reservation on April 18th, 1919,
and the result thereof should be
sof no small amount of interest and

called after James l. Cotfey had
previously held one Of his usual
brush councils on that reservation
st which time he took occasion to
indulge ia his-usual line Of lnfam,

that he had convinced a sufficient

PARIS, July 5.-Lloyd Georges state
ment that the former Kaiser will be
tried in London overshadows the other
parts of his speech in public interest
in Paris. where emphasis is laid on the
fact that the trial was most unexpect-
ed. especially since, so far as known in
American circles, Holland has given no
assurance that she will give up Hohen-
zollern when the Allies ask for his eX-
tradition.
The fact that American officials al
ways have been skeptical regarding the
adrisability and the result Of the trial
ard the further fact that Belgian and
French officials have carefully alb
stained from mention Of the former
Kaiser in recent months have created
the impression here that the British
will be left to assume the fullest re-
sponsibility for gathering ard present
ing evidence against the former En-
peror, as well as carrying on the ne
ROTATIONS with Hol.a and for his extra
dition.
Thus. after 100 years. Great Britain
again is demonstrating history's cycles
by taking the leading part in isolatlng
another ambitious Emperor who threat
ened Continental Europe and Great
Britain's balance of power.
Opinion is divided in official circles
regarding the possibility of reaction
in favor of the farmer Kaiser in Ger
many, some believing that it will make
him a martyr and pave the way for re-
building the German military party
and others thinking it will be the
greatest lesson to the German Junkers
that their power is gone forever. How
ever. there is quite general satisfac-.
ton that the whole clouded question OF
the wars origin will be thrashed out
and Germany's guilt or innocence for
the world confagration be fixed by the
first authoritative judicial body deal
ing with the facts.
