THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH, Friday, May 2nd, 1919,
HOW ALLIES COULD PUNISH
THE KAISER
We have it on -the authority of Cun-
liffe Owen, the well knOwn American
publicia, that ifothe Kaiser escapes
punishment for his crimes he will owe
it chiefly to President Wilson, Mr.
Owen appears to have a better de-
veloped faculty than most of us for
picking the grain of truth from the
bushel of chaff that comes from
Part.s°, in the guise of news, aiifd he
-says definitely that the 'punish ent
of the Kaiper was referred.. by" the
Peace Cenfierence, to a Special com-
misaion which examined the evi-
dence and the la** and made two ren
ports: The majority report, led by
the BritiSh and French, declared
that the. Kaiser Ought to be brought
to trial byl an international jury and'
punished if found guilty. On the
other hand, the minority .. report
presented by the Japanese and Am-
erican representatives, was against
action. It was to be expected that
the Japanese would take this
ground, since they regard their
Mikado as something akin to a
deity, and have a special ,reverence
for all crowned heads. The surpris-
ing thing was to find the Americans
defending the Kaiser. They did not
of course, try to justify his actions
o' to argue that he had not com-
mitted frightful crimes, but they
contended that he had certain legal
rights which exenipted him from trial
by any foreign jury.
• It is rather difficult to find a pre-
cedent for the case of the Kaiser, for
while to execute crowned heads.
is -
no new thing, the English being
racially quite as willing to, execute a
king as anyone el.se, the invariable
practice has been for kings to be tried.
and executed, if need be, by
their own subjects. There could be
no legal question of Prussia's right
to try the Kaiser, although the con-
stitution by the German Empire, as
framed by Bistharck, while specifi-
cally forbidding the Emperor to do
certain things, failed to impose, a
penalty for violatins. However, the
,King of Prussia is not above the law,
and Mr. Owen remarks that on one
occasion Frederick the Great ....was
successfully sued in the civil courts
of Berlin by a bold miller of Pots-
dam. Granting. the right of Prussia
to try the Kaiser, the question arises,
would Holland surrender him?
There is the still more dubious re-
flection that a Prussian jury would
not. do much harm to the leading
Prussian. • -
England put. to death two of her
sovereigns, Ildward. II. was tried by
a committee of the Estates and
forced to abdicate in favor of his
son, Edward and afterwards
was put ,. to. death, in most horrible
fashion. Charles I. was brought bee
fore Parliament on -charges of high
treason for, having resisted the
legislative .''will of the people and
plunging the nation into civil war.
After a long trial he was found
guilty and. was executed. Queen
Caroline -wa.s tried by the House of
Lords on charges cf infidelity
brought by her husband, George IV.,
but she was defended with great
skill by Lord Brougham and Lord
Denman., and this, added to the in-
ter -se unpopularity of the. King, led
the Lords to throw the case out of
court. Louis, XVI , of France,- and
Marie Antoinette were trie,1 separ-
ately for haying conspire -1 with for-
eign powers to invade France, and .
though the charge was not proved in
either case, they were sentenced to
death and were cidly executed. Queen
Matilda, of Denmark, sister of
George III,, of , England, was tried
and -sentenced to life imprisonment
for treason against the nation. In
all these cases the kings and queens
were tried by their own usbjects.
The nearest precedent to the case
of the ex -Kaiser is, that of • Napoleon
Bonaparte. He was tried by an
international tribual, and was
given sentence that: arounted to
life imprisonment. -Had the tri-
bunal decided to excute him no-
body would have questioned its
right to do so. It seems that the.
Peace Conference has it in its power
to bring the Kaiser legally to the;
status of Napoleon that is
necessary is that William Hohen-
zollern be proclaimed an outlaw
That Will deprive him of all legal
rights. That is what was done te
Napoleon, He was proclaimed an
outlaw by the much -maligned Con-
gress of Vienna which was in Ses-
sion when he returned from Elba.
When Napoleon abdicated in 1814.
the 'allied powers permitted him to
retain all his civil rights. He
was allowed to use his Imperial title
and was accorded the sovereignty
of Elba, - was assured a handsome
annuity from_ the French Treasury,
and all that was required of hi'm
was his pledge that he would not
leave the island or take any step to
bring about war. When he violated
that pledge he was proclaimed an.
outlaw. •
It's a tough thing to be proclaim-
ed an outlaw. It Means that a ina.n
has no rights under the law. If
Napoleon had been assassinated the
assassin could not even have been
brought to trial. .This is -why after
the surrender at Waterloo he was
denied any of the courtesies that
are usual in similar circumstances.
That is why he couldnot even claim
the rights of a captive officea He
had broken his parole. He was a
convict, a felon, guilty of the un-
pardonable offence- in the eyes of
military and naval men from time
immemorial.. Now the. Kaiser has
-al s o broken hispledges. had
pledged his word to protect the
neutrality of Belgium, to mention
but one' -instance... Why could he
not be proclainied an outlaw? Once.
regarded as an outlaw he would.
have no claims whatever in any law
court m any land. His assassins
could not be punished. He could
be surrendered to the' Allies and
disposed of as they wished. Should
this procedure be recommended az
the Peace Conference it is difficult
to imagine President Wilson or even
the Japnese representatives object-
ing to it.
A -meeting of farmers of the
northern part of the riding of South
Huron was held at Clinton last week
to discuss the question of placing

HERE is a best time to sow
each class of farm crops to
secure the highest returnA.
It is difficult, however, to
know which are the most favorable
dates for the best returns of the dif-
ferent crops in all seasons. The re-
sults of experiments conducted over
a series of years form a good gen-
eral guide. Some crops give best re-
sults from later seedings. Seasons
vary so much that in some years the
grains are practically all sown by the
dates at which it is only possible to
start sowing in other years. it is of
the utmost importance, however, to
start cultivating the land as early as
it is dry enough to work to good ad-
vantage. The first cultivations should
take place for those crops which
should' be -first soWR. In this connec-
tion it is interesting to study the re-
sults of an experiment which was
conducted in each of five years -at
the Ontario Agricultural College.
Spring wheat, barley, oats and peas
were sown on each of six dates. One
week was allowed between each two
dates. The experiment was conduct-
ed in duplicate by sowing with the
grain drill and broadcast by hand in
each instance. The following table
gives the average results for the ten
tests in the five-year period:
Bushels of Grain Per Acre.

Seedlings. Wheat. ley. Oats. Peas.

6th 8.4 27.6 45.2 21.5
6th 6.7 18.4 37.0 1944
It Will be seen that the spring
wheat gives decidedly the best re-
turns from the first date of seeding.
There is not mu^h difference between
the first two seedings of barley and
oats, but there is a slight advantage
from the first date in the ease of bar-
ley and from the second date In the
ease of oats. The peas, however,
gave the highest returns from the
second and third dates, and even the
fourth gave a higher average yield
than the first date. After the first
week was past there was an average
decrease per acre for each day's de-
lay as the season advanced of 27
pounds of spring wheat, 47 pounds of
barley, 48 pounds of oats, and 20
pounds of peas.

The P,ornance
of Rubber
':,::e.:eXered.slefeneSteneetece't.ede:e:e.1444.440,4
IT will be news to almost every
person not connected with. the
rubber trade that in the present
Year 83 per cent. of the entire
rubber production will come from
.--
rubber 'plantations. For many years
it has been well known that the enor-
mous growth in the demand for rub-
ber has led to the -cultivation of rub-
ber producing plants in order to sup-
plement the limited supply that
comes from the wild forests, Just to
what extent these experiments has
gone and with what success they had
met were matters of which the gen-
eral public had meagre knowledge.
The knowledge has not been exactly
inaccessible, but it has not been often
set before the public in a readable
way.
In an article on the rubber trade's
phenomenal growth, prepared by the
etatistical department of the National
Bank of Commerce of New York, we
are told that up to 1873 the world's
total supply of rubber came from the
"wild.", In that year seeds from the
B
native 'razilian trees were success-
fully planted in experimental gardens
at Kew, England. Ceylon, the Fed-
erated Malay States, the Dutch West
Indies, Borneo and the Pacific islands
are the centre of the plantation rub-
ber industry, although there are
some such, plantations in India.
Singapore, Penang, Batavia and
Colombo are the chief rubber, ports
of the world. Brazil, which as lately
as 111 supplied us with two-fifths
of our rubber, now supplies us with
one -ninth. This shift is due 'largely
to the change from wildto cultivated;
sources of supply.
We are informed by this Bank of.
Commerce article that over 400
nrears ago Columbus found American
Indians wearing waterproof shoes of
rubber. Here we have the earliest
form of those modern pedal orna-
ments that are variously known as
gumshoes, overshoes and rubbers.
Though the waterproof quality of
ru.bber was known to the Indians
hundreds of years ago, yet that re-
markable material did not -become an
article of commercial importance un-
til less than 60 years ago. Since then
the growth in its use has been phe-
nomenal. To -day. American export of
rubber footwear totals 2,800,000
pairs a year, worth nearly $6,000,-
000, while the world's annual con-
sumption of the raw product has
mounted to 290,000 tons.
British capital controls about 90
per cent. of the plantationa,,and most
of the remainder of the capital in-
vested in the industry is Dutch. But
the U. S. is now going in. Prospects
of developing rubber growing in the
Philippine Islands is already attract-
ing the attention of experts and capi-
tal. Climate and soil are reported to
be admirably adapted, and the labor
supply abundant, for the develop-
ment of plantations there. More than
50,000 pounds of the best rubber
were produced on the Island of Basi-
lan in 1917. There are thousands of
:trees on that islad and on the Island
of Mindanao that have not yet come
into bearing. A most promising start
has been made. From the bank eir-
'cular which contains the facts above
related we take this interesting sum-
mary of the history of rubber:
Columbus and the Spanish and
Portuguese missionaries who follow-
ed him, found the American Indians
using crude rubber for balls, for
ornaments and for certain articles of
clothing;among them shoes which
were proof against the wet. Yet not
until . 1862 was rubber deemed of
sufficient moment to be reported in
American import statistics.
To Europeans rubber had been
known as a curiosity for 200 years
before any serious scientific interest
w taken in it or effort made to
utilize it in an industrial way. The
French were pioneers in this virgin
field. In the first- half of the eigh-
teeinth century, the French natural-
ist, La Condaraine, discovered the
native gum in the Cordilleras of the
Andes. The natives called it
eho." Prim this came the French
word for rubber - eaoutochouc,
*which is practically the universal
name for the material outside Rng-
iish-speaking countries. French
scientists became interested, and
soon the study of rubber was also
taken up in England and the United
States.
Joseph Priestly, the English chem-
ist, discovered that rubber would
erase pencil marks, and so came its
English name, derived from this pro-
perty. Many names are interwoven
with the growing story of rubber's
romance: that of Macintosh, who per-
fected a method of waterproofing
fabric in 1825; Charles Goodyear,
Nathaniel Haywood and Thomas
Hancock, who were successful in dis-
covering the secret of vulcanizing.
The use of rubber tires was first sug-
gested by Hancock in a book pub-
lished in 1856, but the pneumatic
tire was not patented by Dunlop un-
til 1888. So, from these compara-
tively recent discoveries have multi-
plied the various uses 'which rubber
has come to fill.
Both domestic and export demand
for rubber goods has increased enor-
mously since the war began, but it is
believed that American manuac-
turers have secured so substantial a
footing in the world's rubber trade
that they will be able to hold their
own after the war demand has ceas-
ed. There have been some doubts as
to the ability of the world to con-
sume the increased supplies of rub-
ber, now that the end of the war
has stopped the military demand for
it. On -the whole, however, it is be-
lieved that except for temporary de-
pressions there will be a continuous
demand for all the rubber produced.
New uses for it are constantly being
found.
