Regard Rejection as Vote of
Lack of Confidence

PARIS. March 81. The Senate to-
night adopted a bill granting the pro-
vlsional credits asked by the govern
ment. The application was approved
after Premier Millerand had told the
session that if a vote of confidence
were refused by rejection the govern

den. Only eight Senator'S voted against
the measure.
The Senate listened to a lively dis
cusson of the financial difficulties of

the new loan had produced more than

Premier Millerand concluded by ex-
pressing the earnest desire of the

French interests to facilitate the task
of the German government.
Semi official Interpretation of the
letter Of Premier Millerand is that
there is no longer any question of per-
