SEIZURE OF SHIPS CAUSES
OUTBURST OF ANGER
Feelings of Dutch, to All Ap-
pearances, Are Badly Hurt.
Comment on Wilson's
Pre- clamation.

Amsterdam. March 22.--The text of
President Wilson's proclamation re-
garding Dutch shipping reached Hol-
land after the Thursday evening news
papers had gone to press. Meanwhile
a somewhat bluntly- worded dispatch
from Washington speaking Of "the
seizure of the ships after the war trade
board had been informed Holland had
rejected the American ultimatum"
caused an outburst Of puzzled anger
from virtually the whole Dutch press.
1t Is argued that there hab seen no
rejection by Holland of an ultimatum
and that previously nothing has been
heard of an ultimaum. The feelings
of the Dutch to all appearances are
badly hurt.
The bourse opened today with
stream of selling orders but there was
no panic
