HOLLAND ASKED NOT
TO ADD TROUBLES
BY GUARDING KAISER

London, Feb. 10. A new aII,ed
note to Holland regarding the ex-
tradition of former Emperor William
will be despatched tomorrow, accord
ing to the Evening Standard today.
The note, says the newspaper
makes a strong appeal to the Dutch
government not to create greater diff
ficulties in Europe by insisting on
the right of asylum for the man
characterized as the author of the
worlds present troubles. The note was
being drawn, it was stated, in a form
to emphasize the concerted view of
the allies that the presence of the for
mer emperor in Holland was a dan
ger to the peace of Europe.
The note does not make any re-
quests of Holland but it is hoped that
the Dutch government will be drawn
into reopening the negotiations which
ended with the refusal to give up the
ex-ruler. It is intimaed that Holland
has not received a suggestion to this
effect unkindly and that she might
be willing to intern the former EN-
peror outside Of Europe.
