HOLLAND In RAGE
GERMANS SINK
DUTCH STEAMER
Katwyk, Bearing Cargo
for Netherlands Govern
ment, Torpedoed.

London, April 15.-The popular indig-
nation aroused in Holland against Ger
many, as shown in newspaper comment
throughout the Netherlands, appears
to be the grsvest result Of the latest
attacks by submarines, one OF which
sank the steamer Katwyk off the North
Hinder Lightship last night while she
was carrying cargo Of grain consigned
TO the Dutch government and was fly
ing the Dutch flag. Four steam traw-
lers, also carrying the flag Of Holland
were seized by German warships and
taken into Cuxhaven.
The loss of life in the raids y
undersea craft reported to-day was con-
fined to the British steamer Ftarmg gan,
which also was torpedoed near 'he
North Sea lghtship. Eight of her
crew of seventeen were drowned.
Incident Regarded as Grave.
The sinking of the Katwyk is con-
sidered at The Hague as the gravest
incident of the submarine warfare, as
it directly affects the Dutch govern
ment. While awaiting further details
Of the torpedoing of the steamer, the
ministerial departments concerned dis
cussed the matter to-day, but declined
to make a statement.
As the Katwyk, loaded with grain
from Baltimore, was lying at anchor
at the time Of the explosion and flying
the Dutch ensign the newspapers OF
Holland insist that no mistake could
have been made, and that If Ger
man submarine actually torpedoed the
steamer the German government
should be made responsible immedi-
ately.
The fact that the news Of the sink
ing of the steamer came Immediately
on top of the announcement that the
four trawlers had been seized apparent
ly heightened the feelings of the Hol-
landers.

that he was given the alternative be-
tween death and New Mexico. He
had made the sensible choice. He
went with regret, because he was in
love with Mary, and he dreaded the
rivals that fiocked about the wealthy
heiress.
Marry me and come with me" he
had urged. 49,: ,...
Mary declined. Cold-hearted, she
was not going to bury herself in New
Mexico with a man who might not
live out the year. But she promised
to be true to him.
And her letters, gay and full of
stories of her home life, had made
him incredibly homesick = until he
met Juanita.
Now, riding homeward, he knew
that Mary was only the pale shadow
of his love; that Juanita had his
heart and always would have it. He
was going home because as a man of
honor there was no other course.
And he was going home cured.
He had not heard from his fiancee
for several weeks. And Ralph had |
dared TO nope WnaC ne naQ Once<I
feared = that she, too, had learned |
that her heart lay in another's keep
ing.
A week later he stepped off the
platform of the Grand Central station
in New York. AS he rode in a taxi
cab toward the home of his f1ancee
the solution of his problem came to
him at last Why should he make
two lives unhappy tiff Mary did
not care for him He would be as
frank with her as she had always
been with him.
He descended at the door. When
he rang the butler stared at him in
amazement; the man remembered
him and had thought that he would
never return.

sense Of change. Ralph thought the
butler had seemed less courteous
than formerly. The furniture was
covered, the room had not been dust
ed for some time. Ralph wondered
he was conscious of something which
added to the pain of the approaching
interview. When it was all over he
must hurry home to his folks in AL
bany, stay awhile, tell them of Juan

Mary stood before him. She had
come in so quietly that Ralph had not
heard her. There was strange look
in her eyes. She shrank away from
him, staring hard.
81 happened to- be home" Ralph
heard her saying. .-..
But, Mary, Mary"
you have not heard?"
Heard what?"
"Sit down." she answered calmly.
81 see you do not know. l am a poor
woman, Ralph. My father was in
volved in the crash of the banks last
month. / couldn't write - l didn't
know what you would think"
The young mans heart sank, his
hopes ebbed, vanished. He seemed
plunged into an abyss from which
there was no escape. He understood
the GOODNESS of her greeting now She
was prepared to release him. She
thought he would not want to marry
her when her father was bankrupt
And that was what made his plans
How could he ask her
to release him now? The face of
Juanita shone upon the background
of his spiritual vision.
Mary, it doesn't make any differ
ence," he heard himself saying.
She was staring at him. "Any diff
feFence?" she echoed.

as high as he can make it, in keeping
with the value OF petroleum.
Col. Love. in speaking of the COM
mission. said that it would track the
.aw. If the commissioners and the
producers disagree as to what the
law is, the producers have a right to
appeal to the supreme court.
When asked what effect the orders
of the commission would have upon
the operation of the Ardmore Rein
cry, Col. Love said his attention had
not been called to that feature OF
the case, but said that some means
should be found whereby the refin-
cry could be operated without work
ing an injustice upon any OF the prop
critics of the field.
We will play no fayorites. we-will
track the law as we understand it,"
said Col Love He also expressed
the opinion that the hearing could
be completed during the afternoon.
Col. George c. Greer is here as an
attorney for the Corsicana Petroleum
company. He said the complaint OF
the producers was against the W. Il
F. Oil company and all others SINH
larly situated 1t is rather broad
in its language, and the Corsicana
company might be interested in the
results Col. Greer is naturally de-
sirous of learning just what the COM
mission will expect, so that he can
direct his companies in obedience TO
orders issued by the commission.
The commission has no precedent
10 guide it. There was never just
such law enacted by any other
state in the union. the legislature
has gone beyond the efforts made by
any other state TO control the petrol
cum industry and the commission is
in new fields OF thought in its du-
ties connected with the regulation
OF the production and sale of petrol
cum The bill evidently provides
means for the controlling OF the
price OF oil and it is barely possible
that the commission will later enter
orders controlling the prices Of Pc
troleum But a wide scope OF in
formation will be required to iutelli-
gently guide the commission in that
feature OF the law, and ii is not at
all probable that any price regula.
ton will be attempted at this hearing
The hearing is attracting much at.
tention over the state and newspapers
are anxious TO get full reports Of the
proceedings.

The attitude of Judge Henshaw is

that will equalize sales among all
