PARIS, May 18. (Special Cable.)
Franco is loud in praise of the Amer
ican aviators and American organiza
tion for its "unimaginable victory" in
crossing the Atlantic.
France regrets only one thing that
the authorities allowed French pilots
to watch the American preparations
for flight withput so much as attempt
ing to compete. Many critics point out
that machines and pilots are not lack
ing in France, and that the country's
experience in aviation is almost un
equaled. Peace-Makers Foreotten.
Comments on the proceedings of the
peace conference almost ceased when
it became known that American flyers
were on their way across the Atlantic.
Parisians snatched the evening editions
of the newspapers with feverish haste
last , night when reports appeared of
the progress of the American machines,
and this morning all Paris broke uot
in praise of these supermen. The
French press declared the day the
greatest in the history of aviation and
was otherwise most eulogistic in com
ment. "Let us hail this remarkable feat
with enthusiasm," Le Petit Journal
said. "This triumph of aviation is the
greatest ever recorded."
L'Humanite said: "A sensational
achievement has been accomplished."
"This exploit," said L'Avenir, "opens
tip the horizon which the most opti
mistic have assigned to aerial locomo
tion. One must admire the courage
and audacity of the aviators who un
dertook the flight."
"The remarkable result," said Le
Matin, "is duo to the preparation and
the organization afforded by the Amer
ican navy. He who aims at a goal
seeks the means. Having taken to
heart the success of the flight, the
Americans prepared themselves in a
xpirit and manner of which they alone
are capable."
French Flyer Gives Praise.
Louis Bleriot, one of the pioneers of
aviation, who was the first to make an
oversea flight when he crossed the
English channel, said:
"The magnificent performance just
accomplished evokes the admiration of
the entire world for the gallant men
who undertook it."
Le Petit Parisien said: "The whole
world will rejoice in the success of the
American fliers. Today, above the
Atlantic, the old world and the new
world are joined. Bravo to America,
who knew how to gain success."
KAISER UNWORTHY TRIAL
("Continued From First Page.)
pected the entry of the victorious
army.
Different Scene Staged.
William, assuredly long before had
the stage management planned for this
entry, which was to be something
colossal and unprecedented.
Now the pillars of the Brandenburg
Rate- were covered with hideous pla
cards advertising socialist meetings or
illustrating alleged bolshevist atroci
ties, while to the left, in the French
embassy. Marshal Foch's representative
Kives orders, and to the right in the
Adlon the American and British head
quarters. At the war's end the entry
of the emperor and king has been
made at Amerongen!
The spoiled, weak-willed kaiser is
not, nor was, insane. He may seem
both at a distance, but how does he
look at close range? The Pariser Platz
before the Brandenburg gate is the best
viewpoint for a retrospect upon his
life. A cripple, his left arm almost
lifeless and quite unusable, he cannot
dress or undress alone. He must em
ploy an instrument combining a knife
and fork to eat. Further, from his
youth -a bad ear ailment has troubled
him. This misfortune he conceals as
if it .were a disgrace. In his opinion
a prince, king or kaiser must show no
weakness. It would shake the faith
in the tiivine right of rulership.
Great Masquerade Ended.
What strength of will this prince has
"he uses up in concealing his physical
detects. He cannot mount a. horse
without help, and plays as a master
of horsemanship. He can hardly hold
a rifle must rest it on a fork which
a lackey deftly places before him yet
the court hunting register shows unheard-of
bags of game, the victims of
his gun. The best rider, hunter, tennis,
golf, football player all' "theater" all
for show. This habit of untruthful
ness necessarily resulted in the inabil
ity to live in simple truthfulness. He
who pretends a character which nature
tlenied him before a court or a nation
or the earth bAomes either a comedian
or a tragedian. Untruthfulness, the-
Etricality, insolent greed for sensuous
xperiences are the only misfortunes
that could be harvested from such seed
Perhaps the result would not have
been so terrible had the Kaiser Fried
rich lived and bridled his son to mod
esty. His death left a dangerous gap
through which soon blew an evil
wind a hasty breath of eagerness for
show, pomp, effect, applause. While
his father was on his deathbed the
Crown Prince William lets himself be
acclaimed on the streets as the leader
t troops, and against all the traditions
et the Hohenzollern house advertises
himself, his speeches padded thick
with phrases even about his children.
This advertising drove me to write
my first article, and into the career
of a publicist. The article, entitled
"The Heir of Byzantium," sharply at
tacked William, whom I later was
supposed to have so grievously "in
sulted" that I was twice imprisoned
in a Vistula fortress six months each
time.
Two Character Contrasted.
Today, in Germany's darkest
spring, I am comforted over my many
all too human mistakes by the fact
that I never mistook the two men
whose names for atl eternity will hor
rify and shine at the beginning and at
the end of the world war, the shin
ine, ordering, saber-rattling war lord
and the simple peace bringer in a
black professional coat; that despite
all abuse and threats, I was always
against William, always for Wilson.
The kaiser not only wants to be
called a world wonder, but really to
be one. He cheapens the hoary fic
tions of monarchy by their dally use
on every insignificant piece of paper.
He calls himself imperator. and rex,
and feels himself as such in every
hour too as poet, painter, sculptor,
composer. strategist, soldier, archi
tect, pedagogue, historian, ship con
structor, admiral, sailor, orator, horse
man, hunter, theatrical manager,
statesman, social welfare politician,
theologian, Assyriologist and Sanskrit
discoverer. William is all in all far
ahead of the most expert in every
field; carries all wisdom, science and
art locked in his breast, and always
wears the right costume for the part
and moment. If he had been insane,
the clinical picture must have
changed, but in the 30 years he is
unchanged; he has remained the same.
By no means stupid, of quick per
ception, and with an assorted heap
of knowledge and half-knowledge,
and as wise as vain, seeking after
effect, and with an insatiable appe
tite for the parade that can be about
him, he tolerates only blind admirers,
a swarm of sweetishly sly darlings.
Wealth Impresses Him.
In the conversations and letters of
these half men from morn till night
incense steams from their mouths for
him as once for deity, but he makes
the best of every real power which
does not soften under his pressure.
Wealth impresses him; many an
American Croesus has received bags of
compliments from him.
With the power of the people, too,
this anxioue compromiser would get
along, but this people never shows a
serious will to use its power. The na
tion's wealth increases fabulously,
therefore one gives his majesty free
reign and lets itself be infected by
William's worst qualities, his arro
gance, boastfulness, ostentatious piety
without Christian humility, hio yearn
ing for effect, theatrically, his need of
applause, until the thorough, industri
ous, serious, simple and all too patient
German people resemble from a dis
tance a horde of plunderers, noisy
brutal disturbers of business and grim
acing movie actors; until the fragrance
of a nation of poets and thinkers
Kant, Goethe, Bach and Mozart haa
vanished and given way to the vapors
of a barbarism of science and tech
nology, and the world condemns the
people along with the kaiser.
Eternal Splendor His Aim.
William's policy was driven on by
double desire to be throned in eternal
splendor, without other gods inside
him, and to avoid all trouble, all inter
ruption of comfortable enjoyment of
life. The motto of the court and of
the highest officers of the empire was
his majesty needs sun."
His majesty wanted to hear nothing
unpleasant and' punished every bringer
of bad tidings. He wanjed to be
amused, homaged, distract, fed on
flattery, show himself off. make
speeches apd wear new uniforms. Ger
many never saw him for an hour in
civilian clothes. He wanted to out
shine other monarchs in their own
capitals, wanted to indulge in tri
umphal entries, in the unveilings of
monuments, be seen at land and water
sport meetings, at excavations of an
tiques carefully buried beforehand for
him. He wanted his birthday every
day, and last, but not least, read his
name in the paper every morning and
evening.
Undeniably, he believed he was serv
ing his country, with whose interests
his own were inseparably bound, and
that he did not bring about the war
with a wakeful consciousness. But
he had grown old. His charm, which
he had always overrated, lost its ef
fectiveness. He could not keep up the
role of the young. Impulsive kaiser,
nor make the transition to the old
parts. And without a part he could
not get along.
How the war, whose hardships and
dangers he dreaded, was made appe
tizing for him is another chapter. Also
how he raged and trembled through the
war between illusions of triumph and
fear of the near abyss.' The kaiser is
not the instigator of war, but from the
fear to secure himself and his crown
against danger, he did invent the fatal
lie about the "war was forced upon the
German people by the London surprise
attack after a long conspiracy," an un
forgivable lie which has driven even
honest men and gentle women to the
belief .that in self-preservation against
such treachery everything was permis
sible, no law or custom binding, the
worst atrocity hardly atrocious enough.
This lie was William's last trickery,
his desertion to Holland his last stu
pidity. He had never learned a sense
of duty or awe. Whence should real
ization have come to him that treaties
are to be respected as spiritual and ar
tistic monuments to be carefully pre
served? The man who ordered the
break into Belgium, the sinking of the
Lusitania. the firing on the cathedral
of Rheims, was the same who hauled
Bismarck" out of bed and scolded him
like a truant schoolboy and chased him
out of the service like a thieving lackey.
Should one place him before a court
and punish him, make a martyr of him?
He has not the stature for a St. Helena.
The return from Elba was only possi
ble because the allies of 1814 took such
a harsh attitude against the emperor's
person, from whom people angrily
turned away, after Waterloo. Is not an
idol no longer surrounded by servants

punished? William's shining role is
played out, if one suffers him as a rich
man-with all his costumes, orders and
actors and laurels to condemn himself
to self-chosen exile.
After the Verdun failure, when his
entourage wanted to persuade him to
appoint Ludendorff as generalissimo
under the firm name of Hindenburg, the
kaiser exclaimed: "I can't have Hinden
burg roared at me when I make my
entry through Brandenburg gate."
On the Brandenburg gate now plac
ards invite to meetings of independent
socialists. His majesty keeps court at
Amerongen, and the kaiser's sailors
only shrug their shoulders when a non
com, of his hireling army says, "Will
iam's going to get it in the neck."
The deserter is scorned. But pity
and national pride would be effective
recruiters for a kaiser tried before an
enemy court.
CONGRESS NOW IN SESSION

tinuously until the presidential conven
tions of 1920. Investigations planned by
the republicans of numerous adminis

opened with a president on foreign
soil overflow crowds in both senate
and house galleries witnessed the birth
of the new congress. Many cabinet
officers and other high officials were
spectators in the house, where cheer
ing and speechmaking lent an informal
tone of popular interest.
When house members were sworn in.
Representative Victor, Berger of Wis
consin, the lone socialist member, who
was convicted of violating the es
pionage law, was prevented from tak
ing the oath upon objection of Rep
resentative Dallinger of Massachusetts,

was ordered by Speaker Gillet to stand
aside and was not allowed to address
the house, which adopted unanimously
a resolution for a committee to inves
tigate his right to membership.

No objection was raiced from the
senate floor to the seating of Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, re

tested by Henry Ford, democrat. For
