London, March lit was well past
Il o'clock this morning when the house
Of commons adjourned after nro-
tract debate. nominally on army esti-
mates but really covering wide range
Of topics Z, ,f.7@@%%fs' q. q
There were many heated passages
regarding calling out married men.
Sir John Simon, ex-secretary for
home affairs, among others, appeared
as the champion of the married men,
but his speech met with sharp cr:t:E
cism Of other champions Of the mar
ried men; owing to his argument that
there was danger Of rsrecruiting.
1t was announced that a conference
Will be held Saturday at the war office
between the higher military authori-
ties when the whole requirements in
regard to men will be d;sc2ssed and
explained. "F~ SsE f~22Sf ,5$ttssE ~
Agitation Causes Temporary Halt.
It Is stated that the agitation on the
part Of married men has interferred
somewhat with war office arrange
ments but there Is little doubt that the
further calling up Of further grnnns
Of married men has been only briefly
postponed. ? t u 4 N
Among the proposals now consid-
cred is that of extending the age for
single men to 45 years. There Is also
wide spread feeling that the COM
pulsion act should be extended to mar
ried men because the feeling among
married men Is due to the fact that
those who voluntarily enrolled under
the Derby scheme must 60 to the army
while the married men who enrolled
are allowed to continue III their occu-
pations. .s$ ts7s

SINKING ARousEs HOLLAND.
Tuhantia One Of Finest Ships Of Matter
,-Torpedoed, Saws Captajn,

Tuhantia One Of Finest Ships Of Nation
-Torpedoed, Says Captain.
The Hague, via London. March IL
The loss of one OF :. Hollands finest
steansflips has stirred the country
deeply. The sinking of Il the steamer
Tubantia, valued at 81, 500 900 and In
sured for $1.240.00o. means loss Of val
ued cargo space not easily replaceable
The opinion accredited to the captain
that the Tubantfa was torpedoed adds
to the feeling. of resentment aroused by
the incident
The Vaderland calls attention to the
fact that the vessel was sunk at almost
the same time that announcement was
made of the resignation of Admiral
Tirpitz as German minister Of marine
and of the statement that>his successor
would continue submarine warfare
without abatement. This paper refers
to the cases of the Dutch steamships
katyk. Artemis and Bandoeng, sunk or
damaged as a result Of German mis-
takes" and says that If the Tubantia
was sunk by a German submarine there
will be increasing danger~that Germany
against her wishes may find herself in
conflict with neutral states.
The Vaderland voices the hope that
the change in leadership of the German
marine ministry may be utilized as an
opportunity for the issuance of more
binding rules for submarine command
ers
|. The Nieuwe Courant says:
rs this Won Tirptz's farewell greet
Ing to friendly Holland? Germany
ought to be ashamed of this fresh
proof that she has not her admiralty
commanders well in hand. They sink
neutral vessels. yet on the next oc-
caslon flout their governments meas
ures and promises and fire away
blindly." :..-
A stronger note is sounded by the
Nieuwe Rotterdom Courant which
says that on, matter whether the ves-
sci was sunk, by a torpedo or a mine
the country demands that such occur
RANGES cease. 1t declares the govern
ment must, take the strongest repre-
sentations to Berlin, and adds:
The Tubantia was not mere
tramp, she was the pride Of our mer-
camille marine. Every responsible naval
commander would know what she was.
No account Of the disaster mentions a
warning of any kind. There is no ex-
cuse. No words can qualify this mis-
deed. We have nothing to do with Off
GERS mistakes.' The German admiralty
is responsible and demands must bs
made that definite Instructions must be
given the German navy to prevent such
mistakes in the future" .
The newspapers say Holland unfort-
.unately, Is placed between two nations,
one of which professedly defends small
nations. vet holds up our navy AMI
seizes what she likes" and the other,
while .contending for the so-caiied
freedom of the seas, yet sinks our ships
without notice." -%
