whether the position should be made

placed upon the same basis as the FOOD

DUTCH WOULD PUT
KAISER IN EXILE
IN THE WEST INDIES

London, Dec. IF the allies insist
upon the delivery of the former Ger
man emperor and crown prince to an
an international court of Justice, HoI-
land will yield, but will firest urge
that the allies content themselves
with an undertaking by Holland to in
tern them for life in one Of the Dutch
colonies, according to an Amsterdam
dispatch to the EXPIRES.
Holland, it is understood will suggest
that Herr HohenZollern and his son
be placed on an island in either the
East or West Indies, where he will.
be guarded by a Dutch fleet.
1t is also anticipated that Holland
will be asked for compensation for
permitting a violation OF her neutrN-
ity by allowing German troops to pass
through the provinces of Limburg on
their retreat from Belgium and receiv-
ing German ships from Antwerp. This
compensation may possibly be the
cessation of certain territory along the
Belgian frontier owned by Holland
since 1899. Perhaps the Southern part
of Dutch Limburg will be demanded.
The population of this region is prin-
cipally Belgian.

tanning the names Of all men entitled
