FRENCH TO REPLY TO DUTCH

Allies Continue Efforts for Extradition of Bill Hohenzollern. Paris, Jan. 26. —The reply to the refußgl of the Dutch government to comply with the demand of the allies for the surrender of former Emperor Williaxu was the first subject discussed today at the first meeting of the council of the ambassadors, created to carry on the unfinished routine work of the supreme council of the peace conference which disbanded last week. It was decided that the French legal experts available should go im/fco all the aspects of the case and prepare the reply, which probably will be submitted for approval of the council early next week. The discussion in the council did not disclose the trend of opinion among the members further than that it appeared to be the view that the legal phase of the question had become the chief one. The council was presided over by Premier Millera/nd. Hugh C. Wallace, American ambassador, was present with the other members of the body. After disposing for the day of the extradition question the council decided to give the representatives of the Jiugo-Slavs four days’ additional time to reply regarding the proposed compromise on the Adriatic question, including the disposition of Flume. This carries the question along until Wednesday. The council received a letter from Stanislaus Patek, Polish minister of I foreign affairs, calling attention to the possibility of a strong aggressive imiovement by the Bolshevik! against Polish territory and recommending that a plan be adopted for ■ defensive measures. ' The letter asked that the question be called to i the attention of Marshal Foch.
