BERLIN, Feb. 6.--Germany will
resist to the uttermost the allied de-
mand for surrender OF Teuton war
guilty. according to statements OF
prominent leaders today.
"The whole government thinks and
acts as de-" Matthias Erzberger.
minister Of finance, told the United
Press. 1--WE are in complete agree
ment with the will Of our people,"
Erzberger added. Erzberger is cred
tied with being one Of the strong
men in the government who forced
Germany to sign the Versailles
treaty.
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg and
l General Erich Ludendorft, whose
names are prominent in the list Of
accused, both take the stand that no
officer shall surrender himself volun-
ltarily upon delivery or the demand,
the Lokal Anzeiger said
1t was denied officially that Ger
many will propose to the allies that
the war guilty be. tried before a
neutral court
Germany's only proposition will be
that the accused be tried before q
Teuton court at Leipsic with the
allied powers fully represented.
/, The entente list of accused will be
published Saturday or Sunday, &C.
cording to semiofficial information.
Government officials were in con-
slant conference today. Phil Scheide-
mann, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, had a long conference
with Hermann Mueller, minister Of
/ foreign affairs, and President Ebert.
The entente note covering the list
! of war guilty was expected to be de-
l1vered tonight or tomorrow either
through British or French charge
, d'affair.
Baron Won Lersner, former head Of
the German delegation in Paris, who
resigned rather than transmit the
list OF war guilty to Berlin, arrived
here today. The allied demand for
such men as Won Hmdenburg, Lud-
endorff and Mackensen, whom all the
fatherland loves and whose guiltless-
ness is without doubt, must be hind
cred at all COSTS" he declared.
! eff Germany delivers these leaders
she signs her own death warrant
Won Lersner continued "If she re-
fuses this shameful demand, then
her enemies again will have respect
for Germany"
The national union of officers, 1t
was announced, has pledged the lives
OF It's members in opposition to the
deliveries and called upon the nation
to stand firm"
II am entirely certain the allies
cannot get together in Germany any
government which can accomplish
the delivery Of the accused men, y
Count Won Bernstorff, former ambas-
sador to the United States told the
United Press. ~ believe you have
been long enough In Germany" he
said to the correspondent, that you
must realize nobody here even is
going to attempt to bring about their
surrender. It would be simply out
of the question to attempt to lay
hands on Won Hindenburg."
Bernstorff reiterated his willing

ness to surrender as far as he per-
sonally is concerned.
Characterizing the allies leaders
as handful of power blind poll
ticians," Count Monteglas said he no
longer felt bound to his previous offer
to surrender himself.
"f it were possible to increase the
folly in the world which for the last
eighteen months has been ruled by =

then it has been done in this delivery

mier's Russian policy by the chamber
