TALE OF A DUTCH HOLD UP.
German Papers Feature Incident Recalling
War OF 1912.
BY Associated Press 70 Every Evening

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening
An Atlantic Port, Feb. l9.-German
papers received here feature prominently
tale OF an alleged incident between the
Dutch warship Tromp and a British
warship, suspiciously like an early event
In the history OF the American navy.
The Tromp, according TO the story,
which is fathered upon the Delft Courant
IN German papers, was returning TO The
Netherlands from a foreign cruise when it
encountered British warcraft. which
hoisted signals ordering the Tromp to stop
for examination. The signal was disre-
garded, whereupon a shot was fired across
the Tromp's bows to emphasize the order.
The Tromp still continued on its way,
signalling a query whether the British
could not see that they had TO do with
neutral craft, not subject to British orders,
but the British commander replied that as
the Iromp had passengers aboard it must
halt and be examined The reply Of the
Holland captain, according to the German
account, was to beat to quarters, when the
British warship decided not to press the
matter further.
AS further element IN the story II WAS
added that the incident had been discussed
IN secret session of the Holland second
chamber.
