HUNS WILL FACE TRIAL Ex -Kaiser to Go From Holland to London, Yoleinger Sons of Williams Hohenzollern Ofiter to Take the Place of Their Father to Save flim From Degradation -- Other Murderers Are Also to Answer iFer Their Crimes. LONDON, 3uly 7,—It is stated on the highest authority that the inter- national tribunal created to try the ex.dtaiser will be absolutely unfet- tered and that it will have power to impose any penalty it may think the crimes of the accused demand, even the death penalty, if it considers such a fate warranted by the evidence brought before it. There is no truth in the story that the American delegates consented to the trial of the ex -Raiser only on the understanding that the death penalty was not infficted. So far the names of the five judges to be chosen from England, the U. S.'France, Italy, and Japan have not been settled upon, but the probability is that each country will send the head of the Justice 'Depart- ment; for example, the British Lord Chief Justice, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and the President of the Court of Cassation in France. Communications have been pass- ing for some days between the allied aud associated powers and Holland regarding the extradition of the ex -Kaiser. The request for his extraditit,n is being made by all the powers banded together against Germany during the war. The Dutch Government, while protesting as a sovereign power against the Allied violation of the right of asylum, does not feel able to resist such a request, and there seems to be no doubt that the Imperial culprit will be handed over to the British authorities, Hol- lered at the same time making it clear that she is yielding only to superior force. With regard to the trial of other persons charged with offenses against humanity during the war, they are to be handed over at once to the countries in which the alleged crimes were committed, as soon as the treaties are ratified. As Germany has- announced that this would be done forthwith, it is expected that the murderers of Capt. Fryatt and Edith Cavell will be in London be- fore many days are over. .The per- petrators of Uhimat outrages will also be with them and the trials will take place at once. It is possible that, as most of the outrages were committed by com- manding officers in the German army or navy, their trials will take place before properly constituted naval and military courts-martial. The prison- ers will be allowed to have their own counsel and call any -witness they desire. The place ethat springs to the mind as the theatre of the trial is almost out of the question. West- minster Hall is the noblest hall in England and has witnessed many state trials, notably those of Charles I., the seven Bishops, and Warren Hastings; but at the moment it is undergoing the costly process of restoration. Another place considered is the banqueting hall in White Hall through which Charles I. passed on his way to the scaffold. Its chief ob- jection would he the lack of accom- modation. No one favors the Old Bailey crim- inal court of London, because of its Sordid associations. So the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords, Mid- dle Temple Hall, or Lincoln's Inn are suggested instead. The trial, it is said, will be con- ducted- in English and the ex - Kaiser will be entitled to have Ger- man and, if he wishes it, English counsel. Sir Gordon Hewart, At- torney -General of Englared, is expect- ed to lead for the prosecution. Prince Eitel Frederick of Prussia, seamed son of the former German Emperor, ha sent the following tele- kiedfn to tang George' _ 1‘9.hjk44fsty tie tIng of Great Brifititt and Ireland: 'In fulfillment l31- the natueal duty of son and olla- tie I, 'with my four younger brothers; place myself at your Majesty's die -- pose' in place of my Imperial father in the event of his extradition, in order by our sacrifice to spare him such degradation. "'In the name of Princes Adal- bert, August William, Oscar and. Joachim. (Signed) "'Eitel Frederick." Field Marshal von Hindenburg, former chief of the German staff, de- clares that he is responsible for the acts of German main headquarters since August 29, 1916, and also the proclamations of former Emperor William coneerning the waging of warfare. He asks President Ebert of Germany to inform the Allies to this effect. Conditions Normal In Peru. LIMA, Peru, July 7. — Normal conditions apparently have beert restored here after Friday morning's revolution, which upset the Govern- ment of President Jose Pardo and set up a provisional Government headed by President-elect Augusto B. Leguia. No troops are visible. Business and social activities are pro- eeeding as usual. Quiet prevails also in the provinces. Lad Drowned In the Speed. GUELPH, July 7. — George Win- grove, fifteen years of age, was the victim of a drowning accident in the Speed river at a late hour Friday night. In company with another boy, he went in bathing in the Mill Race at Armstrong's Mills, and got out be- yoed his depth. He was linable to swtm, and the other boy was of no assistance to him. R. L, Murray, the U. S. National eharapien, and Ichiya Itumagae, the noted Japanese player, will attend the Canadian National championships here next week, DEADLOCK IN OTTAWA. Senate uml Commons Fail to Agra* Regarding Prohibition. OTTAWA, July 7.—The result of the conference between representa- tives of the Senate and the House of Commons upon the bill to validate for a yew from the proclamation of peace the war order -in -council pro- hibiting the importation, transporta- tion and manufacture of liqoor was announced in both Houses. The con- ferees failed to reach a compromise - The Senate "managers" wished to legislate to the elect that the order - in council should cease to have- effect on Noeember 11, 1949, one year from the date of the armistice. The Com- mons representatives suggested that the date be March 31st, 1420, and, when that proposition was not ac- cepted, proposed that an amendment be adopted making tbe application of the legislation to any province op- tional with the Provincial Govern- ment. This was not accepted. Sir Thomas White, the referee, moved in the Commons that the House remain firm in refusing to concur in the amendment made in the bill by the Senate. The bill thus falls to the ground, and the order -in -council re- mains operative. The opinion has been expressed that the order can have no validity after the expiration of the War Measures Act upon the proclamation of peace. RED FLAG 1N ITALY. Riots Caused By the High Cost of Living. FLORENCE, July 7.—Noise of fir- ing in the outskirts has increased the alarm caused by cost -of -living dis- turbers here. The red flag has been hoisted in many places here and elsewhere in the Romagna district by what are termed local Styriets. These organiz- ations throughout the district, in addition to imposing rules for gath- ering and selling food, are issuing sentences in controversteseunder the authority of the red flag. All available supplies from shops have fallen into -the hands of the crowds. Carabineers fired upon crowds, here Saturday. Disorders are increas- ing and the ransacking of shops is widespread. One entire street was flooded with petroleum, gasoline, wine, beer and olive oil. after inobs had ransacked shops. One person was killed and 20 were injured in the rioting. The only shops respected by the rioters were those bearing the in- scription: "This shop is at the disposal of the chamber of labor." The chamber of labor apparently has become the only authority to which the people pay any attention. REVOLUTION IN PERU. Ruler Was Deposed and Placed In Prison. LIMA, Peru, July 7.—Augusto B. Leguia on Friday assumed office as Provisional President of Peru, and took up his residence in the Govern- ment palace as a result of. the suc- cessful overthrow earlier in the day of President Pardo, Senor Pardo, all his Ministers and a number of high officers of the army and navy are in prison, Pardo being detained in the penitentiary here. Virtually no fighting and no casual- ties marked the overthrow of the Pardo Government. Senor Leguia is supported by virtually all of the army and naval forces in Lima and public opinion here apparently is behind him. Sunday night Senor Leguia declar- ed he turned off a plot to arrest hire and send him into exile, and as a last resort, he gave orders to the army chiefs favorable to him to go ahead with their plans to overthrow the Pardo Government. Angered by Rejection. LONDON, July 7.—An extraordin- ary case affecting Canadian immigra- tion laws opened in the English courts on Friday in the claim by Leonard Raven Carrington, ex -civil servant, against the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co., for datnages for false imprisbnment and negligence. The •plaintiff went en bpard, the ta.uren- tic, from tiverpooi. to -MOntreal, and alleges that at Quebec he was taken ashore and detained till removed to the hospital. After a few days he was sent back to Liverpool. The defendants contended that what was done was done under the Canadian immigration laws, and un- der a reciprocal arrangement be- tween Canada and the United States. It appeared in the bearing that the plaintiff was removed because tuber- culosis was suspected, but he was re- jected on grounds of physical defec- tiveness, though, it waseontended, the rejection was not from the Unit- ed States, a point which presented a difficulty to the Chief Justice, and has not yet been cleared up.. The ,North Is Now Safe., COBALT, July 7.-- The north is safe now from the serious bush fires which raged for the past week or so, practically throughout the whole northern area of Ontario and Quebec. The fires were. a couple of weeks' ahead of time also, according to the old timers, who state that they do not usually become troublesome until along in the second and third week in July. Unless there is another serious hot spell of three weeks' or a month's duration, there is little prospect of further trouble with fires this year. The fortunate part of it is that no life bas been reported lost. The number of homes lost was -small compared with the area atffected. It is believed that the large majority of women and °Wickert in the differ- ent areas were shipped out to place of safety. This was true at Timmins, Porcupine, Iroquois Palls and Bos- ton Creek, Many Halleybary people, adults included, spent a couple of nights at North Bay to escape the danger,.
