Decision Not Altered.

Berlin, Monday, Feb. 9.-Decision
was reached by the committee on ror-
eign relations Of the national assembly
today to support the governments
stand in declaring the ethical and pa
triotic indignation of the German peo-
pie at the allied demand for extradf-
|tlen measures have been made physi-
cally impossible and would produce in
ternal insurrection."
Independent socialist members re-
fused to subscribe to this declaration.
The government has decided to sub
nit the official evtradition list to the
first attorney general at Leipzig with
instructions to investigate the offenses
listed and determine whether the
charges made by the allies can be pun-
ished under the aerman criminal or
civil codes. He viii also be asked to
determine to what extent these charges
trespass upon the rules of warfare.
Charges Must Be Specific.
Only cases where specific charges
have been filed in the allies list will
be considered by the government. For
instance, members of the cabinet are
convinced trial Of DR.. Theobald Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, for the violation
of Belgian sovereignty and the depor-
tation of her civilians would be wholly
infesible because these were military
measures for which he was not respon-
sible. Wholesale blanket indictments
such as were filed by Poland, it is
stated, also fall to afford tangible
basis OF procedure.

The volume OF paper money IN tho

chief considerati ons in the fixing Of
zones and eventually steps would be
taken to prevent individual trespassing
on zones set aside for certain purposes
In the case of indianapolis railroad
facilities would govern chiefly in the
selection of factory zones. Sub-busineSs
centers would be determined by needs
Of communities and residential zones

the natural beauties OF various districts
Boulevards and parks would have proml-
nent places in the plan.
