It emphasises the very grave political effects to which the relinquishment of the claims of justice against the ex-Emperor give rise and renews their demand. They point out the request does not depend on Dutch municipal law. There is no question of prestige at stake. - The Powers pay as much heed to conscientious sentiments of a State with limited interests as to the mature decision of the great Powers. It was contemplated that the tria would prepare the way for a world tribunal competent to examine inter national crimes and demonstrate the unanimity of the feeling, animating. the conscience of all nations.
The Powers point out that the Netherlands apparently does not con- sider it shares with other civilised nations the duty of securing punishment for the crimes for which William of Hohenzollern undeniably bears heavy responsibility.

BRITISH PRISONERS IN RUSSIA.
COPENHAGEN, February 14th. Mr. O'Grady and M. Litvino have signed the agreement providing, for the release of all British prisoners of war in England and in, the hands of the Archan- gel Government.
The Powers remind Holland, that if she persists in her refusal she will assume direct responsibility for sheltering a criminal and for that pro paganda so dangerous to Europe and the whole world. Its indisputable that the permanent presence of the ex-Emperor under fatally ineffectual supervision at a few kilometers distance from the German frontier where he continues to be the centre of active and increasing intrighe constitutes for the Powers that made superhuman sacrifices to destroy this mortal will be sent from Russia within a month danger, a menace they cannot be called on to accept.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S”BOMBSHELL.
AN UNCOMPROMISING REPLY.
LONDON, February 16. The dramatic decisions of the Allied Conference in London last week regarding the fate of the ex Kaiser and war criminals and the future of Constantinople, followed by President Wilson's bombshell which threatens to torpedo the proposals regarding the Yugo slavs, have stared the world deeply. They are regarded in some quarters as an indication that revisions of the Treaty of Versailles may eventually be necessary President Wilson's pote is described by his intimates at Washington as indicative of the recovery of the President's vigour and determination to intervene in affairs actively. It is understood that President Wilson's note is a long document of eight typewritten pages addressed to the Hit the difference Governments but not Italy. President Wilson examines the differences between the memorandum of December 9 to which he agreed and the Paris compromise of January 29 and declares if the cofapromise is adhered to the United States might be obliged to withdraw from the Treaty of Versailles The nature of the reply to President Wilson's memorandum has not been disclosed but it is known to be uncompromising, emphasising the complete agreement of Britain, France and Italy not merely on the subject of the Adriatic but on all questions before the Conference.
