GRAIN FROM HOLLAND
PREPARED TO WITHDRAW Of
FER OF SHIPS FOR TRANSPORT
DUTCH PRESS CRiTiclzES.

Washington. The United States
is prepared to withdraw its recent Of
fer of three ships to expedite grain
to Holland, If the comment Of Dutch
newspapers. accusing the United
States of duplicity in the condition
that equal tonnage should leave Dutch
harbors for America, is to be taken
as indicative of the feeling of The
Netherland government and people.
Officials expressed disappointment
ed the offer of the United States.
which Y as based on a proposal of the
Dutch government to alleviate suffer
ing from a shortage of breadstuffs.
The offer was supplementary to Presi-
dent Wilson's statement of March 20,
when the Dutch ships were requisi-
toned, that 100000 tons of grain
would be provided for Holland. If
ships were sent to carry it.
If Holland does not desire to take
advantage of the offer TO expedite
the grain the original offer to furnish
grain still holds. but the time con-
sumed in sending ships from Holland
to America will delay the relief the
United States is ready to grant.
The condition that equal tonnage
should leave Dutch waters for Ameri-
ca when the grain steamers departed
was imposed TO prevent an increase
in the size of the fleet tied up in
Dutch ports by the German subma-
rine menace.
The three ships provided for expe-
diting the grain were taken off inn
portant runs, officials pointed out, and
will have to be returned unless some
use is made of them soon.

New York. = The entire allied line
in France and Flanders still stands
firmly. Nowhere have the Germans
been able to make a further dent
in it. Hard fighting has been in pro-
gress on the Ypres sector AROUND
Voormezeele and to the south at Loo
re. Both places have several times
changed hands, but at last reports
Voormezeele had been recaptured by
the British, but the Germans had OBJ
tanned another foothold in Locre.
Voormezeele was taken by the Ger
mans, but the British, in night at
tack, won it back and since have held
1t, intiicting heavy casualties on the
Germans in renewed efforts to take
the place.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line, but every
where have been repulsed, notably IN
the st. Mihiel and Luneville sectors,
where recently American troops were
stationed. Whether the Americans
again came into combat with the enc
my was not vouchsafed by the French
official communication.
As a whole, there is no material
change in the situation along the en-
tire front and it is not evident that
the Germans are prepared at present
to resume the offensive, which has
cost them so dearly in men killed,
wounded or made prisoner Reports
coming by way of London are to the
effect that in Germany there is much
perturbation over the inability of the
Teutons to pierce the allies line and
nervousness and depression over the
losses the Germans have suffered.
Likewise in Macedonia comparative
quiet prevails. although there has
been considerable Smelling of opposing
positions by the artilleries and aerial
bombing craft. Near Veternik the
Serbians carried out a successful at
tack against the Bulgarians and ami
hilated the section they held.
Nothing new has come through
either in the way of confirmation or
denial of the reports in circulation
that counter-revolution had broken
out in Petrograd and that Grand Duke
Alexis Nickolaivitch had been pro
claimed emperor of Russia.
