HOLLAND NOT TO BREAK
Hopes by Tact to Overcome
Difficulties Surround
ing Neutrals.

London, Feb. S.-A Reuter- dispatch
from The Hague says;
In the second chamber of parliament
today, Premier vandenlinden made q
statement on the submarine situation.
He said the government had no reas-
on to change its attitude through Ger
many's threat Of intensified submarine
warfare. Holland up to the present
had strictly conformed to International
law, and it was her opinion that law
remains law. even when violated by
others.
Holland, the premier said. especially
upheld the principle of freedom of the
seas. Accordingly. while maintaining
an impartial standpoint in the war. she
had theoretically protested to Ger
many, both against obstruction to free
navigation and abainst the deliberate
employment of submarines as not be-
ing in accordance with international
law, 80.
There is now, the premier said. no
more reason for the government to
change it's international policy than OF
the occasion of previous violations OF
international law. The government
hopes by determination and tact to
overcome the difficulties resulting
from the international situation. 81.
The speech of the premier was
cheered.

THE NEXT MOVE.

According to the Associated Press fluctuations.
50 ships have been sunk by the German subma-
rines. since the German blockade order took effect
on February l. Of these, 81 were British. five Of
the other entente powers and Il owned in other
countries
1t is only natural that the allies will attempt TO
minimize these losses. but at the same time this ratio
cannot long be maintained Without bringing about
an acute situation in both Great Britain and France.
1t is not alone the actual number Of ships that
are sunk by the submarines but also the greater
number that will refrain from attempting to enter
British and French ports. in view Of the extra haz-
ard, that will seriously reduce the volume OF ton
mage.
In view of the serious inroads that will be made
on shipping in eastern Atlantic waters. it is certain
that swift cruisers must be detached from the allied
fleet. now blockading German ports in the North
sea. to protect commerce in the western war zone.
The larger strategy Of the Germans probably con-
templates the weakening Of the allied fleet that has
so jealousy guarded the entrance Of the kel canal
for the past 80 months When they are convinced
that such detachment has been made from the
bockading fleet. the German battle fleet. that has
been in hiding in the kcl canal reinforced by all
the additional war vessels that have been built since
the blockade began. will suddenly emerge from the
canal and seek to cripple or destroy the sea power
of the allies.
II by lucky stroke the allied fleet can be either
destroyed or decisivey defeated. the command Of
the sea will pass from the allies to the central powers
That would mean the immediate invasion Of Eng
land by part Of the German army now massed
on the Belgian frontier.
With the railroad lines Of Belgium convereing on
the English channel. the movement Of troops to the
waiting transports would be but matter Of few
hours and the crossing Of the channel but few hours
more, as the distance across the channel is only about
so miles,
While this contingency may not be probable
one, it is more than remote possibility Germany
has undoubtedly staked the final issues Of the Wal
on the result Of her submarine warfare in which she
is now engaged.
The next 90 days. we believe will change world
history for generations to 1t may be that the
whole issue will have been determined before Uncle
Sam can rub up his old flint lock musket oil the hail
Trigger and mould his bullets.
About the time he is ready to give the order t
forward march," the skies will have cleared.

(From tho New York Tribune)
I once knew a man

cor so he said)
And talked with her;
AS she came down windy street
He turned a corner
Headlong into her.
II am so sorry," Duse said,
Il was looking at the stars"
My envy Of that man
Withstood the years
Until one day I met Dane
Who'd talked with Henrik Ibsen:
This man, with head bowed to the wind,
Was walking up a Stockholm way
When round the corner came the seer.
And he pumped into him.
And that great mind
Whose thinking moved tho world
Surveyed my friend r.s
Through his big eyes
And slowly spoke:
"Since when have Goldfish come to land?"
With all the awe
One has for those who'vc known the great,
These two I've envied,
