FOLLOW THIS PRECEDENT

The Hague, Dec. while the
whole world is discussing the prob
lem of the ex-Kaiser's sojourn, the
Dutch appear to be living in blissful
ignorance Of the grave imprudence.
defiances Of international law, and
derogation from The Hague Con-
vention Of which the Netherlands
Government has been accused In the
last few weeks on questions relat-
ing to its hospitality to the Kaiser
and the passing of German troops
through Dutch territory.
OF the various notes on the sub
ject, it is only permissible to suggest
the matter in the press, and many
facts are unpublished at all. That
is why the people are astonished and
indignant at the Allies attitude, es-
pecially that of France, toward Hol-
land
The Government has not concern
ed itself over whether the Kaiser
has officially abdicated, but both in
the case of the Kaiser and the pass
ing troops it has accepted facts as
Germany has presented them, and
the people have accepted the Kaiser
as private person. Moreover, in
supporting and echoing Germany's
appeal to America to moderate the
armistice terms, Holland has ignor-
ed the fact that the armistice Ia an
act of war not concerning neutrals,
according to The Hague Convention.
This support Of Germany'a appeal
has been officially denied, but there
is in doubt that the step was taken.
1t was Switzerland's function, being
charged with Germany's interests
during the war, to transact such
messages, but Holland has an ar
dent desire to be en- the band wag-
on, having done nothing during the
war.

| Paris, Dec. President Wilson
was informed by wireless yesterday
of the plans for the assembling of
the inter-allied conference and the
meeting of peace conference. He
will also be advised concerning the
recent gathering of the supreme
war council at London. In the mean
time, reports that the President has
approved of anything done, as the
steps taken at that meeting will not
would not be made known to him
until yesterday.
The plans concerning the peace
meetings are the results or COL Ed
ward M. House long talk with Pre-"
mier Clemenceau, following a con-
-erence with Baron Sonnlno, the
Italian Foreign Minister, and the
Earl of Derby British Ambassador
to France.
The inter-allied conferences will
reassemble on Dec. 16 or II. The
meetings will be at the foreign office
in the Quai d'Orsay, and not at YER
sailles. David Lloyd George, the
British Premier, and Foreign Minis
ter Balfour, expert to come here at
that time to meet President Wilson
and attend the conference, but the
elections in Great Britain may not
permit them to remain more than
two or three days.
The opening Of the peace congress
is set for the first week in January.
1t was the desire of the Americans
to begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Other delegates felt that a
later date would benecessary owing
to the Christmas holidays and the
official functions connected with the
presence OF President Wilson and
King victor Emmanuel OF Italy, but
the first week in January finally was
chosen. The first meetings will be
for the actual framing OF the pre-
liminaries OF peace with the repre-
sentatives Of the enemy powers, who
will be present.
Thenames OF the French delegates
to the peace congress have not as
yet been announced, but it is under
stood they will be three members of
the government and possibly fourth
member. The British delegates will
be Premier Lloyd George, Foreign
Minister Balfour Chancellor of the
Exchequer Andrew Bonar Law, Geo.
Nicoll Barnes, labor member of the
war cabinet, and d fifth delegate not
yet selected.
1t is anticipated that the peace de-
liberations will last about four
months, and unless unforeseen OBJ
stacles arise that final action will be
reached toward the early part of
May.

+. S. Oliver, autAor OF 'Ulusal "
Battle" writes to the London Times,
which prints 1t In conspicuous
place, letter in which he says:
Although Germany is beaten 1t is
still of high Importance that the ma
tions who defeated her in the field
should remain boundt ogether by
ties of mutual confidence and good
will. The public utterances of their
various leaders are the chief means
to this end, for such statements will
be read not merely by the fellow
countrymen of the speakers, but al
so in the countries of the Allies and
their co-belligerents. They will be
carefully weighed, and IL they ap-
pear to give good weight they will
be most valuable factor in produc-
ing the impression of just and gen
erous appreciation OF the whole CO.
operative effort.
about everything, 1t seems desir-
able that these leaders Of the great
nations should endoavor tokeep their
eyes fixed upon the true proportions
of their partners in the understand
ing, and this Is a matter of no little
difficulty, owing to the mutual In
stincts of the orator by which he Is
impelled to consider in special de-
gree the sympathies of the particu-
lar audience which he happens to be
addressing"
Mr.. Oliver then cites President
Wilson's reference made with very
natural pride to the great armies
which the United States succeeded
in landing in France during the last
twelve months" and adds:
1T appears somewhat unfortu
nate that the only reference made in
the Presidential message of some
1000 words to the part taken by the
British Navy and mercantile marine
in this truly remarkable achieve
ment should be the statement that
in all this movement only 75S men
were lost by enemy attack, $40 OF
whom were upon single English
transport whic'' was sunk near the
Orkney Islands.
No editorial reference is made by
any papers to the point raised by
Mr.. Oliver, but judging by private
conversations the effect Of the Pres
idential juxtaposition Is one out OF
proportion to Its Importance, II this
matter were to be judged by itself.
In one discussion on the subject
1t was suggested that the tone Of the
Presidents message was colored by
his knowledge of certain amount
Of American opposition to his jour
ney, and that in consequence he in
sisted on striking the national note
more loudly than he might other
wise have done. Another sugges-
ton is that thetrend of recent events
has emphasized the difference be-
tween the European and American
viewpoints and tina the President
reacted to this.
Although there Is nothing in the
way of official justification for the
view that the recent conference in
London between the heads Of the
British, French and Italian Govern
ments were in any sense antagpnis-

London, Dec. 7.-President Will
sons voyage occupies much more
important place in the public press,
albeit the latter Is featuring all the
American news regarding the trip
In Anglo-American circles, particu-
larly, serious conversations are al
most monopilized by discussion OF
theyarious aspects of his visit,
which, according to some, may re-
suit in laying the foundation stone
of a new and better world and ac-
cording to others may only raise
new antagonisms On the old struct-
ure of the world.
The Presidents friends here are
both loyal and fervent, and their be-
lief in him has not been weakened
by his valedictory messages to Con-
gress. On the other hand some who
paid tribute to Wilson's pronounce
ments since Americas entry into the
war think that his last message,
with its expedition of facts which
brought about the armistice, is de-
cline from the high level he previ-
ously attained.
