WHY HOLLAND IS
ON NEUTRAL LIST
Five German Army Corps on
Frontier Reason for Nation
Not Following Wilson.

COPENHAGEN (via London
Feb. 13.-F1ve German army corps
concentrated on the Holland from
tier furnish fairly convincing ex-
PLANTATION, in default OF other rea-
sons, for the failure of the Dutch
government TO adopt the policy to-
ward Germany recommended by
Pres't Wilson on account of the
German submarine campaign.
That German troops were assem-
bling in fairly large numbers in the
vicinity of the Holland border had
been the subject of gossip in Ber-
lin military circles for several weeks
before DR.. Won Bethmenn-H ollweg' 5
announcement of the new submarine
campaign. Their presence there az
"A time when Germany was talking
of peace instead of a policy that
would weigh most heavily upon neu-
tral interests was then usually eX-
planned as a precautionary measure
or even merely characterized as a
part of the plan for the dis -ibu-
ton of strategic reserves for the
spring campaign. Such reserves,
before the enemy's plans and place
of attack developed, usually are
concentrated at spot well behind
the battle front, where there are
good railway lines for moving them

soon as the location of the oppon-
ents' effort definitely is established.
Accordingly. some doubt was raised
concerning the latter explanation.
Whatever the cause of the con-
centratiOn, a large force of German
troops was on the Holland border
when Germany's inauguration of
submarine war and Pres't Wilson'S
appeal to neutral nations 10 join
with America in protecting neutral
interests against Germany brought
TO the foreground the question OF
Hollands possible action in reply
to the German campaign. Their
bayOnets emphasized 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.
