TO TRY DR.. LIEBKNECHr.
ReiShstag Turns Down oeisfists'
Plea for Postponement.

Berlin, May II. = The business
committee of the Reichstag, to which
the matter had been referred, declin-
ed unanimously, with the exception
of two Socialist votes, to consider an
urgent motion by the Socialists to
POSTPONE the trial of DR.. Karl Lieb-
Knecht and to suspend his arrest until
after the adjournment of the Reich
stag.
The Socialists claimed parliamen-
.ary immunity for DR.. Liebknecht,
while admitting the justification of
his arrest.
Herr Won Fayer, the reporter of the
committee, read official documents in
which DR.. Liebknecht admitted par
ticipatioh in a peace demonstration,
but denied that he was guilty OF
treason.
The majority of the committee sup
ported Herr Won Payer, in the opin-
ion that DR.. Liebknecht had forfeit
I'd parliamentary immunity.
The Socialists introduced a resolu-
ton on May 8, requesting the Chan
.ellor to release DR.. Liebknecht, and
suspend proceedings against him un-
fiji the Reichstap adjourned. DR..
Liebknecht, who is one of the Social
list leaders, was arrested May J., If

ton in Berlin, while he was address
ing a peace demonstration.

Washingtng, May 11.-Conferees
on the Army Reorganization bill in ar
all-day session yesterday failed tt
reach final agreement on disputed
phases of the measures, but last night
there was a general feeling that they

All were agreed that it was useless

posed Federal volunteer reserve army
The general understanding seemed tc
De that peace strength of the regu-
lar army would be fixed at approx

Champions of the volunteer reserve
are now urging perfection of the
training camp provision Of the House
bill, with pay at the regular army
rate for citizens who enlist in instruc-
ton camps during the periods they
are in training.

TO OBTAIN EXPERIENCE.
Two Americans Will Attend Avia
ton School in Great Britain.

NEW YORK. January 29.-To obtain
experience as aviators in the British
army. which will equip them for serv-
ice in the aviation corps of the United
States, William f. Sullivan and a.
Livingston Allen. two young teachers
in an aviation school at Hammonds-
port. n, Y. start today for Liverpool
on the American line steamer New
York. They have been appointed
lieutenants of the Royal Flying Corps
Of Great Britain and are licensed by
the Aero Club of America as pilots.
Each appears to be not more than
twenty years old.
Their ambition to join the American
aviation corps is blocked by the fact
they have not the military training
required by United StAes regulations
and which could be acquired here only
by course at Annapolis or West Point.
They expect that before they return
from service in Europe legislation will
have been enacted here permitting men
who have had military training in
Europe to be appointed members Of
the Aviation Corps pf the United States
Army or Navy.
