one seems bold enough to describe
the Middle Glass as "A Class Of
Snobs. And it Is because of the
difficulty Of finding lines OF strict
demarkation between the so-called
working classes at one end Of an
artificial scale and the Upper Classes
at the other that the Middle Classes
have evolved into Glass of Snobs.

ably to the Crown Prince, who has
offered to take on his own shoulders
the punishment for all the accused.
His case is somewhat simplified
by the fact that, unlike his father,
he cannot claim the privileges Of
sovereignty. He was known as one
of the most rabid leaders Of the
Prussian war party; the amount of
his technical responsibility for the
outbreak Of the war must be es-
tablished by his trial. 1t Is prob
able, however, that his indictment
will contain clauses referring to the
looting of q number of French cha
teaux, whence, it has been alleged,
he transported carloads Of furnl-
ture, silver, linen, laces, pictures
and other valuables to Germany.
Unsavory accusations Of this kind
have been brought at one time or
other against all of the Kaiser's
sons, as we'll as against a number of
less prominent German princelings
whose names are mentioned in the
list.
Apart from the Kaiser, of all Ger
man royalty the most serious
charges are those against Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and
Prince Albert of Wtrtemberg. The
former is held responsible for the
deportation of thousands of French
civilians, women and children in
cluded, from the Lille district in
northern France. The charge on this
count is based not only on the un-
written law of humanity, but on ex-
press rules Of civilized warfare as
formulated In various international
conventions as we'll. Prince Albert
OF Wiirtemberg is accused of the
massacre Of civilian populations at
Namur, the last of the great Belgian
fortresses captured in 1914.
The list Of German generals
whom the Allies intend to try for
their war guilt is topped by the
names of Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff. These two men have become
the symbols of German militarism.
but that will not be the technical
ground of Indictment against them.
That Ludendortf is, more than any,
body else, responsible for the stub
born continuation of the war and the
failure Of all proposals Of modera-
tion made by the more far-sighted
of German statesmen has been es-
tablished beyond doubt by the pub
lication Of the White Book Of july
81 last. and is, In detail, admitted by

wv JILL the German govern
wv ment surren r the
eight hundred and more
military leaders, high
officials and other persons whose
extradition is formally demanded
by the Allies under the provisions
Of the peace treaty? The alterna-
tives with which President Ebert
and his Cabinet find themselves
confronted can be called anything
but pleasant.
By signing and ratifying the
treaty Germany clearly assumed the
obligation to yield up the instigators
Of the war and the offenders against
the rules and practices Of civilized
warfare. Failure to comply will
bring down upon the Fatherland the
wrath Of the Allies, who Will nat
urally see themselves absolved from
whatever promises and pledges they
have made. Execution OF the sur
render clause, on the other hand,
might set the spark to the powder
magazine Of reactionary discomfort
In Germany itself. The agitation
against extradting the war lords
has received tremendous impetus
during the last ten days, as Ger
mans are parceivfno et Ia ct that tho
Allies mean business. With few ex-
ceptions the German press continue
to harangue in the most violent
tones against what they call Allied
lust Of revenge, and protest that
there Is no German who would dare
to coerce men like Hindenburg or
Ludendorff or Mackensen should
these resist extradition.

for insulting and maltreating British

Twenty Eight officers, five of them

New-York tribune., 1920-02-15
Demand Naval Leader

At the head Of the German naval
leaders whose surrender IL de-
manded by the Allies is Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz, the creator Of the
German war feet. He was the in
stlgator Of the policy which, con-
trary to the Bismarckian tradition
sought Germany's future as lead
ing power in the development of its
strength at sea, course which In
evltably led to the fatal conflict with
England. In his memoirs, published
last year, Tirpitz himself admits the
fallacy Of the principle which he had
chosen for the foundation of his Gfe's
work. BY his naval propaganda Tir-
pitt contributed materially to the
outbreak Of the war; during the
struggle he was identified with its.
for Germany, most fatal aspect. the
ruthless submarine campaign. It is
argued in the German press that
llrpitz never did participate in anv
actual naval operation, and that.
therefore, the demand for his ex-
tradition is preposterous.
On the other hand, it cannot be
gainsaid that he was the main orig
1nator of a policy which involved
some of the worst practices of Ger
man warfare, such as the sinking
OF merchantmen without warning
the submarine campaign on neutral
shipping and the disregarding Of
hospital flags. In this sense Tirpitz.
as we'll as his successor, Admiral Won
Capelle, may be held responsible
even in a higher degree than the
submarine commanders themselves
who, in most instances, merely fol-
lowed orders.
Other admirals whose extradition
1s demanded are Won Miller, chief of
the Kaiser's secret naval cabinet.
Won Scheer, In command at the bat
tic OF Jutland; Won Schulenburg, OF
tho Kaiser's headquarters. who. be-

peace attempts. Among the subma.
rine commanders whose surrender is
claimed Captain Valentiner has,
perhaps, the most "distinguished'
record. In 1916 he was decorated
with the Prussian Order Of Merit.
the highest German military dis
tinction, for the sinking Of l2S ships,
of total tonnage of 282, 600 In
cluded among the boats sunk by him
were French gunboat, a troop
transport, four steamships loaded
with war material and a French sub
marine conveying fourteen coal
steamers. He also captured two
armed merchantmen and shelled the
Portuguese town Of Funchal on the
Madeira Islands. Later it was es-
tablished that the sinking Of the
liner Ancona, an act which formed
one of the main issues in the contro-
versy between the United States and
the Central powers, was also one
of Nalentiner's exploits.
Other submarine commanders
claimed are Lieutenant de Ia Per-
rlere, with record Of seven sink
ings; Lieutenant Franz Decker. with
record Of seven; Captain Lieuten-
ant Forstmann, with record Of
four; Lieutenant Hartwig, one;
Lieutenant Morath, four; Lieutenant
Steinbauer, three. Most of these
officers also are accused of specific
acts Of atrocity committed We
sinking ships without warning.
Lieutenant Klatt, commanding the
UC-38, is charged with the sinking
of the ship Mischelino and the mas
sacre Of almost the entire crew on
February II, 1917.
Lieutenant Max Werner Is
thought to have been the com
mander Of the U-boat which in the
summer of 1913 sunk the British
hospital ship Llandovery Castle,
with a loss of 233 lives, and the
British ambulance transport Wa
rilda, with a loss Of 12O.
In the case Of the submarine
atrocities the tribunal will have to
deal with three main issues: first,
who was responsible for the orders
involving "frightfulness": second,
how far individual commanders can
be held to account for executing
orders issued by their superiors;
third, in what cases were these or
ders exceeded, or, in other words,
which atrocities were the individual
acts of officers in command of fight
ing units. This latter question will
figure large, also, in the case of
atrocities in land warfare and in the
prison camps.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-15
Compiling the Evidence


All that, however, is up to the
German government. While the
extradition wrangle is going on the
world Is preparing to witness what
promises to be the greatest and
most sensational criminal trial in
history. That distinction would be
earned by the mere number of the
accused, eight hundred and ninety
six in all; but beyond this accident
Of number looms the background of
the greatest and most terrible war
Of all ages, war which, directly or
indirectly, caused the death Of more
than 90,000,000 people, or 2 per
cent Of the entire human race.
The trial of the German war lords,
if actually held, will be unprece-
dented in international law. This
fact is, indeed, argued by it's oppo-
nents, both in and outside Germany,
against holding the trial at all. On
the other hand, those favoring Grim
inal proceedings might-and do
retort that the World War itself, on
which the proceedings are to be
based and whose records furnish the
evidence against the prospective de-
PENDANTS, Is wholly unprecedented,
too. In demanding that those prin-
cipally responsible for it's outbreak
and It's worst excesses be made
amenable to punitive justice, the
Allied governments merely take the
position that the unparalleled mag
nitude Of q crime does not immunize
its instigators.
List Makes a Book
The official list of the offenders
whose surrender for tho moment is
the outstanding issue between the
Allies and the German government
was issued last week at Paris in the
form Of 200-page book. The full
list ia not yet available here; but
the names Of the principal culprits
have teen enumerated in the cables.
The book consists Of eight sec
tions, the first including the names
OF the persons whose extradition is
demanded jointly by the Allied pow
ers, and the other seven the separate
lists submitted by Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Italy, Jugo-Slavia,
Poland and Rumania, respectively.
The specific charges against each Of
fender also are stated; few details,
however, have been transmitted so
far, and not even the outlines of the
most important individual indict-
ments are known. However, the
record Of the accused parties is a
matter of public knowledge, and it
is possible to reconstruct the lines
along which the prosecution Is likelv
to proceed.
In the center Of interest, natu-
rally, is the person of the greatest
offender of them all-that of the
former Kaiser. 1t is In his case
that the gravest difficulties are to
be faced, for, in consequence of the
stand Of the Dutch government, un-
der whose jurisdiction Wilhelm Ho-
henzollern is at present, his appre-
hension involves the question of the
right Of asylum and Of neutral
rights. As to his personal guilt,
the revelations Of Karl Kautsky,
who recently published from the
German archives the documents re-
lating to the outbreak of the war,
have dispelled the last shadow of
doubt.
The difficulties Of the Kaiser's
case do not end, however, with Sc
curing his extradition. To frame
mis- indictment along strictly legal
lines would, under tho present state
