Paris Jurist Says Article in
Hague Peace Convention
Gives Jurisdiction.

PARIS, Jan. 21.-Long discussions
concerning the responsibility of former
Emperor William and other prominent
Germans for crimes committed in the
prosecution of the war appear in the
newspapers. The Matin says that as
regards the crimes committed against
France, the facts already have been es-
tablished by q careful inquiry which
has virtually been completed. 1t says
ly hold that William Hohenzollern can
be prosecuted under article So of The
Hague convention which lays down
rules for warfare on land, The jurists
are Of the opinion that the punishment
must be inflicted on those who issued
the orders rather than on the sub
ordinates who carried them out.
The Journal calls attention to the fact
that there Is available to the peace
| conference a committee on juriSdiClal
consultations to which the opinions Of
the delegates regarding the responsible
ity of william HOhenzollern probably
will be referred. This committee could
then present plans for a formal in
| quiry to the conference, which If it
agrees with the committee can issue q
formal indictment.
To obtain the release of the former
emperor, the paper adds, a demand can
be made on Holland by the nations
about to form a league Of nations.
The demand will not be for the ex-
tradition. of the former emperor, but
for his surrender. The paper says It is
the opinion of leading jurists that Hol-
land, which will also form a part Of the
league, can not evade the duty of sur
rendering the former emperor to the
other nations in the league In order that
he may be brought up for trial.

Phone RATES CUT
BYNEW SCHEDULE
Equalization of Long Distance
Charges Causes Some
Increases.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-New toll
and long distance telephone rates APP
proved by POStmasteT-GeneTal BurleSOn
became effective at midnight except in
those states where temporary restrain
ing orders against the companies have
been issued by the courts, This an
nouncement was made last night by
W. H. Lamar. solicitor Of the postoftice
department, and a member Of the fed
eral wire control committee.
Mr. Lamar had said during the day
the rates became effective despite et-
forts Of state regulatory bodies to sus-
pend or modify them. So far as the
postoffiCe department had been advised,
he said, restraining orders have been
Issued In only two states-lndiana and
Mississippi, He said he had not been
Informed that the courts In Illinois had
taken similar action.
The federal court at Pensacola, Fla,
IL the only court In the United states
that has held fun hearings and rendered
a decision on an application for an In
junction, Mr.. Lamar said, and its de-
Cision denied the restraining order. He
added that h court at Lincoln, Neb,
also had held a hearing, but has not yet
rendered a decision.
Under the new rates as by
Mr.. Burleson there is a basic charge OF
Ga mills a mile airline mileage, with
half the day rate for night service up
to midnight, and one-fourth of the day
rate between that hour and 4;30 O'Clock
in the morning.
The new charges were recommended
in the first report of the committee on
rate Standardization and Mr., Burleson
said their effect was to equaliLe the toll
and long distance charges over thu
country. In many instances rates II
| certain localities were increased and
| this fact led to efforts Of some state
| regulatory bodies to prevent the new
schedule from being put into effect
Generally, however, there was a reduc-
ton in rates, according to the post
master general.
