HOLLAND REsENTs
 SEIZURE OF SHIPS
Official Gazette Claims Action Was
 UniustifiabIe.

The Hague, Saturday, March S0.- The seizure of the Dutch merchant men in American ports is characteri- zed by the Dutch government, in a statement in the Official Gazette, as "an act of violence which it will op- pose with all the energy of it's con viction and it's wounded national feel ing" The government takes issue with the proclamation of President Wilson regarding the decision of the United States, saying it contains as sertionsl which are contrary to the facts.
 The statement says the Dutch na- tion, with painful surprise" has talk en notice of President Wilson's pro- clamation and that the seizure of a neutral mercantile fleet is unjustifi- able.
 According to President Wilson's proclamation" it continues, the Ne theriands, owing entirely to German pressure, failed to observe the pre- liminary arrangement which was pro- posed for the purpose of leaving nc longer idle the Dutch tonnage in Am eriean ports and furnishing an op- portunity for making voyages within a period of niety days pending de- finite agreement on Dutch tonnage ana rationing. This is distinctly incorrect It is equally as incorrect as the allega-
 tion that Germany had threatened tc | sink two ships which were to sai 1 from Holland in exchange for two iron l America which were to sail to Hol- l land with Americas approval and tha Germany had made increasing threat: l to prevent both the observance of sucl a preliminary arrangement and th' conclusion of a permanent one.

WAR SU5DUED CELEBRATION
 OF EASTER IN NEW YORK
Churches Were Thronged. But There
 Was Little Display of Fashions.

New York, March 31-Wars gray shadow shrouded the celebration of Easter in New York Churches were thronged with worshippers but there was little of the joyousness which in other years has attended the end of the penitehtial season. In every mind there seemed to be the realization that the roar of the guns in Pccardy had made of Holy Week Calvary for half the world. In churches of every faith pastors and priests offered fervent pe- titions for an early peace with a vic-' tory for democracy. Especial prayers were made for the men even then on the march in France under the StaFs and Stripes.
 Bright sunshine with a breath Of spring brought tl1rong to Fifth av- enue but the display of fashions was only shadow of what it has been in other years. Gay colors were con spicuously absent from the gowns and hats of women. There were as many wearing winter suits as gowns Of spring. Many of the men wore the uniform of the United States or its allies and they seemed to be almost continually at salute.
 The fair weather took crowds to Coney. Island and other nearby beach resorts. The advent of daylight saw ing gave them ar added hour to en- joy the coming of spring, but there was everywhere apparent a realiza- ton that the nation is at war. --

ciated Press.)-A great flood of Ger man infantry flowed against the French line stoday between Moreuil and Lassigny.-. It was purely a bat tie of foot soldiers. Heavy masses of Germans were hurled against the Trench time after time, only to be cast back again by counter attacks.
 This was especially the case around Lassigny, the town which formed the limit of the German line before their retreat in March of last year. The battle line f1uctuated several times in the course of the day. both sides dis playing the greatest obstinacy. The French and Germans met often in hand fighting in the villages ot Orvillers, Plemont and Plessier de Rove, where bayonets and hand gren- ades did deadly work.
 German Guns Were overpowered.
 The French artillery sometimes found an opportunity for getting into actior. It overpowered the much weaker German guns. Apparently the enemy has not been able to bring up his heavy canon, the British and French, in retiring at the first rusl, when the battle started ten days ago having destroyed roads and small
 
 ing up of powerful German weapons and also put an obstacle in the way of the bringing forward of supplies.
 Moreuil was the scene of some of the hardest fighting of the day The combatants struggled in the streets until one or the other succumbed. Terrible Execution of Huns. | At one point German attacking col umns came under almost pointblanl ] fire Of French 75's, which did terrible execution in their ranks and caused a panic-stricken retreat of the survi vors.
 The line of attack was extended botf northward and southward during tn, day. Toward evening a slight lull oc cured, but renewed activity was ob 1 served after dark, German reserves evidently having arrived on the scene Ground Covered With German Dead
 The ground before the French line is covered thickly with German dead and the attackers are compelled to ad vance under a constant hail of bullet from cleverly placed detachment equipped with numerous machin guns, whose presence is hidden iron the view of the Germans until the, come within a short distance.
 French aviators had virtually clear ed the skies of their German advers aries, so that the attacking infantr was without the valuable assistanc generally afforded from the air. 1 Battle May Last For Months.
 The opinion is general that the bat tie will be a long one, perhaps keep ing up for months with a series c pauses between the various phase.
