NAPOLEON I.
Declared an outlaw by the allied
powers March 13, 1815.

ional government to leave Paris and
went first to Malmaison, from which
he fled when a Prussian detachment
approached to seize him dead or alive.
Went to Rochefort on July 3, plan­
ning to sail for the United States,
but British cruisers in the harbor cut
off his escape. Ordered by the pro­
visional government on July S to quit
France, within 24 hours, but waited
until the 13th, when he decided to
cast himself on the generosity of
Great Britain.
Went to England on a British war­
ship. Declared a common prisoner of
the allied powers and sent by the
British government to the Island of
St. Helena, where he lived under con­
stant guard and died on St. Helena

Washington, D. C.
Convene an international court to
try the ex-Ua'ser for his crimes
against the world.
That's the latest suggestion in
Washington official circles, In answer
to the question every man, woman and
child is asking: "What shall wo do
with Bill Jlohenzollcrn?"
It was first advanced bv Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington, in
an interview today for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.
Senator Poindexter, who was a Spo­
kane lawyer and district judge before
his election to congress, is an author
sty
y°n
international law. Here id
Swhat he says:
"The great powers united for the
'purpose of defining international law
as the code of honor of nations. Cer­
tainly the nations which created in­
ternational laws have the power to
enforce them.
"Why should they not now estab­
lish an international court, separate
from the Peace Congress or the allied
war council, or any organization that,
may come out of a league-of nations,
for the sole purpose of placing the ex
kaiser on trial and sentencing him to
his just deserts
Wanton Crimes Violate All Laws.
"He has certainly been guilty of vi­
olations of all the laws of civilized
^warfare, written and unwritten, and
~of the international .laws covering the
land, the sea and the air. Some of
the crimes of which he stands ac­
cused are:
"The destruction of private proper­
ty, by whole cities.
"The wanton murder of non-com­
batants on land.
"The murder of innocent women
and babies at sea.
"The killing of civilians an4 destruc­
tion of property by air raids on non
defended cities.
"The murder of Edith Cavell and
Captain Fryatt
"The sinking of the Lusitania.
The flagrant violations of Ameri­
can rights, which forced the United
States Into the war.
"The introduction of poison gases
and other uncivilized weapons.
"There are many other offenses for
which he should be indicted and
brought,to trial. Holland would give
him up Veadily in such an event she
doesn't want him, anyway, and would
be only too»- glad to have somebody
take him off her hands.
"An international tribunal of this
character, composed of the best inter­
national and criminal lawyers of the
world, could be depended on to mete
out just punishment to the man who
'brought four years and a half of hor­
ror on the world."
Will onselence Punish Wilhelm?
Another new possibility was sug­
gested to me toy a professor of psy­
chology. His contention is that "Wil­
helm the Damned's conscience will
provide far more just punishment for
him thin any fate that can be forced
on him by extreme measures.
His plan is to bring the ex-kaiser
before a court which would be in con­
tinuous session for a year or more.
Each day during his period "Count"
Hohenzollefn would be placed on the
stand, to .be cross-examined on his
crimes.
He would be tried, cn & larga num­

Nothing in the most creeping of Ed­
gar Allan Poe's horror tales could
equal the mental torment of William
Hohenzollern under -y.ch a vigorous
campaign to break clown his morale.
But the chief objection to the plan
is that it would probably make of him
a raving maniac—and maaaics are
rot capable of suffering.
Still another suggestion heard here
is that of a court-martial headed by
Marshal Foch to try the ox-kaiser on
the battlefield of his crimes. i'jNext
IJut again the objection is heard that
a court-martial would in all probabil­
ity order him "shot at sunrise"—and
everybody agrees that SHOOTING IS
TOO GOOD FOR BILL HOHENZOL

Body Which Has Flayed Im­
portant Part in the War
Through Today
100,000 MEN ARE LISTED
Manpower of North Dakota
Classified for Future Mili­
tary Service
The North Dakota district exemp­
tion board, after 15 very ousy months,
today found itself without a job. The
dutie3 of the district board ended
Sunday evening, when a telegram
came from Provost Marshal General
Crowder directing the suspension of
further operations oji the part of this
body. In the same message, General
Crowder diretted that local boards
proceed with the classification of all
September 12 registrants between theV the socialists of the majority,
ages of 18 and 36 inclusive. The clas- —4~1
shification of registrants from 19 to
36 inclusive already had been ordered,
and Provost Marshal Crowder now in
cludes"Itf"this group registrants of 18.
The work of classification will be
done by local boards, which in each
county will be expected to remain on
the job and to work jufct as assiduous­
ly as though the great war were still
On until every registrant shall have
been properly classified. Uncle Sam
will then have at his disposal in the
state of North Dakota a complete cen­
sus of available manpower between
the ages of 18 and 36, classified and
grouped as to eligibility for military
service. The number so classified
will exceed 100,000.
North Dakota, because its popula­
tion is less than 1,000,000, was forced
to content itself with one district
board. Had there been 200,000 more
people in the state, North Dakota
could have had two "boards. As it was
one 'board has handled all the exemp­
tion claims for 800,000 people, and it
has been some task. Remarkably lit­
tle complaint from any source has
been registered against the district
board. Its rulings have seldom beeo
contested. There has 'been the usual
small percentage of appeals to the
president but in 'no instance has the
district board "been reversed. Gend­
er ally the sentiment seems to be ih
North Dakota that the distinct hoard
throughout its exacting deliberations
used good sense, justice and sound
judgment.

honorably retired, are L. E. Eirdzell,

and labor, secretary W. L. Richards,

What form of government will Ger­
many take, that of a political republic
Iil our own or a socialist soviet^iv-.
eminent' like that of Russia?
The dittos which has just begun in
0 rniany will shortly evolve some sort
of organization such as was evolved in
•Russia, in the opinion of observers
hero, aiul the concensus is that it will
take the form of a political, constitu
ti'iiuil. federal republic wjfch a presi­
dent and a constituent assembly elect
ed by'direct vote of the people. ,,
WHICH SOCIALIST FACTION WIL)L
BOSS?
Beyond question the socialists will
control the new government, according
to belief here. The question now is,
which socialist faction will gain con­
trol
There are two socialist parties which
now are the gripping power in Ger­
many
1. Majority socialists or social dem­
ocrats, headed by Scheidemann and
Ebert, now serving as chancellor, who
supported the war and were looked on
by radical socialists all over the world
as instruments of autocracy.
2. Independent socialists, headed by
Carl Liebknecht, who opposed the war
and fought for peace, but because they
were in the minority were persecuted.
Friedrich Eliert, former editor of a
socialist newspaper, and member of the
reichstag from Bremen, was made
chancellor by Prince Max to appease
BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNES
He ap­
parently is in control at present not
only of the de facto government, but 04
the Scheidemann branch of the social
ist party.
POLITICAL CHAOS LIKELY FOll,
AWHILE.
It is not yet ciear to which faction
the "red guards" who have revolted,
seized the German fleet, occupied Ber­
lin and set up workmen's and soldiers'
councils, will adhere. The belief here
is that they are members of the minor­
ity.
Now that autocracy's power is gone,
the independent socialists will increase
in numbers and will organize soviets
of their own. Then will come a clash
between the two socialist groups \yhich
will parallel in almost evefy particular
the fight between the social democrats
and the Bolsheviki in Russia,
According to present indications the
new ruler of Germany will be selected
from one of these men:
Majority Socialists: Scheidemann,
Ebert, Suedekum.
"independent Socialists: Harden,
Liebknecht, Haasc, Ledebour.
Out of the whole group the jnan who
stands head and shoulders above them
all is Maximilian Harden, the fearless
editor who persistently criticised and
harrassed Hoheuzolern during the four
years of "war. But it is_a question
whether he will be able to'gather suf
ficent support to fdrce his election.
Leaders of the Friends of German
Democracy in Washington declare that
neither Scheidemann, Ebert nor Suede
kum will be acceptable to the minority
party, even as a compromise. They go
as far as to predict that if Ebert re
msyns in power the radicaljsocialists
will organize soviet groups all over the
empire and burl the majority group

from power, just as.Kerencky was ov­
erthrown in Russia.
The result wiirinean that Germany
will be in the same state of political
and economic chads that has existed
in Russia for-a year, and that a large
allied army may "be necessary to re­
store order. The question of enforcing
the armistice terms and of recognizing
a stable government with which to dis­
cuss terms of peace will give the allies
considerable trouble.
FOCH ADDRESSES
VICTORY MESSAGE
TO HIS SOLDIERS
Paris, Nov. 18.—Marshal Foch, com­
mander-in-chief, has addressed the fol­
lowing message to the allied armies:

the enemy you have for months
fought him with faith and indefatig­
able energy, without respite. You
