Declares Hohenzollern's
Surrender Cannot
Be Forced, By Law

London, Dec. 17.-(British Wireless
Service. )-Friedrich Ebert, Socialist
premier of Germany declared in an
interview yesterday hat he did not
know Of any legal method by which
William H~ohenzollern's surrender
could be forced.
II cannot think Of any provision in
law upon which the former emperor
would have to be given up" he said.
But that is not q question which
closely concerns Us. We have separ-
ated ourselves from him and now de-
sire only that guilt for the outbreak
OF the war should be finally fixed in
order that he may be exposed. once
for ALL"
Asked as to his views Of the future,
Ebert replied:
II am optimistic, but you must re-
member that, influence upon the
course Of events Is limited. We can
not create bread for the German
people. II the nation Ia allowed to
starve. then the inevitable will follow.
That q nation can be brought to a
desperate pass and burst through all
restraint, has been shown by the ex-
psiences of the last year. Our old
system came to the ground M . result
Of Russian events which 1t, itself pro-
vpked. It is poor consolation, how
eyer that in falling, one draes ones

solution would be preferable."

important parts in Margaret Mayo's
farce, Baby Mine" Thursday at
the Spencer Square, in which
Madge Kennedy makes her debut
as a screen star for G oldwyn,
caused Hugo Ballin, who directed
the picture, no small trouble. The
three babies are presented singly,
as twins, and finally as triplets to
an admiring but deceived father.
The babies were requisitioned from
the neighborhood of the Goldwyn
studios at Fort Lee, n. J. Their
mothers had no difficulty in identi-
flying them, but all babies look alike
to Mr.. Balm, and he found him
self getting the lot all mixed up.
Finally he solved the situation by
marking the babies with a different
colored shawl for each. These
shawls were not called for in Miss
Mayo's manuscript, but they played
a useful part in the photographing
of the production.
