The Supreme Council considered a reply to the Dutch Note of January 23. It is understood the reply will not repeat the demand for the surrender of the exKaiser, but will point out the undesirability of retaining him in Holland, both in the interest of Holland and of the peace of Europe.

The Council also considered the German informal reply regarding the war criminals. It is understood Germany declined to surrender the latter, but offered to try them before a German tribunal. It is expected that the Council's final answer will be drafted this afternoon, and immediately telegraphed to Germany.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
