BERLIN, Feb. 18.--While the ex-
Kaiserin is engaged in a last struggle
for life, an ugly political quarrel has
broken out over the question of her
burial in sthe sacred soil of Potsdam.
The German National Peoples Party,
which is the old junker organization
under a new guise, is scattering cleo
tioneering circulars in the form of q
letter from ex-Prince August Wilhelm,
who writes:
"Just think, this shameless govern
ment wants to prevent the transporta-
tion of my poor mother by day!
Groener says the railroad men would
strike and Braun declares the Reichs-
wehr will guard all approaches so the
populace cannot participate. This
must be spread quickly by mouth.
Please help us do SO, in order that this
shamelessness may become widely
known"
Demonstration Is Opposed
The Vossische zeitung, which doubts
the genuineness of the letter, hask in
stituted an investigation and Ras
learned that the Office Of the court
marshal to Wilhelm II queried the
Prussian government on its position
toward the burial of the ex-Kaiserin in
Potsdam, when her condition grew
critical s.-cral weeks ago.
The government replied that the mat
ter was not one calling for the govern
mont's interference, and further re-
marked that while the wish evidently
was merely to inter her body in native
soil, the obsequies in Potsdam must
not be made monarchist demon
stration.
This, the government points out,
would cause a counter demonstration,
which would not be desired either by
the family or The government; there
fore it would be advisable to transport
the body by night and to have the

Ban on German
Arms Refused
BY Argentina
Allies, Protesting Berlin
Treaty Violations, Told
Buenos Ayres Has Nothing
TO DO With the Agreement
Export Scheme Charged
Shipments TO Neutrais and
Sale to Warning Nations
Said To Be Methods Used

BUENoS AYRES, Argentina, Feb. IS
(By The Associated ss).-Argen-
tina has refused the request of the Al
lies that she take measures to prevent
German expectation of war materials
to Argentina in violation of the Treaty
of Versailles. The government takes
the gron1d that Argentina is not con-
cerned in the stipulations of treaty
between other nations.
The fact that such a request had
been made by the Allies was disclosed
to-day with publication by the Foreign
Office of an exchange of notes between
the Foreign Office and the Italian Min
lister to Argentina, Victor Cobianchi,
as dean of the diplomatic representa-
tives Of France, Japan, England an4
Italy.
Signor Cobianchi. on October 20 last,
wrote that the attention of the Allies
had been constantly called for some
months past to expectations of Ger
man war material to neutral countries
in violation of Article ITO of the peace
treaty, or attempts made to sell such
war material to neutral countries or
their citizens, including rifles and
submarines.
How Munitions Are Exported
Generally such material is simply
deposited in neutral countries for the
account of German firms, or is re-
exported to countries where war still
continues" Signor Cobianchi wrote.
"lt is evident that if the neutral gov
ernments do not consent to intervene
effectively to prevent it this traffic
will permit German political groups
to construct, outside German territory
and free from all control, deposits Of
arms which, on occasion, they would
be able to utilize"
After asserting that the Allies con-
s;der that neutral governments which
maintain tolerance toward "illicit COM
merce would incur grave responsible
ity," Signor Cobianchi's note says that
the "Allies entertain the friendly con-
viction that the Argentine government,
taking into account the seriousness of
the situation, will adopt the eventual
measures necessary to observance of
the clauses of the international act of
Versailles, which prohibit the exporta-
tioh OF GERMAN war material to for
elgn countries"
Acting Foreign Minister Torrello, re-
plying briefly on December 30, said the
clauses invoked were viewed by the Ar
gentine government as having the char
acter Of "a thing done among others" /"
and that this government was quite
foreign to the stipulations of treaty
already agreed upon among other ma
tions.
Signor Cobianchi told The Associated
Press that the Allied note was not in
spired by knowledge of an expectation
of German air materials or attempts
to sell submarines to Argentina. He.
explained it was his understanding that
the Allied Council of Ambassadors had
directed that similar communications
be sent to all neutrals and that the
note to Argentina was in response to
these instructions.
James w. R. MacLeay, the British
Minister, said he understood the prin-
cipal object of these notes was to pre-
vent German war materials from reach
ing Russia.

ROME, Feb. 18. - Francesca Nitti.
former Italian Premier, regards Amer
lean assistance in the reconstruction
of Italy as indispensable. Italo-Amer-
leans hope that he will return to power
in this country, but for tho present
Giolitti's ministry seems safe with the
vots of confidence it received after a
debate on the new bread law.
Business men are determined that
the bill giving workmen some measure
of control in industry must be killed
when it is brought up for discussion
next month. The business men hold
that if the bill were enacted it would
mean the financial and industrial ruin
of Italy.
Giolitti's friends say that after the
debate on the control bill, the Premier
intends to retire to private life.
The leaders of the Socialist party
fearing that the government will take
snap vote on the bread bill at a
moment when the Socialists are in the
minority on the floor, have ordered 1856
Deputies to attend the sittings of
Parliament every day.

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 1s.-President
Obregon's acceptance of the resignation
of Pascual Ortiz Rubio, Minister of
Communications, strengthens the posi-
tion OF General P. Elias Gales as head
Of the Cabinet and of Adolfo de la
Huerta, in the Treasury post, Rubio's
resignation is closely connected with a
Michoacan political fight that is now
before the Supreme Court. 1t grew out
OF divergence of opinion between
Rubio and Gales over the results of the
elections in that state.
Rubo supported Honaroia de Leon,
while Gales backed General Francisco
Murguia, who is now functioning as Gov
ernor. Unconhrmed reports received
here say that the State of Michoacan is
virtually divided into two armed camps,
awaiting amicable attempts being made
here TO settle the controversy.
The fact that Rubio had been consid-
cred one of the more conservative mem
bers of the Cabinet raised some appre-
hension that radical elements might be
getting into the ascendaney in the OBJ
regon administration.

tion, and 1t is one of the things which
certainly will be pressed on the Ger

country TO balance their accounts, I'M

same time let us not ignore how much
has been accomplished. The German

given up and very considerable guam

The Prime Minister declared that
before any governments could take the
responsibility of calling on their re-
spective countries to take stern steps
those governments must be satisfied
that the failure of Germany was due
to a deliberate attempt to defy the
treaty.
Abiding to the trial of the former
German Emperor, Nj. Lloyd George
said that, in view of Hollands refusal
he would say it was 10 good insist
ing that the Kaiser be handed over
France was as strong as England in
the demand for punishment of the
Kaiser, the Premier asserted, but even
France did not think the Allies should
risk anything in the nature of hostile
action against Holland. He declared
he would insist on trial of other war
criminals.

Britain Dominant Since 1852

Great Britain has been the donlinat-
ing power in Egypt since 1882. The
control of the Sultan Of Turkey weak
ened in 1873 and disappeared entirely
III 1914, when Great Britain declared a
protectorate over the country. This
was recognized by France, Belgium,
Russia and the United States.
Immediately after the war the Brit
lsh government attempted conciia-
tory settlement of the Egyptian ques-
tion. When Viscount Milner took the
post of Secretary of State for Colonial
Affairs in 1919 he directed his chief
efforts to Egyptian problems. Last
spring he went in person to Egypt,
heading a commission of inquiry, but
was received with considerable hostil-
ity there by the Nationalists, who de-
mand complete independence.
AS the result o. a series of confer
eences he held in Egypt Lord Milner
formulated recomm ndations looking TO
the recognition of the autonomy of
Egypt with suitable safeguards for
British interests. These recommends
'tions, which are substantially those
recommended to Parliament included
!. The protectorate established in
1914 and recognized by the Treaty of
Versailles to be abolished
2. Great Britain to recognize the in
dependence and full sovereign rights
of Egypt.
Would Withdraw Army
3. Egypt to have full control of he1
own foreign relations and to send hey
own diplomats to foreign nations which
are qualified for membership in the
League of Nations.
a. The British army of occupation
TO be withdrawn entirely within given
time.
s. small British force of 1000 o,
5000 men to remain in Port Said and
Suez for the protection of the canal
6. British officials in the Egyptian
government to be withdrawn within ar
agreed time.
z. Detailed arrangements regarding
the Egyptian debt and the Sudan tc
| be worked out in future negotiations
! 8. The integrity of Egyptian terri
| tory against invasion to be guaranteed
by Great Britain by alliance.
Won Favor at First
The Miner plan seemed to meet
with widespread favor when its de
tails were first announced, but it latel
met obstacles. Recently Lord Milnel
resigned his Cabinet post and it was
! reported that his retirement wat
largely, if not entirely, due to differ,
ences with his colleagues over Egypt
| ian policies.
The Egyptian Nationalists mean
while have resisted bitterly the Brit
! ish protectorate in their country ant
numerous disorders and outrages have
resulted from this opposition. The
most serious uprising against British
rule was in July, 1919, when 500 ma
tives were killed and 1900 wounded
in fight with British troops. About
! 100 Europeans were killed in the bat,
tie. Since that time there have beer
other outbreaks, but all have beer

order of expulsion from Italy has been
isgued by the Italian government but
which has not yet been served on the
prince because the police officials have

Paris yesterday. According to La

last night.
Prince Sixtus, however, talked later
to q representative Of the Temps, who
quotes him as declaring he had not
left Paris at all during the last four
months. Therefore, he commented, the
order Of expulsion by the Italian gov
ernment could hardly be said to be

warning not TO enter Italy, the prince
added, it need not have been made.
