RESENTS SINKING OF BOAT
If Submarine Sank kotWyk, Holland
Will Hold Germany Responsible
For Act.

London.-Although it is not yet GER
tain that German submarine boat
was responsible for the sending to the
bottom of the Dutch steamer Katwyk,
off the North Hinder Lightship, the
sinking of the vessel has aroused the
indignation of the Dutch people, as
evidenced by the editorials OF newspa-
pers in Holland.
The Katwyk, loaded with grain from
Baltimore, consigned to the Dutch gov
ernment, is reported to have been ly-
ing at anchor at the time of the ex-
plosion and to have been flying the
Dutch flag. The Dutch newspapers
insist that no mistake could have been
made and that If German submarine
actually torpedoed the steamer I'VE
must expect that the German govern
ment will, without loss of time, be
made responsible for this severe vio-
lation Of the rights of neutral powers"
The fact that the Dutch government
was directly involved In the Katwyk's
cargo, and that the news of the sink
ing OF the steamer came Immediately
on top of the announcement that four
Dutch trawlers had been seized by the
Germans and taken to Zeebrugge. ap.
parently has heightened the feelings
Of the Hollanders.
Next in interest to the sinking OF
the Katwyk was the publication of q
white paper" showing that Great
Britain acknowledged that British
cruisers had sunk The German cruiser
Dresden in Chilean territorial waters
and had apologized for the action OF
her squadron.

ing in the Carpathians Ia the most tre.
mendous struggle that the war has yet
produced. 1t is computed that the
forces of concentration on this por-
tion of the frontier is still proceeding.
It Is impossible to say when it will
stop. All the other sectors of the line
have become absolutely subordinate
to the stupendous fight for the ridge
separating Galicia from Hungary.
Any show of aggression made by
the enemy elsewhere is probably with
the sole object of the detention OF
Russian troops that might be thrown
into the scales In the Carpath1ans. 1t
seems certain that the issue of this
battle will have great influence on the
future course of the campaign.
The adoption of the offensive by the
allies on the west front is lending
Russia material support, as 1t pre-
vents the Germans from drawing re-
endorsements from that quarter. Rus
sia by accepting battle on SO large a
scale at the present moment, when
general acquiescence was anticipated
on this front, is tightening the imme-
date task Of Great Britain and France.
1t is likely that the Germans, by
transfer Of their troops to Hungary,
hope by violent blow temporarily to
exhaust the strength of Russia and so
leave themselves free to turn their
attention to- Belgium and France with
redoubled energy. 1t is believed that
Germany has absorbed all her STRAIT
egic reserves and can REINFORCE one
front only at the expense of the other.

GRADE CROSSING is FATAL
Train Crashes Into Street Car
at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich.-Thirteen persons, 10
of them women, were killed and n in
iured In collision between Detroit
city street car and freight train on
the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad.
Three Of the injured are expected to
die.
Hours after the accident only three
of the dead had been identified. They
were: Miss Gail Gladys George, a
school teacher, Mrs. Zepak Wagergas
and Louis Kornich. Most of the VIC
Tins lived in Detroit's foreign quarter.
The street car, crowded with passen-
gers homeward bound from their days
work, stopped as it approached the
railroad crossing and the conductor
ran ahead to see if the track was clear.
He signalled the motorman to wait,
but apparently the latter, who is said
to have been inexperienced, misunder-
stood his meaning. He applied the
power and the car ran rapidly down
an incline and onto the railroad track.
The freight cars pushed by the en-
CINE struck the street car fairly in the
middle, smashing it almost to bits.
The wreckage was pushed along a
hundred feet, several of the dead and
injured dropping along the street De-
fore the train was stopped. Others
were crushed in the splintered mass
of steel and wood and 1t was several
hours before they could be extricated.
AS the dead were taken from the
debris they were laid in a row along
the street pending the arrival OF the
coroner. Later they were removed to
undertaking establishments.
Many private automobiles rushed to
the scene of the accident and these,
with the ambulances, carried the IN
jured to the hospitals. Several OF the
injured were so badly hurt, it was
said, they may die.

Damage Done.
London.-Taking advantage of fine
weather, German airships have made
three recent visits to England. The
last visit was made by German aero
plane, which flew over the county Of
Kent, dropping bombs. In all, four
missiles were dropped-in the vicinity
of the towns of Faversham and Sitting
bourne, the latter just across the Bugle
from the Isle of Sheppey, which is the
birthplace of the British royal naval
flying corps.
ALI of the bombs fell in fields.
From Sittingbourne the aerOplane

the towns attacked for Sherness, the
British naval base, which is on the
other side of the island. On his way
the airman passed over Canterbury
and other towns in Kent, but did not
loose any explosives upon or near
them.
Zeppelins, it is believed, also visited
East Anglia and dropped some 25 IN
cendiary and explosive bombs on Lo-
westoft, Southweld, Maldon, Burnham-
on-the-C Crouch, Heybridge and Tilling-
ham, but, like previous raids, only ma
terial damage was done, although
many persons had narrow escapes. In
