QUICK MOBILIZATION
 OF HOLLANDS FORCES
 STARTLES ALL EUROPE

London, April 5-''Ho1land barred its teeth to the belligerents on both sides so unexpectedly that the Butch public was as much astonished as the re- 1mainder of the world," said a pronain- ent neutral just returning from Am sterdam, to; The Associated Press to- day. This person, who enjoys ex- ceptiona1 opportunities of gaining re- liable information, stated that not only was the Dutch army modified but actual maneuvers were held as if to repeI forces landing from the North Sea in the neighborhood of Flushing.
 The mobilization was accomplish ed swiftly. Virtually every private motor car in the country was seized. While mobilization took place along the German frontier, maneuvers were held only along the seacoast. To add to the excitem ent the Germans massed men and guns along the Bel go-Dutch frontier near Antwerp as if in preparation to repel an invasion from that direction,
 The returned neutral is convinced the demonstration was aimed against Germany as much as England. He be11igerents had become so pronounc- ed that a sullen feeling of hostility toward both Germany and Great Bri- tain was becoming general throughout the country.
 On account of the British blockade Holland is experiencing fears to such

| Fl Paso. April 5.-The eyes of men on the border were turned north today anxiously looking for some intimat1on from Washington that an arrangement had been made with General Carranza permitting the use of the Mexican railroad by the American expedition ary force.
 Now that it is definitely knowp that Villa is fleeing south far ahead of his American pursuers, there is a fixed opinion here that on the railroads hinge General Pershing's main, if not only hope of capturing the bandit. This opinion is not only expressed by the American refugee colony nere' where pessinism is the rule, but is held by army officials who, among friends give their opinion of the sit uation in candid terms. With Villas ght toward Parral and the virtual certainty that he is not far from that town, it has ceased to become a ques- tion of using the Northwestern /ratl- road.
 The present need is for the Mexican Central railroad. This road, which is one of the Mexican national lines, runs almost due south from Juarez to Chi huahaa, a distance of 227 miles. From Chihuahua it swerves to the southeast to Jininez, a run of 146 miles. At the latter town a. branch line runs 56 miles west to Parral, while the main line continues southeast to Torreon, 148 miles from Jirninez junction.
 The Mexican Central railroad, like the Mexican Northwestern, is in a badly dilapidated condition as the re- suit of five years of warfare and brig ardage, which has devastated north ern Mexico. The fine oi1- burning en- zines, equal to the best in the United States with which. the road was for merly equipped, have disappeared or are wrecks. The rolling stock Is most Iy burned or in a state of wreckage.
 At the same time the American troops could make greater speed by the railroad than they could hope to make any other way in the opinion of staff officials here. Before the wreck ing, the roads running time to Chi huahua City was eight hours and 35 minutes, from thence to Jiminez five hours and 25 minutes and from Jim ir1ez to Torreon five hours and, 30 min utes, a. total of 19 hours and 30 min I dtes for the 616 miles between Juarez and Torreon.
 Even under the present conditions trains have made the run from Chi huahua City to JuaSez in 16 hours and

an extent that the American commis- sion for the relief of Belgium has been asked to loan some of it's food supply to certain districts.
 This food will be shipped in the name of the Dutch governme ent which will regard any attempt to interfere with it an unfr1endly act Many importers who have been excluded from the operations of the Meth er7 lands Overseas trust are so embit- tered by the ruin of their businesses, which are on the blacklist that they stand ready to offer the governm ent substantial support in any steps it may take to end the food block ade.
 The feeling against the hostility of Germany is equally pronounced. The Dutch believe the German govern ment is engaged in a deliberate cam paign against Dutch shipping. Dutch warships are now patro11ing the North Sea trade routes, sweeping away or sh ooting mines. Another neutral. w1lo o made the trip to Flushing last Satur- day, stated that during the passage Dutch and British boats shot 4 5 mines. These mines were of a new type, col ored like the water and were very difficult to dodge even in daylight,
 This neutral asserts that in the waters around -Northhinder g. Dutch destroyer, fired at the periscope of a submarine. According to 1nformants the excitement in Holland subsfded as suddenly as it arose.

USE OF RAILROADS IS ALL IMPORTANT
 IN VILLA PURSUIT

it is believed that with Amercan crews and engines this time could be mate rially reduced.
 There is some fear expressed here that friction may be caused between the American authorities and the de facto government over the assertion of the Carranza generals that Villa is s+iu in the Guerrero region and wounded.
 It is felt that Carranza might object to the American troops going further south as long as his field commanders maintain the bandit is in the noun tains of the continental divide. At the ~1me time the fact that thus far the first chief has shown no disposi- ton to interfere with the movements Of General Pershing's columns is re- garded as reassuring sign that any source of difference would be divided.
 Washin gton, April 5-Latest devel- opments in the Mexican situation con vinced administration officials today that the success of the American ex- petition now largely depends upon the immediate completion of arrange ments for the use of the Mexican railways.
 Officials were awaiting a, reply to renewed representations sent to Gen. era1 Carrana,N through Special Agent Rogers at Queretaro, that the de facto gOVernm ent Immediately fulnIl It's promise to permit the commercial shipment of supplies to General Per- shing's soldiers by giving specific or ders to General GaViera at Juarez and other, Mexican commanders in Chi huahua.
 That the chase for Francisco Villa is extending further and further into Mexico as evidenced by news of g clash between United States cavalry and band of outlaws near Guerrero coupled with reports that the bandit chieftain himself has left his com mand. broken into small groups, ItC occupy the American pursuers while he fees southward for Parra1 strengthened the belief that arrange m ents for the use of the railroads should be concluded at once. Although lacking official confirmation in all its details, the report that a squadron of the 10th cavalry, the crack negro troops, had encountered a band o1 Villa bandits near Agua Calientes, neal Guerrero, and had killed from 30 tc | 40 of the outlaws, was read witt satisfaction in official circles to. day
