tlowland through the hills to Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital, and thence takes it's
course along the valley Of the Martha,
through central Bulgaria, to Mustafa

south and east, it crosses the. Martha
and follows a well protected course
through the center of European Tir-

The only link In this famous oyer.
land route Of Elrope's to the Orient,
which is not under the control Of the
Allies Of the central powers, is that
within Serbia. This link represents q
stretch Of about 175 miles, being about
125 miles from Belgrade to Nish and
about forty miles from Nish to the Bull

course Of the Bull tinople
route Is paral1eled by chains OF hills
and mountains, capable Of most stub

SINKING OF DUTCH SHIP
JUSTIFIED BY GERMANY
Consents. However, That the Cues
ton Shall Be Taken Before
Prize Court.

LONDON. April 1S.-Replying to the
Dutch note protesting against the
sinking of the Dutch steamer Media by
German submarine and the seizure
by a submarine of the Dutch steamers
Batavier v and Zaanstroom, Germany
has expressed the opinion that the
action of her submarines was in ac-
cordance with the terms of the declara-
tion of London. says Reuters Amster-
dam correspondent.
Germany announces, however" the
correspondent adds. that she has de-
cided to submit the question of justif1-
cation to a prize court as soon as pos
sible Assurances are given in the
German reply that there is no question
of any change in the political attitude OF
Germany toward Holland. Holland. in
her protest. had said that international
law did not recognize the destruction
of neutral prizes as in the case of the
Media, and that. moreover. the destruc-
tion of this ship was not proportion
ate to the strategic aim of preventing
her cargo of oranges reaching hos
tile country.
