arbitrator" Jefferson Davis, had a
single admirable trait. So their
wrath for all "rebels" was concen-
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 outcry for revenge having
died down, no further effort was
made to prosecute him.

only German leader whom the vic
torious Allies had marked for pun
ishment. Another article in the Ver-
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 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
Browning chief., 1943-07-23

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 a foregone conclusion. The
Germans stalled as long as possible
on the matter and it was not until
three years after the war ended that
court in Leipzig went through the
motions of staging a 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 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 hurling 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
havens is small indeed-Sweden,
Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and
Turkey-and it is doubtful if any of
these would welcome the arch-crim-
inal of all history. The present Fas-

Perhaps, like Napoleon, he would
exclaim II prefer DEATH" That was
what the French dictator said when
told that the British government was
sending him to the barren rock OF
St. Helena. After his defeat at Wa
terloo, he surrendered to the captain
of the British man-o' war, Bellero-
phon, and threw himself upon the
mercy of the prince regent, who lat
er became King George w. Napo-
leon believed that he would be al
lowed to settle down in some COM
Portable little place in England and
great was his dismay and indigna-
tion when he learned that his cap

A Dictator in Exile.
1t was then that he declared his
preference for death and it is said
that Lord Liverpool, the British
prime minister, was quite willing
to accommodate him, just as mil
lions today would be glad to accom-
modate Adolf Schickelgruber if he
expressed preference for death to
exile or imprisonment. However,
delegates from Great Britain, Rus
sia, Austria and Prussia who formed
the Convention of Paris" in 1915 to
pass upon Napoleon's war guilt over
ruled the wish of the British prime
minister and the exile to St. Helena
was the result. On that cheerless
little island in the South Atlantic, he
spent the next six years as a mill
tary prisoner with the rank of Brit
ish general "out of employment"
Under instructions from the British
government, he was treated as Gen.
Napoleon Bonaparte, not as the en-
peror of France-a fact that was
particularly calling to the ego of a
man who had dreamed of world
conquest.
One of the horrors of civil war is
the bitterness of feeling between
citizens of the same country which
frequently transcends the bitterness
the people of one nation feel toward
foreigners" with whom they are at
war. During the Revolution many
Patriots had a greater hatred for
their former friends and neighbors,
who were Loyalists, or Tories, than
they had for the British soldiers or
the Hessian mercenaries. Similarly
four years of war which began in
1861 engendered animosities that
were to linger for generations.
