LONDON, July 1.-THE enthusias m
which greeted the amour cement of
Premier Lloyd George that the ex-
Kaiser would be tried in London has
died remarkably soon. The desire to
punish William ii remains, but Eng
lisnmen, even the Germanophobe, are
beginning to question the wisdom of
inficting the extreme penalty upon
him.
Long controversial editorials, special
articles by legal authorities and nu-
merous letters to the editors are ap-
pearing in the press, and most Of the
writers apparently greatly doubt the
advisability Of bringing the ex-Kaiser
to the Tower and staging a dramatic
trial near the precincts Of Westmin-
ster.
What is the charge? is the first ques-
ton asked If it is criminal charge
why the preliminary announcement
that the death penalty will be exclud-
ed? If it IS political, how is he going
to be pulled out of Holland? Who will
sit in Judgment? Who will appear as
prosecutor? What will be the reaction
If he is found guilty and escapes the
extreme penalty? What will be the ef-
feet in Germany. however the verdict
goeso Is it wise, now that peace has
been made, to reopen the question of
sponsibility? What about the junk

Department was advised in dispatch
from Warsaw telling of the alteration
between Polish soldiers and Jewish
residents June 26.
Minister of War Lesniewski's order
in the interest of Jewish protection, re-
ceived to-day, said in part:
GAIL citizens without regard to re-
ligon are equal before the law and
have equal right to protection of au-
thorities. Every violation of civil
rights is a crime to be punished with
the full severity of law. Polish soldiers
are obliged to aid the oppressed. Neg
ligence of this duty is punishable.
II Therefore order:
"In event of any excesses by SOL
diers against the civil population the
nearest military authority will take
necessary measures to stop it in the
beginning.
"All suspected of taking part shall
be arrested and delivered to the near
est military court.
Investigation shall begin imme-
diately and judgment be rendered in
