EXTRADITION
"IGNOMINY"
Field Marshal Won BueIoW De-
CIareS No German Can VOL
unfairly Submit to Allies.

Berlin, Feb. 6.-Field Marshal Won
Buelow told the Lokal Anzeiger today
that Germans whose names are on
the list of those whose eXtradition
is demanded by the allies "only did
their duty to the fatherland" and that
extradition was ignominy to which
mo German could voluntarily sub
nit"
The field marshal declared he
vo d never place himself at the dis
posal of the entente nations and ex-
pressed the belief that most of the
commanders named in the allied list
would take the same view.
Seeking Way Out.
Premier Bauer, In conference with
party leaders Saturday, will probably
determine whether the national as
sembly will be called to consider the
extradition situation.
Persons well informed deny the
existence of a governmental crisis
and the Prussian cabinet has unani-
mously indorsed the national cabi-
nets attitude, which is unaltered.
This may be regarded as symptom
of the spirit in which the entente
demands are being met, all promi-
nent politicians condemning the al
lied edct.
A member of the government is
quoted by the press as saying: 1.-THE
government is still endeavoring to
find a way out by further negotia-
TONS
1t is believed the government will
attempt to obtain a modification of
the peace treaty respecting extradi-
ton. If it Is unsuccessful it will, so
to speak, fold it's arms and let events
take their own course, according to
prevalent opinion. Already 1t Is re-
ported the German airmen de@iled
to accompany the ententl committee
their duties.
Why Grand Duke of Hesse?
A scrutiny of the extradition list
shows Belgium and France have de-
manded the surrender of all the Ger
man generals who commanded on
the west front in 1914 except Gen.
Won. Heeringen. Why the Grand
Duke of Hesse is listed is mys-
terry, says the Tageblatt, as he only
once visited the front.
The Hague, Feb. 6.-Virtually with
out exception the Dutch press char
acterizes the allied demand for the
surrender of German war criminals
as being impossible"
Swiss TO Follow Example.
Geneva, Feb. 6.-Swiss federal au-
thorities, it is reported. will follow
the precedent set by Holland in deal
ing with demands from the allies for
the eXtradition of Germans who are
in this country. Former Grown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria, as well as sew
eral minor officers on the extradition
list, are now in Switzerland.
Paris, Feb. Reconsideration of the
new note to be sent to Germany as
a result of the failure of her repre-
sentative here to transmit the list of
accused Germans demanded for ex-
tradition by the allies was deferred
by the council of ambassadors today
until evening because Lord Birken-
head, the British lord high commits
sioner, and Sir John Hewart, the
attorney general, were delayed in
their journey from London
London, Feb. "a Berlin dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph company
quote; the Berlin Tages Zeitung as
saying the German government must
resign, while the Allgemeine Zeitung
Is said assert the question of ex-
traditing Germans accused Of viola
tions of the laws of war is for the
whole country to decide so that the
German states may determine
whether the" are willing to be the
victims of an invasion"
