service and scores Of spy plots in the
United States could be run down.
Especially significant is Article III,
which provides military trial for
those guilty Of criminal acts against
citizens OF allied Countries. This pro-
vision would rope in the hundreds Of
military officials who took part in
the ruthless reign of the sword in
Belgium. There is some doubt as to
how far the provisions would extend
especially whether they provide pun
ishment for every one violating not
only the laws but the customs of war.
Whether this would reach those re-
sponsible for, introduction Of deadly
gas in warfare, the submarine and
other inhumane methods, is not quite
clear. However, all such persons
could expect little mercy through the
rigid military code.
Court WOuId BE Free.
. It was pointed out that if the peace
international high court will be prsC-
ticaIly free in conducting the trial in
the absence Of laws covering such az
unprecedented event. It is specified
that in the trial and in reaching a
decision the court will be guided b.
the highest motives Of internationai
policy"
The Kaiser will therefore be placed
at the mercy Of the allied judges who
will fix his punishment at what they
consider just, from the standpoint oi
International morality.
State Department officials would
give no indication as to whether the
allies were united in the desire to
punish Kaiser Wilhelm personally as
being responsible for the war. 1t was
assumed, however. that the commit
tee on punishments at least had
reached an agreement and is willing
TO recommend trial to. the full peace
conference.

they intended to make a strong fight
against article No. p, which espe-
cially exempted the Monroe doctrine

that if the covenant stands as it is
drawn there will still be prOtracted
and bitter debate in the Senate.
Senator BOrah is already out in
criticism of the revised covenant, and
as soon as Senators have opportunity
to analyZe il il is expected that many
others will be heard from.
One OF the subjects of debate will
be the Monroe doctrine and whether
il is adequately. protected by the
revised language. Moreover. there
will arise in this relation an interest
ing question as TO whether the Ian
guage used does not in fact recognize
JapanN speciak rights in the Orient
as under the LansinG-Ishii agreement
and whether, in fact, Japan is not a
great gamer in the covenant at the
expense OF China
The provisions for withdrawal from
the league arc thought by some to
be such that it would be very difficult
for member nation to get out, once
it was in. A nation could withdraw
on two years notice, but not until L
was adtudgcd by the league to have
fulfilled any obligations it had en-
tered into under the covenant.
Indications are that the provisions
in the covenant which guarante TIE
integrity of territory and thus prac-
tically fix the boundaries of the va
rious countries will come in for heat
ed discussion. Many Senators obiact
to what they call putting the world in
a "straitjacket."
The general tone OF comment
among those who have opposed the
league is that the covenant has been
wGIle less Objectionable, but that
all the objections have not been
removed.
Object to Mandatory Plan.
In some quarters. omission OF
Mexico and Costa Rica from the
league is taken to foreshadow a
purpose to make the United States
mandatory for those countries. II
any such purpose becomes apparent,
there will undoubtedly be strenuous
objection in Congress.
