lNTERNED SHIP AT FAULT
Vessel Must Quit Neutral Port
After Breach of Rules.
lBy Cable to The Tribune y

Amsterdam, April Sudden activity
was caused among the military author
tiles early this week at Flushing by the
discovery that wireless messages had
been sent from the large German mer-
chant ship, the Main. which had been
ming of the war. The presence OF wire
less apparatus on the ship had been
suspected for some time.
In order to preserve the neutrality
of the ship while in Dutch waters a
body of Dutch soldiers had been
placed on board, and il is understood
that orders have now been issued by
the Dutch Government that the vessel
must leave Flushing by sunrise Friday
at TIE latest. Great interest and ex-
element prevail concerning the fate
Of the vessel when she puts TO sea.

Times" who has been travelling IN
Germany. says that among the Ger
man people, especially those OF the
military caste, the opinion is strong
that nothing will prevent Antwerp and
the strip Of Belgian coast stretching
in a line to the German frontier south
Of Dutch Limburg, from belonging
henceforth to Germany.
They agree, the correspondent says,
in some cases, to let the rest go. as
they admit it would be task too long
and difficult for the Germans to take
the whole of Belgium.
at is also declared" the correspon-
dent continues, that il Germany does
not take a strip Of Holland during this
war the time will soon be ripe for her
to take Flushing and the mouth OF the
Sheldt, with sufficient land on each
side. Dutch neutrality is spoken OF
with the utmost contempt"

SCOTS MAY FIGHT
PROHIBITION CAUSE
North Britain Already Consumes
Three Times as Much Spirits
as England.

London, April 8.--The Cabinet hav.
ing failed TO come to a decision on
the drink question. no settlement ia
expected until Parliament meets next
week. The Conservative leaders, A
j. Balfour and Andrew Bonar Law, are
believed already TO have given private
u their assent TO whatever action may
be taken, provided no measure 70,
total prohibition be considered at this
time.
The prohibition OF traffic in spirits
however, is not likely to be adopted
without considerable opposition from
the vested interests. Opposition Ia
the suppression of the use OF spirits
is in some degree sectional, since Scot
land consumes per capita three times
as much spirits as England and half
again as much as Ireland. Scottish
opposition, II solid, might easily cause
the defeat of the measure.
David Lloyd George. Chancellor OF
the Exchequer. replied to-day to a
charge made by James Keir Hardie
VI. p. at the meeting of the Indepen-
dent Labor party at Norwich, that the
Chancellor had maligned and insulted
workmen. and that. as a result, word
had gone around the world that the
working classes were set Of drunken
MASTERS"
The Chancellor recalled that his
words were that it was a minority OF
the men against whom the charge OF
excessive drinking was made, and re-
peated the statement that "the drink
ing habits of the minority have the
effect OF seriously diminishing the out
put of war materials at time when
the success Of the Allies depends en-
tirely upon that material being large
~ increased"
Paris. April s.-The general in COM
mand Of the Army of the Vosges, with

will be court-martialed and punished
