whether the mails would be trans

From Tie Tribune BAfttll
Washington. Feb. Every employe
who has been caught "off the JOB" by
an unexpected visit of the boss knows
exactly how Secretary Lansing felt

locked exits, Mr.. Wilson finally found
his way out and drove TO the Capltoi

He had no better luck there, for

suffer by virtue of the blockade, and
holds Germany responsible for such
acts.

DUTCH WEALTH
REDUCED BY WAR
Newspaper Reveals Rea-
sons for Failure to Join
Wilson in German Break

T. lin. Feb via wireless to Say
ville) the Dutch newspaper "Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant" is quoted by
the Overseas News Agency with re-
spect to the attitude of the United
States toward Germany and the sugges-
ton of President Wilson that other
neutral countries join with the United
States in severing relations with Ger
many.
"The rupture with Germany says
the paper, "is only q demonstration at
the present moment, but Of dangerous
sort. America stands ready to fight,
and in such an attitude nobody can
for long remain without change, espc-
cially if agitation makes itself heard.
An incident may happen easily, and
then the struggle begins before one is
aware of il.
"The action Of the United States
seems only a prelude to participation
in the war, although such participation
is not desired by the United States.
"In our country nothing is known
about the attitude of our government
toward intensified submarine war;
therefore, it can be pointed out that
our government. which has TO count
with the interests of our country, may
very we'll consider things differently
from the American government We
want TO emphasize several important
points of difference in the respective
situations.
America is amply provided with
steel. iron. coal, bread. corn, fats and
all victuals; is not surrounded by bel
ligerent countries, but even is sep
srated from them by broad ocean. In
American ports arc numerous German
ships, among them the finest OF the
German merchant marine, ana oil, in
case of war. would be of advantage TO
the United States.
"Our country, in spite of all its
wealth, is almost financially exhausted
hy the war. Our imports come across
the ocean from America or from Ger
many, but the former have been limited
to minimum, thanks TO measures taken
by the Entente. Germany sends little
or nothing. We suffer from the need
of coal. bread, corn and the most i'm
portant food supplies, also from. lack
of iron and steel, which are almost
entirely wanting. In addition, our
eastern frontier is almost open.
"These are only few of the exist
ing differences influencing the decision
which our government must take. II
must consider things with which the
United States is not obliged to count"
The newspaper then says that the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-02-08

of diplomatic relations with Germany
and its significance for the Allies.
"The most important result he said,
"is the moral weight Of the measure
against Germany's illegal and inhuman
practices. Germany will he crushed
under the moral condemnation OF the
world; she cannot endure IT.
"The government of the United States
has been holding TO even neutrality
throughout this long struggle between
the two groups of belligerents Presi-
dent Wilson has founded his policy in
every instance upon the principles of
right, patiently expounding and insist
ing upon them.
"Finally, Germany's avowed determi-
nation TO place force above right, to
suppress ethical and spiritual percep-
tons under material and egotisticsl
aims. has left America still unyielding
in her contention that the war must be
carried on under the sanctions Of hu-
manity in international law. The effect
is tremendous"
Admiral Lacaze said he believed that
if the United States entered the war
her smaller warships would do really
effective service in hunting down sub
marines.
