MUST KEEP SHIPS MOVING

AMSTERDAM, via London, March 19.-Commentingo on dispatches from London insinuating that Holland is playing Germanys game if she ac- cepts what Germany dictates, the Nieuwe COurant repudiates the sug- gestion, maintaining that Holland did what was possible after the declara- tion of Germany's submarine warfare and that the only alternative was the breaking of relations with Germany, which according to authoritative British newspapers. would be to at tempt suicide.
 The report is current in Englard that Holland will lay up her ships, rather than expose them to the dan gers of the submarine war zone is causing so much irritation that it will not be a surprise if the leaders of the entente should adopt retala- tory measures. England may seize all Dutch shipping now within their harbors.
 No complaint in this direction has been made against the United States which has already taken action that might lead to war on the side of the Entente Allies.
 The Entente policy is not purely negative for should Dutch ships come out every effort will be made to ITO tect them. Should such measures fail Germany must be acknowledged as the upper dog and no blame would attach to Holland
