(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND C4RLE ASSOCIATION.)
LONDON, 25th November
The Daily Mail, in stating that the Government expects the trial of the exKaiser to begin in London in the New Year, says that, in completing the necessary arrangements, it- has been necessary to wait for the formal ratification of the Peace Treaty before requesting the Dutch Government to surrender him. Ratification is confidently expected within a few weeks, when a united request for the ex-Kaiser's surrender will be presented to the Dutch Government. This request will be complied with, and -the trial will then take place. No limit is prescribed for the severity of the penalty if the ex-Kaiser is found guilty. No arrangements have been made to exclude the death penalty.
Private advices from Berlin state that the Inquiry Commission found largely against the ex-Kaiser. The report will be made public at the end of the week.
