PARIS PROFESSOR
THINKS KAISER
CAN BE TAKEN

Paris, Tuesday, Nov 2G-William
HohenZoliern can be extradicted. in
the opinion of Professor Barthelemy
of the Paris law faculty. who eX-
plains that his guiding principle is
that when there is an apparent con-
f1ict between law and common sense
the solution is always found by fol-
lowing the latter.
The theory that political crime
is any crime inspired by purely poll
teal motives, the professor declares
has long been abandoned. He notes
that Belgium. in 1885, classed regi-
cides among common law criminals.
Crimes such as the assassnatiOns Of
President Carnot of France and King
Humbert Of Italy were inspired by
political motives, he points out. and
yet the authors of them were exc
cuted.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the professor con-
tinues,. are condemned even in a
state Of war by international Jaw
and constitute common law crimes.
To maintain that they are not be-
cause the object of which they We're
COMMITTED was political is. he argues.
an absurGity.

desirable new applicants to make out
application blanks and forward these

NOW BEING WRITTEN
WILL NAME DELEGATES

Washington, Nov. 2S.-With all ar
completed for his trip to
Europe next week. President Wilson
worked for several hours today on
tis message to Congress, which. many
officials believe, will contain the first
announcement Of the delegation Sc
lected to attend the peace conference
In som quarters the impression, still
prevails that the names Of the dele
gates would be. made known this
week, hut it seemed more probable
that these would be announced first
in the address the President wilt read
before the joint session Monday or
Tuesday.
The President is expected ~ dis
cuss with Secretary McAdoo tomor-
row the appointment of the latter's
successor as head of the treasury to
take Office Immediately. As Mr.. Nc
Adoo will continue in charge of the
railroads until the end Of the year
it is understood there has beer less
haste in naming director general,
although the appointment will he an
nounceG before the Presidents de-
parture from Washington.

Zurich. Sunday, Nov 24-Dr. w. =.
Solf. the German foreign minister.
has addressed the following note to
the allied powers:
according to an additional note
sent to the armistice convention by
the allies. Belgium. France, Luxem-
burg and Alsace Lorraine must be
made i'll three stages. each being
marked on the map. The third stage
has already been reached and en-
croaches upon the Rhine country to
the west Of Prum, Oetween, Merzig
and Sarregruemines, and comprises
Sarrelouis and Sarrebruck. 1t seems
possible that this encroachment may
have been made with a view to at
tempting the annexation of these
territories to Alsace Lorraine. The
protest Of the members Of the Ger
man commission has not been con-
sidered. The German government
makes most solemn protest against
all attempts intended to deprive
Germany Of hese territories"
The German armistice commission
has again presented arguments sup
