BERLIN, March 2o.-Count Reventlow.
famous German naval critic, in an artI-
Gle In the Deutsche Tageteitung, says
there Is ground for the suspicion that a
British submarine sank the Dutch liner
Tubanta last Thursday. He added that
there have been similar occasions when
the probability existed that British sub
marines destroyed neutral ships and then
spread reports that German boats had
been responsible.
The object of England, Count Revent-
low says, is to breed i'll feeling between
neutral countries and Germany.

DUTCH TALK OF WAR

AMSTERDAM, March 20.-Holland
has sent a strong note to Berlin rela-
tive to the sinking Of the Tubantia,
says the Nieuw Van Den Tag. An
immediate reply is requested.
Some Dutch papers express the fear
that Holland and Germany are near
war.
THE HAGUE, March 20-The German
Ambassador to Holland has informed the
Dutch Foreign Office that an investigation
by the German Ministry of Marine has
showed that here were no German subma-
rines in the vicinity of the Dutch liner
Tubantia when she was sunk off North
Hinder Sands. last Thursday morning.
The German Ambassador also said that no
German mines had been laid there.
LONDON, March 2o.-The Daily

The correspondent says:
"It is impossible to exaEgerate the

the news of the second disaster of recent

THE HAGUE. March 20.-The Neither
lands press, discussing the sinking of the
liner Tubantia, refers to the possibilities
of war between Germany and Holland.
The Amsterdam Handelsblad, after dis
cussing the uselessness of such conflict
and considering the many ties between the
two countries, adds:
Nevertheless, nothing would be moro
damaging to our independence and ma
tional existence than the conviction gain
ing ground that we are unprepared to shed
our blood for the defense of our rights
and independence. If the attack was made
against tho orders of the German Ad-
mralty. we expect the submarine COM
mander will get what pirate deserves"
The Nleuwe Rotterdamsche Courant
says:
"If the German navy seeks a conflict
with us, it should say so. The German
Government is using the surest means of
hurting our national feelings"
