WAR ON HOLLAND?
The Report as Persistent in London but
Not Confirmed.

London, April 9.-There were persist
ont rumors in London last evening that
Germany had either declared war on Hol-
land or that her troops had occupied that
strip of Dutch territory which extends
from the Belgian frontier on the coast
to the river Scheldt. The reports lack
confirmation and are not credited by
those who should know if either ac-
ton had been taken.
1t is possible that the reports arose
from the news received in the last few
days from Dutch sources that the Ger
mans were strengthening the positions
around the Dutch frontier and that much
uneasiness prevailed at The Hague and
other Dutch cities as result of the
seizure or sinking of Dutch steamers by
German submarines.
The Dutch are strongly opposed to
in the war, but their army
is ready to repel any invasion of Dutch
territory, complete preparationsw with that
object having been made long ago.

LOSS OF LIFE HEAVIEST
SINCE SOISSONSI
No Confirmation Has Come
Of the Rumor That Ger
many Has Declared War
on Holland, Alt h o u G h
There Is Great Activity on
Dutch Border

On both the western and eastern fronts
battles are in progress which may vitality
affect the future course of the war. In
French territory between the Meuse and
the Moselle rivers, the allies are attempt
ing to force bick the German wedge. The
Paris war office claims large amount of
ground has been won, but Berlin con-
tradcts the assertion. The loss of life
is probably heavier than in any other en-
gagement in the west since the battle of
scissors.
In the east the struggle is being car
ried on furiousIy along the Carpathian
front, particular Importance attaching to
the fighting in the Beskids, over which
the Russians are attempting to force
their way to the plains of Hungary.
Although 1t is reported in Petrograd
that the Austrian army has been cut in
clear road to Hungary, Vienna insists
that effective resistance is still being of
fered.
Italy continues military reparations,
but no decision has been reached to par
tcipate in the war. King Constantine
OF Greece is reported as saying that his
country ia in a position similar to Italy,
having made military preparations with
out abandoning neutrality. The king
eounsels policy of prudence.
Nothing has come to hand TO confirm
the rumor circulate yesterday that Ger
many had declared war upon Holland.
Military movements are reported along
the Dutch border, but such ctivity con-
tinually has marked Hollands uneasy
neutrality in the past and consequently |
it IL not considered Of marked signifi. |

QUARRIES CLOSING
DOWN TIGHT
Fires Being Drawn and Pumps Stopped
Because Chances of Early Settle
ment Seem Remote.

Following the meeting OF the Quarry
Owners association yesterday, most of
the quarries on the hill began pulling
their fires this morning. With the ex-
pectation that there would be an early
settlement with all the unions in Barre,
the quarry owners kept steam and pumps
going ON the quarries when the suspen-
sion came on March !, and they have
kept them going ever since. This has
entailed considerable expense, and with
no prospect Of an immediate change in
conditions fires are being drawn to cut
expenses. No meetings of any kind are
being held or are scheduled 10 be held
to-day in barre. The situation seems to
be deadlocked.
