mans propose, according to the Berlin
reports. to use the city as base for
operations against England.
So long as Great Britain commands
the sea no great part of the German
navy could use the ports. even should
Germany ovcrrule Hollands objection
to the use Of the Scheldt by belliger-
ent ships. Germany, it is thought, may
claim that, being in possession of the
city, she acquires Belgium's right to
use the river on equal terms with the
Dutch and will proceed to build de-
stroyers and submarines there to men,
ace the British fleet.
II Holland should allow thees yes
sells to pass through the Scheldt, Eng
land, 1t is declared, would certainly
proclaim 1t breach of neutrality. In
any case, Hollands position becomes
more and more uncomfortable.
Have Maintained Position.
In France. according to the French
communication. the allies have main
tanned their position in spite OF vio-
lent attacks at several points. The
cavalry still is engaged along the
Be1eian frontier and across it, each
side trying to work around the other
wing. This movement has compelled.
the Germans to Withdraw some troops
from other Joints OF the line and the
allies are selling the opportunity to
make headway.

have attained real advantage i'm sew
