Former Chief Of Staff Registers Strong Disapprova When
Questioned Regarding Allies Demands for Tribunals to Try
German Officers

the war and Germany alone must,
therefore, be made to bear the con-
sequences. In this way the allies seek
to hide their own guilt and clothe
their political intrigue with the mantle

mystified and baffled world"
.Do you think that the allies could
be induced to accept an impartial in-
ternationai tribunal."
That would be the proper solution.
The Hague arbitration court should
set up a tribunal before which all

! motion made by some one on the
Republican side. the purpose being
TO have the motion beaten by the
solid vote of the Republicans and the
Democrats who are against the

intention 10 make the molten on Feb

day hs senator Walsh of Montana.
I, provoked no discussion from eth

western trip,
Senator Lodge declined to make any
comment on the report, saying that
no action had been considered by the
Ikepublicans with respect to the mo-
