Axis Denies Attacks
On Petain and Laval
Reported Efforts to Kill
Officials Declared False

By the Associated Press.
The Berlin radio announced last
night that the Vichy French Min
istry of the Interior had denied
certain reports abroad that an
attempt had been made on the lives
of Marshal Henri Philippi Petain
and his chief of government, Pierre
Laval.
The broadcast, recorded by the
Associated Press, was the first sug-
gestion received In New York that
such reports were circulating
The announcement, broadcast in
the form of Vichy dispatch to the
German Transocean news agency,
said:
Nothing is known in Vichy about
an alleged assault made on the life
of Marshal Petain and Premier
Laval, as certain reports abroad
would have it. The French Min
istry of the Interior denied these
reports, stating that any such
rumors were pure inventions"
The denial at first caused equal
surprise in both New York and
London. where normally there are
number of sources through which
such reports abroad" would be re-
ceived almost Immediately.
Later, however, a plausible ex-
planation developed as the German
controlled radio stations in Vichy
began to broadcast the denial for
domestic French consumption. This
suggested that the rumors of an
attack on Marshal Petain and
Premier Laval, while not circulat-
ing abroad" as stated, actually
were making the rounds in Occu-
pied France, where tension under
the German oppression runs high.

only German leader whom the VIC
torious Allies had marked for pun
ishment. Another article in the YER
sailles treaty stipulated that "the
German government recognizes the
right of the Allied powers to bring
before military tribunals persons ac-
cused of having committed acts in
violation of the laws and customs
of war The German govern
ment shall hand over to the Allied
powers all persons accused of such
offenses."
A list of 900 names, which in
cluded almost all of the military and
political leaders of Germany during
the war, was prepared in accord
ance with this article. The publica-
ton of this list, which was headed
by the names of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Ludendorf,
stirred up a violent protest among
the people of Germany and the new
rulers of that country pleaded with
the Allies not to force, them to hand
over these war criminals, declaring

that it would mean the overthrow
of the government and the resultant
chaos.
Farcical Trials.
In response to this plea, the Allied
governments cut the list down to As
persons and permitted the Germans
to conduct the trials. The result
was foregone conclusion. The
Germans stalled as long as possible
on the matter and it was not until
three years after the war ended that
a court in Leipzig went through the
motions of staging trial. All of
the war criminals were freed either
because their Innocence was
proved" or because their misdeeds
were not covered by German law"
BY this time the Allies were no
longer allied and public sentiment
among their peoples was largely in
different to the idea of retribution.
AS a climax to the whole farcical
affair, the outstanding "war GRIM
inal," Won Hindenburg, was elected
president of the republic of Germany
and the weakness of this hard-bitten
old warrior as the head of a civil
government paved the way for the
rise of Adolf Schickelgruber. So
the "war criminals" section of the
Versailles treaty remained as the
only dead letter in it until this same
Schickelgruber made the others
dead letter also by tearing up the
whole treaty and hurting it in the
faces of Germany's conquerors.
Will the ''war criminals" of 1899
"get away with it, the same way
that those of 1914 did? Will Schick-
elgruber emulate the kaiser and find
sanctuary in some neutral coun-
try? The list of such possible
Ravens is small indeed-Sweden,
Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and
Turkey-and it is doubtful if any of

trated on the head Of the president
of the Confederacy.
After Lees surrender Davis, with
members of his cabinet, fled south
and he was captured in Georgia. He
was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe
and subjected to unnecessary indig-
mites through the influence of GER
tain revengeful members of the
radical wing of the Republican party
who were determined to bring him
to trial for his "war guilt" Finally,
after two years, Davis was released,
with Horace Greeley and other
Northerners, who had been his Bit
terest enemies during the war, pro-
viding his bail bond. His health
broken by his prison experience and
the public cutlery for revenge having
died down, no further effort was
made to prosecute him.

Will Trial of the War Criminals Be
Aftermath of Unconditional Surrender!
They Didn't Hang Kaiser
In 1918, but Will Adolf
Be as Lucky?
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

Released by Western Newspaper Union.
1T UNCONDITIONAL sur
render" is the watch
word of the Allies and,
after that has been brought
about, the Axis leaders who
plunged the world into war will
be placed upon trial for the
crimes against humanity which
they and their followers have
committed.
Such is the promise of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill and it is not like
ly that there will be any objec-
ton to that program from Jo-
seph Stain and Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek. Certainly if
the people of Poland, France,
Belgium, Holland, Norway,
Denmark, Greece and Czecho-
Slovakia have anything to say
about it, Hitler, Mussolini, Hiro-
hito and their fellow interna-
tional gangsters will not escape
punishment as did Kaiser Will
helm a quarter of a century
ago.
Back in 1918 chang the kaiser"
was popular slogan in the Allied
countries even after the German
monarch had abdicated and found
refuge in Holland That slogan
helped continue Prime Minister
Lloyd George in power in the British
elections of November, 1918, and that
the promise in it might be made
good was indicated by Article 227 of
the Treaty of Versailles, which was
signed few months later. The
article said:
The Allied and Associated
Powers publicly arraign Will
helm III of HohenzOllern, former
~ German emperor, for SUI
preme offenses against interna-
tional morality and the sanctity
of treaties. The Allied and
Associated Powers will address
a request to the government Of
the Netherlands for the surren-
{ der to them of the ex-emper0r
in order that he may be put on
trial.
Accordingly it was proposed that
tribunal, consisting of five judges,
one each from the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan, should be organized to serve
as a court of justice for the arch
criminal, and in January, 1920, a
formal demand was made upon Hol-
land for his surrender. But imme-
diately the plan struck a snag. For
the Dutch government announced
that it was not signatory to the
Versailles treaty, therefore not
bound by its terms and, moreover,
its national honor forbade the sur
render of the royal refugee.
Expressing the fear that the kali
ser might flee from Holland, the
Allied governments repeated their
demand. But Queen Wilhelmina and
her ministers announced that this
fear was groundless since by royal
decree the kaiser would be restrict
ed to a certain section of Utrecht
and forbidden to leave it. Warning
the Dutch government that "the re-
sponsibility is now that of the Meth
erlands," the Allies left the matter
there and so the Prussian 'war-lord
retired to his wood-chopping at
Doom where he lived to see an
Austrian house-painter revive his old
dream of world-domination and Ger
man aggression plunge the world
into another holocaust.
The kaiser, however, was not the
