HOLLAND DEMANDS
SAFETY FOR SHIPS
Protests Both to Berlin and
London Against War Zone
Dangers.

THE HAGUE, Feb. 16.-The Neither
lands has presented notes of protest at
the same moment to Germany and Great
Britain regarding, respectively. the war
zone order and the use of neutral flags.
Diplomats here who have been awaiting
action of this kind, were not surprised
when it was announced the Dutch Min
lister at Berlin had been instructed to
hand the note to the German Foreign
Office, the other note being communicated
to Great Britain at the same time.
Following are the salient points of the
contents of the note communicated to the
German Foreign Office:
First. The Government of the Neither
lands denies the imputation that 1t has
duct of commercial affairs. in embargo
acts or otherwise.
Second. As the Netherlands Govern
ment protested against the British dec
laration of the North Sea as a war zone.
so II now protests against the German
declaration of q stretch of water sur
rounding the British Isles as theatre
of war.
Third. The Netherlands Government
declares the possible hoisting OF a neutral
flag by an enemy merchantmen would not
excuse German warships in sinking
merchantmen on suspicion, without arrest
or search. In case a Dutch ship were
thus attacked and sunk the Netherlands
would hold Germany responsible.

BLOCKADE OF FOES COAST
BOLD MOVE FOR BRITAIN
Enforcement of Expected Proclamation Would Mean
Reversal of Present Policy, Experts Declare.
Would Be Signal for Great Sea Battle

The sending of blockading force TO
the German coasts would necessarily be
attended with heavy losses, for those
coasts bristle with fortihcations and
their waters are strewn thick with mine
fields There is also the German fleet
always to be reckoned with. Numeri-
caly inferior as ii is, the Kaiser's sea
force would be fighting in Its own waters
and would have so great strategic ad-
vantage that it could account for many
of the enemy's ships before being either
destroyed or bottled up in harbor.
The consensus of opinion here is that
a great naval battle would necessarily
preCede the establishment of a blockade
that neutral Powers would be forced to
recognize as binding. Whether Britain
is prepared to risk much Is de-
batable question among the experts
1t was intimated in some quarters that
the threat of a blockade was the British
solution of the question raised with the
United States over the Wilhelmna case.
In other words, Britain, instead of rely
ing upon its claim to the right of declar-
ing all food absolute contraband, pro-
poses to accomplish the same result by
proclaiming a blockade of the enemy's
coast.

BERLIN, Feb. IS.
Zeppelin airships will participate In the
Blockade OF the British coast, the Vos-
eiche zeitung announced on official au-
thority today. II is understood that the
aircraft will be used to drop bombs upon
British ships that escape from the sub
marine Gordon to be established in Eng
ilsh waters.
The Lokai Anzeiger states that Ger
many Is prepared to strew the British
coast with mines. This statement aroused
the belief here that German mine layers
are hidden In inaccessible recesses OF the
British coast and are ready to move
as soon as the blockade Is begun.
That Britain will attempt to embroil
Germany and neutral nations Is the hint
made In an official statement Issued by
the German press bureau today. 1t fol-
lows:
ut is believed in German shipping
circles that II will aid Bngland's interests
IL conflicts arise between Germany and
neutral states. 1t is not improbable,
therefore. that neutral ships will be pur-
poseiy sunk by British submarines.
ssIt Is also known that England has laid
large numbers of mines against German
submarines."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.

The announcement from London that
King George will Issue a proclamation
declaring blockade of the German
coasts has caused much interest among
naval experts here, who believe that such
step would be one of the most moment
GUS that Great Britain has taken since
the outbreak of the war.
1t is pointed out that such blockade.
in order to be made effective, would
neccssitate the presence of British war
ships in German territorial waters,
which they have studiously avoided at all
times, except UPON the occasion of the
Helgoland raid months ago. A blockade
that kept the British vessels in their
home ports would be as much a paper
blockade as If England had no navy at
all with which to enforce the Kings de-
cree. But whether the British Admiralty
Is prepared to reverse its policy of keep
ing the greater part OF its naval forces
in safe harbors, and thereby maintain
ing it's superiority in sea power, is open
to question.

BERLIN, Feb, 10.
rhe American Government, press and
public apparently do not realize to what
extent and depth the bitterness of feeling
throughout Germany against Americans
Is spreadlng. with the German press
daily publishing dispatches tending to
show that the United States is siding
more and more with the Allies, andNwith
the reprlntlng of dispatches taken from
the British newspapers indicating ex-
treme hostility toward Germany, the
people Of Germany are becoming worked
up to a point which It would be difficult
TO exaggerate. offlcials and American
citizens here cannot disguise their fears
that some incident will occur which will
lead to a serious crisis.
wounded officers and men from the
front openly charge that the German
losses are becoming much greater now
that the French are using American
manufactured arms and ammunition. This
has created an atmosphere which, to put
1t mildly is becoming more and more
frigid daily for Americans, Although
hitherto the Germans have maintained
an attitude of calmness and composure
toward American business they are now
beginning to complain bitterly. For in
stance, the peasants and land owners OF
Bavaria and elsewhere are now refusing
to buy agricultural implements manufac-
tured I'm the United States.
The Berliner Zeitung yesterday pub
lished a pamphlet which, it charged, was
prepared by former President Theodore
Roosevelt urging the United States to
Join the Allies and crush Germany.
The Berlin Tageblatt reprinted today n
dispatch from an English newspaper
which says that American officers have
resigned from the army and are apply
ing for naturalization as Brltishers in
missions in an American brigade. 1000
strong being formed to fight for Eng
land.
These are fair samples of the state
ments which are being published which
are creating the anti-American feeling
Americans throughout Germany are no
longer wearing the tiny American flags
in their buttonholes that were so notice
able and so generally applauded in the
early days of the war.
The Embassy and the Consulates here
are being deluged with letters from Ger
mans friendly to America and from Ger
an-Americans the tenor of which is:
How can we answer a man who, asks
us why America sells ammunition to kill
our sons and then expects us also to
buy agricultural implements from the
United States?"
A prominent German society leader,
who hitherto has been most friendly with
Americans, entertaining them In her
home, has now caused it to be announced
that henceforth Americans will not be
welcome. She declares that 1.-THE resent
ment of her German friends toward the
United States is responsible.

IT, s. BALKS AT BRITISH
FOODSTUFFS DOCTRINE
Absolute Contraband Declara-
tions Expected to Bring
Protest From Washington.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.
The new doctrine soon to be promul-
gated by Great Britain making foodstuffs
absolute contraband. is expected to be
opposed by the United States. There was
evidence today that the State Depart
ment would dispute any pronouncement
which eliminates entirely conditional con.
traband from neutral ships in time of
war.
The representations made TO Great
Britain in the Wllhelmlna case will bring
this issue to focus. 1t is understood
in Washington that Great Britain will
seize the cargo of the Wilhelniina and
issue a statement virtually instituting
blockade of the entire German coast
1t is now evident that Great Britain
intends to keep all American foodstuffs
out of Germany, and the American Gov
ernment is preparing to question the
British right to do so.
Germany has offered to withdraw its
war zone declaration IL Great Britain will
allow the Wilhelmina TO reach Ger
man port. Great Britain contends that
the Wilhelmina's cargo has been made
absolute contraband by the decree of the
German Government communicating all
foodstuffs. Germany, in reply, has Of
fered rigid guarantee that all imported
foodstuffs will go solely to noncom-
oatants. GREAT britain replies that this
would merely release other foodstuffs for
the use of troops at the front

of State Bryan placed before the Cab
