FOE ULTIMATUM TO HOLLAND
Germany Threatens to Occupy Dutch
Ports IF Opposedy'

London, April 24-The German Ill
timatum to Holland, according to adj
vices received in London, demands
the right Of transit not only for civ
ilian supplies and of sand and gravel
through Holland but also for war
materials. The privileges of transit
is asked not only on the Dutch canals
but also on the railroads.
Germany has never before made
any claim of the right of transit for
avowed war materials and the yield
ing of Holland on this point would
be equivalent to the abandonment of
Dutch neutrality.
1t is reported that Germany threat
ems the occupation of Dutch ports
unless Holland yields to the demands.
In Holland, it is said, the feeling
is that acquiescence will force HoI-
lands abandonment of neutrality.
