KAISER IS
 FOUND TO
 BE GUILTY
Eminent French Jurists Re.
 port to Clemenceau-Hol-
 land Must Not Refuse Ex- tradition-In Letter Ruler Assumed Personal Role
Republican A. F. Leased WireJ

 PARIS, Jan. 19.-Some points in the report to which Premier Clemepceau referred yesterday, when he said he had consulted two eminent jurists on the penal responsibility of the former German emperor, were made public to- day. The report was drawn up by Ferdinand Larnaude, dean of the Paris law faculty and pr. A. G. de Ia Pra- delle, professor of rights of, nations, in the same faculty.
 The object of the inquiry was to investigate, from purely jurisdiction al point of view, if the crimes com. nitted by the German government and army, involved the penal responsibility of the former German emperor, what tribunal should judge him and whether his extradition could be demanded.
 May Be Extradited
 The two French iurists prove that the extraditon of the former German ruler cannot be refused, as he IS not political refugee. The report says:
 1t IS anti -juridical to assimilate war with conspiracy. Crimes of war are crimes of public law and interna- tionaI law, not political crimes"
 The authors of the report commence by establishing that no penalty is pos- sbIe against a nation, any more than against a company, but that the man ager or director of a company can be ! punished.
 ] "The emperor, in the first place." i says the report, "as king of Prussia, IS 1 president of the federation, by virtue i of special law, in which human will does not enter. The German sovereign depends only on God and the sword. With such a conception of power, it would be unjuridicial to the highest degree, to allow the emperor to escape responsibility for his actions; his re- 1 sponsibility for the war for which, un der the constitution, the decsion be- longed to him alone; his responsibility i for violation of Belgian neutrality which was willed by him; his respon- sibility for acts of terrorism by his troops, which he wilIed and ordered"
 Assumes Personal Role
 The report quotes letter from the former emperor to the emperor of Austria, in the ealy days of the war, m which the German emperor wrote:
 My soul is torn asunder, but every thing must be put to fire and blood. The threats of men and women, child ren and the aged, must be cut and not a trace nor house left standing.
 With such methods of terror, which alone can strike so degenerate people as the French, the war will be finished before two months, while if use humanitarian methods, it may prolong for years. Despite all my repuenance. have had to choose the first system
 The words a" and "my" in the Iet- ter are italicized in the report.
 Irresponsible Authority
 "Modern law" the report continues, "does not recognize irresponsible au- thorities, even at the summit of hier- archy. 1t brings state down from its pedestal and makes it submit to the rule of the judge.
 "There can, therefore, be no question of saving from the judge a man who is at the summit or hierarchy, either by the application of internal law or of international law

Virtual State of Sieqe

BERLIN, Saturday. Jan. 1S.-(By the Associated Press).-Although a state of siege has not been formally declared, a situation amounting vir- tually to a state of siege exists in Der lin. The government has taken all military measures needful to protect the voters and safeguard the elections.
 If any of the 500 polling places in Berlin are compelled to close as a re- suit of interference, it is planned to repeat the election, eight days hence, under reinforced military protection. As the system of proportional election has been adopted, the counting of the ballots will occupy nearly week.
 lsace-Lorraine will not participate, but elections in German territory, in Posen now occupied by Poles, will be held, if necessary, under the protec- tion of troops.

UNITED POLAND .|S ACCONP P[|SHED
 PEOPLE ARE GLAD

WARSAW, Saturday, Jan. 1S.-(By the Associated Press) United Poland appears today a new country, with every mind turned to the future and trying to forget the past. It is as if the people had come out of a night mare. Now they are smiling and the business men are beginning to make plans for the boom they are sure is ahead. They realize that Poland has, through the allied victory been given the priceless boon of liberty, and that they will soon be able to enjoy it's benefits. despite the many difficulties yet to be faced this winter.
 One of the most significant facts is that the prices of commodities are be- ginning to drop. just as they did in Prague last November. with the in auguration of the CZecho- Slovak gov ernment. Subscriptions to the new government loan amounted to 7,000,00O marks, the first day of the canvass, and are mounting hourly.
 Even those parties which have not been entirely cemented by the efforts of Ignace Jan Paderewski, premier and foreign minister, in the new coalition cabinet, who has appealed to his coun trymen to be Poles first and party
 
 their old differences. As an instance teh conservative parties of the three Polands met today and agreed to pull together.
 Considerable credit is being given tc former Premier Mora czewski, who on the arrival Of M. Paderewski from America stated that he was willing tc retire. as he felt that the latter was able to organize a common front against the bolsheviki, within ant without the country. and also to get help from the allies and especially tho United States.
 NJ. Paderewsl1i realizes better thar any one else here, that the United States will prove the best help to new Poland. Regarding Colonel Edward M. House. whom he knows we'll NJ Paderewski has said at a public meet. ing: "A monument should be bull in every Polish town and village tt Colonel House"
 M. Paderewski is sending notice to- day of the formation of the ministry t the allies and to the state departmen at Washington.

NHVHai7 3ItI0 - Practical League Believed to Have Been WorkedOut Disarmament Not to be Required Until Working Success of Plan Developed Publication of De- tails Is Expected Very Soon.

PARIS, Jan. 19.-(By the Associated PresS)-Callers at the Paris white house today were Senator Leon Bour- geois, the league of nations specialist on the French peace delegation; Lord Robert Cecil, who occupies a similar position for the British, and General Jan Christian Shuts, the South Afri- can leader, Nho also has a plan for q society of nations.
 President Wilson thus had an op- portunity to discuss the French and British viewpoints on this question and to get further ahead with the work of reconciling the different projects with his own ideas.
 The plans for a league of nations have been reduced to very definite form. The general indications are that the statesmen of the principal nations are steadily drawing together on a structure which will have the support of all, the informal discussions having brought the community of ideas to & point where it may reasonably be eX- pected soon to appear on paper.
 It is understood that the general plan, which is now most approved by all the parties concerned, rejects the theory of the super sovereignty of an international police force.
 It also contemplates the working out, as the development of the league progresses, of the most delicate ques- tion of all-disarmament- par ticularly affects the British navy. The same principle it is proposed, shall ap- ply to the other nations associated ir the war against Germany.
 The idea is founded on the argument that no nation would dispose of instru- ments by which it expects to defend itself, until it has been demonstrated that the forces proposed as a substitute will be efficient.
 In the opinion of international law. yers, such decisions will remove iron actual settlement, by the peace con ference, at this sitting, at least many questions on which complete agree ment might not be expected now, bu upon which full accord seems prob able as the development of the plan l for a league of nations advances. 1 Such a plan will delegate to variou commissions and committees detaile, 1 problems which shall be reported wit
 recommendations to the league itself l The probability of such a plan bein | adopted justifies previous forecast ! that the principal accomplishments c 1 the eace conference, as it now sits i | Paris. will be agreement on broad
 general principles. leaving the detail
 to be applied in accord herewith, an
 the making of a preliminary peac
 which will return the world, at tn
