the hint, and for long time the two enemies seemed to have forgotten one another. It was curiously enough to annoy the Hohenbzol1erns that the son of the dethroned King fell back upon his British title, through his descent from Ernest, the first Duke of Cumberland, one of the seven sons of George III.
 When the war commenced there was now onder in those in the know watched the Duke, and 1t is no exag- geration to say that they were amaz- ed when he pumped for Prussian- ism. The British Peer became one of the Get Strafe Englanders," and the man who had been befriended by Great Britain proclaimed aloud his hope that the empire might, be wiped out and the ex-Kaiser became the au- tocrat of Europe.
 The Duke of Brunswick is the Duke of Cumberland's son, Ernest Angus tus, who married the ex-Kaiser's S daughter, Princess Victoria-L Louise, 1913. He served with the ex-Kaiser's forces, and claims to have taken part Tn heavy fighting at Verdun. He has taken part in unnamed cruelties, and has revelled in these barbarities which brought so much discredit on the German name.

 The beaches and shore resorts psver looked better than they do this year. The contrast with the last few years during the war time Is very marked. This year everything is hustle and confidence. while before everything was very gloomy.

BERLIN STILL IN TERROR
SPARTACAN POLICE CHI E F is
BLAMED WITH TROUBLE.

London.-The elimination of Eichhorn,
the Spartacan police chief, whose refusal
to resign led to the present trouble in
Berlin, may be an accomplished fact. A
Zurich report received here says that he
has fled from Berlin, while a report from
Frankfort says that Herr Richler, mu-
nicipal councillor and majority So
cialist, has been appointed temporary
head of the Berlin police. Other reports
from Berlin say that the government
has been able to operate few trains on
the main railroad lines.
At a critical moment in the fighting
Thursday, according to Berlin advices by
way of Frankfort, the corps of repub-
lican guards which had been supporting
Eichhorn, the Spartacan police chief, de-
serted him. Fourteen companies, num-
bering 5000 men, placed themselves at
the disposal of the government, whose
troops then were pouring into the city
to the number of between 10000 and
10000, each carrying fifty rounds of ball
cartridges. The occupation of the of
fices of the Red Flag by the government
is greater blow to the Spartacans
than appeared on the surface

MANY POINTS YET TO BE SETTLED
BEFORE THE FINAL

Paris, Jan. ll.-It was learned today
that the extTadition OF the former
kaiser and the former crown prince viii
be the subject of general conference
and demands on that score will be in
corporated in the final terms. Proceed
inps against the former German emperor
are advised in special report by sub
committee OF the commission charged

Plans for tribunal which will try cases
in which violations are alleged already
have been submitted.
London.-NIcssages from Paris indicate
that Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George hive scored great success on
the question OF the freedom of the seas
and that very little is likely to be said
ON this subject when the actual peace
conference assemblies. The Spanish-Alor-
ocean question also has been settled to
the satisfaction of England and France.
Conversations which will lay
the foundation OF the actual peace con-
gress are about to start. Suggestions
have been made that the French and
American delegates go ahead while
awaiting the arrival of the British nleni-
potentiaries President Wilson, how
ever. vetoed that plan, holding that, in
asmueh as there already has been so
long a delay, it would be best to writ
a little longer to obtain the participation
OF the British.
The first few conferences between the
Americans, French and British probably
will develop just how much progress
may be expected before President Will
son goes home next month. Some diplo-
mats among the Americans here are
agreed that the most Mr.. Wilson can
hope to report at home probably will he
