character witnesses for Grace Lusk,

HOLLAND WILL
DELIVER KAISER
TO ENTENTE
Would Prefer, However, to Exile
Him. Upon Island in Dutch
Possessions

London, Dec. 7.--lf the allies insist
on the delivery Of the former German
emperor and crown prince to an inter-
national court of justice, Holland will
yield, but but will at first ask that the
allies entertain an undertaking from
the Dutch government to intern them
for life in one of the Dutch colonies,
on an island in the East or West In
dies, where he will be guarded by a
Dutch fleet. 1t is also contemplated
that Holland will be asked for indem-
nifty for violation Of her neutrality
by permitting German troops to pass
through Lemberg in retreat from Bel
GUM and for permitting the German
fleet at Amsterdam. This may be
asked in the form Of cession of GER
tain territory adjoining Belgium,
which Holland has held since 1899,
particularly Lemberg.
This compensation. says the cores
pondent, may possibly be the cession
of certain territory along the Belgian
border, owned by Holland since 1889,
perhaps the southern part of Dutch
Lemburg, the Dutch population OF
which is claimed to be principally
Eelgians.

MANY MILLIONS
BEST YEARS OF
LIFE ARE LOST
Terrific Economic Sacrifice Re.
suits from Recent Epidemic
of Spanish Influenza

New York, Dec. THAT the eco.
nomic loss to the nation from the re.
cent influenza epidemic amounted to
millions of the best years OF life, "
because the average age Of those who
died was under thirty, was pointed out
today by Actuary Henry Moir, of New
York, at the thrift conference which is
being held in connection with the
twelfth annual convention Of the AS
sociation Of Life Insurance presi-
dents. Mr.. Moir, who is president OF
the Actuarial Society Of America, said
that a recent investigation of insured
lives covering a period Of fifteen
years experience showed that those
who had died as a result Of the in
fluenza epidemic should have lived
on the average to >lss S. to 60 years
old, under normal conditions. In
speaking of this loss, he said, that this
young and vigorous human life which
would otherwise soon have been de-
voted to reconstruction problems now
before the world has been "stolen by
this scourge." Mr.. Moir used fig
ures taken from official reports and
