Germany's most eminent liv-

MAX OF BADEN
CONDEMNS PLAN
TO TRY GUILTY

Says Germans Might Re-
fuse to Give Up.

BERLIN, Jan. 31.—Prince Max of Baden, the man who forced the abdication of the kaiser, today hotly attacked the allies for their extradition program.

He charged that the men pressing
the demand for the surrender of the
officers and men of the German army
and navy are not prompted by any de-
sire to see justice but by the lowest
form of thirst for revenge. While not
saying so directly, he indicated that if
he were an officer and his name were
listed he would refuse to surrender.

Might Decide Either Way.

"It is a question of conscience," he
said. "A decision either way can be
justified morally. One couldn't with-
hold the greatest admiration to the
men who would give themselves up to
a vindictive and cruel enemy, but it
would be ridiculous to throw stones at
the men who refuse. They can well
think like Theodore Barth, who con-
siders it a sin in politics to sub-
stitute and may therefore

Admiral Kolchak.

[This dispatch, coming from the
Russian telegraphic agency connected
with the government in Sberia, is vir-
tually official. If Admiral Kolchak has
fallen a victim to his former troops, as
seems to be claimed by the bolshevik
message from Moscow, it is evident
that Gen. Semenoff and his associates
in the far east, who took anti-bolshevik
affairs in Siberia in charge after Kol-
chak's detention, had not been in-
formed of it up to Wednesday last.]

Doubt Odessa Fallen.

LONDON, Jan. 31.—Officials here are
decidedly skeptical as to the report re-
ceived yesterday through Vienna that
Ukrainian bolsheviki had captured
Odessa.

An official diplomatic dispatch from
Odessa, dated Jan. 29, said it was be-
lieved the bolsheviki would be in Odes-
sa within seven to ten days, judging
from the rate of their advance. Mean-
while Gen. Schilling, in command at
Odessa, was anxious to remove from
the city some 30,000 civilians, but
was unable to get sufficient transports.
The message left the impression that
the general's plans for the defense of
the city, of which he gave notice some
ten days ago, were not progressing
favorably.

Esthonia Saves Yudenitch.

Gen. Yudenitch has been arrested by
troops of his command, but was freed
by the Esthonians, the Esthonian lega-
tion here announced today. Yudenitch
was arrested by adherents of Gen. Ba-
lakovitch, formerly an officer under
him, the Esthonian government had
been informed officially, because he dis-
charged many soldiers, leaving them
without means of subsistence.

The Balakovitch forces intended to
try Yudenitch at Dorpat, but the train
was stopped by Esthonian troops.
Yudenitch now is under protection of
the Esthonian government.

[Gen. Balakovitch, formerly a bol-
sheviki leader, deserted, with his regi-
ment, to Yudenitch, at the time the
anti-bolsheviki forces were at the
height of their triumphant advance
toward Petrograd last fall.]

REDS AT GATES
OF ROUMANIA;
PEACE OR INVADE

Report Gen. Kolchak Slain
by His Own Army.

VIENNA, Jan. 28.—[Delayed.]—Distributions from Bucharest state that the bolsheviki are waiting at the frontier to offer peace terms to Roumania.

If the terms are refused, the advices
say, the soviet troops will advance.

Report Kolchak Executed.

LONDON, Jan. 31.—The Moscow
wireless service today transmitted an
extract from an article from the official
bolsheviki organ Pravda stating:

"Only a few days ago Supreme Ruler Kolchak was hoisted on his soldiers' bayonets."

Reported Alive Wednesday.

VLADIVOSTOK, Wednesday, Jan.
28.—[Russian Telegraphic Agency.]—
Admiral Kolchak and Premier Pe-
peliayev of the all-Russian government
are imprisoned in Irkutsk and what
their fate will be is not known. Gen.
Semenoff, commander of the forces in
the far east, has communicated with
the Allied commanders, insisting upon
measures for liberating the

B duty not to facilitate this triumphal
march of injustice and violence which
the allied and associated governments
have set on foot.

"So it is possible conscientiously to
answer the question both yes and no.

"We Germans should not deceive
ourselves about the wrongs committed
during the war, but it would be a lie
and a national and international crime
if we were willing to concede the moral
right of the enemies to be our judges.

"Enemies Not Judges."

"We stand firmly for an interna-
tional court to establish the world
crimes and expose them to the con-
tempt of the world and punish them,
but behind the court must stand the
conscience of the nations and a feeling
of responsibility to mankind. It must
not be a revenge committee of the allied
piratical governments."

Lucy Page Gaston Finds
New Foe to Be Put Down

"The Association Opposed to Prohibitions" is the latest organization to draw the fire of Lucy Page Gaston. Miss Gaston said last night that this association is composed of the tobacco companies manufacturing cigarets, and that there will be a fight to the finish between her organization, the International Anti-Cigaret league, and the cigaret makers. If she has her way the cigaret soon will be laid gently to rest alongside of old man Barleycorn.
