Paris.?It appears the Germans v/ill be unable to hand over all the ?,000 locomotives stipulated in the armistice agreement by December 17, according to The Matin, and it is pos LI sible that the Allies will grant more time to the enemy. This will have the effect of dalaying peace negotiations, since they cannot begin until the armistice conditions have all been fulfilled. Discussions between the Allied dol, egations to the peace conference will j probably begin on December 20th, with President Wilson taking pari { personally.

J pi r, DECEMBER 5, 1918. | ENGLAND WILL CALL KAISER TO ACCOUNT London.:?The allies shortly wiP mal^o a concerted demand for extradition of the former kaiser, it was learned here tonight. Holland is said to be prepared to receive the demand and render a prompt decision. London.?Further indications 01" the determination of British officials to bring to trial the former kaiser, whose formal abdication was announced today, is seen in the statement of Attorney General Smith that the government will insist on his personal accountability for the crimes for which he is chiefly responsible. Smith said that "the coalition government is determined to give him an opportunity to answer the charges." Neutral dispatches said today that Wilhelm's abdication was signed Thursday. In it he renounced for: ever the throne of Germany an 1 i Prussia, and released military and civil officmls from their oaths ol loyalty. He asked them to protect the German people from the threat, of anarchy, famine and foreign domination until the new government could be strongly established. He did not mention^ any of the oth< r I lohen/.ollerns. The Berlin Abondblatt says it understands the documents of abdication already have been received in Berlin. Walter Hon, secretary of state for ! the colonics, in a spech at Bristol, 'declared that the British people "need have no anxieties of any tenderm : s being shown toward Germany."
