NEUTRAL COUNTRIES
WATCHING AMERICA

London, Feb. 3.-The neutral ma
tons of Europe are awaiting Amer
ica's decision as to Germany's new
war on the seas with anxiety. Dis
patches from the capitals of Holland.
Spain and the Scandinavian countries
limited that effort would be made in
each of those nations to delay any
action until that determined upon by
the United States is announced.
Holland is perhaps hardest struck
of all the European neutrals.
Dispatches from across the channal
gave a graphic picture of the seri
BUSINESS with which the Dutch re.
garded the German orders, serious
ness which was deepened by knowl-
edge that among the first ships to fall
victims to the new sea ruthlessness
was Dutch freighter Holland is
closer to the barred zone" about
England than any other neutral ma
tion and is consequently closer hit by
its restrictions.
Practically all European neutrals
have ordered all sailing suspended un-

BIG SEA FIGHT FORECAST
Fleet Engagement May Follow subma-
rine Campaign.

Washington, Feb 3-Naval officers
discussed with keen interest Ger
many's announcement that all mer-
chant vessels attempting to reach az
lied ports will be sunk without warn
ing by submarines A naval expert
who has kept in touch with all de-
yelopments of the war declared that
he saw in the new German campaign
much more than an attempt to starve
Great Britain and her allies.
This means. in my judgment, that
among other things, Germany plans
to force big naval engagement with
the British feet, he said
In order to combat the German
submarine blockade the allies must
send out a large number of Destroy
ers and other vessels. They are not
at all likely to risk the larger ships,
which would be no more effective
against submarines than destroyers
and would furnish much better targets
for submarine torpedoes and gunfire.
with large number of British and
French destroyers engaged I'm hunt
ing submarines the German high seas
fleet would have much better chance
to make an impression on the British
fleet. For this reason | look for big
naval engagement in the North sea
before the new submarine blockade
gets very far"

Commander Edward II. Campbell is
in command of the five submarines
which are now at Cristobal, in the
zone, and it is his duty to exercise
increased vigilance there. Word oil
the crisis has been transmitted to
him
His duty now is to act as an ad
