The Rights of the Library.

T is greatly to be hoped that the Finance
Committee of Council in making up the
1920 budget will not lose sight of the
needs and merits of the Carnegie Library

OF the community's life and touches them
vitality, is suffering for the bare necessities of
subsistence. Reduced in funds it has been
forced to curtail its service until at last a

Shall the Kaiser Be Tried9

cost competent observers are of the
M opinion that Hollands refusal to
surrender William Hohenzollern
virtually closes the case. There are other
procedures, it is true, to which the plaintiff
nations could resort; and in the background
stand possible measures of force. They could
exert pressure upon the Weimar Government
to ask the return of the ex-Kaiser, to be
dealt with by a German tribunal-though this
plan would prove rather embarrassing if it
ended in the culprits acQuittal. Again,
they could insist that the former monarch s
continued presence near Germany's frontier
would embolden the Junker enemies of re-
publican government and that as safeguard
to both German and European peace, he
should be sent from the continent to some
overseas place of detention. International
lawyers point out in this connection that
legally Holland would be maintaining the
rights and duties Of asylum (Which constitute
the main ground of her REFUSAL to surrender
the refugee) if she kept Wilhelm under the
Dutch fag--somewhere out of Europe"
Finally, if they deemed the case IF that much
consequence, the Allies could press their de-
mand to an ultimatum reinforced by battle
ships and bayonets. 1t appears extremely
doubtful, however, that the issue will be car
red that far, or even maintained in more
than perfunctorily legalistic mood.
For there is deepening opinion that the
plucked Hohenzollern goose now hiding his
noddle among the bikes is not worth pulling
back into the notoriety which he inveterately
craves-not even for the sake of feeding the
gallows bird to which it is entitled. If pun
ishment be the chief consideration what
sharper lash could be wished for this king of
| conceited martinets than his present OBJ
security in a world which he confidently count
ed upon bestriding? mo one troubles to
take note of him. a keen-eyed observer
writes ''he is not welcome at his hosts
castle; nobody even cares whether he does or
does not saw wood He is most emphatically
has-been." To be lifted from this nonentity
into the high light of an International court
and there Napoleonized, would be intensely
gratifying to the ex-Kaiser's sense of vain
glory; but whom else would it advantage?
Surely no substantial interest of Europe or
| Of the world is to be served by gouging into
the fresh wounds of the war Not this but
healing and recuperation are what the battle
stained peoples need. Wise policy alone, it
would seem, should deter the Powers from
steps that would tend to make Wilhelm
Hohenzollern an object of pity or of sympathy
IN Germanys eyes instead of the inglorious
and even contemplate figure he now is AS
matters stand, mOnarchist plotters would
nave a ridiculous time of it trying to bestir
enthusiasm for the reimbursement of
fugitive who skunk from his post in the hour
OF gravest responsibility and forsook the land
whose sons he had sent to slaughter That
is the ex-Kaiser's present status. 1t is his
true status. For the good of the world as
we'll as of Germany, it were best not to Eonize
hIm-not even as criminal.

CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST

The dispatch of Japanese renforcementS to
Siberia was unavodably necessary, to assist the
Czechs and guard the extensive railways, Pre-
mier Hara declared in replying to interpella-
tionS in the Diet, the Japanese legislative
body, few days ago 1t was also necessary
as a means of assuring the safety of the Jap
anese garrison. There was no reason to with
draw the japanese troops, added the Premier,
simply because the Americans were being with
drawn, the position of Japan and China in the
Far East being far different from that of the
United States of Great Britain. Also, he point
ed out. the future moves of the BolShevik
in Siberia could not be forecast
Foreign Minister Uchida also said that imme-
diate Withdrawal was impossible.
Aliens and citizens alike between the ages of
sixteen and twenty-one years of age who are
illiterate would be compelled to attend classes
of instruction 200 hours yearly under an amend
ment to the KENYON Augmentation bill adopt
ed by the senate.
As originally drafted the bill would have
affected persons of American birth between
hose ages, but all aliens between sixteen and
forty-five years OF age Modification was deemed
advisable 10 avoid conflict with treaties exist
ing between the United States and various for
cign countries.
Numerous art treasures, valued al several
million crowns, have been stolen from the
art museum in Vienna. Among the valua-
bic relics taken by the thieves were the
marshals' batons, set with brilliants, that be-
longed to Emperor Francis I and Duke
Charles of Lorraine.
Viscount Uchida, the foreign minister, re
plying in the japanese house of peers 10 an

was prohibiting such emigration in accord

4 Wiser Russian Policy

VX7HATEVER may have been the pOi''lca'
NAj considerations that led the Allies to
relax the Russian blockade, the prac
teal consequences of the act are looked for
ward to with high hopes. 1t may be that
Labor and Socialist sentiment in the Entente
countries was the motive power behind Lloyd
Georges sudden move and the acquiesence OF
Clemenceau and Nitti. Howbeit, the weight
of business judgment and diplomatic instinct,
as distinguished from militaristic prejudice,
is plainly for the new policy.
If the blockade had proved effectual in
strangling Bolshevism, it would have Justl-
fed itself war measure and nave been
altogether praseworthy in net results; for
Bolshevism is as deadly a foe to freedom
and civilization as was Prussianism itself.
But the inhibition upon trade with Russia
had no such happy results.
On the contrary it gave Lenine and his
crew an excuse for the wretched incompe-
tency of their regime, making them martyrs
in the eyes of many poor man who other
wise would have perceived their folly and
knavishness clearly enough. But with the
blockade lifted, these adventures longer
can plead outside persecution and lack of
fair chance in extenuation of the failure of
their unsound scheme of government. Under
the abnormal economic conditions which have
prSFdll6u Ill fuSSld LUZ Inc last ISW years.
fantastic theories have had a most fertile
chance to impose upon the credulous; but
let the natural processes of trade and pro-
duction and commerce with the outer world
resume, and those theories will stand re-
Vealed in their real asininity.
Furthermore, the opening of Russia to
sane ideas from western Europe and from
America should have considerable influence
in washing its air clean of soviet germs In

An invasion of anti-Bolshevist bayonets

ments imply no change of policy toward the
SOVIET government" There is to he sinn1v
