Berlin Exchange Firm,
Despite Greek Situation

Berlin, Sept. / via London. Sept. .
There was a firm feeling on the Stock
Exchange to-day, after the futters of
yesterday and Wednesday, over the
uncertainty concerning the future at
titude of Greece. In inner circles. how
ever the opinion was expressed freely
that the present developments IT.
Greece will play directly into the hands
of the Nenizelist party.
Direct news from Athens is lacking,
as the wireless route for sommunica-
tion between Athens and Berlin no
longer is available. The Entente
Powers have forced Greece to close its
sending stations TO German messages
and Germany is informed of conditions
in Greece only through kilograms
printed in foreign newspapers and be-
lated messages received by way Of
the Macedonian frontier. The diplo-
matte representatives of the Central
Powers at Athens, as a result, are
working Under disadvantage.

portionately. America. for instance. at
ordinary times draws a certain amount
Of herring from Holland. but the tota!
Of 14.247 tons dispatched thither IN
1913 fell TO 1.593 tons last year, ana
now the herring export 10 the OnNed
States seems 70 have entirely stopped
the total for the first six months OF the
current year being only eight tons.
Such figures make clear what a him
drance the Dutch fishing industry has
constituted 10 the Allies blockade OF
the Central Powers, and sufficiently
explain their anxiety 20 bring about
change in this state of affairs, partlcu-
larry If il be remembered that, while
British fishing trawlers are being sunk
by German Submarines, the Dutch
craft are hauling in their loaded nets
for the German markets right under
the noses of British naval guns.
The question is, however, exceeding
" difficult and complicated, for 10000
to $4,000 seamen and others earn their
livelihood in the Dutch fishing and con-
nected industries. Hollands own fish
supply is also involved An indemnity,
it is argued. could not counter balance
the farreachirg. harmful effects OF the
laying up of the fishing feet Beyond
these material considerations Is the
fact that the Netherlands would deeply
resent as a humiliation the annulment
of its right TO fish freely on the open
North Sea, and thus carry on one of It's
oldest industries. Neutrality forblds
the singing out of the Central Powers
for a FISH export prohibition, while a
general export prohibition would cut
away the main basis of the industry's
existence.
1t is strongly argued from the Dutch
side that there can be no question OF
contraband, as the fish is all destined
for the open market in Holland, where
any one is free 10 buy. On the other
hand, there is the fact that company
has been formed by leading fishing
craft owners, dealers and others which
acts as the buying medium for the big
German company that undertakes Ger
many's purchases of foodstutfs in this
country, under an arrangement where
by it may deliver all the fish 1t can at
a fixed price. namely, $3.50 per cask,
as against the price of go American
cents prevailing before the war.

RESENT BLOW TO
EXPORT OF FISH
Dutch Protest Against Brit
ish Seizure of Fishing
Vessels.

The Hague, Aug. 14.-Great Britain,
which has been regarding with growing
displeasure the provisioning Of Ger
many with FISH from Holland, has
brought the matter to head BY seiz-
ure of some hundred vessels of the
Dutch fishing feet. which are now lying
under arrest in the Scotch ports OF
Peterhead, Aberdeen, Lerwick and Kirk
wall. Unless an arrangement is
reached they are apparently to be taken
before the British prize court on the
ground that their catches are contra
band, because the final destination
thereof is Germany.
Even before the war Germany was
the best customer of the Dutch fisher
men, but the effect of the maritime
blockade of the Allies had been to so
greatly increase that country's pur-
chases on the fish market here as to
give it practical monopoly of Hol'
lands exports. The net export of vari-
Gus sorts OF sea nSn III recent years mas
amounted to about 10000 tons year,
representing value of between 49,
100000 and sl2,000000.
Partly as a result Of less competition
on the fishing grounds of the North
Sea and consequent bigger catches, and
doubtless partly owing to the highly
remunerative prices obtainable, there
was an enormous increase in the ex-
ports last year. 10000 tons of fresh
sea fish and sailed and smoked herring
alone being sent out of the country.
Germany's share was no less than l44,,
900 tons, against $1,000 in 1914 and
$4,000 in 1913.

London, Aug. l2.-An American who

letter on the trip TO "The London
Times:
"Twice week a train of seven cars

animation, is provided with a passport

military matters and suggesting tina;
spies are everywhere.
"As the train passes through the
various countries along the route the
populace is immensely interested. The
stops are short. none being longer thar
twenty minutes; at Dresden only seven
minutes are allowed. For the most par
the travellers are German and Austrian
officers and officials. but few Turks
use the train for journeys as far even
as Berlin, where now the tarboosh may
be seen in the streets.
