HOLLAND NOT TO REFUSE
 TO SURRENDER EEK KAISER

London, July 5.-The allies. accord ing 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 doubtlesSly 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 unwel come guest.
 It is not considered likely, the Mail continues, that the matter will come before the Dutch courts despite certain sLa1emens at The Hague.
 The chief count in the former kaiser's indictment the Mail under stands will be his action in causing violation of Belgium and Luxembourg. The proceedings will be conducted in English, but a translation will be made into several languages simultaneously.

Leader or Follower.

Every man will be expected to con- tribute his quota to the new era. The Old Book is right when it says. "No man iveth to himself" Influence of ideal and conduct must be made to administer to world betterment. The time has come when it will not longer allow man to criticize in his neigh bor the petty things he practices in his own life. Each man will be expected to be leader in his line. If he can't be this he will have to be satisfied with following the lead of others in both position and pay. And few men want to do this. But the law is inevitable. Man must either produce or become follower. Valuable as some men are they can never claim equality with the men of initiative and daring who blaze the trails to human progress.
