WAR CRIMINALS.

EIGHT HUNDRED FOR TRIAL "MUST BE HANDED OVER." By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrlgnt. Received Jan. 18, 5.5 p.m.' London, Jan. 14. The Daily Telegraph's Paris correspondent reports that it is authoritatively stated there is no question of calling on Germany to hand over military and naval commanders who observed the rules of warfare, but officers against whom there is definite proof of such crimes as firing upon people struggling in the water after the sinking of ships, the mutilation of wounded, or violence against women, will be demanded. The list has been carefully revised, and has now been reduced to eight hundred names. The British, French and Belgian Governments have absolutely decided these must be handed over to the Allies particularly concerned. Thus, Britain will deal with the submarine sinkings. When the demand for surrender is made, details will be published in Ger-many.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. • TRIAL OF THE EX-KAISER. EXTRADITION DEMANDED. Received Jan. 18, 5.5 p.m. London, Jan. 15.
