RUSSIANS HAVE ID GO ID BED

WASHINGTON, Dec. Y. - The Russian problem has already been taken up by President Wilson with French statesmen, it was learned here today and the determination of a definite policy on which the Allied countries and the United States may agree will be one of the first things undertaken at the preliminary meet ing preceding the peace conference. Every proposed solution has so far been blocked by the unanswered question of who is qualified to speak for the Russian people.
 Gloomy reports of the situation in Petrograd continue. The Soviet gov crnment has restricted its influence to Hungry. Destitute prisoners are returning from the German prison camps. As to the condition of the middle classes, many are dying oi hunger daily, there is no fuel and people are obliged to stay in bed day and night.

Punishment of the Hun War
 Lords Is Not a Matter That
 Can be Entrusted to a Jury
' Associated fress.

LONDON, Dec. 17-(British wire less service )-Responsibility for pun- ishing the former German emperor and other high German officials for crimes committed during the war must rest with governments and not with jurists, according to the Mar quis of Crewe. former secretary of state for the colonies, in letter pub lished in the Westminster Gazette. He writes@
 The atrocities in Belgium, the ill., treatment of prisoners and the execu- tions Of Capt. Fryatt and Miss Edith Cavell are acts that can be brought home to the individual persons con cerned and punishment can be in flicted by tribunals. When, however, we go beyond these persons, respon- sibility is altered. The former Ger man emperor and the higher German politicians must be surrendered first and then punished by executive acts. For this procedure there are most ample precedents. These criminals can be put away where they will have no further chance of bringing mischief on the world, or they can be executed. In other words, 1t is i'm portant that legal technicalities must not be allowed to divert the hand of justice. as they we'll may do. in a field in which there Is no basis of previous law to govern procedure. The responsibility must not rest with jurists, but with governments

Mrs. Chauncey Lyons IS in receipt of a letter from her husband, Lieut. C. AE Lyons, the young man having been at Brest, on November 23rd, the time the letter was written. He says in part:
 You folks will probably wonder what brings me here so l will tell you. On November l2th I was sent from the hospital at Bcaune to Blois to be re-classiiied. l passed through Paris on my way over and had one day in the gay city. found it a wonderful place. After arriving at Blofs I was examined and was found to be O. k. again and so was taken out of Class 2-B and put in IA and made ready for active service again.

Ebert Says That He Cannot
 See Any Means of Getting
 The Kaiser Out of Holland
By Associated Press.


 LONDON. Dec. 17-(British wire less service) - Friederich Ebert, socialist premier of Germany, declar- cd in an interview yesterday that he did not know of any legal method by which William Hohenzollern's sur render could be forced.
 q cannot think of any provision in law upon which the former emperor would have to be given up," he said. But that is not a question which closely concerns us. We have sep arated ourselves from him and now desire only that guilt for the outbreak of war should be legally fixed in or der that he may be exposed, once for all"
 Asked as to his view of the future, Ebert replied:
 q am optimistic, but you must re- member that our influence upon the course of events is limited. We can not create bread for the German people If the nation is allowed to starve, then the inevitable will follow. That a nation can be brought to a desperate pass and burst through all restraints has been shown by the ex- periences of the past year. Our old system came 10 the ground as a re- suit of Russian events which it it. self provoked Ii is poor consola- ton. however, that in falling one drags ones enemy to the ground. To us any other solution would be pre- ferable."

In later years he accumulated quite large fortune in his legal practice, erecting one of the most magnificent homes in that city, as well did he prosper in mak- ing investments.
 Judge Silent was regarded as one of the big jurists of his day in Ari- zona, and his decisions on the bench attracted wide comment in the west for ability and for his thorough i'm depreciation of the law which he so ably espouscd He spent his carly childhood in San Jose, Cal, where he received his education at the Uni versitv of the Pacific near that city. He taught school, studied law, and later began to practice It was at San Jose where he married Miss Mary C. Tantau, who survives.

 Of the children to survive are Ed ward Silent, a son. and two daugh- tcrs. Mrs. Frank ]. Thomas, and Miss Florence Silent. Mrs Geo. NJ. White. of Prescott. is niece of the deceased.

More than g wireless stations in Mexico were under German control during the war, Edward Nally. vice-presi- dent of the Marconi Wireless com pany, told the house merchant ma rine committee today while testifying in opposition to the bill proposing government monopoly of radio sta tions in the United States.
 "The Germans were in full control of the wireless stations in Mexico" said Nally, telling on an investigation made last year Of the Mexican wire less situation by an agent of his com- pany.
 Apparatus Strictly German
 Although the Mexican govern ment claims title to all the wireless stations" he said, the apparatus is strictly German and there have been German operators in every one of the 20 odd stations. Moreover, there has sprung up government electrical shops with German superintendentS and the whole system has been super vised by German radio experts who were formerly employed at Sayville and Tuckerton and on the German liners which were interned in this country at the beginning of the war"
 Officers of the Marconi Wireless company of America testified today before the house merchant marine committee in opposition to the ad- ministration bill authorizing govern ment acquisition of all wireless sta tiOns
 For Private Interests.
 Edward ]. Nally of New York. general manager of the company, ar gued that trans-oceanic and trans continental stations should be operat- ed by private interests. He conceded that ship-to-shore wireless could be best operated as government monopoly. There is no reason why the goverhment cannot regulate rates and practices of wireless companies. Nally said and he contended that 1t-ivate ownership does not neces- sarily mean monopoly.
 The Alarconi sale of 5 shore sta ticns and 300 ship sets to the navy department "was not very voluntary" Nallv said. He added that the com pany's correspondence with the navy on this subject would be given to the committee later.
