Entente Demanded
Ex-Kaiser of Holland
on a False Report

Washington, Dec. 30.--Through of.
ficial information, not heretofore
available. 1t has been learned that las
summer when an apparently reliable
report came from Holland that the
former German crown prince had es.
capped from his island internment al
Weringen. the supreme council pre-
cipitatelv demanded that former EN-
peror William be turned over to the
entente powers. The demand was en-
bodied in a note sent to the Dutch gov
ernment.
The reply of the Dutch government
was a polite statement that the report
of the escape of the ex-crown prince
was erroneous and that every precau-
ton was being taken to prevent such
an issue. The official information
available today is that there was no
attempt by the Dutch to answer the
demand otherwise. SO that the proba-
BILE action of The Hague authorities In
case such a demand is pressed, can
only be inferred.
