HOLLANDS ATTITUDE.
ng of Armed Liner Was Unde
 Royal Decree.


 The Hague, via London. March 27. -According to the Niewe Courant Hollands refusal to admit armed .merchantmsn to Dutch ports is not based upon the neutrality proclama- ton of August. 1914, whereby bellfg- erent warships and their equivalents were excluded from Dutch waters, but on the royal decree of July 30, 1914. Under its decree any warship or other armed vessel belonging to a belliger- ent nation which enters Dutch waters shall be immediately ordered to de- part.
 The Courant claims that decree also justifies the treatment of the British steamer Princess Melita in regard to which the German press has accused Holland of breach of neutrality. s The British armed merchantmen Princess Melita was held up outside Rotterdam early in March and was only allowed to enter the port after she had thrown her stern gun over board. The German newspapers in- sisted that the ship should have been interned, as were two German sub marines which were stranded on the Dutch coast at the same time

There is. no doubt, some sound strategic reason for the extensive German retreat, but the exultant ex- planation of the Berlin press that they have left the French nothing to strike" Is not convincing.
