HIS CRIME NOT
POLITICAL ONE
French Lawyer Holds Former Kais-
er May Be Lawfully Extra
dited.

Paris. Tuesday, Nov. 26-W William
HohenzolIern can be extradited. in
the opinion of Professor Barthel-
emy of the Paris law faculty, who
explains that his guiding principle
is that when there is an apparent
conflict between law and common
sense the solution is always found
by following the latter-----
The theory that a political crime
is any crime inspired by purely po-
litical motives, the professor de-
clares has long been abandoned. He
notes that Belgium in 1856 classed
regicides among common law Grim
inaIs Grimes such as the assas-
sination of President Carnot of
France and King Humhert of Italy
; were inspired by political motives,
he points out, and yet the authors
of them were executed.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the professor
continues, are condemned even in
state of war by international
law and constitute common law
crimes. To maintain that they are
not because the objective for which
they were committed was political,
is. he argues, an absurdity.
London. Nov. 2S.-Wil!iam Ho-
henzollern will have to leave Hol-
land if his presence there becomes
perilous to that country. Premier
Ruija de Beerenbrouck is quoted
by the Amsterdam correspondent
of the Daily Express as declaring
in the second chamber of the Dutch
parliament Nov 20
THE kaiser is in Holland as a
private person." said the premier.
as quoted by the correspondent.
The hospitality of the country is
extended 10 him in accordance witt
a centuries old tradition. But it
goes without saying that the mo-
ment his sojourn becomes a danger
TO the state he will have to leave
We believe the kaiser and those
with MIN understand the position
and will act according to their in
terests"

TREASON CHARGE
MADE AT ROME
Mem berS Of Italian Parliament Said
20 BE Mixed Up in the
CapOrettO Disaster.

Rome. Saturday. Nov. 23. Asser-
tions were made today in the lower
house Of the Italian parliament that
proofs had been secured that sew
eral senator's and deputies were In
voIved in pacifist and anarchistic
activities which resulted in the Cap
Oretto disaster
Amid the excitement former Pre-

1T is plain" he exclaimed, that
one or the other must leave this

A committee after examining doc
uments in the hands of secret ser

Washington. Nov. 2S-With all
arrangements completed for his
trip 10 Europe next week, Presi-
dent Wilson worked for several
hours today on his message 10 con
gress. which many officials believe,
will contain the first announcement
Of the delegation selected to at
tend the peace conference. In some
quarters the impression still pre-
vailed that the names of the dele
gates would be made known this
week. but il seemed more probable
that these would be announced
first in the address the president
will read before the joint session
Monday or Tuesday.
The president is expected to dis
cuss with Secretary McAdoO tomor-
row the appointment of the lat
ter's successor as head Of the
treasury, TO take office at once. AS
Mr. McAdoo will continue in charge
of railroads until the end of the
year, 1t is understood there has
been less haste IN naming n dtrec-

for Permanent Stations for
the Purpose.

Washington, D. C. Nov. 2S.-The
navy departments program for
making permanent the p coastal
air defense stations planned for the
war was explained to the house ap-
preparations committee yesterday
by Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of
construction, who asked that $50
769 600 be provided for this work
next year. Squadrons of fighting
air craft of every description will
be included in the equipment for
stations along the Atlantic, gulf and
Pacific insular possessions.
In a general discussion of plans
Admiral Taylor said the fastest air
plane in the world was built in the
United States. This machine, known
as the Kirkham triplane, developed
a speed of 140 miles an hour, and
experiments are contemplated to
see if it cannot do better than that.
The admiral also told of Ger

back. It was sent out to bring
home a German commander, but
he was captured before the craft
arrived.
Later. however. after a close ex-
animation of the documents, the
president of the committee an
uounced that that body had come
unanimously to the opinion that the
charges were unfounded.
