.
In this case his responsibility is un-
questioned"
