WILLIAM MAY GIVE SELF UP,

HOLLAND HOPE Note of Entente Demanding rormer Emperor is Delivered to Brussels Asks Country to Do its Duty..: i. ARRAIGNS WILLIAM II. (By Associated Press) '' BRUSSELS. Jan! 19. Deep emotion has been caused in Holland by the al lied, demand for the extradition of former emperor William, of Germany, according to a dispatch. ' : ' Belief is expressed at The Hague that measures will be taken -with a view to inducing him voluntarily to place himself at the disposal of the allies. PARIS, Jan. 19. Holland Is told in the allied note' demanding the extradition of former Emperor William that she will "not fulfill' her international duty" if she refuses to associate herself with the entente powers in chastising crimes committed by Germans during the war. The text of the note sent to The Hague was made public today. It follows in part: "Paris, Jan. 15. "In- notifying- by these presents The Netherlands government and Queen, of the text of Article 227 of the treaty of Versailles. a certified copy of which is annexed. which came into force Jan. 10,- the powers have the honor to make known, at the same time that they have de cided to put into execution without delay this article, (Article 227' publicly arraigns William II of Germany for a supreme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties and declares the allied and associated powers will address a request to-Tho Netherlands government for his sur render in order that he may be placed on trial.) "That He May Be Judged." "Consequently the powers address to the government of The Netherlands an official demand to deliver Into their hands William of Hohenzollern, former emperor of Germany in order that ho may be judged. 'Individual residing in Germany against whom the allied and associated power kave brought charges are to be delivered to them under Article 228 of the peace treaty, and the former emperor, if he had remained in Germany, would have been delivered under the seme conditions by the German government. ; "The Netherlands " government Is conversant . with the incontrovertible reasons which Imperiously exact that premeditated violations of international treaties as well as systematic disregard of the most sarred rules and rights of nit ions should receive as regards every one. including the highest placed personalities, special punishment provided by the peace congress. The powers briefly recall, among so many crimes, the cynical violation of the neutrality of Belgium and Luxembourg the 1 barbarous and pitiless tystem of hostages, departation enroasse, the carrying off of young girls from the city of Lille, who were torn from their families and delivered defenseless to the worst promiscuity; the systematic devastation of entire regions without military utility, the submarine war without restriction. Including inhuman abandonment of victims cn the high seas, and innumerable acts against non-combatants, committed by German authority in violations pf th1? laws of war. "Responsibility at least moral for all these acts reaches-up to the supreme head who ordered' them, or made abusive use of his full powers to Infringe, or to allow infringement upon the most sacred regulations of human conscience. "The powers cannot conceive that the government of 1 The Netherlsnds can reeard with less reprobation than themselves the immense responsibility of the former emperor. . "Holland would not fulfill her International duty if she refused to associate herself with other nations as far as her means allow in undertaking, or at least not hindering, chatlsement of the crimes committed. Archbishop Hays Won't Attend Anti-Saloon Meet (,By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Jan. 19. Archbishop Pa.Tick J.

"The Catholic church awaits no such occasion to lay stress on the plain duty of obeying the law of the land," the letter continued. "Obedience to . authority In the church vid state is the very breath of Catholic discipline. . The American people can be trusted to obey every constitutional, law. "I think that the function of the church is to teach the virtue ot obedience and then leave the enforcement of the law to the properly constituted agencies of the government. John F. Kramer, federal prohibition commissioner, was scheduled to 'ad dress the meeting. : . - ,,-r.'H' v- ;-- TRAPPERS MAKE BIG HAULS. . LIBERTY. Ind., Jan, IS.
