DEMAND MADE ON
BERLIN BY DUTCH

The Hague, Feb. 5, (via London,
11:45 a. m.)-Dutch newspapers, both
pro-German and anti-German, are
unanimous in demanding from Ger
many a prompt explanation of and
PREPARATION for the torpedoing of the
Dutch tank steamer Artimis by Ger
man tropedo boat in the North Sea.
The newspapers call for punishment
of the German commander who was re-
sponsible for what is described as vi
olstion of law and an unjustifiable act
of war against the Netherlands.
The Vaderland asks what the Brit
ish fleet was doing while conspicu-
ously colored German torpedo boat
flotilla was calmly cruising the busiest
steamer track between the Hook of
Holland and the Noorhinder Lights.
The Niuewe Courant treats the case
as breakdown of the Wanted Ger
man organization and discipline
which, it says, seems urgently to need
improvement, especially from the
viewpoint of the safety of lives and
property of neutrals. 1t demands COM
plete pecuniary and political satisfac-
ton from Germany.
