BETHMANN HOLLWEG
UNOPPOSED BY GERMANS
Former Chancellor Made a Simila..
Offer to Surrender to AL
lies Last May.

BERLIN. June 80 tby the Associ-
ated Press DR. Theobald Won Beth
mann Hollweg. former German chan
cellor offered on May 20. 1919, to sur
render himself for trial by the allies
but withdrew the offer on the specific
request of the government. which at
that time took the view that Ger
mans accused Of causing the war or
OF acts in violation of the rules of
civilized warfare should be tried
either before local court or Ger
man judges. His attitude at that
time therefore was held to be unde-
srable.
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 former chancellor in offering to
surrender to the allies is looked upon
as purely personal. The government
does not object to his action. as it Is
believed that he is one Of those whom
the entente intends to bring before
the high tribunal.
