HUN ASSEMBLY.
MAY CONSIDER
ALLIED DEMAND.
Cabinet Considers ADVISABLE
y Of Submitting Names Of
Surrender Victims Before
National Chamber.

Berlin. Feb. 9,-Decision as to
whether the German national assem-
bly, will be called to consider Ger
mGny's answer to the allied demand
for the extradition of Germans accused
of violations of the laws of war is ex-
pected soon. The cabinet met yester-
day and considered the list Of men
whose surrender Is desired and the al
lie i covering note.
The allied powers demand access to
Iarchives and possession OF all German
documentary evidence, so that prose-
Ieution may be facilitated. The cover
ling note Is understood 10 declare the
allies do not purpose to grant amnesty
to men not named In the list but will
reserve the right to prosecute them
should they be apprehended on entente
soil.
Allied Reply Waited.
1t seems improbable that reply to
the entente demand for the surrender
of the Germans whose names are con-
tained in the list will be sent until a
response is received by the German
government to its note OF January rs.
lin this note asked the allies to re-
nounce the execution Of the extradition
article of the peace treaty, the alterna-
tive proposed being a trial OF the per-
sons involved to be held in Germany
with the participation OF allied repre-
sentatives.)
The newspapers declare unanimous
~ that the attitude Of the government
toward the cxtradltion question Is un-
changed.
The association Of German regular
soldiers carried out big demonstra-
tion here yesterday against acceptance
OF the extradition demand. Similar
demonstrations were held In the pro-
vices.
