IJNJUSTIFIABLE ACT OF
 WAR AGAINST HOLLAND
Dutch. Demand Reparation from Germany for Tor
 pedoing of Artemis.

The Hague, Feb. 5, via London 11:45 a. m.-Dutch newspapers both pro-German and anti-German, are unanimous in demanding from Ger many prompt explanation of and re- paration for the torpedoing of the Dutch tank steamer Artemis by a German torpedo boat in the North Sea. The newspapers call for pun ishment of the German commander who was responsible for what is described as a violation of law and an unjustifiable act of war against the Netherlands.
 The Vaderland recalls previous German "errors" and dwells on the danger of further incidents of this nature. Incidentally, it asks what the British fleet was doing while a conspicuously colored German torpedo boat fotilla was calmly cruising the busiest steamer track between the Hook of Holland and the Noordhinder lightship.
 The Nieuwe Courant treats the case as a breakdown of the "Vaunted German organization and discipline" which it says, seems urgently to need especially from the viewpoint of the safety of lives and property of neutrals. It demands complete pecuniary and political sat isfaction from Germany, and asks: Did the German 1otilIa perhaps desire to remove all ships from the of a sinking Zeppelin and fire wildly and blindly when it's plan did not seem to succeed ?''
 This, it says might explain, the act, though in no wise excusing it.
