Brutal Huns Squirm
Because Treated For
What They Are

Al. .erdam, Nov. 2I--The armistice
conferences between the German dele
gates and Marshal Foch and his assc'
ciates early this month were carried
out in the most businesslike manner
possible and apparently without
noticeable incidents, according to a
long account of the conference given
the Berlin vossische Zeitung by a
member of the German party.
After the French met the German
commissioners they were driven fol
ten hours ir automobiles to the p-
pointed rendezvous.

that the drive was intentionally pro-
longed in order to carry Us thru the
devastated provinces and prepare us
for, the hardest conditions which
hatred and revenge might demand

LONDON. Nov. 27.-Methods of extra
diting the ex-kaiser are being con-
sidered by officers Of the crown and
French authorities. One authority has
concluded it can be done.
The Evening News says it under
stands the law officers have concluded
that the allies are entitled to demand
the extradiction of the former emperor
ard that this decision applies also to
individuals who have committed or
given instruction for the commission
of extraditable crimes.
II is added that Holland takes the
view that she has not the power to
surrender such persons without the
consent of Germany.

Bavaria in publishing the kilograms
which passed between Berlin and

Germany and Austria has been proved
by the Bavarian government.

"She will never dare produce 1t. VIII
