WOULD INTERN KAISER
Holland Proposes He and Son to
Island for Life.
However, Dutch Would Deliver Refu
gees II Suggestions Are Turned
Down, Says Report.

London, Dec. 9.-f 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 will first urge that the Allies
content themselves with an undertak-
ing by Holland to intern them for life
In one of the Dutch colonies, according
to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Ex-
press.
Holland, it is understood, will sug-
gest that Herr Hohenzollern and his
SON be placed on an island in either
the East or West Indies, where he
will be guarded by Dutch fleet.
1t is also believed Holland will be
asked for compensation for permitting
violation of her neutrality by allow
ing German troops to pass through the
province of Limburg on their retreat
from Belgium and receiving German
ships from Antwerp. This compensa-
tion may possibly be the cession of
certain territory along the Belgian
frontier owned by Holland since 1889.
Perhaps the southern part OF Dutch
Limburg will be demanded. The pop
ulation of this region is principally
Belgian.
Immunity Withdrawn.
London, Dec. 9.-The German gov
ernment has withdrawn the privilege
of immunity from the law, previously
held by members of the Hohenzollern
family, according to dispatch from
Berlin.
