Dutch Can't Halt
Flight OF William,

AMSTERDAM, July 4.-There is
nothing to prevent the former German
Emperor or the former Grown Prince
from leaving Holland at Their pleas
ure, according to high government
auth GRITTY at The Hague quoted by the
Amsterdam "Telegraaf" correspondent.
If either Of them should leave, how
ever, the official quoted said, the sur
prise OF their departure would be "un-
pleasant both for the Dutch govern
ment and the Dutch people,
"Should there come, however, a de-
mand for the former Kaisers extradi-
ton,' the official said in an interview
and should he then want to depart
suddenly it is possible he would be
prevented. He can, according to the
law OF cxtradltion, be arrested at the
request of a foreign government, but
q demand for his extradtion must be
made with n a certain period.
when the demand for cxtradition
comes it vii! be examined in the light
Of laws and treaties first. The law to
be considered is the extradition law,
Article whereof spec fies offences for
which foreigners will not be extra
dited. EXtradition also is subject to
number of other restrictions, for
malities and guarantees. Should there
come a demand which is technically
correct ard in order the government
must first obtain the advice of the
tribunal under whose legal jurisdiction
the person wanted is res ding
THE former Kaiser must be heard
by tribunal" it adds. "The hearing
may take place en- camera and at that
hearing he could be represented by
counsel. Within fourteen davs aftcr
the hearing the tribunal must inform
the Minister of Justice of its decision,
whereupon the government would act"

Handley Page Bomber Sets Out From Harbor

HARBOR GRACE, N. F., July 4-The
Handley Page bombing biplane, orig
ina.ly entered by Vice Admiral Mark
Kerr for THE London Daily Mail"
Transatlantic contest, started at AIS
o'clock (New York time) this afternoon
on an attempted nonstop flight to New
York. Vice Admiral Mark Kerr and his
crew of three hope to land tomorrow
morning at Mineola, in ample time to
join in the greeting to the British
dirigible R-34.
The Hand!ey Page passed over St.
Pierre Miquclon, about 1870 miles from
her starting point, at $3.50 p. n., New
York time. according to wireless
message received here. At $3.50 o'clock
it was reported from Sydney, N. S.,
some ITO miles further on, that both
the plane and the dirigible we're about
fifty miles off that port.
At 11:45, New York time, the plane
passed over Antagonist, N. S., travel
ling at high speed and at great
height Antigonish is 120 miles east
of Halifax and 430 miles southwest of
Harbor Grace.
The distance from Harbor Grace to
Mneola is approximately 1,075 miles,
and the flicrs, counting on strong beam
winds against them, estimated the
flight probably would take between
twelve and fifteen hours. With favoring
winds, it could have been made in about
ten hours, as the big biplane is capable
of developing an engine speed Of
ninety-fve to 1903 miles an hour.
Besides Admiral Kerr, who is acting
as manager and assistant pilot, the
crew comprises Major Herbert G..

navigator, and Frederick Wyatt, radio
operator.
Take-off Is Perfect
Despite the fact that the start was
made up an incline, the Handley Page
took off beautifully, being loaded to
little more than half its fuel capacity.
The petrol tanks, having a capacity of
1000 gallons, contained but LOO gal
Ions, which was declared to be more
than ample for the comparatively short
fight to New York
The machine rose into the air after

Allied Tribunal of Five
HollandL Laws MOI Involved
Violation of Belgian Neu-
trality To Be the Charge;
Formal Protest Expected

LONDON, July 5 (By The Associated
Press).-The Allies, according to "The
Daily MAIL" have received assurances
that the Dutch government in the last
resort will not refuse to surrender the
former German Emperor for trial.
The newspaper says that the neces-
sary formal objections will doubtless
be raised to maintain the rights of
Dutch sovereignty, but as the demand
for his person can be made in the
name of the league of nations national
rights will not be infringed, and there
is no doubt the Dutch government will
be quite ready to get rid of the un-
welcome guest.
John Andrew Hamilton, Lord Sum-
ner, will preside over. the five
judges representing the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan
at the public trial of the former Ger
man Emperor, according to s'The
Evening News"
Sir Gordon Hewart, Solicitor Gen
eral of Great Britain, will lead for the
prosecution. William Hohenzollern, it
is said, will be defended by German
counsel, assisted by British lawyers if
he wishes them.
Procedure to Be Fixed
1t is not considered likely, "The
Mail" continues, that the matter will
como before the Dutch courts, despite
certain statements at The Hague.
The chief count in the former Kais-
er's Indictment, "The Mail" under
stands, will be his action in causing
violation Of Belgium and Luxembourg.
The proceedings Will be conducted in
hnGlAsh, but a translation will be made
INTO several languares simultaneously.

holds that the former Emperor certain
" should not be given a privileged
position in court, but should be put
in the dock like any other man charged
with crime.
Expect Trial in Fall
The trial is looked for this autumn,
if it occurs, and steps for the Kaiser's
eXtradition are expected to be taken
soon, if not already begun.
The decision to bring the former
