FLEET ON WAY TO U. S.
Fifteen Steamers Reported to Have
Sailed From Holland Port.

A fleet of fifteen Dutch steamships
was said here today to have sailed re
Gently from port in Holland for the
United States. by way of Halifax. The
vessels all steamed out the same day
and now are believed to be well north
of the German submarine zone around
the British Isles.
1t is intended by the Netherlands
government. which has the ships under
charter to have them load grain prob
ably in New York and then return by
the route they came. It was explained
here today that lack of foodstuffs in
Holland made it necessary that large
quantity be obtained at once, and II
was felt that a merchant fleet could
better brave the danger of the seas
than Individual ships. Many Dutch
ships loaded with grain now are being
detained in British ports. either by the
British authorities or through fear of
German submarines.
