HE sixtieth birthday of Wilhelm
Won Hohenzollern, sometime
IL German Kaiser, King of Prus-
STA, Margrave of Brandon
burg, etc, etc, also All Highest
War Lord, would-be Attila and
friend and patron of Gott," was
marked by the calm and dignifed manner
in which the overwhelming majority of
the worlds inhabitants, evidently with
out any previous agreement, refused to
take cognizance of the event. In view OF
his boundless vanity probably no amount
of scorn and abuse could have caused
more anguish to the celebrated friend of
Karl Rosner and the owner of 573 mill
tary and naval uniforms than the ex-
tremely scanty notice with which the
American press, for instance, passed up
the anniversary.
Even in Germany the majority of the
newspapers did not so much as mention
the Kaiser's birthday. Only the ultra
conservatives awaited themselves of the
opportunity to stage monarchist demon
stration and to shed few tears for the
glory that was Wilhelm II.
A fearful note is sounded by the
Coblenz "Volkszeitung":
"He is spending his sixtieth birthday in
foreign country. He is an exile. Some
there will be, however, who will think of
him to-day with loyalty and veneration as
in former days, especially when they CON
slider the sad situation occupied by Ger
many at the present time"
The Berlin "Lokalanzeiger," the news
paper which had published Rosners re-
count of the Kaiser's war days, remained
loyal to its traditions by publishing the
following clegy:
Lonely and broken, the Kaiser, an in
voluntary exile. steps over. the threshold
into old age. Behind Wilhelm lies rich
life ending in the dreadful four years of
war, during which his tortured soul fell
from proud posts to bitter disappointment
when each victorious JOY was drowned in
food of calumny.
Before him lies dark and joyless
future. Over his head the hatred of the
whole world suspends a Darnocles sword
of judgment.
"The only consolation we can give him
is to tell him that millions of German
hearts feel deeply that this awful accusa-
ton made against him only veiis the guilt

Remaking Our WOrld-The Second Week


the treaty have resulted in putting
these two British colonial powers with
Japan in a fight against International
lied control of captured territory.
There has been evident some sentiment
on the part of American delegates, ac-
cording to correspondents in Paris,
against giving Japan unrestricted con-
troll of these territories she asks for.
There are other claims held in the bal
ance and not so we'll supported. South
Africa, a self governing British colonial
power, wants Kamerun and other Ger
man properties in Africa. Belgium
wants one Of the African properties.
President Wilson's policy of interna-
tionalization was described in various
news reports as meaning joint control
of Constantinople, Kiao-chau and Fiume,
the bone of contention between Italians
and Jugo-Slavs.
An Associated Press dispatch on Fri
day stated that, according to authorlta-
tive evidence, the Great Powers had ac-
copied the American proposal for SUI
pervison of German colonies by manda-
tory powers, deriving their authorities
from the leagGe Of nations. And just
prior to this, the correspondent Of 1.-The
London Daily Mal' wrote from Paris:
"'The British Imperial War Cabinet has
accepted President Wilson's theory OF in
standardization as applied to the cap
tured German colonies, Notwithstanding en-
ergetic protests from the repre- sentatives
Of the dominons. These protests have been
of the gravest character. The South Afri-
can representatives believe acceptance will
give the greatest encouragement to the
rebel element in South Africa which it ever
has received during British administration.
The Australian delegates fear that Aus
tralian public opinion will regard it as ex-
tremely unsatisfactory and inexplcablc. The
dominion representatives generally, though
very retcent, are greatly pcrturbed.'
The real result of the decision will
be to put into effect the principle
Of mo annexations," according to
commentators on the scene. Forci-
BILE accession Of territories to which
no actual claim exists is no longer held
to be tolerable. The plan as it is expected
to 90 into effect will give certain nations
mandatory power over conquered ter
ritory, but these nations will remain al
ways In the position Of stewards and

How theFierce

Ancient Rome Had Bolshe-
viks, Too. How Spartacus
Fled to the Mountains,
Raised an Army and Spread
Terror Through the Realm

"HE Spartacides, who figure so
largely in the troublous affairs
of Germany, owe their name to
the Spartacus who lived in
Rome before the birth of Christ, we
learn from A. f. Giles, writing in re-
cent issue of "The New Europe:
"Ths choice Of the name Spartacus-a

the extreme revolutionary faction, announces
to Germany and to the world, with a kind
Of self-conscious and pedantic turbulence,
the spirit and the aim of the movement
these men are directing. A short tale from
Roman history suffices to point the modern
moral-a tale of much significance and of
evil omen.
an rs B. c. the Roman Republic had
passed more than half way through that
century of sedition and civil war which
was to issue In the dictatorship of Caesar
and finally in the yelled despotism of Au-
gustus. At that date the oligarchical gov
ernment-recently restored by the arms Of
Sulla-was demonstrating its own incompe-
tence and corruption. Italy was seething
with discontent harassed by recurrent
panics Of famine, and full of broken men
Of all sorts. A series of tedious, costly
and Ill managed foreign wars-in Spain
and in Asia Minor-had drawn away most
of the trained soldiers from Italy, and the
only troops available against disorder were

caly no organized police.

''can be relied on to promote its Objects"
1t will have a permanent organization,
with definite periods for conference and
survey of world problems. A commission
was appointed to work out constitution
for the league and establish its functions
These are the members of the commits
sion: President Wilson and Colonel
House, Lord Robert Cecil and General

Otherwise
A multitude of matters have come be-
fore the attention of the world represen-
tatives. A delegation has been ordered to
be sent to Poland as a commission of
inquiry. Coincident with this action was
the action of the United States govern
ment in giving recognition to the Pade-
rewski government in that ancient land.
Commissions have been appointed to
gather information and report on other
questions of international import - re-
sponsibility for the war, PREPARATION, con-
ditions of employment in their interna-
tional aspects, an international regime
for ports and waterways. Unsettled peo-
pies in the world have been warned by
the supreme council of the conference
that warning territorial claims must

any attempt at possession by force.
President Wilson, in communicating
his sympathy with the cause of equal
suffrage to delegation of French wom-
en-, at the same time declared his unwll-
ingness to bring it up before an interna-
tional body, on the ground that it is a
question for states to. decide for them
selves. No agreement to attend the pro-
posed conference on Princes Island to
aid in settling the Russian problem has
yet come from any of the factions asked
to attend. The Bolshevik Foreign Min
lister, Tchitcherin, is reported to look on
the plan with suspicion. Leaders of the
North Russian group are said to have
conference where leaders of the Maximal-
ist groups would also be in attendance.
The commission appointed to look into
the responsibility for the war will also
investigate violations of the laws and
conventions of warfare by Germany and
her allies, responsibility fot@violations by

guity-and to tell him that this judgment
cannot stand before the tribunal of world
history"
Besides this outpouring, the ex-Kaiser
received a large quantity of flowers
from his admirers in Germany and Hol-
land, or, as a correspondent puts it,
naIvely, from schoolgirls and former
supporters
The "Reichsbote" bewailed the fact
that of ali the Conservative parties only
the German National Peoples party (the
old conservatives and pan-G ermans) had
the courage to suggest in its election
programme the restoration of a mon
archial form of government, and that
even this solitary suggestion, extremely
modest in its form, was suppressed in
nearly all the conservative papers. To
which the "Norwarts" retorted that this
proved only how damned unpopular" the
monarchial idea has become
The New York Tribune, noting the
movement in Berlin to bring the Kaiser
back to power, recalls the case of an
inventor in New York who pestered
Mayor Gaynor for permission to leap

The League

As for the league of nations idea it.
self, that appears to be a fully accepted
reality
The league of nations was born with
a certain amount of ceremony on Janu-
airy 25 1t was initiated at the word
Of President Wilson, who addressed the
peace conference on the invitation of
Premier Clemenceau, president of the
conference.
at will not suffice" said President
Wilson, in speaking of the peace the
world would like to have, ''to satisfy
government circles anywhere. 1t is nee
essary that we should satisfy the opinion
of mankind. 1t is a solemn
obligation on our part, therefore, to
make permanent arrangements that JUS
tice shall be rendered and peace main
tanned"
The United States could not have
taken part in guaranteeing European
settlement, the President told his hear
ers, unless it involved a continuous
superintendent of the peace of the
world by the associated nations Of the
world.
The league plan was adopted by the
conference in plenary session. This is
a part of Che statement Of establish
ment:
at is essential to the maintenance Of
the world settlement which the associated
nations are now met to establish that
league of nations be created to promote
international obligations and to provide
safeguards against war"

placed" and will draw up a constitution
and procedure for a tribunal to give trial
to these persons. The commission on
reparation will judge the amount to be
paid, what enemy nations are capable of
paying, and the method, form and time
of payment.
A commission will also inquire into in
ternational means Of securing common
action with respect to labor problems in
their international aspects, and will
recommend some form of permanent
agency to cooperate with and under the
direction of the league of nations. This
subject is dealt with at length on Page 2
of the Review this week Members of
the commission on labor for the United
States are e. N. Hurley and Samuel
Gompers. An international regime for
control of ports, waterways and railways
will also be effected by the work of an
other commission.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-02

While it is true that, at the present
writing, the latter decision has not at
tanned definite disqualification, the
weight of evidence seems to point to it's
accomplishment.
In taking up these two issues it is
important to note that, while the league
OF nations was agreed upon almost
without debate, when the time for de-
clsion actually arrived the launching Of
the German colonies discussion was i'm
mediately yelled in secrecy The doors
were closed. We do not yet know the
full trend of the debate, which. how
ever, seems to have entailed some
rather heated controversy.
In short, this has been the first pro-
tracted battle in the Sale de. la Paix.
And the united voice Of the correspond
ents lowering in the vicinity advises the
world against taking too much of the
evidence which has seeped out as indie
alive of the final settlement.
This question Of conquered territory
has tested the mettle of the conferrees.
There were signs at the beginning Of
the discussion that England seemed to
find way out of many perplexities by
asking that the United States assume
the trusteeship OF some of the con-
quered territory This was particularly
the case with reference to portions OF
Africa. The situation has been COM
piicatcd by the appearance Of another
secret treaty, between Great Britain
and Japan, and referring to the DISPOSE
ton Of German colonies, entered into
before American participation in the
war. BY the terms Of this treaty the
Marshall Islands, east Of the Philip
pines and south Of Japan, would go to
japan, and New Guinea, the Bismarck
and the Samoan group would 40 to Aus
tralia and New Zealand. The terms OF

power There is a disposition on the
part of some European observers to be-
lieve this is merely a reconstruction of
the old system Of spoils to the conquer
ors under another name. Details which
will illuminate the justice or falsity of
this view are still to be worked out.
The Japanese delegates have held them
selves aloof in the discussion, but there
are signs that Japan will acquiesce when
it becomes clear that world opinion de-
mands international control.
1t is accepted by most of the CORE
spondents writing from Paris that &C
ceptance of this principle Of mo an
nexations' is the first real work under
taken by the peace conference to give
reality to its decision in favor of
league of nations.
