The Hague White Paper Announces
Determination to Assert Rights to
Freedom Of the Ocean.

The Hague.-An official white pa.
and German notifi-
cation respecting the danger zones es-
tablished in the submarine blockade
and identic protests by the Dutch gov
ernment dated Feb. Z. The Dutch
note points out that the zone pro-
claimed as dangerous in the Mediter.
ranean completely bars passage be-
tween Port Said and the channel from
Gibraltar to Greece, so that the In
dian route. which is essential and OF
to the commerce of Hol-
land as colonial power. is cut off
The Dutch government recalls Its
earlier protests against the British
and German measures relating to the
proclamation OF war zones in the
North sea. and continues:
with all the more reason the gov
eminent is obliged to object with ex-
treme energy against the regime now
announced, which not only applies to
much vaster areas but also acts on
neutral ships, whatever their cargo or
destination. and without discriminat-
Ing as tn whether their presence In
said zones Is voluntary or not"
1t is further pointed out that even
had Germany qualified the new meas
ure as n blockade, the merciless de.
struction OF neutral ships would be
contrary to international law, which
only permits the confiscation and not
the destruction of blockade runners.
Germany" continues the notc.
does not use the term blockade and
rightly so. because It cannot be ap.
piled to such vast areas and because.
according to the rules OF international
law. II can only be directed againsC
traffic with hostile ports. and in no
wise against direct navigation be.
tween two neutral countries.
Nov. the German warships are or
dered TO destroy ships irrespective Of
their trafficking with enemy ports or
between neutral ports.
Faithful to the principle which has
always been observed In this war. the
queens government can only see In
such destruction OF neutral ships vio-
lation OF the rights OF nations. to say
nothing Of attack upon the laws OF
humanity. II this happened regardless
Of the security of the persons aboard.
The responsibility Of the eventual
destruction Of Dutch ships and the
loss OF life will fall on the German
government and all the more heavily
In the foreseeable event OF Dutch
ships being forced to enter the dan.
ger zone by constraint Of adversary
warships exercising the right OF

Petrograd.-The foreign Office has
given the following statement to the
Associated Press in regard to the ac-
tion Of the United States in termi-
mating diplomatic relations with Ger
many:
"The decision of the government OF
the United States to sever relations
with nation which has persisted in
the violation and perversion of all the
laws of warfare has produced deep
impression in Russia. We felt assured
in advance that the United States
would not tolerate this last tn, eat OF
Germany. but we are none the less
appreciative of the prompt and de-
cisive manner in which President
Wilson has shown his disapproval OF
Germany's mad submarine program
and his reluctance to continue on
friendly terms with nation which ig-
nores the first principles OF civillza-
ton and humanity.
For this reason We cannot too
deeply acknowledge our appreciation
Of President Wilson's verdict. Every.
where where men are fighting for the
triumph OF right and justice the &C.
tion Of the United States will call
forth new courage and consolidate
their conviction OF necessity of fin
ishing forever with German militar-
ism and Its atrocities"
