OPPOSED BY OUR DELEGATES
One OF Wilson's Fourteen Points Is
Clearly Violated In This Franco
Little Nation Agreement.

Paris.-The question OF whether the
peace conference is to be secret or
wholly open to the eyes and ears Of
the world, the settlement of which has
been long awaited. was brought to a
focus when Ii was announced an
agreement had been made to confine
the information given to the public to
daily official communique and that
gentleman's agreement prevailed
among the delegates not to discuss or
in any way give information of the
meetings in the foreign office.
The understanding is that the
American and British delegates op-
posed this decision.
The British newspaper correspond
ents Immediately Joined in a memo
rial OF protest, which they put before
Premier Lloyd George. The American
newspaper correspondents united in
what is virtually a round robin to
President Wilson. in which they pro-
tested in measured terms against the
decision. and reminded the President
that one Of his IA points which speci-
fies "open covenants of peace openly
arrived at"

Berlin.-Dr. Karl Lebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg have been killed.
When 1t became known that Doctor
Liebkneeckt and Rosa Luxemburg

In the meantime Dr. Liebknecht was
hurried into another automobile by
officers and troops and the car was
headed for the Moabit prison. While
going through the Tiergarten the ma

PRESS RELATIONS DELICATE
WITH THE PEACE CONFERENCE

Paris.-"The problems between the
peace delegates and the press, that Is
between the governments and public
opinion is made particularly delicate. /"
says The Temps, "by the following
considerations:
"On the one hand. equality of treat
ment for the press Of all countries
must be assured AS the United
States and Great Britain are reluctant
to impose restrictions on their news
papers. the only course Is to allow the
widest tolerance to all.
"On the other hand. 1t would be
harmful to lay bare to the enemy gov.
ernment differences OF opinion which
inevitably arise in discussions between
delegations. The very essence OF ev.
cry debate Is that contradictions
should arise. Such contradiction 8
will assuredly be reconciled. but II
would be very unfavorable IL Ger
many should know the details day by
day and seek to make capital out of
them"

THE DECISION OEFERS DEBATE
Military Committee Of Houes In Con-
ference With Baker and March
Practically In Agreement.

Washington.-The house military
committee practically reached an
agreement in conference with Secre-
tary Baker and General March, chief
OF staff, to postpone the war depart
ment reorganization bill until the next
session OF Congress and with 1t a
large part of the prospective debate
over the future military policy OF the
country.
A suggestion by Chairman Dent that
a legislative rider on the army appro-
priation bill continuing tho existing
war organization OF the department
and the Ngular army for another year,
a substitute for the reorganization
measure, met with the approval of
of Mr.. Baker and apparently with that
OF a majority OF the committee mem
bers.
The proposal grew out OF confer
ence at which Secretary Baker and
the chief Of staff explained the reor.
ganization measure framed by the de-
partment, providing for a regular
army Of 10000 men to bo raised by
voluntary enlistment on a fiat three
year basis. The bill also would have
made permanent the absolute control
exercised by the chief OF staff as a
wartime necessity.
Chairman Dent said 1t would be i'm
possible to get such bill through
Congress in the present session. Com.
mittee members agreed. pointing out
that the war department bill on its
face appeared 10 be military policy
measure which abandoned the theory
Of universal military obligation. Mr
Baker insisted that this was not the
case; that no attempt to fx the ma
hon's policy as to a peace time army
was involved.

KAISER LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR CRIMES OF WORLD WAR

Paris.-Some points in the reports
to which Mr.. Clemenceau referred,
when he sad he had consulted two
eminent jurists on the penal respon-
sibility OF the former German en-
peror, were made public The report
was drawn up by Ferdinand Lamaude,
dean OF the Paris law faculty, and Dr.
A. G. de Lapradelle, professor Of
rights Of nations in the same faculty.
The object of the inquiry was to
investigate from a purely judicial
point IL the crimes committed by the
German government and army in
volved the penal responsibility OF the
former German emperor what tri-
bunal should judge him and whether
his extradftion could be demanded.
The two French jurists prove that
the extradition OF the former German
ruler cannot be refused, as he Is not
a political refugee. The report says
1T is anu-judbcial to asaimilate
war with conspiracy. Crimes of war
are crimes OF public law and interna-
tional law. not political crimes"

that the statesmen of the principal

Gu a structure which will have the

1t is understood that the general

Such plan will delegate to various
commissions and committees detailed
problems which shall be reported
with recommendations to the league
itself. The probability OF such a plan
being adopted justifies previous fore
casts that the principal accomplish
ments OF the peace conference as 1t
now sits in Paris will be agreement
on broad general principles. leaving
