gave the alarm.

Dutch Dander Rising
Over Subsea Rayages

The Hague, Feb. 24.-While official
circles remain gravely calm, there
has been an inevitable outburst of
deep Indignation on the part of the
Dutch newspapers at what the Am
sterdam Telegram calls "a blow in
our face and the greatest humiliation
to which a neutral state has been
subjected"
The paper adds:
I'VE confess inability to see how
the honor OF our nation can further
be maintained by protests"
Other less bellicose newspapers re-
fleet hardly less enlightenment on the
part Of the whole nation against the
latest example of German ruthless
ness, while even German circles, it is
learned, profess deep regret at what
they admit to be "a CHASTITY blunder."
Amid the chorus Of bitter accusa-
tons leveled at German "frightfal-
ness" the Vaderland exhorts the ma
ton to exercise ~self-control and not
hamper the government at this criti-
cal moment. when an incautious ac-
ton may p~recipitate war, the result
Of which can be foreseen from the
fate of other small nations.
The shipping section of tire Am
sterdam bourse is demoralized, with
losses ranging from 10 to 90 per cent.
The insurance business is paralyzed.
The grain supply problem has be-
come extremely acute owing to the
loss of cargoes and tonnage.
The German legation at The Hague
has issued a statement declaring that
the disaster to the Dutch steamers
was due ITO an extremely regrettable
coincidence of circumstances, which
is unfortunate, but beyond our con
troll
All the vessels left February %,
having been given to understand by
the German authorities that that
date would be relatively safe" the
so-called safe period for neutral
ships sailing from British ports,
which originally expired February s,
having been extended at the request
of the Dutch government.
The suggestion has been made to
the Dutch government, the Associated
Press learns, BY leading shipowners
that a half dozen German ships in
or American ports be demand
ed as compensation for lost tonnage.
London, Feb. 24.-It was announced
here today that of the seven Dutch
steamers ~torpedoed only three were
sunk, while the others were serious
" damaged, but remained affoat.
Those sunk were the G~aasterland,
Jacatra and the Nocrderdijik,
