PAPERS URGE
EXPULSION OF ].
THE EX-KAlSER
Uneasiness Prevails in Many
Sections Of Neither
lands.

London, Nov. 22.-(British Wire
less Service) Dutch newspapers
have been dealing with the presence
in The Netherlands Of William Ho-
henzollern and the former Crown
Prince. The Telegram and some OF
the other journals advocate the Iex-
pulsion of the German personages.
Others take a more moderate view
while admitting there is a prospect OF
Holland becoming involved over the
question. The News Van Den Dag OF
Amsterdam, a moderate newspaper,
publishes an article which reveals
the uneasiness prevailing in various
Dutch circles.
"For the present" it says. per
haps there is no danger of a plot on
our soil against Germanys new de-
mocracy among the encourage of the
ex-kaiser or the ex-crown prince, but
who can say when this danger might
not be realized if the guests do not
depart speedily.
History teaches that kings in ex-
lie like to seize favorable opportu-
nifty to re-enact their former roles.
We desire to express our frank opin-
ion that not we, but the Allied gov
ernments. have the right to decide
whether the residence on Dutch ter
ritory Of individuals who are consid
cred by them to personify the powers
against which they have been fighting
is dangerous to them or not. Ii the
Dutch government has another opln-
ion on the subject then 1T will have

WILLIAM STILL
KAISER, SAYS
LONDON PAPER
No Official Notification Tell
ing of Abdication Has
Been Received. ;9N

London, Nov. 27.-The Daily nfsM
attributes to high ofncial Of the
British government" the statement
that William Hohenzollern is sttll
German emperor and king Of Prus-
sia as far as the British government
is informed and apparently Is await
ing for something to turn up"
''The Berlin government" the on
cial added. according to the Daily
Mail, has not made any communica-
ton to the Allies or the United States
notifying us of his abdication. We
think it almost certain that II tho alb
dication occurred notification would
have been sent at least to the United
States"
''No abdication document bearing
the kaiser's signature Is in existence
as far as the outside world know
nothing but the perfunctory statement
of Prince Maximilian in which he
used the words "thron veFzacht,.'
meaning remuneration Of the throne
and not the word 'abdunkung,' mean
ing abdication. Wilhelm, therefore,
undoubtedly still regards tho throne
as his and the world must contemplate
the probability that he expects to re-
turn.
while Holland cannot doubt that
the Allies do not relish her anording
him asylum, there has not been as yet
any joint effort of the associated gov
ernments to extradite him."
