HOLLAND TOLD TO EXPECT
ExTRADlTION DEMAND.

The Hague. Dec. 20. fBy The Asso-
ciated Pressl.-IMag inclined TO be-
lieye the allies would not make serious
demand for the extradition of former
Emperor William, the Dutch govern
ment now expects such a demand viii bn
made, the Associated Press has been
officially informed.
I'VE suppose the demand will come
before long and that several powers
probably will address joint letter to
Holland, setting forth the case" the
official said. Our feeling is that the very
men who sign the demand probably will
be hoping all the time that we will re-
fuse. This demand will put small ma
tion in difficult position. which seems
to us not at all just"
So far as the Associated Press is able
to learn, Holland will probably stick
to her original intention TO refuse a
demand for extradition Of the former
emperor. There is growing feeling
in some Dutch circles that the former
monarch himself could solve the diff
ficulty by voluntarily returning to Ger
many.
