REPLY To ALLIES

Text of U. S. Note Regarding
Treatment of BeI|igerent
Undersea Boats.
LIBERTY OF ACTION HELD

The text of the United States MEM
orandum replying to that of the allied
governments regarding treatment of
belligerent submarines in neutral ports
is as follows:
'The government of the United
States has received the identic men,
oranda of the governments of France,
Great Britain, Russia and Japan, in
which neutral governments are ex-
horted to take efficacious measures
tending to prevent beIligerent sub
marines, regardless of their use, to
avail themselves of neutral waters,
roadsteads and harbors.' These gov
ernments point out the facility, pos
sessed by such craft to avoid super
vision or surveillance or determination
of their national character and their
power TO do injury that is inherent in
their very nature as well as the 'ad-
ditional facilities afforded by having
at their disposal places where they can
rest and replenish their supplies.

Dutch Press Denounces Sink

Off Nantucket Lightship.
STRONG PROTEST is URGED

ROTTERDAM. October IL. via Lon
don-The HolIand-American line has
received only a brief report of the sink
ing of the Dutch steamer Boomers
dix and the rescue of her crew by the
American torpedo boat destroyer Ben
ham. This report. which does not give
the submarines number, says the sub
marine commander Informed the
Bloomersdijk's captain that he would
sink any ship bound by way of an Eng
lish port
The steamship company's directors
shortly will discuss the new situation
with the minister of foreign affairs but
meanwhile will not alter the sailing
dates of the company vessels

however, was not so insured. as the

Dutch Press Is Indignant.
AMSTERDAM. via London. October
1.-THE Dutch press is highly indig-
nant at the sinking of the Holland
American line steamer Bloomersdijk.
which. it is declared, was absolutely
illegal and contrary to maritime law
we ask with astonishment- says
the NieuwS Van Den Dag, what reason
the submarine commander could have
for torpedoing a neutral vessel with a
neutral cargo for the neutral popula-
tion of Holland. There was no possi-
bility of a mistake, for the commander
of the submarine must have been aware
of the character of the vessel. and for
that illegal act Germany must be made
10 pay full compensation.
The Handelsblad demands that the
government send strong protest to
the German government. The Telegraad
regards the raid as "a sop to the Won
Tirpitzites," and thinks that probably
the Germans are allowing their sub
marines to operate along the fringe of
American territorial waters to test the
extent of American patience.
The Tijd says it learns from trust
worthy German source that the L
boats operating in the Atlantic obtain
their supplies from large commercial
submarine supply vessels stationed at a
fixed time and place in the Atlantic.
The news of this submarine warfare,
the paper asserts, will result in d
compromise between the German chan
ceIIor and his opponents in the reich
stag.
