special tax for that purpose, and
that this matter will be taken up

The only nation that would have any
vestige Of right to try William OF ITo-
henzollcrn at the bar OF justice Is his
own native Prussia, and in 4 lesser
degree that portion Of Germany COM
prised IN the confederation of sovereign
states formerly known as the German
Empire always providing that the
Netherlands would have been willing
to surrender him in Difference TO a de-
mand for eXtradition. For although it
has sometimes been contended that the
rulers OF Prussia were above the law,
this was not the case, since Frederick
the Great was successfully sued in
civil process before the courts of Ber
lin by the bold miller OF Potsdam. The
Constitution Of the German Empire
devised by Bismarck in 1871, placed
upon the Kaiser all sorts of restric-
tons which he fiagrantly violated
when he proclaimed war of pure ag-
eressIon without having previously OBJ
tanned the sanction of the Federal
Council. Yet no penalty is provided
for such offences. and since the Ger
man Empire, as then composed, now
has passed ONT Of existence, it is diff
cult to see how he could be brought
to book. even If the Netherlands wero
