THE NEUTRALS WANT A SAY

Paris, Jan. 20.--The decision re-
garding the league of nations will
be outlined and agreed to by the
belligerents alone, and 1t is evident
that this course is not entirely
agreeable to many of the neutrals
who feel that they should be con-
suited regarding the mater. These
are Informally exchanging views
among themselves as to where their
status will be in the league after It
is arranged and their rights in the
league. .
Whether any informal action is|
taken is not yet announced but ex-'
pressions are freely heard that It
will be neither fair or dignified to
be asked to subscribe to articles Of
agreement in which one has no part
in shaping.

PERMANENT PEACE
IS BRITAIN'S AIM
Terms Regarded as OOinciding In
Almost Every Detail With
Those of America.

Paris, Jan. 19.-Careful investi-
ration here has made 1t possible to
rive more concretely than previous
y an outline of the war claims Of
treat Britain, and her general de-
Tres regarding the making of peace.
The British aims, the unofficial
representation of them shows, are
regarded as in general coinciding
with those of the American delega-
ton at the Peace Conference. There
are some minor differences Of opin-
ion between Great Britain and
America regarding the final adjust
ment of the worlds affairs land
these differences remain to be re-
conciled. On the whole, however,
the aims of the two nations are con-
sidered by British commentators as
identical.
Great Britain believes, first 1t ia
declared in these sources, that a
League Of Nations is desirable and
attainable, and that none Of the
British war aims will be considered
practicable unless they conform
with the tenets of such league as
ia contemplated to realign and gov
ern the affairs of the universe. She
also believes that things should be
so adjusted that the war aims OF
every country will conform with
those of the others-in other words
that there should be compact OF
give and take.
Raid Damages; Payment for Ships
AS to indemnities, Great Britain
expects to enter a pool with Other
nations. Her claims are compare
lively small, it is said, but she
wants her air raid damage and hel
shipping losses paid for.
In addition to the League OF Ma
tions, one of the great things which
Great Britain hopes will grow ou'
of the Peace Conference, 1T is appa
rent, is a thoroughly good working
agreement with the United States
Great importance is attached to this
Great Britain 1T is declared b!
the interpreters of her views, ha'
no interest on the Continent O.
Europe other than that permanen
peace and justice be maintained
She thinks that the principle OF self
determination should have full pla!
and that freedom of transit, botf
by rail and waterways, should b'
kept up. She desires 1T is stated, tt
see countries such as Switzerland
have access to the sea, this not onl!
in the interest of the trade OF Grea
Britain, but of that of the world
and she holds that there are numer
Gus ports which should be made free
including Constantinople.

common law, because his will COM
manded by his hand did not exc
cute. They say that he was not the
principal offender and that there
fore he could only be punished as
an accomplice. An international
tribunal consequently must be
found. They consider the Hague
arbitration court founded at the
1899 conference incompetent to try
him, 40 the court was meant for
cases where no penalty is to be ap'
piled. They argue that an entirely
new jurisdiction must be created
which should be the first instrument
of a league Of nations and in which
should appear exclusively the states
which fought Germany.
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:
"It is anti-juridicial to assimilate
war with conspiracy. Crimes OF
war are crimes of public law and in
ternational law, not political cases. y
The authors Of the report COM
mence by establishing that no pen
atty is possible against nation any
more than against a company but
that the manager or director Of q
company can be punished. -.
"The Emperor in the first place,
says the report, "as King of Prus'
sia is president of the confederation
by virtue of a special law in which
human wild oes not enter. The
German sovereign depends only or
God and the sword. With such 8
conception Of power it would be un
judicial to the highest degree to al
low the Emperor to escape respon
sibility for his actions; his respon
sibility for the war for which, un
der the constitution, the decision be
longed to him alone; his RESPONSE
! bility for violation of Belgian neu
| trality which was willed by him
his responsibility for acts of terror
ism by his troops, which he willet
| and ordered"
The report quotes a letter from
| the former Emperor to the EmperoI
| of Austria in the early days of th'
war in which the German Empero'
wrote:
my soul is torn asunder, but ev
erything must be put to fire ant
blood. The throats of men and wo
men, children and the aged must b.
cut and not a tree nor q house lef
standing.
with such methods of terro
which alone can strike so degener
ating a people az the French, th'
war will finish before two months
while II I use humanitarian meth
DDS 1t may prolong for years. De
spite all my repugnance I have ha'

j The words II" and my" in tn
letter are italicised in the report
Modern law" the report continues

authorities even at the summit Q
