 news of the sinking of the steamer Palembank by a German subm arine was received here with the greatest indignation. Following so closely after the sinking of the liner Tuban- tia, 1t has aroused the most intense antagonism against Germany, and the sense of the public opinion gen. erally is that declaration of war against Germany should follow at once unless the Imperial government should offer immediate reparation for the losses and insure Dutch vessels immunity from further attacks. The Dutch press is particularly hostile against Germany, and predicts that war will surely follow further attacks upon Dutch vessels.

SITUATION GROWING ALARMING

GENEVA, March 20.-A serious shortage of food supplies throughout Switzerland prevails. and the situa- tion is daily growing more critical. due to the European war. It Is an ticipated that the government will very soon be compelled to charter transatlantic steamers and bring her foodstuffs across the sea under the protection of her own flag, unless other means of securing provisions are speedily found. The view Is ex- pressed that the German program at sea may mean the starvation of Switzerland unless some such action Is taken.
 Prior to the entrance of Italy into the war little difficulty was experi- enced in obtaining supplies through that country. but with the cutting off of this source. the country has been completely shut of from obtaining many of the necessities of life, and the situation Is becoming alarming.
