Sir Frederick Pollock Says
Precedent Must Be Set to
Stop WouId-be Napoleons.
By WILLIAM l.. MALLABAR-
]. N. Q. stan Correspondent.

LONDON, Jan. S.--The trial of will
liam Hohenzollern before an interna-
tional tribunal "for a supreme offence
against International morality and
the sanctity Of treaties" and for
plotting war which brought grief to
millions. is designed not only to pun
ish the former war lord, but also as
a warning to any would-be-Napoleon
in the future.
This information came today from
Sir Frederick Pollock. the famous
British international law expert and
privy councillor who drew up the orig
inal draft of the indictment against
the ex-kaiser.
This statement was made on the
eve of the departure OF Sir Frederick
from London. II was stated at his
offices that he would be absent for
about a week. but his whereabouts
and the nature of his mission was
not revealed. 1t was said that ais
trip is in connection with plans for
the extradition of the onetime ruler Of
Germany from Holland and his ulti-
mate trial
'This is not an action against the
former German emperor so much "a
an effort to end the possibility for any
uncivilized persons carrying out such
policies in the future as those held
by the eN-kaiser.
THE allies are not interested pri-
marily in the ex-kaiser as a person
nor his personal punishment. There
are questions involved bigger than
that. The actual thing sought is the
trial and the branding for all time
OF an International idea-the power
OF one single man to declare war
against tho world.

preventing this in the future"
