TAKE ME F YOU WANT \ VICTIM, CABLESFORMER
 GERMAN PRINCE
Ex-Heir Apparent States Willingness to Sta d Trial by Allies in Place of "the 900 Germans" in Plea to Wilson
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-President Wilson had before him tonight a per sonal cablegram from Frederick Will helm. former crown prince of Germany. suggesting If the allied and associated governments want a victim, let them take me instead of the 300 who have committed no other offenSe than that of serving their country il the war"
 What action the president might take on the message, which presumably was identical with that reported in Am sterdam dispatches as sent to the rui- CTS and presidents of other powers op- posed to Germany in the war, was not disclosed There was a suggestion at the White House that he might reply, making his message the vehicle for a expression of the opposition to trial of the German emperor or other enemy officials expressed by American dele gates at Paris. In some quarters. how ever. the opinion prevailed that he would not even acknowledge it's re- ceipt since. IL was pointed out the United States is not a party to the treaty or member of the league of nations and has no legal voice in any proceedings as to extradition of Ger man officials officers for trial. ITO President of the United States of
 North America:
 MT. Wilson,
 Washington, D. c.
 Mir. President:
 The demand for the delivery of Germans of every walk of life has again confronted my country, sorely tried by four years of war and one year of severe internal struggles with a crisis that is without a precedent in the history of the world affect ing the life of a people. That gov ernment can be found in Germany which would carry out the demanded surrender is out of the question, the consequences to Europe of an enforce ment Of the demand by violence are incalculabIe, hatred and revenge would be made eternal.
 As the former successor to the throne of my fatherland, I am willing at this fateful hour 10 stand up for my compatrioits. If the allied and as- sociated governments want victim let them take me instead of the 900 Germans who have committed no of fense other than that of serving their country in the war.

TRepubrican A. p. Leased Wirel


 LONDON, Feb. 10.-The speeches with which the new session of the house of commons was launched today do not make much history. Premier Lloyd George, William AdamSon and Sir Donald MacLean spoke for the government, laborites and liberals re- spectively.. No notable Irish voice was heard, although Ireland was the sub ject of all of the speeches.
 The premier gave a long explanation of the governments policy, but re- fused to be drawn out by the other speakers on the topic of revision of certain workable" features of the peace treaty.
 Dealing with the burning question of economy. the premier recommended the familiar specific of increasing pro- duction. His remarks on Ireland gave no new information regarding the measure which is soon to be intro duced.
 Colonel Sidney Peel. coalition union ist, who made the reply to the address from the throne, said:
 .It will be a grievous disappointment to us if the United States finds itself unable to take part in the work of reconstruction. But she must be mas ter of her own house, as we are in ours"
 Sir Donald MacLean, urging revi- sion of the peace treaty, said:
 @One of the essentials of the guar antee was the fact, when the opposi tion agreed to it. that the signature of the president of the United States was appended. It does not now look as though this is going to be hon. ored."
 q only hope I am wrong,' he added as MT Lloyd George indicated his dis sent.
 The American ambassado John w Davis. and the Canadian premier. Sir Robert L. Borden, were among those in the galleries.

Say Thousands May Quit Jobs To Force Issue

DETROIT. Feb. 1O.-F'ailure of the railroad unions and Director General Hines to reach an agreement at the Washington conference may result in a general walkout Of railway workers, according to Allen E. Barker, president of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employees and railway shop labor CTS who yesterday called strike of his union for February r.
 A message received at headquarters here late today. MT. Barker stated to- night. indicated that heads of F rail- road mems organizations now in Wash ington would stand pat and act as d unit" in pressing their wage de mands.
 It is my belief. he said. that even should officers of other unions not call strikes many thousands of railroa d men in other departments will join hands with the maintenance of way ana shop laborers-"
 Plan Fight to End
 He reiterated his statement that the resources of the union would be used in fighting any possible court action to prevent the strike His comment on word from Kansas that officials there planned to invoke the new individual court act was:
 They will need a lot of jails. I be- heve the law is unconstitutional We shall disregard any power that tells us we are not free to strike.
 Meanwhile plans were going ahead for putting the strike into effect ss sending out the call it was found the union numbers 3S7,0oo members, and all but 2s.O00, employed on Canadian roads, it was stated, are affected. Nu- merouS messages were received at headquarters during the day, officers stated, asking whether protection would be afforded by the union to non organ ize0 crafts which wished to join the walkout. The reply to these queries was not made public.
 Stationary Engineers Not Affected
 ST. JOSEPH. Mo-. Feb. 10.-Sta- tionary engineers and firemen are nos affected by the strike call at Detroit of the United Brotherhood of Mainte- nance of Way employees, as had been reported. according to statement to- night by Clarence Floyd, secretary of the local branch of the International Brotherhood of Bremen and Oilers.
 Mir. Floyd asserted that the station ary firemen and engineers are not af filiated with the maintenance of way brotherhood, and consequently would not be included in strike call.

France and which, he said, he warned his visitors not to believe. He denied flatly other statements attributed to him by Representative Byrnes, said to belittle the part of the American navy in the war. and asserted he had not told Byrnes and his associates that the American merchant marine should not be developed and the seas be left to Great Britain.
 At the request of Senator Pittman of Nevada, democratic member of the Investigating committee, Chairman Hale asked Representatives Byrnes and Whaley and Senator Glass to come before the committee. Representative Byrnes, the first of the three to be heard, not only reiterated all he had previously said, but added that he had personally reported his conversation with Admiral Sims to President Will son before Mr. Wilson made his first trip to Paris. Byrnes added that he had not reported also to Secretary Daniels, because since the war was over he did not wish to "stir any thing up."
 Glass Gives Different View
 Senator Glass, who was a member of the lower house at the time, while recalling the conversation with Ad- miral Sims. much as Byrnes reported it, put a somewhat different interpre- tation on what the officer had said. He did not understand Admiral Sims to wish to "discredit the army he said, adding
 "I rather believed that he was sim ply telling us what he had heard and thought to be true"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Present excessive and onerous" second class mail rates were blamed as the major cause for suspension of 2,50o news papers since July l, 1918, by Victor Rosewater, of Omaha Neb., appear ing today before the house postoffice committee as spokesman for the American Newspaper Publishers as- sociation. He urged reduction of existing mail charges and a congress ional inquiry into the cost off mail service for publications.
 Estimates that the government lost 76,000, 900 a year on the old rate were challenged by Mr. Rosewater, who said the loss was purely a bookkeep- ing figure that includes e5S,0O0, 900 lost on rural flee delivery
 Some papers that pay practically no postage are in favor of letting the law stand" said Mir. Rosewater. He added that he believed approval of some small publishers was due to fears that if the present law were dis carded the publications rate would be made four cents a pound The West ern Newspaper Union and the Ameri- can Press association. he said, has en- couraged such belief
