BIG PROBLEM
 FOR HOLLAND

The Hague, Nov. 5.Holland, which refused to surrender the former Ger man Emperor to the Allies for trial has another knotty problem in a de- mand from the Belgian government for the extradition of Professor de Vreeze; formerly librarian of Ghent university, a political refugee and now librarian at Rotterdam.
 Professor de Vreeze is one of the Flemish Belgians who during the soughtfi with German aid, to sepa- rate Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, from the French speaking part. Many of them, when the armistice showed Germany beat en, fled to Holland. In their absence, they were convicted of treason and 'some of them are under sentence of death. Professor de Vreeze is ac- cused as a leading ''activist'' in the Femilsh separation movement. Con- sidering this political offense and therefore not eXtraditable, the Dutch government would not give him up.
 Now, at time when relations be- tween Holland and Belgium are strained because of commercial treaty complica tions and. the renewed efforts of Belgian-Flemish activists toward the separtist movement, Bel gium has demanded the extra dition of De Vreeze, this time on grounds, which, if proved, Holland might con- sider. while it would not consider a political offense.
 The charge however, is only that his house in Ghent some government property, such as old boxes, old books and some coal which were on the premises of the library at Ghent. It is hinted in Holland that this is only a subterfuge to get the professor across the frontier.
 The Dutch government has named commission to decide the case.

 Tortoiseshell and gold cigarette cases, less than two inches square and stocked with illiputian cigar cites, are another temptation 10 the woman with plentiful pocket money. At the same shops are sold cigarettes as large as cigars.
 Slave bangles are now square in section, and square also are the sien- der walking sticks of ivory, heaueo and tipped with ebony, which are con sidered the fitting accompaniment to the autumn "tailormade."
 The shopkeeper is daily extending his provision of articles which form the perfect ma tch for one another Witness of this is a display of se- verely plain garters in sober colors made in unfrilled silk elastic, fastened by mannish buckle and labelled For wear with the tailored suit.
 Sets of silken harness for pet dogs are also to be obtained in reg:mental or racing colors, and collars Of col ored leather edged with fur are also to be seen.
