Opposed Kaiser Trial

When Andrew Bonar Law, government spokesman,

of Commons Monday, member of the house asked:
"Is the spokesman of the government that
nobody particularly wants the exkaiser brought here?
Members of the house cheered when the question
put.
There is every evidence that the so-caled king trust
does the ex-kaiser tried and the rhonarchal
res of all European countries opposed to the trial
European statesmen show interest whatever in
questing Holland to turn him in the possible date
of the trial, or in what becomes of him.
They content to let him sink into ignomny
Which significant in view of the fact that it the

not deal harshly with George, for the
fellow is but tool in the hands of
the autocrats of England. He is paid
a salary, his relations away back to
the three hundred and thirty second
degree of kindred, are pensioned,
therefore he adopts the. line of
least resistance, and the only
role he plays nowadays is that of hand
shaker to returned soldiers. The
Irishman who sings patriotic song

that he does not recognize British
