Holland Is Irritated.

THE HAGUE. via London. April IT,
Further ministerial conferences have
been held to consider the sinking OF
the Dutch steamer Katwyk, from Bal
timore for Rotterdam, with a cargo OF
grain consigned to the Netherlands
government. in the North sea, Wednes-
day night. The sinking Of the steamer
without warning has aroused the most
widespread public irritation and has
called forth singing protests from all
the newspapers. even those inclined to-
ward the German side.
The papers say there appears no
doubt that a German submarine was
guilty, and tho question is asked gen.
orally whether the captain Of the sub
marine was acting against specific in
structions to avoid sinking neutral
ships, or whether tho orders recently
were changed by Germany.
Warning to Germany.
AMSTERDAM. via London. April II.
The publication here of the full de-
tails of the sinking OF the Dutch
steamer Katwyk has intensified the
Indignation to which the leading pa
pers give expression in strong Ian
guage.
The Algemeen Handelsblad denounces
the sinking of the steamer as "an
unfriendly act. giving us the full right
to draw the sword and Join the en-
emies of Germany" The paper warns
the German government 1t Is mistaken
in assuming that whatever 1t does.' -
Dutch territory, the Netherlands will
maintain their neutrality and that any
attacks against Dutch subjects or prop
erty will be endured

German bombardment

Several gains for German arms are
reported from Berlin today French at
tacks at Flirey are said to have been
beaten back. In Champagne northwest
of Perthes, a group of French fortifica-
tions were stormed by the Germans and
the French were unable to regain them
in counter attacks, according to the
Teuton statement Germans also cap
tured a French position northwest OF
Urbeis in the Vosges. 1t is asserted.
Berlin admits that on the south slope

a German point of support was lost

Mr.. Williams states that no other

Sullivan. Dr.. Ferguson was
