ASKED FOR EX-KAISER
Amsterdam, June 30.—The Allied and Associated Powers will not ask for the extradition of the former Emperor, the Paris correspondent of the Telegraaf says he learns, but will ask the Dutch Government in the name of the League of Nations to see that Herr Hohenzollern does not escape the moral consequences.
It is expected that as a member of the League, he adds, Holland will inform the former Emperor that he must appear before an international court or leave the country. A highly placed French authority on international law told the correspondent that the proceedings against the former Emperor would be on moral grounds and the sentence would be of a moral character entirely. There is no question of a death sentence or imprisonment, the correspondent was told.
It is probable, the correspondent continues, that the crimes of the former Emperor against international morality in starting the war and in violating Belgian neutrality will be condemned severely. The Hohenzollerns will be declared forever deposed and it will be made impossible for the former Emperor to do further harm by assigning him a place of residence from which he must not move.
