Dutch Accept
Allies 7 erms
For Shipping
Use of Vessels in the
Danger Zone To Be
Permitted

AMSTERDAM, March 16.--The As
sociated Press hears on excellent
authority that the Dutch government
has accepted the demand of the Allied
governments relating to the use of
Dutch ships in the danger zone.
LONDON, March 16.-A conference
was held at the Berlin Foreign Office
yesterday at which the situation Gre
ated by the contemplated taking over
Of Dutch shipping by the Allies was
discussed, according to Berlin advices
sent by the Exchange Telegraph CORE
spondent at Copenhagen. He quotes
the "Lokal-Anzeiger" as stating that
measures to be taken in the event of
Hollands acceptance or the Allied
terms were particularly discussed.
The reports from the Wilhelm
strasse, added the newspaper, indicated
there were no prospects of Holland ac-
cepting the Allied terms.
In this connection Germany's diplo-
matte representatives. at The Hague are
reported as declaring that Germany's
Rhine tonnage would be placed as far
as possible at the disposal of the Dutch,
and that as much coal as could be
spared for Holland would be shipped to
her from Germany.
A reply from the Dutch government
to the Allies announcement regarding
the utilization Of Dutch shipping is ex-
pected here before Monday. According
to information received here it will
propose an agreement for the use of
Dutch ships on the understanding that
they are not to be taken into the dan
ger zone.
The Allies will not assent to this, and
it is expected the taking over of the
ing to the programme.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Holland,
on the eve of her shipping being taken
over by the United States and Greae
Britain, has given evidences of a reaA
mess to make voluntary agreement
to that purpose, even agreeing that the
ships shall be sent through the war
zone.
In view Of the continued pressure on
the Netherlands by Germany, in oppo-
mystified at the sudden change in the
situation, and began to speculate upon
what arrangements Holland might have
made with Berlin.
1t was stated in official quarters that
Holland probably would make liberal
concessions to Germany when she turns
the ships over to the Allies, but it was
feared that the sudden acquiescence
with the long opposed provision that
the ships be sent through the war zone
might indicate the Netherlands gov
ernment was proposing something new
in connection with the negotiations
which Great Britain and the United
States would be unable to accept.

Wilson Convinced
Nolu That Germans
Are Er,7pire-Mad
By G. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, March Let was
officially intimated to-day that the
President might make an early declara-
ton about Russia. If a speech or let
ter is written by him on this subject,
both Germany's conduct toward Rus
sia and Austria's conduct toward Ru-
mania are likely to receive attention
The high hand which Czernin has shown
in dealing with Rumania has dsillu-
stoned the Administration. 1t no
longer divides the Central Powers into
the sheep and the goats. Austria has
manhandled Rumania and ignored the
Presidents speech specially addressed
to her. Liberalism must look else
where.
When the President speaks or writes
it will probably be to put an end to
peace talk as much as to utter the
rallying cry to liberals the world over
in the fight to end the triumph of mill
tarism in the East. For it has come
to be strongly felt here that peace talk
now only serves Germany's interests,
and it is believed now that what is
heard is largely accelerated So much
is this true that an official statement
on the impossibility of concluding a
peace upon any such terms as Germany
might be expected to accept is almost
sure to be forthcoming in the immedi-
ate future, whether in the form Of a
Presidential utterance or not.
Believe Germany
Now Empire Mad
Washington believes that Germany
is now empire mad. And Austria is
thought to be only a little worse than
Germany in its imperial and militar-
lstlc purposes. No one thinks Ger
many will restore Russia unless she is
compelled by force of arms to restore
her. What is being done in the East
bears all the marks of a permanent
purpose. And as Washington sees Ger
many, great change has taken place
there which makes peace remote. The
parties which seemed TO be swinging
toward liberalism have swung back tow
ard reaction. Every one seems intoxi-
Gated at the prospect of profit that lies
in the great commercial empire toward
the East
The Centrist party no longer inclines
toward a peace bought with conces-
sions. Scheidemann has weakened in
his advocacy of such peace. The doc
trine of no annexations no longer ap-
peals to state which has lost its head
over the Eldorado that lies before it.
won and to D. held by German men
and guns.
The German press sings different
tune from what it was singing a short
while ago. There is, official Washing
ton knows, not the slightest hope of
peace to be derived from the reading of
what German editors are saying. The
mlitarist papers are jubilant What
We're formerly the liberal papers are
hesitant. A war weary nation has been
transformed into o nation determined
to fight for the spoils she has won.
All this is clearly seen here, and it is
understood to be perceived equally by
the Administration that peace talk does

Message and Ratify
Peace by a Big
Majority

1t is intimated in Washington that
President Wilson will soon make
a public statement on Russia. 1t
is believed that the Presidents
declaration will be ca1 to arms
for the utter defeat of German
and Austrian militarism as now
exhibited in eastern Europe. He
is said to have lost faith in the
fair words of Count Czernin and
Hertling.
The AllRussian Congress of So
viets at Moscow, after sending
message of Bolshevik propaganda
to America in reply to President
Wilson's cable of sympathy, have
finally ratified the German made
peace by large majority.
The congress, however, while ac-
cepting, condemned the German
peace terms and adopted resolu-
tions calling for an "army of de-
fence of both sexes. The So
cial Revolutionaries withdrew
from the congress, affirming they
would never submit to the Ger
man demands.
Direct advices from TOXIC say that
the press of Japan, after some dis
sension, is now practically a unit
for intervention in Siberia. The
japanese declare they will act
without ulterior motives, and as
loyal friends of Russia, seeking to
save her from her enemies. Nego-
tiations now in progress forecast
the joint intervention of China
with Japan.

w would the war look to US if
we could see it with German
eyes and then return to our American
standpoint?
What do the Germans think about
the war; and what are their grounds
for thinking so?
What are conditions in Germany
which Justify the German point Of
view?
Such questions must suggest them
selves to the mind of cvery thouchtfu,
reader of Count Hertling's recent
speeches. and Of every observer of
Germany's course toward Russia
What, then, are conditions in Cor.
many? They seem to ne to fall under
two chief heads:
F1rst-The psychological attitude of
the people toward the war. toward
recent peace movements, toward the
Kaiser;
Secondly - The state of bus;ness
the financial resources of war the food
supply and prospects.
/ have therefore to deal with no,;t-
ical and economic matters. all with
a view to giving some sort Of answer
to the question, How long can Ger
many hold out?
State of Feeling
The matter of chief concern for MS
is to know just how the Germans feel
about the war. What is their view
of the military situation? What does
it seem TO them to promise? We know
that the Germans are hungry, but how
far is their hunger breaking their
powers of resistance? Have they the
will to fight on?
1t must be evident to any one who
has followed the German papers close.

people have begun this year with re-

based, not upon the utterances of Ger
mans in authority-which might he
put forth chiefly for foreign consump-
tlon-but upon a multitude of other
expressions where there could have
been no thought of influencing FOREIGN
opinion. Even the financial reviews
printed in the Berlin and other papers
about the end of last year were pitched
in martial key, with military conf
dence as the dominant note One of
the leading writer's of this class may
be taken as typical of the general Ger

city at the end Of the month.
The appointment rests with May

Should Mr.. Campbell be named
