It is understood that the repre- sentatives of the allies in conference with the foreign ministry today were unanimously in favor of demanding that Holland hand over to the allies the former German Emperor and former Crown Prince. Preliminary Arrangements, In the absence of the American and other allied representatives, it is understood the conference made all the preliminary arrangements pos- sible for the peace conference. Four separate conferences were held today, one of the main purposes being to secure the indorsement by the representatives of the Dominion of the conclusions reached at Mon-. day's conference. Therefore, Pre- miers Borden of Canada, Lioyd of New Foundland, Hughes of Austra- Wa, and Gen. Jan Christian Smuts from the Union of South Africa, were called tnto consultation with the British Cabinet members con- cerning the affairs of the Dominions. Premier Lioyd George presided a: all the meetings.
