ARGENTINE INTERESTED
IN TRANSFER OF SHIPS

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. S.-The Ar
gentine Legation in The Hague has
reported to the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs that Germany and the Gov
eminent of Holland have reached an
agreement whereby Germany trans
fers to Holland the German vessels
that have been interned in the ports
OF the Dutch island In the east, this
to be in compensation for the sink
ing of Dutch steamers by submarines
and German mines.
In view of the sinking of three Ar
gentine vessels, this information Is
of special interest to the Argentine
press and public, and one newspaper
has referred to the agreement as a
transaction In bad faith by the Ger
| mans, or one Of excessive ingenuity
on the part OF the Dutch government,
an ingenuity bordering on completely
in an interested neutrality.
Those German steamers which have
taken refuge in the Dutch Indies can.
not be transferred In that form with.
out the consent OF the allies, FL Di'
ario declares, because they hold upon
/ them a first mortgage, represented by
the war, which they will not sur
! render for the benefit either of their
! enemy or those who do business with
] him.
!. In view OF the possibility that the
e German government may propose tC
e Argentine a similar arrangement In
;. the way OF Naturalization, FL DiariC
y warns the Argentina government anC
1 people to be on their guard, so tina
in sentiment or action they are no
e led astray by ostensible German mag
e nanimity, which in reality is a snar
]. and a trap.
II The editorial intimates that Gel
s many knows well that the steamer
y in all foreign ports are irretrievabl.
D. lost to her and seeks now to liquidat
obligations to creditor countries b
IS the fiction OF transferring her Owl
IS ership. though she cannot delive

filed petitions requesting the Nevada
board OF railroad commissioners to
assist in efforts to bring about i'm.

age In Nevada the coming fall and

said that about Is per cent of the coal

in Utah. The mines of the companies
named are located on the Denver and

sire to have steps taken that will

imperial German government left us
no selfrespecting choice but to take
up arms In defense Of our rights as a

masters OF Germany denied us the
right TO be neutral. They filled our
