London, Nov. 27.-The Evening
News says it understands the law
Offices have concluded the allies are
entitled to demand the extradition
of the former emperor and that this
decision applies also to individuals
who have committed or given in
structions for the commission of ex-
Lraditable crimes. II is added that
Holland takes the view that she has
not the power to surrender such
persons without the consent of Ger
many.
Allies Work on Plan.
1t is understood that the question
of the extradition of the former
German emperor is being consider
ed by British law officers of the
crown, who are working in close
cooperation with the French author
tiles. Action in the premises was
taken Immediately after the flight
of the former emperor to Holland.
The French premier, NJ Clemen-
ceau, recently requested of Charles
Lyon-Caen, dean of the faculty of
law of the University of Paris, an
opinion on the possibility of the ex-
tradition Of William Hohenzollern.
NJ. Lyon-Caen asked to be given
time to prepare a decision.
ExtraditiOn Possible.
One of the leading French au-
thorities on international law. Ed
Guard Clunet, is reported to have
the opinion that it was
impossible to demand the one-time
emperor's extradition. The former
emperor has been indicted three
times in England in connection with
the sinking of the Lusitania, Ger
man aerial raids and the Smelling by
Warships of unfortified east coast
towns
Foes Guilt Proved.
Newspapers here devote much
space to discussions of the revela-
tiOns made by Bavaria in publish
ing of official kilograms. which
passed between Berlin and Munich
just before the war broke out in
1914. They agree that the guilt Of
Germany and Austria, persistently
denied during the past four years.
has been proved by the Bavarian
government.
Germany has been challenged
again and again to produce the
whole correspondence between Ber-
lin and Vienna during July 1914"
says the Times. She has never
dared produce it. Will the new
dare to show the guE
hot
Bavaria has proved she was an ac-
COmplice Of Berlin and Vienna.
She supported them until they lost
and now she shall not whiten her
character in the eyes of the allies
by blackening the records of her
confederates.
Kaiser Expected Quick Victory.
The kaiser after taking every
possible step TO throw the allies off
their guard, struck, expecting in a
few weeks to have the world at his
tiOns made by Bavaria will not sur
prise the allies nor dispassionate
historians in neutral countries"
Thus was the blood bath pre-
pared. Is the Kaiser to be allowed

ment of the Express.

1T now appears that his repre-
sentations of starving conditions in

continues. no doubt there is
hardships in Germany, but whose
fault is that? So far as the asso-
ciated governments are concerned:
domestic dissensions in Germany
serve merely to put them on the
alert against that treachery which
IS ingrained in Germany"
