BREAK MIGHT FORCE
 HOLLAND INTO WAR
Threatened by Five German Army
 Corps on Border

Copenhagen, Feb. 13.-Five German army corps concentrated on the Hoi- land frontier furnish a fairly con- vincing explanation, in default of oth- CT reasons, for the failure of the Dutch government to adopt the policy toward Germany recommended by President Wilson on account of tho German submarine campaign.
 That German troops were assemb- ling in fairly large numbers in the vii cinity of the Holland border had been the subject of gossip in Berlin mili- tary circles for several weeks before Dr. von Bethmann- -Hollwegs an- nouncement of the new submarine campaign. Their presence there at a time when Germany was talking of peace instead of a policy that would weigh most heavily upon neutral in terests was then explained as pre- cautionary measure, or even merely chara cterized as a part of a plan for the spring campaign. Such reserves, before the enemy's plan and place of attack developed, usually are conccn- trated at Q spot well behind the bat
New Britain herald., 1917-02-13

Whatever the cause of the concen- tration, a large force of German troops was on the Holland border when Germany's inauguration of sub marine war and President Wilson's s appeal to neutral nations to join with America in protecting neutral inter- ests against Germany brought to the foreground the question of Hollands possible action in reply to the Ger man campaign. Their bayonets em- phaszed the economic and political reasons why Holland is unwilling to follow counsel which it was feared might have drawn the little kingdom into the great European war
 Rumors were heard, too. in neutral quarters in Berlin, before the depart ure of the Associated Press correspon- dent, that a flaw had been discovered in Hollands strategic scheme of de- fense against Germany, which, as is known, involves flooding, parts of the country in front of the selected first Una of dafense. According to these re-
