What to Do with Ex-Kaiser
Becoming More and More
a Chinese Puzzle.

Paris, March 9.-The special commit
tee on fixing responsibility for the
war and providing for punishment of
the culprits is growing more and more
perpleNed as the question is studied.
The investigators must distinguish be-
tween the former Kai-er and the Ger
man government il an indictment is
to be drawn up against him. They
find this a difficult task. Further
more, the committee cannot see how
the powers can get hold of the former
Kaiser without violating treaties with
Holland.
Feared He'll Rule Again.
Fear persists that unless the former
Emperor is kept under control of the
allies he may return to Germany when
conditions there are settled and may
return to rule. This must be pre-
vehted-but how?
No definite answer has been found
to this question.
One suggestion Is that Holland be
asked to give up Count Hohenzollern

FRANCIS FACTS

Robins to Reply.

Testimony given yesterday by Am
bassador Francis to the Overmsn
OF the Senate. which is
investigating Bolshevik propaganda,
may lead to the recalling OF Col. Ray
mond Robins, OF Chicago, for further
testimony Col. Robins has teIe-
Ersphed to Senator Overman asking
to be heard again. and Senator over
man is in favor of complying with his
request.
The members Of the subcommittee
have been called to meet tomorrow to
determine whether or not Col Robins
is TO be heard.
Ambassador Francis said. among
other things, that Robins appeared TO
he an authorized emissary OF the Boil
shevik government. to this country.
and that he had repeatedly urged
of the Soviet government
of Lenine and Trotsky by the United
States. Robins told an entirely diff
ferent story.
Somebody FaIsired.
He declared himself absolutely or
posed to the Bolshevik government
and declared that he had never sought
to have it recognized by the United
States
Something of sensation may be
created IL Col. Robins takes the stand
again. It is understood that he has
in his possession a great many doCu-
ments, many OF them OF an official
nature. which he will produce to sus-
tain his position with reference to the
Bolsheviki leaders. When he left the
stand last Friday after testifying for
two days he explained to the COM
mittee that IL any subsequent wit
nesses contradicted any Of the state
ments made by him he would request
the privilege Of putting into the rec
ords any papers which he might have
which would prove his case.

ASKING roo MUCH OF us.

When Mr. Hoover, safe on his own thresh-
mold, the other day told the American people
that they ''could rectify the whole business by
not buying any clothes or shoes" for three
months, he showed that his long absence IN
Europe had made him forget the American
ispirit-the whole business in this instance,
being the present high prices OF clothing and
iShoeS..
Mr.. Hoover apparently has forgotten that the
leverage American wants to appear as well
dressed as any other average American. And
too often the average American that he seeks to
lemulate is an American that has great deal
more money than he has. 1t is true that Amerl-
can businessmen are the best dressed men III
the world. 1t is pleasing to know this And 1T
is even more pleasing to know that the average
clerk and the average worker in this country
are better dressed than men in similar positions
in other lands. We are glad to have 1T so and
the desire to appear well dressed is commend
able
1t cannot be denied, however, that the dress
ing business is carried too far in this country
We have too many people who instead OF try
ing merely to be well dressed try to be as we'll
dressed OF even better dressed than some person
that has much greater income. 1t Is not IN
frequently the case that the employe is better
dressed than the employer. Ii the boss wears
ten-dollar shoes the employe feels just as much
entitled to ten-dollar shoes, and he has them,
too.
It is this that makes Mr.. Hoover's advice
that of perfect stranger and therefore utter
" useless.

HoNoRs FOR DR,EYFUs.

Colonel Alfred Dreyfus has been decorated
an officer in the French Legion of Honor IN
recognition of gallant war service This is the
same Dreyfus who, in 1894, was tried for trea-
son, found guilty and imprisoned on Devils IS
land. -Four years later review OF his case
was granted, but it was not until 1903, through
the efforts of Emile lola, Anatole France and
other distinguished men of letters, that Drey-
fus was acquitted and the men who intrigued
against his liberty and honor were punished.
How long ago this seems now! Time was when
Dreyfus, Esterhazy and Macquart were names
that were on everybody's lips. 1t was cele-
brated case, that conspiracy in the French army
and in French politics to ruin Dreyfus and pro
mote anti-Semitism. But it failed, as sooner or
later all conspiracies against truth and justice
must fail. And the man who did the most to-
ward bringing about its failure was Emile lola
He was a courageous fighter, who took up the
cause of the most maligned and despised man IN
France and in consequence became himself ma
hgned and despised. For a long time even
Zola s life was in danger, but he fought on vail
antly against most insuperable odds, and in the
end he was successful Dreyfus, the outcast OF
1894, is a knight of the Legion of Honor IN 1919.
What pity lola is not alive to see the result
of his work

RoBsING PETER TO PAY PAUL

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Former At
torney General FL. w. Byers, now
corporate council for the city of Des
Moines, favors the authorization by
the Iowa general assembly Of a spe-
cial tax assessment by cities for
funds to meet a street railway COM
pany's deficit when it is unavoidable
under a fiye-cent fare; and providing
that no fare shall be in excess OF
five cents. Mr.. Byers takes the cleo
lions at Burlington and Des Moines.
rejecting the proposition for in
creased fares, as indicating that
method of meeting the present ext
gency does not meet with public
approval. His suggested remedy is
taxation.
The Hawk-Eye does not believe
Mr.. Byers' proposition is either legal
or practical. 1t is class legislation.
1t is discriminatory in that it VIC
Iates equality OF rights. 1t takes pri-
vate property without just compen-
sation-in fact, without any compen-
sation. 1t is inequitable and unfair
because it taxes people VINO do not
use the street cars and uses the
money to help patrons of the street
railway to pay their fares.
1t is Impractical because it would
be difficult to determine definitely
whether there is a deficit or whether
by expert bookkeeping it was made
to appear so for the sake of the sop,
or bonus, the city offered. The tax
payers could not always know wheth-
er the deficit -supposing it to be an
actual deficit-was due to misman-
agement or some other cause not
within the purpose OF the act author
izing the special tax.
Mr.. Byers' proposition is about as
complicated as city ownership OF
street railways and is not likely to
have the approval of taxpayers.

Early in his career Mr. Frueauff
learned that to gain recognition an en-
pioye must do something that stands
out. 1t would seem that reading
meters would not offer any great
chances to develop astonishing traits.
But Frueauff developed the habit of
being polite AS side line he has
developed a memory. He remembered
every face that he saw and every
name that he heard. His politeness
won him promotion into the general
offices as clerk. His memory for
faces enabled him to call people by
name and thus reason with them adj
vantageously if there was dispute.
Those who scott at there being any

PROTECTING THE BIRDS.

New York Herald: Uniformity in
state laws to protect migratory birds
lis called for. The federal statute of
la few years ago is not proving
wholly sufficient II has gone long
way toward preventing the extinction
lof the vast flocks of valuable game
birds seen by the settlers who com
iparatively a few years ago pushed
their way westward. Before its en-
actment those flocks, through unre.
strained slaughter, dwindled to the
lappreciable lessening or very valu-
liable food supply. The treaty affect
ing birds migrating between tbs
country and Canada, made in 1915,
also has helped That treaty, unfor-
tunately, does not indicate such
birds as quails, pheasants, grouse and
wild turkey, whose protection Is most
desirable. These still remain wholly
within the Jurisdiction of the states.
Altogether 200 species Of migratory
birds were excluded from the terms
of the treaty because they were not
to be specifically named or do act
feed entirely or chiefly on insects
The federal statute merely fixes
the closed seasons during which 1t
would be unlawful to kill birds
which change their summer and win
ter habitat There is no provision for
effective enforcement. The influence,
however, of this incompetent law
was immediate and powerful. Fully
95 per cent of our sportsmen obeyed
1t at once. All OF them are agreed
that wild fowl is now more abundant
than at any time in tho preceding
twenty-five years. But this is not IN
Keeping with tho food needs Of the

To make the federal law and the
Canadian treaty wholly effective the
co-ordination of state game laws is
clearly required, and sportsmen gen.
orally should cooperate with the gov
Eernment agencies now seeking 20
bring about such uniformity. There
remain more than a score of states
in which the open seasons for wild
fowl do not correspond to the federal
seasons. These should be brought
into line.

LEGITIMATE PUBLICITY.

James |. Clark, manager of the service de-
partment of the National Bank of Commerce, OF
New York City, said some things in an address
delivered before the annual convention OF the
Financial Advertisers association at New Or
leans that while directly concerned with the
problems of publicity men are of almost equal
interest to the newspapers. Mr.. Clark affirmed
that publicity to be legitimate and to maintain
It's place in public confidence must be built
from the viewpoint of the newspapers to which
it goes rather than from that Of the corporation
from which it comes;" further, that "legltl-
mate publicity seeks to inform the public, not
to sell them. The ideal piece of publicity is one
containing matter Of such public interest and
Importance that no live editor will dare to turn
it down for fear of being placed in the position
OF being beaten" Mr.. Clark also declared to
his hearers that publicity new practiced is
defeating itself since it is bringing the public
to class it with advertising pure and simple; he
said: eff your enterprise is not doing things
big enough and important enough to have le-
Ultimate claim on the news interest of the pub

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Coon Rapids Enterprise: Senti-
ment in Iowa, since the speeches Of
Borah and Johnson, and particularly
since that of Senator Kenyon in the
senate, is changing rapidly against
the league without reservations. The
Wilson tour has caused tremendous
backfire. 1t has intensified opposi.
ton. Tho country is insisting
more and more that the league be
Americanized. The Europeanized and
Wisonized league won't do.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
president says he will veto. Does
that mean that he is going to set up
his individual judgment against the
majority Of the senate? By what
process Of reasoning is the eleventh
man on the jury right and the others
wrong? Or is it merely a threat, an
attempt to drive men to do what he
wants done?
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Presi
dent Wilson is just human. He is
bound to make mistakes. His great
est one is his assumption of infalli-
bility. A great many people in the
country who think the treaty should
be ratified as it is are amazed and
chagrined and are silent In the face
of Mr.. Wilson'S stupendous assump'
tion made on his speaking tour that
the covenant cannot possibly be inn
proved and cannot be changed in
any particular without being utterly
destroyed.
Webster City Freeman-Journal:
With the high price of production in
this country it is going to be prob
lem to find profitable, market for
our surplus manufactures. With steel
workers, for instance, getting all the
way from SIS to $40 day. and even
higher, and demanding more, it will
be impossible for steel products to
find outside markets unless foreign
labor is also high.
Davenport Times: We have no
families in the United States whose
members hold official positions by

ment is different But true Ameri-
cans always honor the man who sees
his duty, no matter in what walk of
life he may be found, and does it
bravely and fearlessly., King Albert

snobbery about his manner, nor has
there ever been. He exacts no wor-
ship from his people. He has lived

mocracy on his visit to this country.

And the shocks that your courage stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,

of which Mr.. Clark speaks is means to achieve
ment in the way of bringing the different in

the emphasis in the right place; it is the publ
cation of news that brings publicity into the
