Concerning Germany after the signing of the Peace Treaty Marquis Okuma, the Sage of Waseda," makes the following observations in the colums of the Maxmichi:
"It is now reported that Ger many has officially announced
bar infention of signing the CORONA
Treaty of Peace. This decision was probably reached by the German authorities, because public opinion in that coun- try became so pronouncedly inclined to the signing that the National Council was finally influenced thereby. This is,

district. The question confront- ing Germany after ahe signs the Treaty is her observance of the peace terms. It is open to question whether the Allies are well-advised to
try the ex-Kaiser as one responsible for the war. In my opinion, this is too excessive a measure to be taken against the vanquished. Britain and France, who suffered German so disastrously from ambition, hold very strong views on the subject, while America assumes a mach more moderate attitude. As for Japan, she is: even more lenient with Germany than America There is no doubt whatever about the ex-Kaiser's: responsibility for the war, but it is noticeable at the same time that he showed some hesitation
in opening hostilities to the last
moment. It is therefore nearer the mark to regard the German Crown Prince as the chief mover of the war. He was always actuated by a strong sense of ambition, and egged on the military party to start the war, Such being the case, it is a mis take to lay the whole respon sibility at the door of the Kaiser, The Hohenzollern dynasty as a whole, which was inspired with the militarism inculcated b Frederick the Great, is to be held responsible. It is not beyond the range of possibility that the -Allier will banish the Kaiser to an isolated is land, like Napoléon, as a précau- tion against his resumption of power, to say nothing of taking such steps as shall prevent him from again ascending the Throne,
