DUTCH GOVERNMENT PROTESTS AGAINST
 WATER ZONE ED|CTS
Sends Note to England and Germany on Dangers Sit uatiOn Holds Out to
 Neutral Shipping

The Hague, February l5.--tNia Lon- don. n ;55 D. mo-The Netherlands has presented notes of protest at the same moment to Germany and Great Britain regarding the acts of these govern ments in respectively declaring wnr zone of the waters aroand the Britis h isles and in using neutral flags.
 Diplomats have been awaiting action of this kind. and their expectations were frlhllcd tonight when it was announced that the Dutch minister 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
 There has been much discussion of dan gers to be encountered in the North sea and Dutch shipping is menaced more than that of any other neutral nation, owing to the large number of Dutch vessels passing through the English channel on the voyage to the Dutch Indies. Dutch shippers are determined not to change their. schedule and the ships will pro- ceed over the usual routes. taking pre- cautions to make their nationality clear.
 Text of Protest
 The fulr text of the Dutch protests are salient points of the contents of the note communicated to the German foreign of flee:
 FfrstNThe government of The Neither lands denies the imputation that it has been partial to Great Britain in commer- cia affairs, in embargo acts, or otherwise The Netherlands has pursued strictly neutral attitude.
 6econd-The Netherlands government protested against the British declaration of the North sea as a war zone. so it now protests against the German declaration of an enormous stretch of water sur- rounding the British isles as theatre of war. which peaceful neutral vessels may not safely enter or cross,
 Third-The Netherlands government de- clares that the possible posting of neu- tral flag by an enemy merchantmen would not excuse German warships in sinking merchantmen on suspicion. with out arrest or search. Such an act would be in direct contrayention of interna !. tional law
 In case Dutcsa ship were thus attacked and sunk, the Netherlands would hold Germany responsible.
 Note to England In its note to Great Britain the Neither lands government says that while the use of . neutral nak by belligerent merchantman to escape an enemy war vessel has been tolerated in individual cases. If 1t were practiced on a large scale and by the direct sanction of a bel ligsrent government.; it would certainly be an abuse of a neutral flag. ssrhe f&ct that the merchant shipping act of Great Britain contains practical permission for merchant ships of other

Serbians consider invulnerable, the
operations of the Bulgarians have
been suspended The Bulgarians are
making their principal efforts in Ser

is said to have been checked by the

German Government Will Conserve

Berlin, Oct. 26-The newly complet.

many has plenty of foodstuffs.
Especially is the potato crop large
one. In order to conserve the supply,
the government has taken a hand in
regulating the distribution.
"We have actually 100000 hun
dredweight of potatoes" states the
report, while we only estimated 900,-
900 hundredweight
1.-THE reason for Germany's inner
condition is that the government at
present is engaged in legalizing uni
formity and adopting such measures
as have been taken by local and mill
tary authorities. Butter prices will
be regulated for the empire by the
rules of Berlin. Maximum prices will
be set for milk. The needs of chill
dren, ailing mothers and the sick will
be specially cared for through sales
counters and special tickets. Meas
ures will also be taken whereby the
poorer population will be able to get
meat at cheap prices"
