Some of} the crimes of which he stands ac- cused are: “The destruction of private proper- ty, by whole cities. “The wanton murder of non-com- batants on land, “The murder of innocent women and babies at sea. “The killing of civilians and destruc- tion of property by air raids on non- defended cities. “The murder of Edith Cavell and Captain Fryatt. “The sinking of the Lusitania. The flagrant violations of Ameri- can rights, which forced the United States into the war. “The introduction of poison gases and other uncivilized weapons. “There are many other offenses for which he should be indicted and brought to trial. Holland would give him up ‘readily in such an event; she doesn’t want him, anyway, and would be only too glad to have somebody take him off her hands. “An international tribunal of this character, composed of the best inter- national and criminal lawyers of the world, could be depended on to mete out just punishment to the man who. brought four years and a half of hor- ror on the world.” Will onscience Punish Wilhelm? Another new possibility was sug- gested to me by a professor of psy- chology. His contention is that Wil- helm the Damned’s conscience will provide far more just punishment for him than any fate that can be forced on him by extreme measures. His plan is to bring the ex-kaiser before a court which would be in con- tinuous session for a year or more. Bach day during his period “Count” Hohenzollern would be placed on the stand, to be cross-examined on his crimes. . He would be bing cae MOTHER'S FRIEND) coe largs num: Ordered by the pro- i which created in- Douglas Fairbanks in an titled, “Say Young Fellow,” at exceptionally clever story, en- the Bismarck Theatre. ~ ber of counts, and each indictment would go thoroughly inte the history of some one of his crimes. Thus, all His heinous offenses would parade themselves constantly before his men- tal vision. He would be permitted to think of nothing else.

The clas- shification of registrants from 19 to 36 inclusive already had been ordered, and Provost Marshal Crowder now in- cludes ‘inthis group registrants of 18. “The work of classification will be done by local boards, which in each county will be expected to remain on the job and to work just as assiduous- | ly as though the great war were stil] on until every registrant shall have ‘been properly classified. Uncle Sam will then have at his disposal in the state of North Dakota a complete cen- sus of available manpower between the ages of 18 and 36, classified and grouped as to eligibility for military service.

Remarkably lit- tle complaint from any source has been registered against the ‘district board. Its rulings have seldom been contested. There has ‘been the usual small percentage of appeals to the president, but in no instance has the district ‘board been reversed. Gen: erally the sentiment seems to be in North Dakota that the district board throughout its exacting deliberations used good sense, justice and sound judgment. sf The members of this board, now honorably retired, are L.

The bellef here is that they are members of the minor- ity. Now that autocracy’s power is gone, the independent socialists will increase in numbers and. will organize. soviets of their own, Then will come a clash between the two socialist groups which will parallel in almost every particular the fight between the social democrats and the Bolsheviki in Russia, According to present indications the new ruler of Germany will be selected from one of these men: Majority Socialists:, Scheidemann, Ebert, Suedekum. Indgpendent Socialists: | Harden, Liebknecht, Haase, Ledebour. Out of the whole group the man who stands head and shoulders above them all is Maximilian Harden, the fearless editor who persistently criticised and harrassed Hohenzolern during the four years of°war. But it is_a, question whether he will be able to gather suf- ficent support to force his election.
