Dec. 10. - Duteh Public opinion concerning the die - ,position of the ex -Kaiser has been ,roused at last by the Inter -Allied Conference in London. The Duteh are now fully expectingan Allied de- mand for hie extradition. Dr. Louis Israele, a distinguished legal authority, in an article on the eubJect in the Amsterdam Telegraaf, points out that the ex -Kaiser did not come to Holland as a private person, arguing that the text of the abdica- tion, particularly his appeal to the German people, to which he affixed the imperial signature and seals, "constitute an imperial action on Dutch soil, irreconcilable with the acts cif a private person.4i Dr. braele's conclusion is that stare the ex -Kaiser came to Holland under rattle pretences and since Hol- land thus received hitn under false premines, "the Dutch Government is freed from the slightest obligation to protect him." The Nieuws Van Den Dag says it holds the opinion that the former German Emperor is responsible for the acts of his troops in Belgium and France, for the ruthless sub- marine warfare end the aerial bom- bardment,' of open towns. and that, consequently, no Dutch Govern- ment with common aense would allow Holland to be involved In war or have her food supply endangered by reason of acts of friendliness to- ward the former monarch. Another reason, the newspaper says. why Holland should be relieved of William Hohenzollern's presence as soon as possible, is that many per• sons in Germany have not, yet aban- doned the hope of restoring the Im- perial power. "It wou:d not be stir rising if these people entertain re Hone with ,Germans in Holland," the article Concludes.

Ar- rangements have been made for a conference between the exchanges and the Board of Censors to discuss the matter.

"There has been isolated criti- cism of the stand we have taken," said Hon. Mr. McGarry yesterday. -It in based upon the claim that the film exchanges cannot secure British and Canadian films. I have gone inte the matter very carefully, and I have in- formation that convinees me that these films can be obtained. In fact, the exchanges are preparing to get them." Mr. McGarry's decision to "put his foot down" on the exchinges was made sifter a personal visit to several theatres, in all of which he saw films calculated to make the theatre patron believe that the United Staten took the major part in defeating Germany, while not one had • film depicting the work of troops "of the Empire.

Prime Minister Promises Germany ' HUI Pay to Limit. th▪ at the Governutent will nationalize British railways is the most sensa- tional feature of the election. Unreet1 and a strike in prospect among rail- way employes is believed to have hastened the declaration, as it had been understood that, while there would be Government supervision and povermuent control in a meas- ure, the railways woulei shortly re- vert to private operation again. The problem of nationalization is an enor- mous one. The preaent capitalization is about one billion three hundred million pounds, and stockholders number nearly half • million. Pre- war propositions tor nationalizing were all based on purchase by stock issue at 3% per cent., which woull have meant the state must pay over thirty million pounds in interest an- nually as against a then annual pro- fit on all the railways of forty-eight million pounds, but now the rate of interest is at Mast 60 per cent. g reater. In addition, the Government is pledged to embark oe a compre- hensive light railway and canal scheme, which will involve an enor- mous annual expenditure. Since nomination there has besn a decided change in the tone of the metropolitan press toward coalition. 11 is apparent that hostile press dic- tators have recognized it is useless; to oppose the inevitable. and now all the leading journals except the Asquith presa are giving a fair meas- ure of support to Lloyd George. The higher clergy of the Established Church are taking a hand in the game, and at least a dozen deans and bishops have publicly advised the support of coalition. Coalition weak- ness is due to duplication of candi- dates in sesteral constituencies. Prob- ably 1 5 constituencies will be lost to coalition by this splitting. The Prime Minister's manifesto has been well received. He promises that Germany will pay to the extent of her ability to preserve Britain to the British and to care for Britain's fighting men. He endorses a very bold and forward program affecting 'housing and health education, and child welfare, rural development, transport end electrical power. "Bol- shevism," he declares, •'is the poison of production." The Government's platform is more advanced than were the demands of the Radical party previous to the war. UNION ferotit YARDS. TORONTO, Dec. 10. -With about 6000 cattle more or less on the Union Stock Yards yesterday there was an active inquiry for butcher cattle of good quality. and for heavyweight steers. There was likewise a very strong demand for canner rows, and these classes of cattle sold at very satisfactory prices. The medium butcher cows were rather hard to sell at satisfactory prices, but the choice cows were not in any too good sopply and were wanted. There was a big run of sheep and Iambs, about 4 000 head, light lambs steady, but the market closed easier for the heavy ones; sheep steady, and calves unchanged. The hog market with run of 1 8%c fed and watered. Soldiers Were Starved. LONDON. Dec. 1 0. -Fresh evidence of the ferocious treatment of British prisoners of war captured during the tained in a further report by Justice Younger's committee. Much toebro evidence is given that prisoners be- hind the firing line were half starved and overworked. were brutally treat- ed and were forced to sleep shelter - lege and were unablye to change their clothing. A number actually died of starvation. The report shows that the Germans transferred to Eatst Pruesia and German Poland prisoners who were no longer fit to work be- hind the lines on the western front. A witness from Flensburg. East oners arrive in camp there,. There were two trains containing mostly stretcher cases. All were raving for something to eat. Some of them foupd tub refuse which they devour-. ed. Their clothing was torn and they said they hod no proper food nor medical treatment. They could hard- ly ever wash and the dirt was thick on their hands and faces. They look- ed like skeletons.

Dec. 10. - Presi- dent Poincare and the Governmental and Perliamentary party of France were given in Strasbourg, the former Gernian capital of Alsace-Lorraine, the nearest thing possible to an al; cis.' greeting in the province. Tise Diet appointed by the former Ger- man Emperor being defunct and the Landtag dissolved by its own consent, there exist no Parliamentary institu- tions. but unofficially the native Alma - liana of the defunct assembly gave President Poineare, Premier Clemen- ceau and members of his Cabinet, and several hundred members of the French Parliament and members of the diplomatic corps of the Entente Powers, including Marshals Joffre. Foch. Petain and Haig and Gen. Pershing a reception that may tw considered as having the sanction of odlcial Alsace to the reasserted auth- ority of the French Government over the, province. Strasbourg had profited from Its Mrst fortnight of release from Ger- man hands and had put on a dress that was French for the occasion. The old Kaiserplatz had become the Place de la Republique, Friedrich Karl Strange had been transformed into the Rue de la Paix. and the Rue de la Liherte had superseded another thoroughfare with a Teutonic .natne. Shop signs with German names everywhere had been revised, wiped out or covered over to conceal Ger- man connections. President Poincare arrived early in the morning and was heartily wel- comed by the populace, the keyeof the city being turned over to hint The President assured the neople that the custody of the keys would flees, - be relinquished. From the steps of the City Hall the President delivered another speech in which he said the desire of Alsace to be returned to the bosom of the mother country had been attained and that henceforth the country would be French. With the advent of peace It will re- lieve the suspense of many people in Canada to know that the casualty lists, often weeks behind, are taper- ing off to the end.
