The Dutch government on March for the second time refused to deliv- CT the former German emperor to the allies for trial. Its determination was set forth in a note addressed to the British premier, which, how even, declared the Dutch govern ment, would take all necessary mea- sures to minimize the liberty of Will helm and prevent him from endan- gering the worlds peace.
 The communication stated that precautions to that end would be taken "on the spot.'' It was as sumed that it is meant a close guard over him and a strict censorship would be instituted while Wilhelm occupied his estate at Doorn.

MILITARY TRAINING
OPPOSED BY WATSON;
LETTER Tells STAND

Replying to an inquiry addressed to
Kim by Mr.. S. E. Nicholson, of Rich
mond, as to his attitude on the ques-
ton of compulsory military training
for American boys, Senator James E.
Watson states that he opposed such a
policy when it was voted upon in the
Senate at the last session. Senator
Watson's letter to Mr.. Nicholson,
dated October &c, reads:
Dear Mr.. Nicholson:

ence to my position relative to Com

The Marriage Route

Tommy's business is to make out
the certificate. The process of mar
riage at the Municipal Building is
as follows:
Thirty minutes CT .hereabouts are
spent in the city clerks Office on the
second floor, answering questions
and getting the license, for which 81
is paid. The candidates then ascend
one fight and appear before Tommy
Douglas and hand him the license.
He fills out a blank from the infor-
nation contained in the license and
says to the bridegroom, "Sign here. "
The bridegroom, the bride and the
witnesses sign and Tommy says,
1.-TWO dollars" The bridal party
then files into a large, gloomy, bare
walled room furnished with half a
dozen rosewood banquettes. Usu-
ally fifteen or twenty minutes are

look at the color of her hair or her
eyes; at least, not before they're
married. Afterward he may look
at it whole lot and talk about
it, too. Besides, what can you tell
about the color of a girls hair these
days? All you can tell is the color
they show you, and they can make it
anything they like. If girl wants
to land a young fellow and she
thinks he likes blondes, she'll be a
blonde, and II she thinks he likes dark
hair she'll have dark hair. You can't
tell anything about it by looking at
them, any more than you can tell
what their skin is like underneath
their compilations. But why don't
you see Mr.. Cruise? He's the ex-
pert on marrying"

sportsmanship which is worth relat-
ing.
1t was on the twelfth hole, I think,
that the ladies' ball lay about five
feet and the mems ball about two
feet from the hole, each side need
ing to drop their putt for halved
hole. The men magnanimously sug-
gested conceding both puts and call
ing it halved hole. But Miss Cecil
Leitch said, s"No, we'll put it out"
Miss Mary Leitch, whose turn it was,
hesitated, but seeing her sister was
firm, she said, "All right, you are
MASTER" and, stepping up to the
ball, sank the five-foot putt. Then
the men missed their short putt and
the ladies won the hole. And the
professional of the club who was
watching the match said, with
twinkle in his eye, "There you are
always put it out--that's my
theory"
English women are also going in
for the moro vigorous games. There
are women's lacrosse and hockey
teams which play every week end be-
fore large crowds, and now we have
women playing football. Recently
$4,000 people gathered to see an
English women's football team play
a team Of French girls who had
coma tosEngland for a series of
matches. The English team won
and atthe end Of the game the two
captain3kissed' each other, showing
that there was good feeling and fem
ininity1 to the end. The fact that
these teams are composed chiefly of
businessAgirls who have only eve-
nings and Saturdays in which to
practice does not prevent them from
playing a fast and interesting game.
And at tennis, the best loved
game Of all over here, women long
ago established themselves in the
first ranks and are holding their own.
OF course, when one turns from the
top ranks to the realm Of the aver
age players one finds women even
more active in maintaining their
claims for equal rights by the old
adage, factions speak louder than
words."

bonds of wcdlock."
"There isn't anything holy about
it down here" Tommy interrupted,
but it's legal"
However," the visitor continued,
"thcre is one more chance. Why is
it that dark-haired men marry
blondes and the other way about?"
"They DON'T" said Tommy. "At
least, some do and some don't, but
most Of 'em don't. 1t depends on
how they feel about it. When a
young fellow likes girl he don't

City Hall on Thursday"
t'You make this subject extremely
interesting" said the visitor. "Why
do people choose this place to get
married in?"
Just to Get Married
"They have all kinds Of reasons"
Tommy replied, "but it's mostly
because they want to get married.
Sometimes, it's because they have
to. We have a lot Of foreigners
come here, and over there, you
know, they have to have a civil
ceremony before they have the re-
ligious one. Of course, we don't
have to have that here, but the old
folks that were born on the other
side don't know that. The young
folks born here understand how it
is, but they come down here and
have the civil ceremony to please
the old folks"
A young couple came in and
Tommy ground them through the
mill. They had no witnesses with
them and the visitor remarked to
Tommy:
81 thought there had to be two
witnesses to marriage here"
"There does," said Tommy, "but
they don't always bring their wit
nesses with them. Then we," in
dicating his assistant, "act as wit
nesses. You can't always tell why
people are getting married. May
be, they don't want any witnesses.

"Well, III tell ,"ssaid Tommy,

at home with her mother and the
rest Of the family. The landlord
boosts the rent. Emma and Tommy
are engaged, SO they come down here
and get married. Tommy goes home
with Emma, and Ella, who has been
sleeping with Emma, Is kicked out
of Emma's bed and goes to sleep
with one Of the other sisters. Tommy
takes her place and on Saturday

WOMEN are now
~. fighting their battles for
equality on the fields of

\NGL1Ca WOMEN are now
fighting their battles for
equality on the fields of
sport.
AT this time Of year England
loses her dark, damp dress of win
ter and suddenly becomes trans
formed into one vast green play
ground. Every city square and
country field is the scene of the
many outdoor games with which
English men and women love to fill
the hours between 5 o'clock and
dark.
A larger part than ever before Is
being played by English women in
the sportssof this particular spring
OF 1920, and it seems as if they were
trying to show the men, by their
skill, endurance and good sports
manship In this field Of activity. that
their claims for equal rights are
justified. They are meeting the
men on their own grounds and at
least making them work hard for
victory.
On the beautiful course OF the
Stoke Poges Golf Club the champion
women golfers recently played the
champions among the men. was
among q gallery Of about a hundred
enthusiasts who followed the play Of
MISS Cecil Leitch against II. H. dc
Montmorency, plus 5 man. So
equal and steady were the shots of
both that it was quito impossible to
say which would win until the match
was nearly over, and when Miss
Leftch was beaten on the sixteenth
green one felt that 1t was the ever
present element of luck rather than
any lack Of skill which had caused
1t.
In tho afternoon there was a two
bail fotrsome match in which Miss
Lsdtch and her sister Mary played
against Mr.. Wethered.and Mr.. ToL
ley. OF the Oxford University team,
and IN this match the ladies gave
cns very striking example OF. good
