EX-E|NlP PEROR OF
GERMANY ASKED
Holland, Says Report, Of.
fers to Intern Him at
Doom.

The Hague, Feb. 16.-The latest al
lied note to Holland with regard t.
extraditiony of the former German
emperor reverses the original demand
for his surrender and only asks his
internment, with the suggestion that
the former monarch be sent perhaps
to one Of the Dutch islands in the
East Indies, it became known today.
The Associated Press learns on ex-
iernment has already determined ssfto
reply with an offer actually to intern
Wilhelm at Doom. Holland would
accept the full responsibility of pre-
venting him from endangering the
peace of the world, establishing a
guard over him, and a strict censor
ship.
Holland, it is pointed out in diplo-
matte quarters, is anxious to meet
any request of the allies which is
compatible with her own dignity and
laws and traditions of long standing.
More than anything else. as far as
can be- learneds she desires to bring to
. close the issaie over. the presence OF
the former emperor, which has beer
a thorn in her ride since the Hohen-
zollefnsSs sought refuge here In 1al 3. 3.
That the ex-ruler is undoubtedly
MdAnS to spends the rest Of his life in
Doorn lsis the belief In official circles
wheresit also is believed that the al
lies :Fiu accept the proposal to place
upon Hollands shoulders the Erespon-
sibifity for keeping him there. They
point to Doom as being a particularly
advantageous place to intern him, as
the village is not near any large city
and the house with the ex-emperor
has bought is so placed as to be easi-
" guarded. and.it is somewhat furth-
er from the German frontier than

TWO APPROPRIATION BILLS
 HAVE REACHED THE HOUSE

Washington. Dec. 29.-Two of the fif- teen bills carrying appropriations to run the government during the year beginning next July 1 reached the house today and were given more than the usual prelim- mary scrutiny because of the announced intention of republican leaders to cut government expenditures.
 The sundry civil bill, which contains the miscellaneous appropriations. as re- ported carries a total of S3S3,el1.2s2. This total represents a slashing of Si2o,- 914.192 from the estimates submitted by the government departments and reduc- ton of $52. .237,514 from the amount ap- propriated through the same bill last year. The cut in estimates for the postofiice bill, the other appropriation measure submit ted, however, was not so great and the expenditure recommended represented a considerable increase over this years ap- propriation. The measure as reported carried S573, ,721, a reduction of $1i.- 442,1S from the amount asked by the l postoffice department. but an increase oi i s69 .530 O21 over tn appropriation for ths current year.
 Democratic leaders were prompt te point out that the sum total carried by i both bills, if passed as submitted by ths appropriations committee. would add | about S17,0O0, 900 to the cost of running i the government next year. Republican leaders were equally prompt in declarinl that there was abundant ground fol | qualification on their part. inasmuch al ! they had used the pruning knife on esti mates of democratic department head without mercy.
 Outside of the s223 .Oo0 .O0O provide, for the care of the disabled service mel and dependents of those killed. the sundr! civil measure left only s16o.sl1.2s2 fo | all other purposes as compared witt S126, 900 ,000, the amount appropriated 10 1916.
 The committee reported that the in crease in the postofFice appropriation wa due principally 10 the s10. .OO0. 900 increas
 in the pay of city letter carriers. tn
 $3e.O0O. 900 increase allowed the railroad for mail transportation and the sl2.5oo, 900 increase in pay of clerks and em

ID REDUCE THE NUMBER OF

Washington. Dec. 2s.-CDy The A. P.) Plans for reducing the number of fed eral permits for the handling of liquor in the next twelve months were an- nounced today by Prohibition Commits sioner Kramer. who said the new issue of licenses would be held to a strict minimum in an effort 10 check illegal H. quor sales
 The greatest reduction will be in wholesale permits under Mir. Krauier's s program. but other dealers entitled to operate under the Volstead ac will also be considerably affected. The commits sioner said it was his intention 10 refuse to reissue between 50 and 75 per cent" of the wholesale licenses now in effect
 The enforcement: staff has been en- gagged for several months in studying the records of the T7,OoU-odd permit holders to ascertain who have committed overt acts under the prohibition statutes with the view of eliminating them from tho list of those who may handle intoxicant. next year.
 The bureau has been aided in thiI .ask, Mir. Kramer said, by the failure oi many to apply for new permits. This il especially true of the wholesalers. h' ! added. The number who desire renew | als of retail licenses. however. has no decreased markedly, according to thu
