PUNISHED
FOR HIS
MISDEEDS!
(By lid ward M. Thierry)
PARIS. April .‘10— There is one
man, a sovereign who stands outside
the peace conference and who thinks
Bill Hohcnzollern ought to be dragge.1
into an international criminal court
and tried and punished for his mis
deeds.
This sovereign is the Prince of
Monaco. Here’s what ho says:
“Bring the ex-kaiser to trial be
fore an international .tribunal is the
solution conscience demands— though
others may decide whether it is politk*
and timely. Since attempts against
individuals are punished, why shoidd
this frightful crime against humanitv
remain unpunished?’’
Severed Friendship When War Broke.
The Prince of Monaco was once a
personal friend of the then kaiser. Tie
severed that friendship in 1014 sent
back to the kaiser all the high German
orders that had been conferred upon
him, and last year published a bool:,
•‘Germany and Universal Conscience.”
It was a powerful indictment an 1
created a sensation.
Recently the prince, in an inter
view with Andre Viollis. a well known
Parisian journalist, declared the kais
er should be punished. He told why.
This is what he told'Viollis:
“Did the kaiser want war?— Did
he know it to be imminent? From
various facts which have come back
to my mind I cannot entertain any
doubt of it. Yet until a few years ago
before the war he seemed sincere in
his wish for peace and renewed this
bcause I had been entrusted inter
course with France. 1 know with the
mission of trying to bring it about
Megalomania Grew on William.
“But at the same time a terrible
and guilty megalomania was growing
up in him. He was anxious to see
‘Deutchland uber Alles.’ From the day
when he felt that it would be impos
sible for him to attain this peace by
peaceful means, the idea of war be
came an obsession with him.
I shall never forgot the expression
of his face, disfigured with fury, and
the hatred of his voice when, in July.
1914, he told me: ‘If they oblige me to
make war the world will see what it
has dreamed of’— words which proved
sadly prophetic. Hypocritical words,
too, because he could not pretend the
war into which he declared himself to
be driven, was not at that very time
prepared, was in every detail.
“Let us admit that the Pan-Ger
manists, the junkers and his'son want
ed to bring the war about was it not
possible for him publicly to denounce
it and even to leave the throne? But
no— he absolutely wished for the war,
and conducted it himself in all its
hopelesness and barbarity. He has now
to bear the heavy burden of responsi
bility.”
