Y. C. ALLIES TO DEMAND KAISER FOR TRIAL, HOLLAND EXPECTS Dutch Will Probably Stick to Their Intention to Refuse His Extradition. The Hague, Dee. 18 (by the Asso ciated Press) Long Inclined to believe the Allies would not make a serious demand for the extradition of former ICmpcror William, the Dutch (lovernment now expects such a demand will be made, the Associated I'ress was officially Informed today.

"We suppose the demand will come before long and that several Towers probably will address a joint letter to Holland cctting forth the case," the oiltoinl said. "Our feeling Is that the cry men who sign the demand prob-bly will be hoping all the time that will refuse. This demand will put small nation In a difficult position li seems lo us not at all just." So far as the Associated Press is bio to learn Holland will probably stick to her original intention to re fuse a demand for extradition of the former Kmperor. There Is a growing feeling ill some Dutch circles thut the former monarch himself could end the difficulty in which he placed Holland if he chose to "how himself grateful for a year's sanctuary. "He could end the whole difficulty so far as Holland Is concerned," the otlP iai "by voluntarily returning to Germany.

Gorman press dispatches indicate the German inquiry commission would like to interrogate him. However, from what we can learn, the form, Kaiser Is not likely to do any-iliiuc like that. He is not afraid to return. I. ul Lis mind does not run that way.

It is against his ideas to appear before any inquiry commission, as he st. II eons. dera himself responsible fur nothing wrong." ATTACK ON FRENCH STIRS DP ENGLISH; LONDON PAPERS HOT Murder and Outrage Flourish in Ireland Owing to Immunity, Says Morning Post. London, Dpc. 20 Commentini the queslion us to whether Ihe attack on Viscount French would Influence the proposals for settling the Irish question which the Premier has prom ised to outline in the House of Commons Monday, the Daily Chronicle, which Is a stanch supporter of Lloyd (binge, says thai it ought not to af fect the government's plans at all.

"The real case for Irish Home Rale is no wise affected by such outrages," lays the Chronicle, "and the government, while inking necessary precautions to suppress murder and terrorism, must no ahead unswervingly with the new Home Rule bill." The Daily Mail, under Ihe caption "Ireland Is lloiling Over," denounces the (lovernment's "insane policy," and -ays that the only worse thing than the attempt against the Viceroy would he that "tho crime should be seized upon as an excuse for prolonging the era of repression and deferring a liberal measure of self-government such as all Irishmen of good will would accept." Tho opposite view is expressed by the Morning Post, which under the headline "Let It Be War," says: "There is no alternative for tho Government but submission or repression." The Post demands repression, say-inn: and outrage flourish in Ireland because they enjoy immunity. The Sinn Fein declares Itself at war. In that name." FARM SCHOOL REUNION Farmingdalc, L.
