drew the offer on the specific request
of the government, which at that
time took the view that the German
accused Of causing the war or Of acts
in violation Of the rules of civilized
war-ware should be tried either be-
fore a local court or German judges.
His attitude at that time, therefore,
was held to be undesirable.
Now, however, after peace has
been signed and the Germans have
agreed to extradite persons whom
the allies desire to place on trial, the
action of the forme chancellor in Of
fering to surrender 10 the allies rs
looked upon as purely personal. The

action as it is believed that he is one
of those whom the entente intends
to bring before the high tribunal.
