Aviation making rapid Strides.


1t is estimated that aviation is
about twenty years in advance OF
what it would have been had it not
been for the war, and now that
peace has been declared, this know
ledge is being turned from a means
of destruction to one of usefulness
to the commercial world. 1t Will on
ly be matter of few years un-
til huge aerial liners will be cross
ing the oceans from continent to
contingent with perfect safety and
tremendous speed.
The young men of the country are
seeing into the future of the en-
terprise, and are preparing them
selves for the time when the COM
merciaI world will acknowledge av-
iatien as an indispensable asset
to the commercial world.
The following announcement is
made by the War Department

7 HE TRIAL.
OF kA|SER R
William Is Warning to Rulers
They Can't Butcher and
Steal Under the
GUISE OF LEGAL WARFARE
CBv the Associated Press.)

Paris, June 1.-THE Allied Gov
ernments do not attempt to justify
their demands for the trial of the ex-
Kaiser and the surrender of the Ger
mans accused of violation of the law
of war on any strictly legal grounds.
This accords with Sescertary Lam
sings view expressed in his minority
report as a member of the Repara-
tions Commission of the Peace con-
ference, that in order to justify the
trial of the accused Germans legally
it would be necessary to charge them
with specific crimes.
The Council of the Great Poweyrs
decided to adopt the view that inter
national safety justified them estab-
fishing a new practice in dealing
with those of high estate who had
been responsible for causing the war.
They support this new order of
things on the ground that it is es-
sential as an example for the future
heads and ministers of Govern
ment whose ambitions lead them to
bring on war and for those who are
guilty of cruel practices in the con-
duct of a war. Under the caption,
Penalties the allied Governments,
after reiterating their conviction
that they regard the punishment of
those responsible for bringin G
these calamities on the human race
as essential on the score of justice, -
go on to say:
"Also they think it not less neces-
sary as deterrent to others who at
follow their example. The present
treaty is intended to mark a de-
parture from the traditions and the
practices of earlier settlements which
have been singularly inadequate in
preventing the renewal of war. The
allied and associated powers indeed
consider that the trial and punish
ment of those proved most respon-
, sible for the crimes and inhuman
acts committed in connection with
the war Of aggression is inseparable
from the establishment of that reign
of law among nations which it is the
agreed object of the peace to set up.
"As regards the German conten-
tion that the trial of the accused by
tribunals appointed by the allied and
associated powers would be a one
sided and inequitab1e proceeding, the
allied and associated powers consid-
er that it is impossible to intrust in
any way the trial of those directly
responsible for the offensive against
humanity and international right to
their accomplices in their crimes. AL
most the whole world has banded it
self together in order to bring to
naught the German plan of conquest
and dominion. The tribunals they
will establish will therefore repre-
sent the deliberate judgment of the
greater part of the civilized world.
They cannot entertain the proposal
to admit to the tribunal representa-
tives of countries which have taken
no part in the war. The allied and
associated powers are prepared to
stand by the verdict of history as to
the impartiality and justice with
which the accused will be tried"
