REPORT FROM PARIS IS THAT NO TIME WILL BE LOST IN
 GETTING WILHELM.

Paris The HH ef the ex-kaiser will take place be efure an interallied tribunal soon. Tbs information is youchsafed officially by the French authoft ties. The decision was made, apparently, to meet the pressing de- mands Of large section of public opinion in both Great Britain and France. which lately has been yoic- ing insistent demands for some den nite disposition of the kaiser and his clique who ara blamed as authors of the war
 It is very likely that the tribunal will meet in Paris immediately and ganize court which will make d formal demand for Wilhelm's extra dition from Holland and his delivery to the powers An indictment is al ready prepared except for several technical clauses. SO that everything will be in readiness for the trial when he is handed over by the Meth erlands government From present indications it does not appear that Holland will have any hesitancy in complying with the extradition re- quest
 While diplomatic measures will have to be taken to get hold of the eX-kaiser and his eldest son these will not be necessary in the matter of seizing generals and other authors and perpetrators of frightfnlness.
