London, July 4.-The allies, accord

assurance that the Dutch government
in the last resort, will not refuse to
surrender the former German emperor
for trial. The newspaper said that
the necessary formal objections would
doubtless be raised to maintain the
rights of Dutch sovereignty but as the
demand for his person be made in the
name of the league of nations, nation
al rights will not be infringed and
there is no doubt the Dutch govern
ment will be quite ready to get rid of
