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.

800 hunters who participated and It
was late in the evening before the

High Office May
Force Clemenceau
From Single State
raris, Jan . (U. P.) Asked about
his Intentions toward the presidency.
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.
