BECHTOL European Manager Newspaper Enterprise Association. 4 PARIS, France, July 8.—It is the opinion of men of diplomatic and other governmental experience that Great Britain is not anxious to put Bill Hohenzollern on trial for! his life, but that the British government recognizes the fact that the former kaiser might make all kinds of trouble} if permitted to go back to Germany and assume the role) of defender of the German people in a conspiracy to evade) the term obligations. | British and French believe Wilhelm could gain the sup- port of Germans if he would assume the leadership of a! movement of protest against complying with the terms of, . That in such a conspiracy Wilhelm would again} seca the popular idol in Germany. That is why they are) so insistent upon his being held in Holland. | American Commission i Opposed Kaiser Trial « When Andrew Bonar Law, government spokesman, | i i the proposed trial of the ex-kaiser in the House| of Monday, a member of the house asked: “Is the spokesman of the government aware that nobody particularly wants the ex-kaiser brought here?” Members of the house cheered when the question was put. a There is every evidence that the so-called “king trust” does not want the ex-kaiser tried, and the monarchial parties of all European countries are opposed to the trial. European statesmen show no interest whatever in re- questing Holland to turn him over, in the possible date) of the trial, or in what becomes of him. _ : They are content to let him sink into ignominy. Which is significant, in view of the fact that it was the European statesmen who insisted on including in the treaty machinery for a trial. The American commission always opposed a trial. They were for a scathing public denunciation to pass down in # history. Prosecution, they held, might be twisted into persecution of an individual, and arouse sympathy for Wilhelm. g Nobody over here shows any disposition to ask for him, and it is a safe bet that the present American adminis-} started by the son's auditorium. 1 We 7 { iH | | ALLIES DEMAND 4+4OLLAND MUST GUARD Bilt HOHENZOLLERN FROM ESCAPING \ } } ih ! | A campaign to bring a part of the 300,000,000 pounds of surplus army food stores to Seattle to re duce the cost of living will be Homekeepers’ league meeting Thursday after- noon, at 2:30, in Frederick & Nel- The city council will be urged by tration at least will make no request of Holland to turn|the league to take up the offer of |the war department him over.
