German Kaiser blamed by Liebknecht for war in radical dispute
The piece argues Dr Karl Liebknecht demands trial of Wilhelm II, the Kaiser, and questions the German public’s complicity in World War I. It asserts the Kaiser caused the war with royal push, while blaming both rulers and people, and contemplates trial by allied military court versus socialist court, condemning all parties and urging swift punishment. It also shifts to urban issues in Laredo, urging paving and sewer work to tackle mud, cold, and stunted commerce.
