THE TRIAL OF THE Ex-KAIsER.

News dispatches tell us of a rcae-
ton of the general sentiment among
the allied nations that the former Ger
man emperor and other Ger
man yiolators of the laws Of humanity
should he brought to trial and pun
ished for their inhuman crimes. In
England there is feeling that the
trial should be held in some neutral
country where there is not such a bit
ter hatred Of the accused In Germany
there is much bitterness over the hu-
initiation of seeing a former emperor
hailed into court like q common muir
dcrer and the development of great sym
pathv for the man who had deserted
them in the hour of defeat. Unquestion-
ably he win be a martyr in the Ger
man mind for years to come.
Perhaps the suggestion of the English
men that the trial be held in a neutral
country should be endorsed: but failure
to bring him and his associates in
crime to trial would strengthen the pos.
sihilities of future war. If the civilized
world at this time can establish the
precedent Of personally furnishing the
instigators Of war it will greatly res
train individual war ambitions in the
future. To establish such an interna-
tional procedure of justice might he as
strong a guaranty of future peace as
the league of nations and other pacts
entered into by the world powers.
We hope the trial viii not be pre-
vented and that monarchy will no long
er be protected in its revolving crimes
against civilization.

Delayed Applications
Of Fertilizers

Lack Of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton on railways and consequent delays
TO shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being ap-
piled to the crop at time of planting
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application of fertilizer as a
decreasing to rowed crops, or as a
top-drcssing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
to make the delayed fertilizer applica-
ton in this way than to attempt to
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive
The big problem is to apply the fertile
er with the least possible amount OF
labor, but at such a time, and in such
a way, as to make it most effective.
