Offers Himself for Trial Before Allies
Court in place of 900 Demanded
by Entente OF Germany
Feats Eternal Hatred.

Washington, Feb 11.-FrederlcK
William Hohenzollern, former crown
prince of Germany, in cablegram re-
ceived by President Wilson, offers TO
surrender himself for trial by the al
lied governments in place OF the ap-
proximately 900 Germans whose extra
dition has been demanded.
His message was sent from Wierln-

grams are understood to have been
sent to the kings of Great Britain, Bel
GUM and Italy. the emperor OF Japan
and the president of France.
Message From crown Prince.
The message to President Wilson is
as follows:
'To the President Of the United
States of North America-Mr. Wilson,
Washington:
"Mr. President: The demand for
the delivery of Germans of every walk
of life has again confronted my coun-
try, sorely tried by four years OF war
and one year of severe internal strug-
giles, with a crisis that is without a
precedent in the history of the world
as affecting the life of people. That
a government can be found in Ger
many which would carry out the de-
manded surrender is out of the ques-
ton; the consequences to Europe of
an enforcement of the demand by VIC
Ience are incalculable, hatred and re-
venge would be made eternal.
"As the former successor to the
throne of my fatherland, I am willing
at this fateful hour to stand up for
my compatriOts If the allied and as
ISOLATED governments want victim
let them take me instead Of the 900
Germans who have committed no of
Tense other than that Of serving their
country in the war.

BRING BODIES
OF $4,000 men
FROM FRANCE

Washington, March 12.-The bod
les of about $4,000 of the American
dead in France will be returned to
the United States, while between
10000 and $4,000 will remain per-
manently inferred overseas. Secre-
tary Baker today informed Chair
man Wadsworth of the senate mill
tary committee.
The secretary, who wrote in re-
sponse to senate resolution, esti-
mated the cost of returning and
concentrating the bodies remaining
in cemeteries overseas at S30,000,-
600.
Congestion Of the French trans
portation systems and shortage of
materials used in the manufacture
of collins is handicapping the work
Mr.. Baker said.
While Ill bodies of American
dead have been returned from
Archangel, Secretary Baker said
the same number still remained in
northern Russia and that it was
improbable that anything could be
done toward their removal for a
year.
Evacuation of bodies in England
is progressing, he added, while mi
TALLY all the bodies have been con.
centrated ready for return to this

one of the defendants, was one o1
the physicians who attended kine

GERMAN NOTE
DEMANDS THAT
ALLIES RECEDE

Berlin, March 1.-THE German
charge d'affaires In London has
handed to Premier Lloyd George a
note regarding the entente extra
dition list, it was announced today.
After asserting that the imperial
court will be guided only by con-
siderations of justice and will con-
duct an impartial inquiry, the note
demands that the arrest Of Ger
mans in the occupied territories on
charges similar to those enumerat-
ed in the extradition list, shall
cease and that those arrested shall
be delivered to German courts.
Demand Dropping Case.
The release of Germans who fol-
similar reasons have been detained
in war prison camps also is asket
for. The note finally demands thai
the allies abandon the reservation
regarding their right to try fol
crimes committed during the wal
any Germans not mentioned in the
list if encountered on allied terri
tory, saying that incidents arising
out Of the war should be consigned
to oblivion with the advent n'

ROADS MUDDY;

Method Employed for
First Time By Mclean
County Sheriff.

Bloomington, ILL.,. March r.
Sheriff Ralph Spafford of Mclean
county, in order to serve prospec-
tive jurymen for duty in the trial
Of Edgar A. Strauss, charged with
the murder of Berne NJ. Meade. has
sworn in Lieutenant Lyle d. Bal
bach of Chenoa, as deputy sheriff.
The latter will use his airplane to
get to remote places in the county
to serve summons on men whose
names have been drawn for service
in this trial. An unusually large
venire has been ordered.
The country roads are in very
muddy condition, making it almost
impossible to get over them with
automobile or horse and buggy,
hence the modern method of travel
has been brought into use. 1t is
believed this is the first time in the
history of the United States that an
airplane has been used for this
purpose. Lieutenant Balbach was
an instructor in southern camps
during the war.

HOPEFUL OF
UP
DIFFERENCES
Coal Commission Reports
Withheld Pending
Wilson's Effort.

Washington, March f2.-An effort
to compose the differences between
the majority and minority Of the
bituminous coal strike commission
will be made by President Wilson,
it was announced today at the
White house.
Officials said that neither the
majority nor minority report would
be made public if there was a prob
ability of bringing the members of
the commission to an agreement on
their principal differences - the
amount Of the wage advance and
the hours of work.
White for 7-H0ur Day.
John P. Whites minority report
on the strike settlement was to be
submitted today to President Will
son. Meantime, the president was
studying the majority report, CON-
pleted yesterday.
Mr.. White, the miners represent
ative on the commission, refused to
discuss his recommendations, but
it was understood that he had held
for an increase in wages of ap-
proximately IS per cent and for a
7-hour day. The majority, Henry
M. Robinson, representing the pub
lie, and Rembrandt Peale, the cper-
ators' representative, recommended
wage advance of approximately
Is per cent and no changes in hours
opd opp1 itiOpc 'of uork
Officials said today that John p
White, the miners representative,
had held out for a six-hour day
throughout the negotiations be-
tween the commissioners, in an af-
fort to reach a unanimous agree
ment. The miners originally de-
manded a six-hour day and five
days a week.
Lewis is Silent.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
who hurried here last night from
New York, where he has been at
tending the anthracite wage confer
ence, conferred today with Mr..
White and William Green. secre-
, tary Of the miners union, familiar
izing himself with the facts. He
still declined to make any state
ment, but it was expected that the
full executive committee of the
miners would be summoned TO con-
slider the future action of tie work
| ers.
Basis For Agreement.
| While the commission failed to
reach unanimous decision, asked
for by the president, it was said
today that it's labors mad not been
in vain, and officials generally be-
lieved that the two conflicting re-
ports could be used as basis fol
an amicable agreement between The
operators and miners.
Secretary Green said lhe majority
and Mr.. White were not far apart
on the matter of wages and he was
hopeful that the differences could
be smoothed out in direct confer
ences. The failure Of the majority
to recommend improved working
conditions proved disappointment,
to the miners, it was said, as this
had been one of the chief demands
of the men.

More Going Out Than

New York. March 12.-Prohibi-
ton is causing so many foreign
born to leave the United States
that emigration is exceeding immi-
grafton, according to Congressman
Isaac Siegel, a member Of the
house immigration committee.
Ellis Island records show to date
that immigration since Jan. I, to-
tailed $4,000, while $1,000 persons
lett the country. Most Of the latter
have gone back to Poland and
Czechoslovakia to stay.
While desire to live in a rejuve-
mated homeland is a factor in emi-
grafton, Mr.. Siebel believes that
prohibition is the principal reason.
Inability to buy beer or wine, he
says, has created considerable ill
feeling among foreign born resi-
dents, particularly in mining dis
tricts.

ton each druggist may sell 100
gallons of whisky, wine or gin each
month. There are 1900 druggists
in Chicago.
Major A. V. Dalrymple, prohibi-
ton enforcement officer for the

now is over-drinking its allot-
ment-" He said druggists are sell
ing as much as 200 cases of whisky
each per week and there is an ex-

Washington. March IA mis-
conception Of the problems of de-
Tending the American coast from
submarine raids was partially re-
sponsible for the failure of the
navy department to act on repeat
ed recommendations as to opera
tions abroad during the early
months of the war, the senate in
vestigating committee was told to-
day by Rear Admiral Sims.
Agreed with Allies.
The officer said that during the
first six months Of the war he was
told repeatedly that operations
abroad would be dependent upon
what could be spared from the ad-
eouate defense of home waters.
The policy was adhered to. he said
despite his efforts to convince offi-
cials in Washington that it was the
consensus of allied naval opinion
as we'll as his own. that the best
defense for the American coast lay
in offensive operations against sub
marines in the eastern Atlantic.
Warned Of Coming.
The correspondence read by the
admiral disclosed the high degree
of efficiency attained by the alliet
system of discovering the move
ment OF enemy submarines. Hi!

LEFT HIS $5OO,OOO
ESTATE TO WIDOW

Chicago, March 12.-The will OF
Captain Clifford Bleyer, who, with
Mrs. Ruth Randall, was found shot
to death in her apartment last Mon
day night. bequeathed all his prop
erty to his widow and two children.
Experts estimated the value of the
estate at $5OO,O00. The will, which
contained fewer than 100 words
was written on a piece of plain
white paper.
The widow also will receive in
surance to the amount of $4,000
Whether she will receive an acci-
dent policy of $4,000, depends upon
the verdict of a coroner's jury
which will decide whether Bleyel
was killed by Mrs. Randall
