Helfferich Fined SIS
For Libeling Erzberger
Victorious Former Vice-Chan.
cellor Condemned by
Berlin Court

BERLIN, March 12.~Dr Karl
Helfferich, former Vice Chancellor
under the imperial regime, was to-day
found guilty of libelng Matthias Err
berger, former Vice Chancellor, recent
ly resigned. Dr.. Helfferich was fined
800 marks (nominally $75) and also
saddled with the heavy costs Of the
trial, which began on January 10.
Although judgment was given
against DR.. HeliFericli, the verdict WIS
literally tinctured with condemnation
of Herr Erzbdrger, which plainly
charged that the defendant not only
had proved the former Chancellor
untrustworthy, but guilty Of using his
official parliamentary position for
furtherance of his private gain, nota-
bly, with respect to the purchase of
Hamburg Steamship Com
pany shares. The court, in its opin-
ion, held that while DR.. Helfferich
ostensibly was guided by patriotic mo-
tives in his fight against Herr Err
berger, he nevertheless permitted him
self to be influenced by hatred of him.
Herr Erzberger was not present when
the verdict was announced. DR.. Helf-
ferich was cheered on leaving the

More Ships, Less Service
Now Than Before War
Delays, Including Strikes, Have
Reduced Efficiency of Vessels
Greatly. Says ROsaefeP

OrCAtly9 OdyS 4AVHD0t0E
WASHINGTON. March 12.--Although
the worlds ship tonnage Is greater
than before the war, service rendered
Ii not more than one-half Of What it
was formerly, ]. Fl. Rosseter, formerly
director Of operations Of the Shipping
Board, to-day told the Senate Com
merce Committee. Delays Of all kinds
have reduced materially the efficiency
Of the vessels, he said. instancing
strikes In many countries.
The statement resulted from an ef-
fort by Senator Fletcher, Democrat,
Florida, to get an estimate as to what
American tonnage should be. The wit
ness replied that figure "out OF the
sky" would be 100000 deadweight
tons, but it was hard to estimate on
the old basis Of traffic to be carried
because of che low service now OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Rosseter strongly favored a
bargain sale" of all wooden ships
owned by the government at a rate Of
$50 ton. He said the wooden craft
were "a mistake from every view
point"
The crying need of the American
merchant marine program, Mr.. Rosse-
ter said, was for cargo craft of the
q speed of thirteen or fourteen knots.
Those were needed, he said, to estab-
lish guaranteed return routes.
III we are ever 70 accomplish our
dream of making New York instead of
London the financial center Of the
world" he said, "tne only way is to
establish these regular lines"

i'm Extraditdon Lists

BERLIN, March 1.-THE German
Charge d'Affaires in London has
handed to Premier LLOYD George a
note regarding the Entente extradi-
tion list, it was announced to-day.
After asserting that the Imperial
Court will be guided only by con-
siderations of justice and will con-
duct an impartial inquiry, the note
demands that the arrest of Germans
in the occupied territories on charges
similar to those, enumerated in the ex-
tradition list shall cease and that those
arrested shall be delivered to Gar
man courts.
The release Of Germans who for
similar reasons have been detained in
war prison camps also is asked for
The note finally demands that the
Allies abandon the reservation regard
ing their right to try for crimes com
mitted during the war any Germans
not mentioned in the list if en-
countered on Allied territory, saying
that incidents arising out of the war
should be consigned to oblivion with
tho advent of peace.
otherwise, the note says restora-
tion Of normal relations between the
different nationalities is hardly con-
ceivable and that the German govern
mesit, on its part will be obliged to take
measures with a View ITO the expira-
ton Of punishable acts committed
during the war against Germans by
Allied subjects.
The note says the extradition lists
have been submitted to the supreme
states attorney at the Imperial Court
in Leipzig, so that the requisite meas
ures may be taken in accordance with
the law for the prosecution of war
offenses.
1t explains the terms of the bill
passed to supplement this law, and
says the prescriptions in it give every
conceivable guarantee for an exhaus-
tive impartial inquiry. 1t is added
that the German government's atti-
tude toward all the Allies reserva-
tions therefore is manifest
