London, January 3.-In diplomatic quarters the belief was expressed this morning that the Dutch reply tc the de- mand for the surrender of the former German Emperor does not close the in- cldent.
 It is held that the allies have 80 strong iy committed themselves in the peace treaty on this matter that they cannot withdraw without further conversations with Holland
 In the opinion Of close observers, Great Mrtain in particular took such an em- phatic stand at the peace conference that Downing street will have to make some further move At the same time public opinion in England regarding the trial of the former war lord has changed consid- erably since the conference.
