II y I'nlted Prem: PAItIS, April 12. A roll call of the whole peace conference may be necessary to determine whether t he former kaiser is to be hanged or otherwise corporally punished for his crimes. The committee on responsibility for the war was divided on the ques tion of personal punishment for Wilhelm, (Ireat Britain, France and Italy favored it: the United States and Japan opposed it. The ultimate decision, it was said today, may have to be rendered when the plenary session discusses the com mittee report. Would Reserve IVovUion. The point at issue was a para graph in the committee'- report providing arraignment before the international ccurt, or national courts of all persons deemed guilty of military crimes "regardless of rank." The Japanese and American members made a reservation on this provision. Twelve hundred and fifty copies of the report were ordered printed bui thp printing was held up be cause the dissenters wanted to In clude a memorandum setting forth the reasons for their objections, while the other three desired sim ply to note the fact there was a dis senting opinion. FIihI Legal Objection. The American objection was based on the Inability to find any international law sanctioning prose cution of the heads of states, be cause it Js legally assumed their ac tions "are dictated by policies of state. The Japanese protested they could not subscribe to a doctrine which would . contradict their theory that an emperor is a sacred person, reigning by divine right. There was FOme talk in British circles today that Premier Lloyd George will demand Wilhelm's head in open conference. If he does not get it, the former ka.'ser's principal punishment is likely to be a para graph In the committee's final re port, condemning his actions, since there is reason to believe American legal objections will carry greatei weight In the conference than they did in committee. Consider War Iolicy. The report, as finally drawn, in cludes still another ground for in dictment of persons responsible for war crimes, making a total of 22. The 'S 2nd relates to "organized ter rorism" as a deliberate war policy. Under this a number of hih Ger man officers might be summoned before an international court even it the former kaiser and crown prince, Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, Field Marshal von Hindenburg and fJen.
