Viscount llrvce of Dechmont, former

decried the spirit of hate against the
Ciermaiis and the talk of a lasting
trade war. In conclusion he advo-
vatod a league lo restrain aggression
and compel arbitration.
"If there is to be a recurrence of
wars, becoming more terrible with the
uncea-ing- advance of science," he
said, "we may well despair of the fu
ture.'' Lord Rryce recalled that Rremier
Asquith, Lord (irey and Mr. Balfour

''To establish any machinery for

Payee, ''would be impossible without

"l're.-idenl Wilson and Charles K.
Hughes the heads of the two great
American parties, have promised the

"Let us avoid, let us repress the

justly indignant at the war the enemy

Demetrios flounaris headed a

fully expecting to do. Tbo article Is

BY A FAMOl'S AMKHK'AN J'ltO
FKSSOR. NFAY YOltK. Oct. 3. Are the al
lies preparing St. Helena for the
kaiser of Germany in tbe event they
win tile war. as they certainly believe
they are going to do?
Tliis Is no fantastic question, asked
I for the sake of seusai ionuUsm, and
based merely on wartime rumors. In
stead it is an outgrowth of the major
topic of certain grim deliberations
now taking place in the on t euro cap
itals of ICuropo.
1 know it is the major topic, the
"prime intention" of the big men of
the allies, for the sole and simple
reason that I beard them discussing
it myself!
And the question In high circles
of London and France now Is not so
much whether or not the allies can
wreak vengeance on the kaiser in
person. lr is simply what thlH pun
ishment shall lie!
You do not have !o take my word
alone on this; ask any man, with ac
cess to the first Kuroepan circles
any such man who has traveled re
coil) ly In Kngland and Prance, and he
will tell you the same: That a tremen
dons personal drama that will startle
the eyes of the world Is certainly go
ing to accompany the denouement of
the war!
l-'ale of Fiiipcror
Of this I am positive that in those
final negotiations when the fate of
(nations, the happiness of whole peo
j pic are at stake, so fiery a drama
will involve, in some measure, at
I least, the house of Hohenzollern, that
It will obscure in (tie eyes of tint
world all those ot her questions
questions of frontiers, of indemnities
and the like. For granting that the
allies will have any debatable rights
at the war's end, the discussion of
tlm fate of Kmporor William like that
of Achilles, Caesar, and Napoleon, is
bound to go down Into history as one
fCoutinued on page two.)
