EBERT DEMANDS CHANGE
IN ALLIED DEMANDS.

President Ebert has sent a letter to
Premier Clemenceau asking for a revi-
sion Of the peace treaty terms regard
ing the extradition of William and
threatening to retire from the presidency
of Germany If the allies persist ruth
iessly" in carrying out their demands,
according to information from a cofiden-
tial but well-informed source This let
ter is said to have been dispatched on
Friday.
Germany already has received a list
Of names Of persons whom the allies seek
to extradite for trial. The last, which
came through neutral diplomatic sources,
contains the names Of 800 persons, in
cluding 800 private soldiers.
Socialist leaders, for political reasons,
have willingly discussed the delivery of
officers Of the old regime for trial. but
the discovery that some of the 300 were
socialists themselves proved a bomb
shell.
President Ebert is said to have in
formed Premier Clemenceau that the
German government could not attempt to
carry out the delivery all the persons
wanted.

KAISER HIRES
BEST LAWYER
IN GERMANY
Johannes Kriege of World
Wide Repute Takes Case if
Extradition Wins.
HOPE TO FOIL ALLIES

Copyright, 1920, by International News
Service.
BERLIN Jan. 5-Gemany's greatest
International lawyer, Johannes w.
Kriege, doctor of Jurisprudence, has been
selected to-lead the counsel for the de-
Tense of William HOhenlollern, the
former kaiser, If extradited f-om Holland
and placed on trial before an interna-
tional tribunal.
DR.. Kriege was said today by royalists
to be in close touch with the former en-
peror at Amorengen.
The monarchists seek to give the i'm
preston that the former kaiser is not
thinking OF the possibility of being tried
and has taken the attitude that "he will
not cross the bridge until he comes to
it." Nevertheless, it was learned from an
authentic source that DR.. Kriege is al
ready advising the former emperor as to
his defense in the event that Holland
will give him up.
The lawyer bears the title of actual
private counsellor" 10 the former kaiser
For years he was the close personal
friend of William and often gave him
advice before the collapse of Germany
WAS CHIEF OF FOREIGN
OFFICE OF KAISER.
Under the old regime DIR. Kriege was
chief of the legal section of the Berlin
foreign office. He drew up the German
legal documents at the outbreak Of the
war and also wrote the Brest- Litovsk
treaty which Germany and the Russian
holshevik government signed after the
soviet came into power with the fail of
Kerensky.
Just how far the plans for the de-
ferse have proceeded is being kept Sc
cret and Dr. Kriege refuses to discuss
them.
1t is believed that, If the extradition
succeeds, DR.. Kriege will be assisted by
an imposing array of counsel. 1t is
probable that lawyers from some other
countries that were neutral during the
war will be called in not only for their
legal knowledge but for the moral sup
port that their presence would lend. 1t
has been suggested that prominent legal
lights of the Dutch and Swiss bars might
be asked to assist.

CHRYSLER COMPANY TO
 APPOINT OWN DEALERS

It has been generally assumed that
 the new Chrysler car, when manufac-
 tured. would be sold through the
 Willys Overland sales organization
 Overland distributors handling the
 product. This assumption has been
 rudely shattered by the announcement
 of the incorporation of the Chrysler
 Motor company to take over the sale
 of the new car and to establish a
 distributor and dealer organization on
 an independent basis General safes
 offices have been opened at the home
 plant in Elizabeth, N. J., and the or
 sanizatiop which will handle tie dis
 tribution of the five to six hundred
 cars per day production to be built by the Chrysler plant, is rapidly as- suming definite shape.
 Although 1t will be well along in the spring before the big factory will be producing cars. territorial applics tons are being received, and it is cX- pected that by January the new sales plans will take form and distributor appointments be arranged in some of the larger cities, where the first of the Chrysler product will be shown The plant, which is being formu- lated by E. B. Wilson, general sales manager of the Chrysler motor divi- sion, Willys corporation, contemplates the eSLdOilSHIHeHL ol ulslfiDuttlS points ! to keep pace with production rather than a general distribution of sample cars over a wide area of territory with a resultant wait for the delivery of cars in appreciable quantities. policy that will no doubt make q dis tinct appear to the trade. With large production the whole country will soon be covered, although it will mean a lapse of some months from first production before general distribution l is effected.

AUTO HELPS THEM
 TOLNE WAY OUT"
Many More Homes In Suburbs Result of Motors
 Cars

More homes were built in the suburbs of big cities of the United States during the last 10 months than in any like period, and this despite the excessive cost of everything per- taining to construction says Earl Mcclure of the Mcclure Motor com pany.
 "Of course the inability to rant in the city except at a staggering rate accounted for this, as people must live. But the automobile is responsible for many going the distance they have, Without it they would have had to stick to the communities reached by electric and steam lines, or made the best of bad job and stayed in the city.
 Among those who have moved into the ~open air districts are many who own Dort cars. They figured costs very carefully at first, and after find ing that interest on their homes would be far less than rent in the city they took into consideration the cost of transportation. Dort owners found the balance in their favor and none of them is dissatisfied with the change which gives them comparative freedom and in view of the swiftness and certainty of their care does not mean any more time spent in going to and from work.
 Suburban communities owe much to the light car. Without it they would not have been founded and expanded as they have. This is just ono of the many utilities which have made the automobile neceSSity,'

includes practically every car known to Birmingham. Already much interest has been shown by girl and women drivers of Birmingham in the forth coming style show, which promises to be fall social function.
 The style show will be directed by Ralph Hankinson and Bill Breiten- stein, but many of the entries will be handled by Mrs. Breitenstein, who is stopping at the Tutwiler
 Mrs. Breitenstein, who drove the winning Velie at the Montana State Fair Style show in September started a romance which ended in wedding last month at Helena. Bill Breitenstein, the local style show dicetor. was di- rector in charge there. She won as Miss Helena Dennis, but now has 8 new and more difficult name
 Since the original announcement she has been deluged with inquiries from local aspirants to style show hon ors, who believe that their attire and demeanor while driving will have much to do with their chance of win ming.
 Assurance that the style show Is strictly a woman's affair has created much interest locally.
 Women vote, drive cars and help run the world so why shouldn't they have it all to themselves when it comes to a style show" says Secr&tary J. L. Dent

AUTOMOTIVE SERMON

From Motor Life.
 The first church on wheels was in- augurated by the minister of a Method ist church in Kansas City, Mo. The venture was so successful-in that 1t trebled attendance-that it resulted in a series of motor sermons in different parts of the city.
 During the summer months so many members of the congregation became delinquent and the number of motor cars passing the door of the church increased in such large numbers that the minister decided that he could not wait for the people to come to church, but would take the church to them.
 Surrounded by score of cars, he propounded his theme, Spiritual Cas- He drew line between the power of the mechanical motor and the church. Every church must have four speeds ahead but no reverses, and in the past the membership had been running in low gear, he said.

WHY BIRDS ARE
NOT ELECTROCUTED

Why birds can perch and re-
main unharmed on live trolley
wires is a question that doubtless
has often occurred to many peo-
pie. In explanation the New York
Evening Post says: 1t is perfectly
true that the trolley wire carries
an electric current strong enough
to kill not only birds but human
beings. However, to do amy harm
the current must pass to the
ground through the body of the
bird or person. The connection
of the body with the ground need
not be direct, but it must exist in
some way.
A person could sit on the troll
ley wire just as safety as the
birds do, but, if he should stretch
out his hand and touch another
wire, or am iron pipe, running di-
rectly or indirectly to the ground,
the full force of the current
would then pass through him. In
other words, the current would be
grounded by the connection made
by his body. In the case of the
birds, there is noting to afford q
ground connection, and they are
in consequence unharmed, the
electric current passing through
the wire under them as water
would pass through a main OF
which a person might be sitting
without wetting him.

paste, nail powder and chamois

paste, nail powder and a chamois
buffer.
First, cut and trim the nails. Do
not depend on your scissors alone
for this; only the first trimming is
to be done with the scissors. The
careful shaping Of the nail is ac-
complished with the file; using
the file always upward, toward
the center of the nail from either
side. Dip the hands in the soapy
water and dry them. Then apply
the cuticle remover with an
orangewood stick around the end
of which you have wrapped a bit
of absorbent cotton. Never cut
the cuticle. 1t is a most dangerous
process and many easily give you
a bad hangnail, and quite posi-
bly, blood poison. The cuticle re.
mover is a liquid that softens the
cuticle so that it just fades away
when you rub back the flesh

| wish there was some wonderful |
Called the Land of Beginning
Again,
Where all our mistakes and all
our heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like shabby
coat at the door
And never be put on again.
wish we could come on it all un-
aware,
Like the hunter who finds lost

And l wish that the one whom our
blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates, like an old
friend that waits
For the comrade he's gladdest
to hail.
We would find all the things we
intended to do,
But forgot and remembered too
late
! Little praises unspoken, little
promises broken,
And all the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might
have perfected
The day for one less fortunate.
1t wouldn't be possible not to be
kind
In the Land of Beginning
Again;
And the ones we misjudged and
the ones whom we grudged
Their moments of victory here
Would find i'm the grasp of our
loving handclasp
More than penitent lips could
explain.
For what has been hardest we'd
know had been best,
And what had seemed loss

For there isn't a sting that will

When we've faced it and laughed

And | think that the laughter Is
