By Paal Beett Mr i tpectal Cebl to Tb Journal nd Tha Chicago DUy -Newi. . (Copyright, 1019. by Chic-go JHOf New Co.) Paris, April 18.--Professor , F. Lr iaude aril Professor De La Pradelle, ' both eminent French authorities on in ternational law and both attached to -the peace conference, have1 concluded a caref ul study of the -responsibility of Wilhelm II. Their finding is that ha can properly be accused, of having commit ted three ; categories of - international crimes. .; - - ?. -'- : w? First Causing a premeditated and un just war; . Second Violation of the neutrality of Belgium and Luxemburg. r - Third Violation of the rules estab lished by International custom and The Hague convention.- - - . YIOIATI02rS .POINTED OUT -Under this third category may be mentioned t . : ' ' i . 'i . The use of forbidden weapons. r The poisoning of water and air. - Bad treatment, of prisoners. v Arrest and massacre of hostages. Destruction of towns and ships, and even hospital ships. ,Crimes against the .family ties by the deportation en masse of, peaceful inhabi tants and by the deliberate compromise of the honor of young girls. Submarine torpedoing of ships laden with women" and children. The bombardment by lorig range guns or aviators of undefended towns for the purpose of striking terror into the hearts of Inoffensive people. The professors show clearly that Wil helm II was the supreme power In Ger many. As one proof of this direct responsibility they give the following letter addressed by him to the emperor of Austria in the early days of the war : 'My heart breaks but everything must be put to the fire and sword. . Men, women, children and : old people,. - must be butchered. Neither tree nor house must be left standing. CHOOSES BABBAHOUS' SYSTEM '"With these processes of terror which rfone are sufficient to impress people as degenerate as the French the war will be over in two months, whereas If I should show' a humanitarian spirit it might go on for years. Despite all my repugnance I have, therefore, chosen the former system." " ..,, - Professor Larnaude and Da La ; Pra delle conclude that Wilhelm should . be tried not before a military court or a court of common law but before an ln- 1 ternational tribunal especially created ij; the purpose which would thus solve aa the basis for the " tribunal of the League of Nations. ,.. '.-W' ' Regarding the question Of extradition they. argue that his crimes should not be considered political crimes, but interna tional crimes, y Viewed in this light this phase interests Holland as much as any other nation. It would be sufficient In their opinion to ask Holland in the name of the League of Nations to arrest him and, bring him before the international tribunal.' ; y.;, . ' TRIAL, PIAJT DISPLEASES If Holland persisted In refusing Hol land could and should be excluded from the league.' - ' , - : : : Considerable distress Is felt In French circles here over the report that the coun cil of four has decided ,that the trial of var criminals shall e held .not in an international court but in the courts of the countries -where the. crimes were committed. " This means, that most of , the case will be "tried in the French "and Belgian courts. Many 'people feel that not only is the League of Nations losing a splendid opportunity to attest its moral authority but that the sen tences pronounced may thereby lose mucn ox tneir weight as they will seem to be rather the outcome of individual national vengeance than of International justice. . - To Wtd Michigan Han Astoria.
