DUTCH INTERESTS
 TOBE SAFEGUARDED
Allies So Declare in An nOuncing German
 Blockade

London, March 2S.-U2.45 a. m.)--A Reuter- dispatch from The Hague says.
 According 10 diplomatic papers communicated to- Parliament tonight. the British and French ministers at The Hague, in announcing the counter measures against the German blockade. assured the Dutch government that the interests of The Netherlands ard her colonies would be safeguareed 10 the utmost degree.
 "In letters. dated March 19. to tl.e British and French ministers. the Dutch foreign minister pointed our that the Dutch government. without critici2ing the measures of the hfllig- erents, must protest against measures encroaching on the rights of the Dutch government as a neutral power ac- cording to international laws.
 The letters are identical, but in view of Article VIII of the British or der in council it is added in the let ter 10 the British minister thas the Dutch government is unable to give the declaration asked therein, because it considers such declaration contrary to it's neutral duties"
 Article VIII of the British order i'll council reads
 Nothing in this order shall pre- vent the relaxation of the provisions of this order in respect of the mer- chant vessels Of any country, which declares that no commerce intended Tor, or originating in, Germany, or be longing to German subjects shah ell joy the protection of it's flag"

SOUTH MAY LOSE MILLIONS IN WAR CLAIMS AGAINST US.
Department of Justice In depreciation of Omnibus Bill Would Throw the
 Cases Out of Court

Washington March 22-Claims aggre- gating s14,00o,0OO many of them growing out of damage done in the south by fed eral troops during the war between the states will be thrown out of court if the court of claims sustains an interpreta- tion placed by the department of justice on provision of the omnibus claims bill passed by the last Congress.
 Assistant Attorney General Thompson, in charge of the cases, has notified coun- sel for claimants and interested mem bers of Congress of the departments con tention, and the point probably will be argued before the court in the near future
 The department bases it's position on section five of the new law, which pro- vides that hereafter the court of claims shall not have Jurisdiction over any claims against the United States govern ment growing out of property damage, use of stores and supplies or occupation of real estate by the military and naval forces of the United States during the w2r between the states or over ''any claim now barred by the provisions of any law of the United States
 According to the department inter- pretation, this nullifies the section of the judicial code under which Congress has referred to the court of claims hundreds of cases for a report as to whether the statute of limitations should be waived A decision will not affect any of the claims for which appropriations already have been made.
 Pending the courts decision, the de- partment has ordered it's field agents to suspend investigation of all the cases in yolved.

London. March 23-(2:51 a. m.)-The Daily Telegraphs Rotterdam corres- pondent sends the following account Of the captain of the British steamer Elf land of an alleged attack on the steamer under charter by Belgian relief commits sion, by a German areoplane
 Because we were carrying foodst Iffs and clothing for the Belgian relief com mission, we did not expect an attack all though as soon as the areoplane was sighted, we put on full speed. When the intention to attack became evident I ordered a zig-zag course to make my ship difficult target
 Five bombs were thrown, one of them falling so near the ship that fragments of the bursting shell fell on the deck The airman was still maneuvering over head when British torpedo boat de- stroyers were sighted coming to our as- sistance. Thereupon. the areoplane fled toward land. The Elfland carried two Belgian relief commission flags, each 50 feet long"

 GATHERING DATA ON SINKING OF FRYE

Washington, March 22.-State de- partment officials have gathered vir- tually all data preparatory to request ing Germany to make reparation for the sinking of the American ship Will liam P. Frye by the Prinz Eitel Fried- rich.
 No word has been received from the Berlin government concerning the case, it was said, and the note setting forth the views of the Washington govern ment probably will be sent in a few days. The papers signed by the Frye's owners before the vessel left Seattle, Wash. reached the treasury depart- ment. It is understood they bear our published reports that the cargo was consigned to order at Queenstown 1re- land, and do not show any subsequent sale to an English firm
 The American complaint will be that there was no proof that the foodstuffs were destined to the belligerent forces of Great Britain. The general belief IS that the German government will make reparation for the loss of ship and car go, and thattthe incident will be closed shortly.
