TRY|NGTOP|CK QUARREL
Relations Between Germany and
Holland Are Strained.
Former Said to Have Delivered Prac.
tieal Ultimatum and
Anxiety Exists.

London, April 23.-Relations be-
tween Holland and Germany are very
strained, the Daily News says the for
| eign office has learned. ,..
The chief cause of the quarrel ap-
parently is an old dispute about the
supply of gravel from Holland to
Germany. The situation is regarded
with anxiety in official and diplomatic
circles. It is rumored that something
in the nature of an uN;nlatum has
been delivered to Holland by Ger
many. ,. ...., IA
Dutch Press Anxious.
Amsterdam, April 23.-The Dutch
press expresses anxiety regarding
Germany's intention toward Holland.
The Handelsblad considers Germany's
policy will be determined purely by
what promises to pay best and be-
lieves Germany would not hesitate to
use communication through Holland
even at the risk of war, If she be-
lievel success could thus be achieved
on the western 'front.'
The Handelsblad regrets that as
far as known, the Allies have begun
nothing in the direction of facilitat-
ing the movement of provisions and
war material to help make the Dutch
army strong enough if it should be
menaced by an invasion, and COM
plains about the British policy toward
Holland.
