AN as THE WEATHER FAIR AND WARMER THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ==] THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, FEB. . 7, 1920 PRICE FIVE CEN ENTENTE EXTRADITION DEMANDS WOULD “PARALYZE” ASPIRATION OF GERMANY’S NAVAL FUTURE * Twelve Admirals, Two High Seas Fleet. Commanders, Thirty U- boat Commanders and Others Wanted By Allies to Answer For Crimes Berlin, Frida Fey. 6.— Twelve admirals, two high ‘seas fleet com- manders, thirty boat captains and numerous other active officers of the German navy are included in the list‘ of Germans whose extradition is de manded by the allies. The names of virtually all the officials on the naval home and high seas staff are in the list. Admiralty officers charged that the wholesale demand for German naval officers indicates that entente desire tv “permanently paralyze German naval aspirations.” ' ONLY FEW U-BOAT MEN Of a total of 500 German submarine commanders the allies have called for only thirty who presumably are sus ‘ pected of having exceeded their legti- mate instructions. These compose all the prominent U-boat operators, The admiralty admitted loosing 200 U-boats and it is estimated 160 were left at the close ofthe conflict, Officials were unable to account for the absence of names of Zeppelin com- manders who bombed London in view of the fact that naval officers were de- manded chiefly by England. CART. NERGER INCLUDED Capt. Nerger, whose name wag in- eluded in the list, was commander of the German commerce radier Wolff. Parlimentary leaders in Berlin were inclined to be sceptical in regard to the seriousness of the allied demand] for extradition. They were~ inclined to believe it to be the prelude of a de- mand for a staggering indemnity, or an allied move in some other direction. .

Each of the groups determined, it was’ said, 8 to make a firm stand to carry its pro-} © gram through, but it generally was expected in’ senate circles that the modified Lodge reservations as drawn up in the recent bi-partizan_confer- ence would afford a neucleus for com- promise. NO BAN IS PLACED ON TALK IN PEACE TREATY ARGUMENT} Senate Leaders Refuse to Adopt Cloture Rule on Famous Pact Washington, Feb. 7.— Limitation of senate debate on the peace treaty through cloture restrictions which the rules committee had before it has only a small chance of being enforced in the opinion of senate leaders From present indications they believe the will land in the senate Monday with the bars down and de- bate allowed to go unrestrained.
