Holland Now Holds
Armed Merchantmen
In Warships' Class

The Hague, March 27-According to
the Nieuwe Courant Hollands refusal
to admit armed merchantmen to Dutch
ports is not based on the neutrality
proclamation of August, 1914, whereby
belligerent ,warshtps and their equiva-
Tents were excluded from Dutch wa
ters, but on the royal decree Of July 80,
1914. Under this decree any warships
or other armed vessel belonging to a
belligerent nation that enters Dutch
awters shall be Immediately ordered to
depart.
The Courant claims that the decree
also justifes the treatment Of the
British steamer Princess Melita, in re-
gard to which the German press has
accused Holland Of a breach of neu-
trality.

RANDOLPH OPPOSES

Montgomery, May 22.-(special) )-Ran- dolph county has joined with Marshall and DeKalb and established a trinity of counties which are opposed to the 3-mill tax for public school purposes Returns Tuesday showed that Randolph gave a majority of about 25O against the levy when itw as submitted Monday. This caused much surprise as Randolph gave good majority for the constitutional amendment adopted in November
 Reports received by the educational de- partment late last week were not en- couraging, and it was said a majority of about 150 probably would be given against the levy. It is believed the defeat has resulted from unsettled conditions due to the war and that another cleo ton will be requested by citizens of Randolph as soon as it is seen that busi- ness is on firm basis in America.
