CONCERNING EXTRADITION
.Bu The Associnted Press.

BIZ The associated Press.
PARIS, Feb. 7-AstCnishmen has
been caused in French circles by a
change Of attitude on the part of the
British government regarding the ex-
tradition of Germans accused of Vio-
lation Of the laws of war 1t had
been understood that Great Britain
had been the most insistcnt of all
powers represented al the peace con-
ference in demanding trial or former
Emperor William.
Information has been received that
the British have been showing signs
of leaving the initiative in the process
of eXtradition to others; but she has
not made such a radical change Of
front as was foreshadowed a few
days ago.
Premier Lloyd George was present
when the final make up of the list was
discussed and his responsibility is
thus quite as full as that of any other
member for carrying out the decision
of the supreme council.
1t was said Yesterday the British
premier objected only to the form of
the recovery note. But Baron Bir-
ken head. lord chancellor of England
Is understood to have made it cieaI
the British government favored q rad
ical modincation Of the list in order
that an agreement with Germany
might De FSGCneu.
Premier Millerand declared in the
Chamber of Deputies last night, the
allies would not evacuate the left
bank of the Rhine until Germany
had fulfilled ali the terms of the
treaty. This was taken as an indi-
cation of the French officials attitude.
In government circles as well a.
among the public there is no interest
in the trial of the Germans but there
ic. hot 11a tra t1r L. 4
that Germany should not be allowed
to establish precedence that may en-
danger It.
Delivery to the German govern
ment by the French charge in Berlin
of the list of Germans whose extra
dition is demanded by the allies is
the proper course to pursue in exist
ing circumstances, the council of
ambassadors decided today Its ac-
tion was made known through an
official communique which reads:
The council of ambassadors IS
unanimously of the opinion that the
list should be delivered to the Ger
man government by the charge de
affaires Of France in the name of the
allied powers as soon as possible"
1t is understood that in the dis
cussion of the question today the
ambassador took the view that the
entire question Is UP to Germany and
that further steps by allies should
await action of German auth critics.
The fact that the communique was
silent regarding recovering note was
taken to mean that no note was con-
sidered necessary to accompany the
list. The revival by the council of
the practice of issuing official COM
muniques provoked considerable
comment. 1t was taken as indicating
that there was to be restriction upon
the sources of information on the
councils doings.

Although u couple of inches Of
snow fell again yesterday afternoon
and last night, a bright sun this
morning is helping a great deal in
melting the snow and cleaning the
thoroughfares.
The trains although running be-
hind schedule for the most part, are
resuming their old runs. The auto
mobile busses can be seen quite often
on the streets, but very few trolley
cars are in operation. This tieup is
hindering the people in this city ana
nearby towns from getting TO work.
The express company's inability to
handle material from the local fac
tories is tieing up the plants a grea E
deal. The most noted of these plants
is the Raritan Copper Works which
makes huge shipments of silver daily.
The street department Is working
steadily cleaning the main highways
SO that the traffic can be continued
as before the storm. Work over the
weekend together with q .rong sun

streets cleared of the snow left by
