WILLIAM LIE QUEUX.

William lie Quoux, the noted Brit
1sh novelist, war correspondent and
former member of the British secret
service, will be fifty-four years old
today. Nothing has been heard Of
him for quite some time, and he IS
very likely engaged Somewhere in
Europe, Asia or Africa" in the inter-
est of his country Shortly after the
war broke out. however lie Quoux
was very much in the limelight, be-
cause of his book, "Britain's Deadly
Peril" This contained a bitter de-
nunciation of the British government
for it's alleged failure to have dealt
capably with the German spies, who,
he insisted, were numerous through
out the kingdom and constituted a
deadly menace to the nation. His
book was so strong in its depletion
of the 'spy peril" that it was i'm
mediately suppressed by the British
censor. LIE Quoux asserted that he
personally observed German spies
flashing signals from places along the
English coast, but that he was only
scoffed at when he reported his dis
coVerleS TO the government officials.
In his youth LIE Queux studied art
in Paris, but forsook the Quarter
Latin to make a pedestrian trip
through France and Germany. He
then became a newspaper writer and
correspondent, and in 1891 was made
a subeditor of the London Globe. He
then devoted himself to writing nov
els, the best known of which are
Guilty Bonds Strange Tales of a
Novelist" He has travelled all over
. the world, and has served as a secret
agent of the British government His
observations in Germany convinced
him many years ago that the Kaiser
government was preparing for a great
war, but his warnings like those of

SENTIMENT TO ExTRADITE Ex- KAISER INCREASES

London, Nov. Resentment in Great Britain and France is harden ing against the former kaiser secur ing permanent place of refuge in Holland. No official statement is forthcoming on the subject, but the semi official opinion is that it would be unwise to allow the kaiser to re main in such close proximity to the German border.
 It is believed that the former kaiser has been interned, as Count Bentinck is quoted as saying that the Dutch government has requisi tioned his castle to accommodate the Hohenzollerns.
 It is suggested that the allies might draw up a specific indictment of the kaiser for one or another of his per. sonal crimes against property and life and demand his extradition along the usual lines. The Dutch authori- ties, it is held, could only declines to grant extradition on he ground that a monarch is above the law, and this argument is likely ;c be sustained now.
 The Evening Standard says:
 We shall insist, as one of the con- ditions of peace, on the punishment of the Germans in authority who com mitted crimes against humanity and the laws of nations. How can we consistently condone the guilt of the arch criminal the kaiser, who finds safe asylum on the soil of a neutral neighbor? What is to pre- vent the escape of these other threat ened men? On the ground of eternal justice, as well as expediency, it is essential that the ex-kaiser be deliver ed up."
 The Globe says:
 "The Dutch cannot desire to har- bor the kaiser and his presidential in fluence among themselves We chall relieve them of much embarrassment and be doing them real kindness if we intimate in. no uncertain terms that this criminal is wanted by the police and that with or without a warrant they mean to have him.
 The Dutch government will do we'll to insist that the kaiser shall get out of Holland immediately"
 The Daily Mail says:
 Europe will not be safe until the allies have taken the kaiser prisoner.
