Despite the determination Of the
Teutonic thrUsts and the reckless

unable to make any progress.
Further proof Of the growing
strength of the British counter Of

Apparently the Germans are ex-

time the most advanced German
position is between j and u miles

SEIZURE VIOLENT
u. S. Receives Statement
From The Hague Protest

INTERNATIONAL news service
WASHINGTON, April THE
state department today received a
lengthy communication from The
Hague. 1t is understood to contain
the official attitude of the Dutch
government on the seizure of the
Dutch ships by the United States
and Great Britain. Unofficial dis
patches from The Hague have stated
that the foreign Office there has
characterized the seizure as "an act
of violence which il will oppose with
all the energy of its conviction and
its wounded national feeling" IL al
so declares that the seizure was UB-
justified.
Officials said that the attiaude of
the Dutch government would not
change the situation. The action of
this government, il was stated. was
taken only after the entire situation
had been investigated and there
would be no change IN policy. Off
cials regret the Dutch position. but
say that nothing further can be done
to change the views of the officials
of the little kingdom.
Officials are inclined to believe
that the Dutch position is dominated
by Berlin. They are inclined to re-
sent the implication that this gov
ernment cid not act in good faith.
The declaration by the Dutch gov.
ernment that the United States
could be expected 10 violate its
promises and seize ships sent here
for grain has displeased officials.
However. under direct instructions.
they refuse TO discuss the situation
in any way.

The principal event in the out
lying theaters of war took place
along the Mesopotamian front
where an entire Turkish division
was nearly cut to pieces 22 miles
northwest of Hit. The British took
three thousand prisoners, 10 guns
and large quantities of supplies. The
British continue in pursuit OF the
remnants of the routed Turkish

miles north Of Hit. From Persia
news of the possibility OF the Per-

Turkish units under German
leadership are believed TO be ad-

there are Austro- Hungarian and
Bulgarian troops lighting with the
Germans on the western front. In
view of the serious situation facing
the Turks i'm Mesopotamia and Pal

Turkish forces have been shifted
into the French theater of war.
A new phase OF the battle has de
veloped and at some points the
Germans have been thrown COM
pIetely upon the defensive. This IS
shown by the fact that the Germans
are feverishly digging themselves in
north Of Albert and near Lassigny.
Furthermore the British and French
forces took more than 1000 prison
ers on Sunday. as well as many ma
chine guns.

gathered. Furthermore, each back
ward step by the invaders adds to the
wheat acreage which will feed the
fighters Of France this winter.
AS the tanks and the infantry batter
their way onward the artillery comes
up behind them, and with the guns
come the reapers.
Alongside positions where French
Gamer were hurting death into the
enemy's ranks in the battles of the
Avre, Aisne, and Disc, American har-
vesters were hard at work.
Around Montididier, where grain
fields were part of the battle ground,
self binders gathered a rich harvest.
Where the big machines could not
reach the grain because of wire en-
tanglements, she'll holes and trenches,
soldiers armed with sythes and sicles
cut the stalks and recovered every
kernel that could be saved.
North of the Aisne the advancing
French found acres where Germans
mans had worked hard to reap the
wheat they had sown, but found the
time too short.
East of the Avre, near Moreuil, the
poilus found a threshing machine al
most intact-evidence that the har-
vesting had been carried on almost up
to the last minute. All the other farm
implements had been taken away or
destroyed.
