Amsterdam, Oct. 11tb. (via London)-A
Berlin despatch quotes the Deutecho Tages
Zeitung as saying it considers the significance
of the y 53's visit to America TO be that it
has proven that German submarines are able
to conduct successful cruiser warfare III the

paper believes Germsn operations 10 those

Amsterdam, via London, October 10Th
The Dutch press is highly lndlg-
naut at the sinking Of The Holland American
line steamer Bloomersdjk which it is declal-
ed was absolutely illegal and contrary to
maritime law. We ask with establishment,
SAYS Tue NieuWe HaDdFlstl0d, what reasCn
the submarine commander could huve for
torpedoing a neutral vessel with peutrul car
80 for the neutral population Of Holland.
There was DO possibility of a mistake. tor the
commander OF the submarine must have
been aware of the character of the vessel
and for that illegal act Germany must be
made to pay full compensation. The Han
delsblad demands that the Government
send q strong protest to the German Gov
ernmeDt. The Telegram regards the raid
''as a sop to the Won Iirpitzltes" and thinks
that probably the Germans IRE allowing
their submarine to operate along the fringe
Of American territorial waters to lest the ex-
tent OF American patience.

tension Of CONSUMPTION to Ireland, which
Unionists are urging, and which il is under
stood the Government opposes, and the OBJ
tanning of more men from England, Scot
land and Wales by closer scrutiny Of men

credit vote is expected to last only to the
end of the preset year another request will
be necessary before March, but i'll view OF
the statement made yesterday by the Cham
cellor Of the Exchequer there probably will
