LONDON, Feb. ia new allied
note to Holland regarding the extra
dition of the former kaiser will be
dispatched tomorrow.
The note makes a strong appeal to
the Dutch government not to create
greater difficulties in Europe by in
sisting on the right of asylum for the
man characterized as the author of
the worlds present trouble.
From other sources 1t was learned
that the council was engaged in COM
pleting the note which was being
drawn, 1t was stated, in a form to
emphasize the concerted view of the
allies that the presence of the former
emperor in Holland was a danger to
the peace of Europe.
A note does not make any requests
of Commons, but is hoped that the
Dutch government will be forced to
reopen the negotiations which they
ended with the refusal to give up the
ex-ruler. 1t is intimated that Holland
might be willing to return the former
emperor outside of Europe
A new note to Germany with re-
gard to the Allied extradition de-
mand, is also being prepared. The
council is represented as being in IA
vor of the document which 1t is inti-
mated will give Germany an oppor-
tunity for further negotiations.

ceive six times the pleasure and service
you would receive II you were to wait
till the last of the season to get 1T :.
So that the truest- economy is to plan
your purchases to have full seasons 8
wear of each seasons wearables.
This year az Easter comes on April
fourth, we have planned to have all
our spring wear in a month earlier
than usual SO that by making your
selections at the beginning of the sea-
son you will have fully a months more
service than in other years.
In addition to that we have sehed-
uled, all our final clearaway events so
that they too come earlier giving you
several weeks additional service Of any
final wear you may now select.

the admiral and Tetilkyev, who was
premier and minister of the interior

were allowed to fall into the hands
of the revolutionary committee.
Agents of the allies are attempting to
learn the reasons and place the re-
sponsibility for this happening.

Russian government at Omsk, head
of it's army and navy at the downfall
of the directorate" the first all
Russian government on November 1S,

Omsk, and retreat to Irkutsk. In the
following month Kolchak retired as
commander in chief of the all-Russian
army, appointing the Cossack com
mander, General Semenoff, as his sue
ceSSor.
Born in 1874 Kolchak entered the
naval service of Russia In 1891. He
served in the Russian-Japanese war
Admiral Kolchak visited the Unit
ed States In September, 1917. at the
head of a special naval mission, re-
turning to Siberia cary in the follow
ing year. He fell into the hands OF
