Paris, April 16.-Chancellor Won Beth
mann-HollweIg's Reichstsg address, COM
bined with recent events, shows unmis-
takably that Germany has definitely
adopted the policy OF forcing the neutral
nations to declare finally for or against
her.
Germany must have wheat, rubber,
copper. petrol and cotton. She must have
ports as bases for her sea operations and
coast line and territories which her staff
consider indispensable.
II the neutrals do not allow her to OBJ
tain these things peacefully she will
seize them just as she invaded Belgium.
She Is now putting a heavy strain on
Swiss neutrality by deliberately dropping
bombs in Swiss territory. In order to be
able to violate Dutch neutrality she ac-
cuses England Of planning to land troops
in Holland.
Neutral newspapers arc still flooded
with German offers to buy leather, cop
per, cotton, rubber and petrol and trade
with Germanys continental neutral
neIghbors has reached abnormal proper
tions.
Secret contraband traffic is also being
carried on through the mails.
But Germany Is no longer satisfied with
the attempt to supply her needs by these
occult ways. She intends to force the
neutrals either openly to help her or to
suffer invasion.

Comments in the German press on the

the psychological explanation that Turs

such hard and sudden stroke as balm
for two sore disappolntments: the sue

The surrender of 1000 British troops
who at one time stood practically at the
