Coudert Says Plans for Formal Trial of Wilhelm Should Be Deferred; That Emperor May Suffer Fate Similar to That of Charles ? and Louis XVI "Before we ?start making plans for a. formal trial of the Kaiser," said Fred? eric' K. Coudert, in discussing that suggestion last night, "perhaps it would botimely to wait and seo what i disposition tlie German people will j mako of him. I "They have already secured his abdi- j cation. That, however, does not noces-1 sarily mean that they cannot make plans still more specifically providing for his future. "Offhand, at the moment, I cannot recall any precedent for the trial of an emperor by any foreign power on charges of public crime. I can, on the other hand, remember several instances whero the peoplo of a country have at nn appropriate moment passed unmis? takable judgment upon their ruler. The cases of Challes I of England and Louis XVI of France immediately come to mind. How can we tell that the Ger? man people, if given a few days now, will not pass similar judgment on their ruler? At least, it would seem only fair to give them a chance. May Do More Than Dethrone "For after all, we should remember | that the German Deople have also suf? fered as a result of the Kaiser's sway ' and activities. I am inclined to think that now, in the midst of humiliation and disaster and disintegration, they are themselves coming to understand just wherein and how greatly they have suffered. In the light of that j understanding, if they indeed have it, i it would scarcely seem likely that they I would dethrone the Kaiser and then ! leave him to wonder loose, as it were. At the s#me time, although hardly : going so far as to depreciate a trial ! of Wilhelm before a duly constituted I tribunal of the world, Mr. Coud?rt was 1 inclined to feel that concentration of all charges of guilt upon the person and authority of the Kaiser might de? flect public attention from the larger culpability for which that individual is but the symbol and figurehead. "It may be," s*iid be, "that the peace conclave will decide to constitute some tribunal for the purpose of bringing to trial and justice those who are re? sponsible for this war and all the terror and suffering and havoc it has wrought in its trail. If it did, un ! doubtedly the individual trial of the Kaiser would be an important item in the balancing of the record. But it would come very far from being the only item. Kaiser Not Alone in Guilt "We must not forget that the Kaiser is not the only ono responsible for ' this war. We must not forgot that the Junkers and the landowners, and very probably the financial interests, too, all hud their powerful share in willing it. ! Wo must not forget that the whole German people were solidly behind it j and that the Socialists supported it | and uttered no protest. The whole na | tion was imbued with the doctrine of j forco and of the divinity of the state. I 'The state can do no wrong.' That is i a dogma I have heard seriously | preached by German professors. And I Houston Ghumberlain, in the book that i the Kaiser once characterized as the ? 'greatest book of the age, proclaimed i it as the mission of tho German people : to destroy the other peoples that they , might set up their own empire of j might and powpr. "Everywhere in Germany that waa . the outlook and belief that prevailed, ! that poisoned the whole nation and i sent it forth upon its mad crusade tu 1 achieve the economic and commercial i and cultural conquest of the world , There can be no real safety in the : world, there can be no tolerance of | Germany as a national neighbor, unti j that doctrine is absolutely rooted ou ? of the system of the Gorman state."

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 10,?With re? spect to the Austrian protest to the ; German government against the inva? sion of Northern Tyrol by Bavarian troops, it is explained in Berlin that the crossing of tho frontier was de? signed to keep disorganized and undis? ciplined Austrian troops from German territory and that it will not obstruct the demobilization of tho Austrian forces.

Progress of German Revolution Like Crash of Romanoff Rule There is considerable similarity in the development of the Rus? sian and German revolutions, as is indicated in the folio icing com? parison of the events of the first five days of each upheaval: First Day. November 6, 1918 Abdication of the Kaiser reported ? 1 demanded in public demonstrations in | : Erlanger and Nuremburg. Second Day, November 7, 1918 Virtually all the Gorman fleet re- ? ; ported ir> revolt. A Soldiers' Council said to be in control of the naval ? bases at Kiel, Wilhclmshaven and : | other important points seized by the I revolutionists. The abdication of the Emperor and the rejnnciation of the throne by the ; Crown Prince demanded in an ultima? tum issued by the managing committee ! of the Gci man Socialist Party. Third Day, November 8, 1918 A decree deposing the Wittelsbach ' 1 dynasty in Bavaria reported passed b ; the Bavarian Diet. German wireless : dispatches Btate the Kaiser declined i to abdicate and that Prince Max, the i Imperial Chancellor, bad resigned. ! German revolutionists in full control j ' of Hamburg and Bremen. Fourth Day, November 9. 1918 The Kaiser abdicates. A statement by the Chancellor announces that th<? Tmpcror will remain in office until questions connected with his abdica ; tion and the renouncing of the throne by the Crown Prince have been settled. Fifth Day, November 10, 1918 General upheaval reported in Ger i many. Friedrich Jbert, the Socialist, appointed Chancellor. Leipzig, Stutt ; gart, Cologne and Frankfort, reported i to have joined the revolution. First Day, March 12, 1917 Following a week of minor dis? turbances, in which the populace of Petrograd cries for bread, there is great disorder in the Douma, which reconvenes despite the publication of the imperial proclamation dis? solving it. The revolution is in full swing in Petrograd. By night all the troops in the capital had joined the revolutionists. Second Day, March 13, 1917 The Czar's Cabinet resigns. Pet? rograd is in arms. The city begins to fill with armed sailors from Kronstadt. ' An executive committee, instituted by the Douma, declares it? self a provisional government and attempts to check the populace. Third Day, March 14, 1917 Petrograd is completely in the hands of the executive committee and the garrison of tho capital, which strove to restore order. Mem? bers of the old r?gime arrested. Pro German ministers are reported slain. The Czar is hastening to the capital. Fourth Day. March 13, 1917 Emperor Nicholas abdicates on be? half of himself and the heir appar rent. Grand Duke Alexis, in fa?vor of Grund Duke Michael. Fifth Day, March 16, 1917 Grand Duke Michael renounces the throne, thus ending the Roman ot? dynasty. The government, pend? ing a meeting of the Constituent As? sembly, is vested in the executive committee of the Douma and tho j newly chosen Council of Ministers. Socialists to Fight Belgium to Insist Control by Allies On Indemnity Even Of German Forts If Germany Splits Rose Pastor Stokes Sounds Opposition to Any Policy of Intervention More than -1,000 Socialists celebrated ; the abdication of the Kaiser and the i revolution in Germany yesterday after- ? noon in the Sta%Casino at 107th Street ' and Park Avenue. The keynote of addresses by Rose Pasor Stokes, Judge Jacob P'inken, As? semblyman August Claessens and Ald? erman Algernon Lee was that the peo plo of Germany be allowed to settle their intrnal problems without inter? vention. Asserting that as far as c;he her? self is concerned there was no espion? age law in this country. Mrs. Stokes declared that the United States had "invented an excuse for intervention in Russia, but that there can bo no ex? cuse for restoring Germany to the junkers and the Kaiser." She demanded that all Socialists watch carefully to make sure that the terms of armistice are not the terms of intevention, "We are not permitted to know what the real terms of the armistice are to be," she said. "This little group of the supreme command, including Colonel j House, met behind closed doors. Sup? pose the Allies aro to take over the chief forts and the railroads; the Rus-, sian, Austrian and German people will never yield, and neither will we. "I have been t?>l?l there is a story going around that our President is going to grant political amnesty for prisoners before the next election. You can therefore see why I will prefer to stay in jail if I am sent there. The Unite?! States government promises to be the most reactionary of the capi- I talist governments in tho world. "Yesterday Attorney General Greg-1 ory is reported to have said that the espionage act will not bo suspended ? during an armistice. For me there is no espionago act. Next month my ap- : peal comes up and I may go to prison.H A resolution calling upon "the peo? ple of tho United States to extend a eincere welcome to the new social com? monwealths of Russia and Germany, and to cooperate with them in estab? lishing a universal, lasting and demo? cratic peace, with the fullest self-de? termination for all peoples of all na? tions," was adopted at the meeting . Germ??^?Tgent Sent to The Hague From This London Deduces Huns Expect Peace Con? ference There (Special Cabio to The Tribune) (Osprrtght. 1913. by New York Tribun? Ina) AMSTERDAM, Nov. 10.?There are indications of anticipation in Berlin that the place of the peace conference, when it comes, will be The Hague. One such indication is the arrival at the German Legation there of Dr. Pleyn, not unknown In international journal? istic circles of London. He has recently been employed by the German propaganda department, i He went to Brest - Litoysk and had charge there of publicity arrange? ments. It is thought his return anti? cipates his appointment to a similar I office at tho peace conference. World Democracy U.S. Idea No Other Nation Had Concep? tion of It, Says Mrs. Catt America is responsible for the demo? cratic ideal that ha3 been introduced into this war, according to Mr? Carrie I Chapman Catt, who spoke last night at ; .the forum of the Church of the Ascen ! sion on "Kings, German and American." "Until America entered tho war," she j asserted, "with the slogan To make J the world safe for democracy,' not | Great Britain, Belgium, France or Italy 1 had begun to have a conception of what !*dcmocracy really means." Concerning the revolution in Ger? many Mrs. Catt said: "When a king abdicates in time of war the natural result is that the na? tion turns to anarchy, murder and vio? lence, since it ha? no leader. But if we in America can show them what I real government fcr all of the people is, will they not gladly adopt it?'' Major Osterreith Says Rep? aration for Barbarities Must Be Made Whatever happens to the German Empire, Belguim, which has suffered proportionately more than any other country in the war, will insis't upon an indemnity sufficient to rehabilitate the down-trodden nation economically and politically. Belgian officials de? clared yesterday that Belgium's claim against Germany would approximate forty billions cf dollars and in all probability Belgium will ask that Luxemburg bo aded to Belgium terri? tory. Major Leon Osterrieth, chief of the Belgian War Commission, said yester? day that even if Germany is split into republics Belgium's claim will not be jeopardized. "The fact that Germany has ousted the Kaiser will not lessen the empire's responsibility for tire damage done," said Major osterrieth. "What will happen to the Kaiser? I know what ought to happen to him. but he probably will adopt Switzerland or Holand as his permanent refuge." (The former Kaiser is now in Hol? land.) Summary of Demand? Mujor Osterreith summarized the various "items," which will appear on the bill of indemnity to be presented to Germany. In occupying all but oOO square miles of Belgian territory, the German army drove out moro than 10 per cent of Belgium's 8,000,000 population. How many civilians?children, women and old men?were killed is undeter? mined, but the loss in soldiers is about 120,000, or 00 per cent of Belgian men who were in service before or who went into the army after war began. Another item which will be pre? sented will be $4,000,000,000 for fines and forced loans imposed on Belgians and for raw materials taken- from Bel? gium by the invading hordes. Other damagea suffered by Belgium, as enumerated by Major Osterreith, are: Damages to cities: Antwerp, with 300,000 population, damaged by bom? bardment; Brussels, with 600,000 popu? lation, damaged by the complete Ger? manizaron of its civil government; Liege, forts destroyed; D?nant, 12,000 out of 16,000 homes destroyed and 600 persons massacred; Namur, Termonde i and Aerschot, severely damaged. Railroads and electric railway systems ? were disarranged so that they will have to be reconstructed. , industry Crippled i * . Machinery in factories was taken to Germany, so that Germany could use it during the war, and afterward pre? vent Belgium from resuming in? dustries. "One reason why our indemnity de j mand will be high is that Germany actually took out of our country all the money she could get," said Major I Osterreith. "All the bank3 were re \ quired to make forced loans. The | loot thus seized probably will amount I to four or five billions of dollars. "So far as we can learn the soft coal mines on the Mons and in the i southwest have not been damaered. j Belgium gets enough coal out of these I mines for her own and for export re? quirements. It has been reported that the Germans in retreating might flood these mines, but there is no confirma? tion of this report." -__, Demand Native Rule for Hun Colonies of Africa Two thousand negroes who met last night in the Palace Casino, 135th Street i and Madison Avenue, adopted resolu i tions demanding that the captured j German colonies in Africa be turned over to the natives. They demanded i also tho cessation of lynchings in |-this country, asserting that if a stop | were not put to them 12,000,000 negroes I would be able to start a revolution. | They also asked that the principle of j self-determination of people? be ap I plied to all European, colonies where I people of African descent predominate. ? - Nauen Wireless Officially Reports West Front Quiet WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.?"It is off! cially reported the West front is quiet to-day." said a wireless message from the German station at Nauen received to-night by naval radio towers in this country. 4 Kaiser's Downfall Expiates Crime of 71, Says Rabbi Wise Crushing of Despot Joy to the World, Declares the Rev. W. L. Sullivan 'Dog Eat Dog' Foreseen^ The Rev. Charles A. Eaton Thinks Cruel Germans Will Devour One Another Several ministers wer? interviewed ! by The Tribune yesterday on the abdi- ! cation of the Kaiser. Here are the < comments: Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Free Syna- ', gogue: "I do not believe the Kaiser has abdicated. The best we may dare be- ! lievo is that he 'was abdicated.' The ? monstrous anachronism of kingship by . divine right is now ended forever. In the midst of world rejoicings over the ' long-deferred dethronement of tho last of a brutal house, one thinks of the precious pair of Kaisers of Austria and Germany, one senile and the other futile, dreaming, through the instru? mentality of militarism, of three things. "1. To beat back the rising tides of J democracy. "2. To crush the impertinently self insistent little nationalities, such as j Belguim and Serbia. "3. To bring the world slowly but ! certainly under the dominion of Cen? tral Europe. Crime of 1S71 Expiated "And what is the end? The sword of militarism is broken; Democracy is triumphant over the ruins of" the Iiohenzolem and Hapsburg imperial? ism; tho little nations and nationali? ties are to be free to live amid peace and justice, defended by the league of nations which is to grow out of the peace. The crime of 1871 is expiated." The Rev. William L. Sullivan, All Souls' Church: "The Kaiser's abdica-; tioii is a sign of more than a military or political victory. It is one of the I most impressive indications in modern 1 history of a moral victory for man- | kind. Absolute power, whether in ) Church or State, is always and forever: corrupt power. It corrupts the man i who holds it and corrupts the people who submit to it. With tho de? parture of Kaiserism, therefore, we \ have one less danger to the moral in- ! tegrity and civil liberty of the world. Whenever a despot goes, whether; Charles I or Louis XVI or Napoleon ' or Wilhelm, the fittest word that can come *from our lips is: 'Thanks bo to '? God!'" The Rev. John F. Carson. Central ? Presbyterian Church: "The Kaiser has j realized the fulfillment of the Script- j ure, which says, 'A proud spirit goeth before a fall.' I am glad that the Kai- j ser has conic to his own. Satan fell from heaven to hell. Tho Kaiser de-i serves a like fall. His frightful self-! ishness, that has brought such devas- ? tation to the world, shuts him out from j all consideration on tho part of men ' who love honor." Would Try Kaiser The Rev. William II. Morgan, Cal- ! vary Baptist Church: "To abdicate was ! about the only thing left for the Kai- ! ser to do. None the less, I hope that I justice will be done to him. I hope ' that he will be put before a court and tried for the crime he has committed. His abdication is not enough." The Rev. S. Edward Young, Bedford Presbyterian Church: "In the provi? dence of God, Kaiser Wilhelm ,and hi s minions are to be punished by the German people themselves. How could their chastisement be more bitter than ' at the hands of the very Socialists of whom the Kaiser said: 'A horde of' men unworthy to bear the name of ? Germans'.' These avengers will not,; forget the Kaiser's speech to his sol- ! diers leaving for China: 'No quarter i will bo given, no prisoners will be j taken.' The Kaiser and his horde have { kindled a tire they can never stop, ? Whatever comes of the armistice, the j Kaiser and von Tirpitz and Bernhardi : and the author of the 'Hymn of Hate' j and all who have led Germany astray ? are now to taste from the hands of their own countrymen the cup they ; have compelled millions to drink." Charles A. Eaton, Madison Avenue Baptist Church: "The German people are going to devour each other, thank ; God! Their punishment is going to be, self-inflicted. I was afraid the French and British might get into Germany and be tempted to take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I would rather have the Germans pull their own teeth. They can do it ] better than anybody else and they will get what's coming to them." Wilson, in Church, Told of Truce Delay Capital Is Without Official in? formation Early in Day of Events Abroad WASHINGTON, Nov. ?0.?Washing? ton had no official information early to-day of events transpiring in Europe.
