GERMANS NOT TO
INVADE AMERICA

Berlin, April 5.-Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg protested vigorous
ly in the reichstag today against the
report that Germany now or in the fu-
ture contemplated aggression against
the United States.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
indicated in his speech today that any
suggestion Of peace on the basis Of
destruction of Prussian military pow
er would make possible only one an
swer-the German sword.
The chancellor stated that if Ger
many's adversaries desired to continue
the slaughter Of men and devastation
of Europe the guilt would be theirs
and that Germany would have to
stand it as men,"
The chancellor said:
"The latest report is that we, after
the end of this war shall rush against
the American continent and that we
shall attempt to conquer Canada.
"This is the silliest Of all the imputa-
tions invented against US. Equally
silly are the reports that we contem-
plate the acquisition of any territory
in any American country whatsoever.
1--WE fight for our existence and for
our future. For Germany and not for
space in a foreign country are Ger
many's sons bleeding and dying on the
battlefield"

Paris, April 5-"Verdun will never

positive opinion of Gen. Cadorna, y
said member of the Italian general
issimo's suite to the Udine cor
respondent of the Petit Journal.
Gen. Cadorna," he continued, ere
turns to Italy from his visit to France
full of enthusiasm for France, for what
she has done and for what she is now
doing.
What we saw on the French front
is simply magnificent. France and
Great Britain have heaped up all along
the line, in innumerable depots, SO
many men and such quantity of
guns and munitions that nothing that
the Germans could now do, it seemed
to us, could possibly catch the Franco
British higher command unprepared.

Of DUTCH Teeth
IS BIG SURP RISE
MOBILIZATION AND
YELLED THREAT AIMED At
BOTH FACTIONS.

London, April 4.-(Delayed)- )-"Hol-
land barred its teeth to the belligerents
OH both sides so unexpectedly that the
Dutch public was as much astonished
as the remainder of the world" said a
prominent neutral just returned from
Amsterdam to The Associated Press
today. This person, who enjoys excep-
tional opportunities of obtaining relia-
Bile information, stated that not only
was the Dutch army mobilized but
actual maneuvers were held as If to
repel forces landing from the North
sea in the neighborhood Of Flushing.
The mobilization was accomplished
swiftly. Virtually every private motor
car In the country was seized. While
mobilization took place along the Ger
man frontier, maneuvers were held
only along the sea coast. ..
The returned neutral Is convinced
the demonstration was aimed against
Germany as much as England. he
stated irritation in Holland against all
belligerents had become so pronoinc-
ed that there was a sullen feeling Of
hostility toward both Germany and
Great Britain which was becoming
general throughout the country.
On account of the British blockade
Holland is experiencing shortage Of
food to such an extent that an Ameri-
can commission to the relief of Bel
gium has been asked to loan some Of
it's food supply to certain districts.
The Dutch government has determined
that food shall be transported to Hol-
land in vessels commandeered by It
without reference to any limitation
fixed by agreement with The Neither
lands Overseas trust.
