Washington. — Still hopeful that
court developments at Indianapolis
might point the way to an early end
ing of the coal strike, government
agencies nevertheless put forth re
newed and more determined efforts to
protect the public against distress al
most certain to result from a pro
tracted suspension of mining opera
Mons.
Realizing that the country 1s burn
ing three times as much coal as the
mines are turning out. the railroad
administration, the great coal dls
tributlng agency through its recently
created central coal committee, took
drastic action In ordering that the
supplying of coal to foreign owned
ships in American ports be stopped
immediately.

FORMER EMPEROR WILHELM 18
NOT CONSIDERED A CRIMINAL.
The Hague.—Former Emperor Wil
liam came to Holland a year ago.
Since that time there has been no
demand officially or unofficially, for
his extradition or delivery to the al
lies, nor has Holland at all changed
its viewpoint toward him.
Holland’s viewpoint as regards Wil
liam Hohenzollern. may be stated
frankly as follows:
The Netherlands, which for cen
turies dias accorded political refuge to
all. considers the former emperor and
crown prince not as royalty, but as
persons entitled to their rights as any
plain Johann Schmidt who fled to Hol
land during the war.
Holland considers the former em
peror beyond extradition, as there is
no possible way, legally to hold him
as a criminal.
