DUTCH APPROVE
Agreement Of Germans
About Ships
Holland Pays for Insurance and
Germany to Replace

London, June PA despatch from
Amsterdam says that several Dutch
newspapers approve the agreement be-
tween the Dutch and German govern
ments with regard to the seven Dutch
merchantmen which were torpedoed off
the English coast last February. Hol-
land is to pay Germany a sum equal
to the total amount paid for insur-
ance on the merchantmen while Ger
many undertakes to replace the lost
vessels by the cessation of number of
German ships now in the Dutch East
Indies. The TELEGRAPH describes the
agreement as a pleasant surprise and
the finest success for Dutch diplomacy
since the beginning of the war.
The Handelsblad admits that the En-
tente has a right to oppose the agree
ment as during the war enemy ships
may not be transferred to a neutral
nation. If the Allies, says the paper,
wish to be unpleasant they will argue
that the transfer of insurance money
resembles a purchase. The Handles
blad, however has reason to believe
that the Entente powers will not OPP
pose the deal

DANIELS PROTEST
Made Against Saloon
Near Navy Yard
Picture and Article About Bos-
ton Saloon the Basis

Boston, June PA telegram from
Secretary Daniels protesting against
tho establishment Of a saloon near the
navy ward here was received by state
and civ authorities today. The tele-
cram said the secretary's information
was based on an article and picture
in a newspaper.
Members of the excise board, which
today took up a petition by saloon
nroprietor for permission to transfer
his business to a building opposite a
ward gate used exclusively by officers,
said that Secretary Daniels was prob
ably laboring under the impression
that a new saloon was to be opened
opposite the main gate of the yard,
whereas the proposal was the trans
fer Of a saloon to location half mile
from the main entrance. Not more
than 10 per cent of the yard employees
use the officers gate. it is said
In the absence of Gov. Mccall, who
is on his way to Washington, his sec
retarv. Stanley r. Miller, sent a reply
TO Secretary Daniels. acquainting him
with the facts of the situation. and
saving that. if he still wished his pro-
test TO stand, the excise board would

supplies necessary to the support of
the army, or the maintenance of the

GERMAN PROTEST
Against Breaking Off,
cial Seals
Those on Baggage of Arrested
German the Cause

Lodon. June N.-Rerorts received here
from Norway say that the German lega-
ton at Chrstiania formally protested
against the breaking of the German Off
cial seals on the baggage of Aron Rau-
tenfels. a German who was among those
arrested in connection with the conspir-
acy to blow up seized ships. The legation
demanded the surrender of his trunk but
without success. There is no confirma-
ton of the statement printed in Paris
that Germany asked Norway to apologize
for the breaking of the seals.
The recall of Germany's minister,
Michaelis, is attributed to Norway's In
sistent demand. He was succeeded by
Admiral Paul Won Hintze. former minister
to Mexico and China.
