THE HAGUE, Thursday, December
1S.-Long inclined to believe the al
lies would not make a serious demand
for the extradition of former Emperor
William, the Dutch government now
expects such a demand will be made,
the Associated Press was officially in
formed today.
We suppose the demand will come
before long and that several powers
probably will address 4 joint letter
to Holland setting forth the case." the
official said. ''Our feeling is that the
very men who sign the demand prob
ably will be hoping all the time that
we will refuse. This demand will put
small nation in a difficult position.
which seems to us not at all just
Holland Seen As Refusing.
So TAR as the Associated Press Is
able to learn. Holland will probably
stick to her original intention to re-
fuse demand for extradition of the
former emperor. There is a growing
feeling in some Dutch circles that the
former monarch himself could end
the difficulty in which he placed Hol-
land if he chose to show himself
grateful for a years sanct ,ary
He could end the whole difficulty
SO far as Holland is concerned" the
official said, by, voluntarily returning
