WON’T HELP KAISER

FORMER EMPEROR 18 LEFT TO HIS DOOM. Effort to Add Protoctlvo Clause to Poacs Treaty Defeated by Gorman Assembly. Weimar, Jury 11.—The German national assembly very plainly demonstrated that it would take no official interest in the fate of the former emperor. At the opening of the session the conservatives introduced a resolution to leave to Judgment of authorities in international law as to whether the proposed International court could Institute trial and w>uld, with retroactive Jurisdiction and authority “impose penalties which have not heretofore been prescribed In International law." The resolution was directed against the enforcement of articles 227 to 230, Inclusive, of the pence treaty, which provides for the trial of the former emperor and other Germans accused of causing the war or of violations of the rules of war. It also provides for the establishment of a "neutral court" to pass upon the question of responsibility for the conflict. The bill ratifying the treaty passed the first reading, and then a recess was taken to give the parties an opportunity to discuss the protective resolution. After 15 minutes the assembly reconvened. Doctor Schiffer, national liberal leader and former minister of finance, stated that he regretted the introduction of the resolution, as It would serve only to confuse the situation. A clerical speaker said the time for reservations was passed. The conservatives defended the resolution, but it was decisively beaten. The treaty bill was then taken up and quickly passed second and third readings, with the opposition coining from democrats, national liberals and conservatives. President Ebert signed the bill ratifying the peace treaty at eight o’clock.
