This explanation details negotiations

how later the German government an
nounced the ships could leave with
fun safety on March II, or only rel
alive safety" on Feb. %. The relative
safety" for the 22nd, it was explained,
was due to the fact that 1t was not

wirless orders to accord the Dutch
ships passage.

upon themselves the risk of the trip.

DELIBERATE ACT?,
Believed in England That
Germany Hopes to Draw
Holland Into War in Or
der to Gain Supplies.

London. Feb. 26.-Conviction grew in
Great Britain today that Germany de-
liberately plancd the torpedoing OF the
seven Dutch ships reported on Saturday
to have fallen victims to German
''ruthlessness.
The belief was based on the theory
that Germany, her belt tight from lack
of food, has for a long time looked
loagingly at comfortable. well-fed Hol-
land, her acres under cultivation. and
deliberately sought to force The Meth
erlands government into war, SO that
she night raid this storehouse Of a
nation.
TROOPS ALONG BORDER.
This assumption, it was pointed out,
would explain the mysterious massing
OF large German forces on the Dutch
border and the treachery Of Berlin in
not living up to IA safe conduct grant
to the Dutch vessels.
The Dutch situation was eagerly
discussed here today, being nearly as
prominently displayed in the newspa-
pers as the German retreat around
Bapaume.
Commenting on the Dutch corre-
spondence. the London Daily Chronicle
today mace vigorous editorial assault
on President Wilson because he has
never lifted a finger on behalf Of any
interests except American--and seems
unlikely to do So"
HOLLAND UNDERSTANDS NOW.
Holland now understands why two
months ago Germany began massing
troops near the Dutch border and APP
preciates the menace in widespread ru-
mors that these troops have actually
constructed trenches paralleling the
line. Public indignation over the sink :
ing Of seven Dutch ships by German
submarines. was tempered today by
the realization of the acute danger
with which The Netherlands is men,
aceG in these massed German forces
just across the line.
Dispatches from various Dutch cities
today indicated % abatement in pop
ular anger at the sinkings. but gen
eral disposition to weigh this example
of German double dealing against the
consequences of a step forward by
those ever menacing German troops.
The German explanation, as received
by wireless, did not serve to quiet the
