Legion Would Make
All Love Old GLORY

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. "a.
The stamping out of illiteracy and
the education of all citizens, as well
as immigrants, to conform to Amer
lean ideals, form the basis of the
program to be carried out bv the
American Legion, which held its first
meeting here. Details of the program
and the organization necessary to
carry 1t out were left entirely in the
hands of Arthur Woods, formerly DO
ice commissioner of New York, who
presided.
I'VE recommend giving the active
support of the American Legion to
every effort to stamp out illiteracv in
the nation," the draft continues. "The
only agitator that eventually need
be feared is injustice. The American
Legion stands for reconciliation Of
all its citizens by the removal of I'M
just conditions, Love of country and
loyalty to the institutions grow from
knowledge. The Legion should use
its influence to encourage and sup
port and help schools in telling chill
dren the history and development of
American institutions in language
they can understand.
''This same story should greet the
immigrant as he lands and should
follow him through his oath of citizen
ship"

TEXT OF NOTE OF HOLLAND
REFUSING TO GIVE UP KAISER

PARIS, Jan. 24.-Following is the
reply of the Netherlands government
to the Entente, refusing extradition
of the ex-kaiser;
by verbal note, dated January Is.
1920, given to the envoy of the
Queen at Paris, the powers, referring
to Article 227 of the Treaty of Yer
sailles, demand that the government
of Holland give into their hands Will
liam of Hohenzollern, former emper-
or of Germany, so that he may be
tried
Supporting this demand they OBJ
serve that if the former emperor had
remained in Germany the German
government would, under the terms
of Article 228 of the Treaty of Peace
have been obliged to deliver him.
''In citing as premeditated viola
tons in international treaties, as
well as systematic disregard of the
most sacred rules of the rights of a
man number of acts committed
during the war by German atrocity.
the Powers place the responsibility.
at least morally, upon the former
emperor.
Called Her Duty.
"They express the opinion that
Holland would not fulfill her interna-
tional duty if she refused to associate
herself with them within the limit of
her ability, to pursue or at least not
to impede, the punishment of crimes
committed.
"They emphasize the special char
acter of their demands. which con-
template not a judicial accusation,
but an act of high international poll
cy, and they make an appeal to Hol-
lands respect of law and love of JUS
tice not to cover with her moral au-
thority violation by Germany of the
essential principles of the solidarity
of nations.
"The Queen has the honor to OBJ
serve, first, that obligations which for
Germany could have resulted from
Article 228 of the Treaty of Peace,
cannot serve to determine the duty
of Holland, which is not a party to
the treaty.
Position Different.
"The government of the Queen,
moved by imprescriptible reasons,
cannot view the question raised by
the demands of the powers except
from the point of view of its own
duty. It was absolutely nncnnnected

sovereign right and its moral au-

policy of the powers.
"If in the future there should be
instituted by the Society of Nations,

for Holland to associate herself with
