POKTLAIMU. a u.sjuay, jaimuaky - . angiy GE L 1M HANDED 1ST OF NATIONALS WANTED BY ALLIES President Ebert and Hit Cabinet Aver They Will Resign Should - Trial of Leaders Be Demanded By Karl H. Von Wleoand Berlin, Jan. . The German gov-i rnment was given a New Year's; surprise and shock such aa no gov ernment probably ever received. It wan th foreshadowed allied Newj Year's' "wish" for the' surrender of mere than 1000 Crman nationals for trial In the court of France, England and Belgium. Through the good offices of a certain neutral government, according to a ' source of Information that has proven reliable, the government received" on New Year's day a copy of the list which the allied powers will present to Berlin soon after peace becomes effective, contain ing the names of those whose extradition la to be demanded. GEKESALS PROBABLY If AM ED A glance at this list almost knocked the cabinet off Its pins and sent the political barometer In the inner circles of Wilheimatrasoe lower than it has been at any time since the white flag was sent across the firing line to Foch's headquarters on November 11, ltlS. . Rather than face the Issue called up by such an allied list, Friederich Ebert will resign as national president. Only that much leaked Into the press, result ing In the semi-official statement, which was not denied, that Ebert had made such a statement, but merely declaring an attempt was being made to use It for party political purposes. Whether Von 'Hindenburg and Ludendorff are on the list Is not clear, but the impression one gets la that they are, from, assertions made by high government officials that "no troops can ever be got together in Germany who will arrest either of those two." " ' - SHOUT "HETEK, HITBE" It Is known that General von Boehn. who commanded the German troops in the Loqvaln district when that city was partly destroyed, I on the list. Foreign correspondents in Berlin hare had more or less instructive experience with the German government's various performances f .'Never ! Never hut one gains the Impression that this time the cabinet is doing little talkjng but much thinking.; : '' -V- ' Certain members stlJI cling to the be lief that the" allies "can be brought to reason" and "It cannot possibly be in the Interest of Europe If . chaos breaks out in Germany." - Reports vary as to the exact number of German nationals to be demanded by the allies. Conservative estimates,' bow ever,, place it between ,1200 and H00. EBEBT ISSUES THREAT The feature that la most disconcerting to the government is that the list is said to include about 800 enlisted men and non,-commlsaioned officers, making the situation ' much more complicated and difficult because that reaches down among the "common people." It ap pears certain that. the. government en tertained the hope the list would Include only officers and officials with whom the mass of the people la not particu larly In sympathy men with whom the people as a whole do not identify them selves and that, therefore, the cabinet might find a way out and still save itself. But the list unofficially received is said to have dashed that hope. It is so startling that, according to my Informa tion, President Ebert on the following day let Premier Clemenceau know through Indirect and unofficial channels that If this was the official list, the German government would go to pieces, and that, realising the utter impossibil ity of the government carrying out such a demand, he. Ebert, would lay down his office. BKVOLT IMPENDS The greatest secrecy has been main tained about the alleged receipt of an advance copy of the list, but Ebert, the Socialist president, Is so aroused. It is whispered In circles close to him, that he could not refrain from expressing in private conversations his determination to resign. A high official epitomised the views prevailing in government circles when he said to me today: "If the allies present such a list and press their demand ruthlessly, the pres ent government will go overboard. The bitter injustice of the surrender clause of the treaty extorted from us is smoul dering deeply in the hearts of the Ger man people and this demand may result In an explosion. Only an independent Socialist or Communist cabinet would have the nerve to attempt to carry out such a demand, and it is doubtful Vbethef even they would risk it." ENROOT ATTACKS 1 ATEkPOVER b ll Senators Opposing, Smoot Claim Bill Would Give' Perpetual Title to Corporations. Washington, Jan. 6. (WASH INGTON BUBEAq OF THE JOUR NAL) The first day of debate on the waterpower bill In the senate brought an attack on it by tn rpot of Wisconsin, who asserted that amendments made by the senate committee on public lands will have the effect of giving waterpower cor porations perpetual leases, although In form granting a license for 60 years. Senator Smoot, hi charge of the bill, asserted amendments were made to in sure development. , Unless terms are (attractive enough to secure investment of capital, he said, there is no use in passing the bill. "If we have got to give away this one remaining great natural resource," returned Lenroot, "we had better not have this legislation, and the govern ment itself had better do the develop ing." Lenroot asserted the bill gives pref erence to corporations against the gov ernment in its provision fer recapture at the end of the five years' leasing pe riod because it provides for severance damages of undetermined amount to paid to the original lessee In addition to all Investment cost, and new appli cants, would be unable to meet such claims. Unless the government itself desires to take over power plants, he contended, the original lessee will ob tain renewal form year to year and the franchise will become perpetual. Early stages 'of debate Indicate, a struggle between those who share Len root's view that the senate bill Is too liberal and the Smoot forces, who say they cannot withdraw without discour aging capital and preventing development. Portland Needy to Share in Rabbits Killed in Big Drive Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. --The Portland, Spokane and Walla Walla needy families will be the recipients through the Salvation Army ot the 2600 rabbits killed in the big drive held Sunday at Attalia, It has been decided by those in charge of the drive. ! . Hayracks were used to gather up the rabbits left in the wake of the 800 hunters who participated and It was late in the evening before the task was completed. More than 25 square miles of territory were cov ered, the rabbits being driven to the banks ot the Columbia river.

Premier Clemenceau. according to the Echo de Paris, replied: "The truth is, the public is forcing me toward the presidency of the republic The constantly repeated stories that Clemenceau' will succeed President Polti- care haa given rise to numerous rumors that he Is to be married shortly. One story is that he will marry the Countess de Aulnay. widow of the formef French senator and ambassador to Swltserland. It would be impossible to fulfill his so cial duties as president without a wife to act as hostess, the newspapers point ed out. Reservoir Sites Are Approved in Report Bend. Jan. 6. Both the Benham falls and the Crane prairie reservoir sites will probably be declared practicable when the final report on geological Investi gations, conducted in Central Oregon last summer, ts made public, a telegram received here Monday from Professor W. O. Crosby, head of the party of geolo gists, stated. "For each site a safe and stable dam and a tight reservoir appear to be feasible," he said. By damming the Deschutes river at Benham falls suf ficient water would be impounded to ?ir rlgate 100,000 acres, it is estimated.
