MAY EXILE EX-kAISER
GERMAN cULPRITs MAY MEET
FATE OF NAPOLEON.
Marshal Foch Prepares to Take Dras-
tic Action If Enemy BaIks
at Peace Treaty.

Paris, April 19-The plan of the
council of four to have Belgium prose
cute the former German emperor on
the charge of responsibility for the
war is meeting with objections which
are again bringing up the whole sub
ject for revision.
Those who have the matter in hand
divide the question Of war response
bilities into two distinct classes. The
first class includes military and naval
offenders, like General Ludendorff and
Admiral Tirpitz, and those accused of
various excesses against the usual
rules of warfare.
The, second class includes former
Emperor William, ex-Chancellor Beth
mann-Hollweg and others whose Of
Tense is chiefly Of political nature.
Concerning the political offenders it
is said that a tribunal is not necessary
and would be ineffective, owing to the
legal immunity of political offenders
Therefore it is maintained that the
action against Napoleon / furnishes a
precedent for the determination of the
allied course as a general measure of
policy.
In the case Of Napoleon, there was
no trial, but he was confined on the
Island of st. Helena as a general
measure of policy for the tranquility
of Europe. Some such general policy
is designed to reach ex-Emperor Will
liam and other political offenders with
Belgium or another country against
which the political offenses charged
were chiefly directed acting for the
purpose of securing the extradition
Of the individual as q preliminary to
putting the general policy into effect.
Paris, April Military experts
under the direction Of Marshal Foch
have been charged with the drafting
of a report on what should be done
in the event that Germany refuses to
sign the treaty Of peace.
It is indicated that the methods of
coercion which the allies would adopt
may include the occupation of more
German territory, the blockade Of en-
envy ports and the discnntinuance of
the dispatch of food supplies to Ger
many.

Big Four Meet on Easter.
The "big four met at ten o'clock
Sunday morning to resume their de-
alterations on the Adriatic question on
which they were again deadlocked last
night, after a whole day of confer
ence
The unusual procedure Of spending
Easter morning debating the subject
is indicative of the gravity of the
situation created by the new deadlock
and of the fears lest the question hold
up the actual signing of peace.
What results were obtained in the
efforts to break the deadlock is not
known at the time of cabling.
France and Britain are in complete
agreement with America on the Ques-
ton, but Italy is holding out stubborn
ly, demanding settlement On the lines
ofw the London pact, which gives her
Fiume and nearly the whole of the
Dalmatian coast, as the price for COM
ing into the war on the side of the en-
tente.
Through by April rs.
President Wilson is determined,
however, that neither this nor any 9th
er question shall postpone the signing
of peace, and it is regarded as prac-
tically certain the whole board will
be cleared OH or before April %.
Premier Orlando is due to leave
Paris for Rome today Thursday he is
scheduled to make a speech in the
Italian parliament, giving an account
of what he and his colleagues have OBJ
tanned for Italy at the peace confer
ence.
Time is pressing, therefore, and it is
likely decision either way will be
reached within the next II hours.

Words That Mean much.

The sonorous opening of Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech, "Four score and
seven years ago." is not equivalent to
eighty-seven years ago! Prose hath
her harmonies, no less than poetry. 1t
is such subtleties that make up the
full effect of literary expression.
"Victuals" is not equivalent to ''food,"
"deathlessness" is not the same as
immortality as Lowell showed
when he suggested that we try con-
verting Wordsworth's title, "Intima-
tons of Immortality" into "Hints Of
DeathIeSsneSS."
