have something to say about the agree |
meEts reached by the supreme council |
last week that the sultan shall be per-
mitted to retain ConstantinOple and to
reside there. provided the massacres
Of Armenians are discontinued; and
that the Dardanelies and the BOsphor-

The allies so far yielded to the pro-.
testations of the Germans against the
surrender of war criminals as to tell

the Latin American republics II may
be, however, that Holland will merely
intern the ex-kaiser in his new house
at Doom, keeping him under stric
military guard.
