GERMAN ASSEMBLY VOTED CONFIDENCE IN GOV'T Berlin, - March 30.—The national as- cembly today rejected a vote of lack of confidence in the government and then adopted over the votes of the German Natonalists and Independent Soeialists a motion approving the' government’s statement. ALLIED POWERS ACCEPT 5 HOLLAND'S LAST NOTE London, March 31.—The allied pow- ers have accepted Holland's last note regarding the former German emper= or, according to an Amsterdam des- pateh to the Daily Mail. The Dufch ‘government on March 5, for the second time refused to deliver the former. German emperor to the allies for trigl. This determination | was set forth in a note addressed fo the British ‘premier, which, however, declared that the Dutch government would take all necessary measures. to minimize the liberty of Wilhelm “and'| prevent him from endangering the. world’s peace. The communication state dthat pre- cautions to this end would be taken “on the spot.” It was assumed that this meant that a close guard over the former Ggrman emperor and a Strict censorship ‘would b instituted while Wilhelm occupied his estate at Deorn. ¥ ASQUITH OPPOSES HOME RULE FOR IRELAND 2 - one- and “advega . 3 in’ the Tk Tatte “today. w) n for. two parliaments fori Ireland Mr. Asquith characterized ‘as absolutely unacceptable. Particular interest ~is centered in the contest hetween the premier and former ‘premier, bath of whom aspire to the leadership of the liberty party, but as yet théy have not - come to grips. ; The fact that agitation is so wide- spread in Ireland at present lends added interest to the ultimate out- come of the bill before the house, but the real fight will not begin until the dommittée stage is reached. Mr. Asquith spoke today against the bill, but, contrary to expectations, Mr. Lloyd George deferred his re- marks until tomorrow. For the mo- ment unreality seems to surround the debate, and today’s proceedinzs fail- ed to arouse much excitement. The arguments take two principal direc- tions; from the opponents of the bill that it is useless to press the meas- ure, as it is certain to be contemptu- ously rejected by the Irish peopl and, from) the supporters of the bi that to grant seif-determination un- der existing conditions would be equivaleflt to consenting to the proc- lamation of an Irish republic, which no sane government could permit. After the principal speakers, Mr. Asquith and Andrew Bonar Law, the debate was confined to minor mem- bers. The hope that Sir Edward Car- son, the Ulster Unionist leader, would speak, was not fulfilled. The holiday spirit seemed to pervade the house; which gradually ‘emptied, and the de. bate was adjourneq at 11 o'clock at git: » Sir ‘Donald MacLean ywill resume the: debate.tomérrew, with Premier Lloyd George, and William Adams, lahor lgader, as the chief - speakers. There may be a division, to enable! adjournment for Easter. MARY PICKFORD WEDS DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS Los Angeles, Calif.

As the delegation was leaving the executive ' chambers the gevernor said: “T am glad that I heard the he- arguments on the proposition.” Throughout the meeting today the governor paid more attention to the arguments than he has been accus- tomed to show and was evidently im- pressed with the manner in which the case was presented to him.
